Eloise is in a privileged position, she is rich, comes from a sweet family, and she fits the beauty standards of those times. Eloise can afford to wait and never marry, because she will be taken care of, Pen though, doesnt have the luxury of seeing marriage as a choice. So I wish that sometimes Eloise would focus a bit more on Penelope's struggles and help her, instead of judging and ranting all day about marriage.

I don’t like how they did Eloise in the show, I get what they were going for but to me she comes off as self centered and immature that’s why in SS2 I don’t agree with how Penelope handles things but Eloise is in the wrong too and won’t admit it because she can’t see past herself to how anyone else might view the world.

Eloise is objectively a pretty self centered person, especially when it comes to Pen. It’s like she sees her as an extension of herself rather than an independent person with different dreams and hopes (I love E btw, it’s ok that she has flaws). It makes me think of Jo and Meg from Little Women, “just because my dreams are different from yours doesn’t mean they’re unimportant.”

Zuff: “he’s gonna beat up Daphne” Everyone: laughs Rob: “not funny” lol 😂😂😂

Side note for Bryce @6:51 : Pen does NOT love her yellow dresses, in fact she actually hates them 😂Those are the Featherington’s house colours so she has to wear them. Even in Episode 1 she told Colin she was happy her mother wasn’t with her at the Vauxhall ball because she got to wear something that was not yellow 😂

Robs disgusted face at a crying lord featherington 😂

Zuff: “Is this real?” / Bryce: “Those are people” / Rob: “Those are nude women, yes” This whole exchange cracked me up! 15:57

Omg your panic at the Daphne - Simon scene in the garden was EVERYTHING!!! Rooob 😂😂😂 Can’t wait for the rest of the series, these videos are just so fun!

I love how invested y’all are in with the relationship of Daphne and the Duke. ❤️ Season 2 is even better!

So a dowry was essentially the payment the family of the bride made to the husband- super antiquated. A second is the person who usually prepares the weapon for the dueler and negotiates on behalf of their person to hopefully avoid a duel.

I believe the second also was the one that found the location and organized the duel. They are the people that help deal with the body /injuries depending on if they were able to have a dr present.

Y'all need to go watch the 10 Duel Commandments from Hamilton ASAP! (I mean, you really should watch ALL of Hamilton if you haven't seen it), but 10 Duel Commandments does a good job of explaining how dueling worked. Also, a dowry is the money that the woman's family pays to her new husband's family when they get married. It's literally paying the guy to take her on as his wife. The richer the girl's family, the larger the dowry. That's why Lord Featherington had to run off Philippa's suitor, because he's in so much debt he could not pay her dowry were they to get married. He literally can't afford for any of his daughters to get married and needs them to wait until next season when hopefully he will be in a better financial state.

@remplidefeux

Жыл бұрын

Just to piggy-back on this, as I understand it, the dowry was pretty much the woman's side of the wealth brought to the marriage. A man might inherit properties or businesses or whatever that generate income, but a woman didn't possess any of that, so the dowry was her contribution to the marriage. A lot of times it would even be used to like pay for her future daughter's dowries. So like, if a woman literally had NO dowry at all, no one was gonna marry her because she financially brought nothing to the marriage.

Great reaction. But remember. Daphne is "in" the show. Not watching it like the viewers. She did not see the scene of the Dukes Dad dying....... If someone says to you under normal circumstances that they "can not give you children".......... what would you think??? That they are "incapable" of giving her children. It plays out much better this way.... Thanks for all your reactions.

Aa for the Benedict vibes you guys felt... Team Bi Benedict. Right here.

“He’s gonna beat up Daphne..not funny ” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Penelope actually hates the yellow dresses but her mother insists t h at she wear that color, or at least something bright.

A dowry is money, property or other resources the bride's family gives to her husband. The more money, the more desirable a match. Also, it helps keep the bride safer as it has to be returned in instances of divorce or in some instances abuse. It can also be used to help a new couple set up their new household. It can vary from locations or time periods.

love seeing people reacting to bridgerton for the first time!!

Living off these reactions😂

I love Zuff... "Little red blue-ding hood" (esp because I was thinking the same thing during this scene)

"I need baby Dukes" 😂

I'm living for the reactions of all the Simon and Daphne scenes. It feels like I'm watching with you guys. I'm literally getting shocked again even though I watched the scenes already.

I love your considerate deep talks at the end of each episode :) the way you reflect about Simon and his childhood and father-topic...

"I love Pen" me too🥰 phillipa and mr. Finch are adorable ngl also you're not wrong there was definitely some sexual tension between benedict and henry😌

Mr. Finch in the TV show is really Lord Berbrook in the book. In the book, the Berbrook character acted like Mr. Finch, so the TV show change Berbrook into a creepy old man, when he really wasn't that way in the book. Also, the book makes it clear that Daphne trapped Simon into this wedding by luring him into the garden. The scene where Daphne finds out from Colin where the duel takes place was 10 times better written in the book, because she basically confessed to Colin how much she loves Simon and seeing his sister in tears is what motivated Colin to help Daphne.

Duels had a funny status. Men of the upper classes would feel obligated to challenge someone to a duel if sufficiently offended -- and yet they were officially illegal, and if you killed the other guy you were guilty of murder and would probably want to flee the country. (A "second," as maybe you eventually figured out, was your friend who stood on the sidelines, handing you your weapon at the proper time, and maybe going for medical help afterward, or else helping you get away quickly.) A dowry was a portion of the family fortune (property or money or both) set aside for the marriages of the daughters, to be given to the husband when the ceremony took place, to be added to his own family fortune. Everyone of the upper classes was concerned to maintain their social status, with enough money banked that they could live on the income each year.

I really like how into this show you guys are. It seems a bit outside the box for yinz. I do like to be surprised though.

I like the background music you guys play during the intro. Definitely adds texture to your rundown.

If you look at statistics, arround 4% of the adult population is gay (out of those, a bit more than half are bi). So, there is more than a posibility that all 8 of them are straight, or if gay (bi) end up with the opposite sex. I mean, I am all for lgbt visibility, but there is such a thing as pushing the pendulum to the opposite extreemes (from gay characters being "hidden" to being pushed into everything), and whole families being straight is indeed "the norm" (aka the experience of a large majority of the population).

No, she thinks he “can’t have children”… not the truth, that he just doesn’t want to have kids bc of his vowel to his father

26:10 I only have the knowledge from Hamilton (the broadway musical), but iirc your Second is your negotiator. They are the one who will try to get a deal with the opposing party, but if it doesn't work, you'll have to do the duel.

An affair of honor in this context means a matter of honor.

Penelope is so relatable really wish Colin could see what’s right in front of him and pen is my fav because I relate to her the most being the chunky one of my friends and family and even though I’m kind and loyal guys always go for my friends and family and I get friendzoned but I also have a bit of Eloise the funny straightforward one

Little blue riding hood ❌ Little red blue-ding hood ✅

27:44 A dowry's money that's been put aside for a young woman by her family, it's what will come with her when she gets married. Sort of like a trust fund, except that it doesn't mean that she'll get the money when she gets married, it means her husband or her husband's family will get the money. If the young woman isn't considered pretty then a sizeable dowry can be another way of attracting a husband. The point is they'll be hard to find a man who will take any of the Featherington sisters if they don't have a dowry. In any case, that's money he shouldn't have spent.

A dowry is money or material things given to the groom for the male to agree marry the female. So woe is the family that has many daughters or all daughters. We see this issue in Pride and Prejudice too (please react to the Pride Prejudice starring Kiera Knightley!). Its an archaic practice today and not practiced anymore except in a subset of some cultures. In my culture, its the opposite, the male pay for the women (bride's price) but even this practice is waning.

A lot of castles and manors have maze in the garden:) It's really fun to do then when visiting!

What I don’t get is that for someone who is so vehemently against procreating, I don’t understand how Simon was so promiscuous… pretty sure they did not have contraception back then or at least it was not reliable. Seems pretty risky to sleep around when you don’t want kids at any cost..

He has a "good" pull-out game, but yes, it's risky. I don't think illegitimate children count and wouldn't become Duke.

Hi Guys - A DOWERY was a monetary amount negotiated by the brides and the grooms families. The brides family would pay the grooms family to take their daughter into their family. Women were considered to have only one value , to be BROOD MARES to sell for reproduction and produce heirs. Men have value because they can earn a wage and carry on the families lineage. So Featherington gambling away his daughters dowries means they cannot marry unless they find someone to marry who does not demand a dowery. He has cursed his ENTIER family to ruin because now they are broke with no prospects of marriage.

at some point yall should react to hamilton... i think you'd really like it!

I hope you guys can watch Outlander or Vikings after this show, they are both great shows and would love for you to check them out!!!!
