00:00Are you going to ask me to dance?
00:03One last time."
00:04Are you going to say yes?"
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're ranking all the main Bridgerton couples.
00:12We're only looking at canon relationships for this one.
00:15It is you and me.
00:17We can do this.
00:20Together.
00:217.
00:22Simon and Daphne
00:23We are truly to seem to be courting, but this is to be a match like no other.
00:30Though the show and books began with the Duke and Duchess of Hastings, there are just too
00:35many problems with this pairing for them to rank highly.
00:38While Simon was the perfect romantic lead who set passions burning across the globe,
00:42there's a huge elephant in the room where these two are concerned.
00:45How could you?
00:46How could I?
00:48How could I?
00:49You lied to me.
00:50I did not lie.
00:51I trusted you.
00:52Yes, we're talking about that scene in episode 6 where Daphne does not allow Simon to withdraw
00:57consent, even though he tells her to stop.
01:00You were the one who insisted on this union.
01:02You told me I was enough.
01:04That was before I knew you.
01:06The scene may be handled better in the show than in the book, but the fact that Daphne
01:09never faces real consequences for what she did, and indeed remains convinced that Simon
01:14was the real problem in their relationship, means that the Hastings have to stay at the
01:18bottom.
01:19The incident tars even their most romantic moments, unfortunately.
01:23I am so sorry.
01:25For what?
01:27Even a duke cannot control the weather.
01:29Number 6.
01:30John and Francesca
01:31Lord Kilmartin, I am afraid I am rather parched from dancing the Lord's Samadhani, so much
01:37so that I do not feel much like talking.
01:39Is that not in fact our preferred form of communication?
01:42This unconventional couple are one of the latest matches made in the Tan.
01:46Francesca sought only to have a practical marriage with a man who would let her pursue
01:50her interests, but she's found a true companion in John Sterling, Earl of Kilmartin.
01:55Forgive me, I was simply...
01:56In need of some quiet.
01:57I've been in search of it all night.
02:00The two meet after an overwhelming party, both craving some peace and quiet away from
02:04the chaos of the ballroom.
02:06Despite hardly talking to one another, it's clear that a connection is made, as Francesca
02:10is thrilled when Lord Kilmartin calls on her the following day.
02:13Miss Francesca.
02:14John Sterling, Earl of Kilmartin.
02:17It is a pleasure to meet you.
02:20Pleasure is mine.
02:22Learning about her interest in music, he also has a piece she criticized rearranged to suit
02:27her tastes, and she stands up for their relationship even as others question it for not being as
02:31passionate or earth-shattering as some of Bridgerton's others.
02:34She does not speak to him.
02:36I am in awe.
02:37I thought one had to use wit or banter to dissuade a suited but simple silence.
02:42It's radically more effective.
02:44Number five.
02:45Will and Alice.
02:46And this is your bedchamber, Mrs. Mondritch.
02:48Just opposite Mr. Mondritch's.
02:50Separate rooms?
02:51Of course.
02:52That is how it is done.
02:53Introduced as friends of Simon and some of the show's few characters who weren't born
02:57into high society, the Mondritches have become much more important in season three.
03:02I have been up against men in the ring who could have killed me, and yet I somehow find
03:06myself more nervous about tonight's program of dancing and socializing.
03:10As such, we're ranking them alongside our other favorites.
03:13They may not have the high drama of the other couples, but seeing them navigate married
03:17life in Regency England is a delight.
03:20I do not wish to sleep, at least not yet.
03:24And when I do, I will sleep here with my beautiful wife.
03:29Their most swoon-worthy moment so far comes after they attend their first ball, with Benedict
03:33explaining to Will that, while the tan is restrictive for some, it offers immense freedom
03:38to the people who aren't on the marriage mart.
03:41But it is ours, so let us enjoy it.
03:44No more tiptoeing around, no more sleeping in separate bedrooms.
03:48No more Old Lady Kent clothes.
03:50Despite it being customary for rich, married couples not to share bedrooms, Will tells
03:54Alice that they're in charge now, and they can do what they like and live on their own
03:59terms.
04:00Number four.
04:01Brimsley and Reynolds.
04:02Would you like to step indoors while we wait to find out?
04:06Warm up a bit.
04:07It is a cool night.
04:08Thank you, sir.
04:10Co-written by Shonda Rhimes and Julia Quinn herself, Queen Charlotte landed on Netflix
04:14back in 2023.
04:16Though most of the show's focus was on the king and queen, another couple stole the spotlight
04:20a handful of times.
04:22We quickly learn that Charlotte's butler, Brimsley, is in love with the king's footman,
04:26Reynolds.
04:27Will it last?
04:28Will he stay as he is?
04:30Thrown together by the royal marriage, Brimsley and Reynolds take every opportunity to spend
04:34time with each other away from prying eyes.
04:37Though it seems initially that this may just be a steamy affair, that's not the case.
04:42They would be together, have a marriage, grow old as one.
04:47We would serve them together.
04:50A lifetime.
04:52Yeah.
04:53A lifetime.
04:54These two are a dedicated pair, and it was heartbreaking to see Brimsley in Bridgerton's
04:59present dancing alone.
05:01We don't know what happened to Reynolds, but as the show's only main LGBTQIA plus pairing
05:06so far, they deserve a place on our list.
05:09Only love can make miracles.
05:16It can.
05:18Number 3.
05:20George and Charlotte
05:21Are you in need of assistance of some kind?
05:23Uh, I am quite fine, thank you.
05:25Though they didn't have a press circuit quite as relentless as Bridgerton proper, Queen
05:29Charlotte and King George III won over viewers everywhere.
05:33I'm a lady in distress.
05:35You refuse to help a lady in distress.
05:37I refuse when that lady in distress is trying to go over a wall so that she does not have
05:41to marry me.
05:42Their relationship starts off difficult when Charlotte tries to run from George on their
05:46wedding day, since they're getting married without meeting.
05:49George!
05:50I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth.
05:53I will tell you where you are.
05:54Do you love me?
05:55I love you!
05:57He then hides from her in queue, and it takes a while for her to find out that this is because
06:00he's unwell and is trying to protect her from the worst of it.
06:04The steamy scenes are some of the best in the entire Bridgerton universe, but the spinoff
06:08also had devastating scenes of the elder George and Charlotte, as George struggles to remember
06:13who she is.
06:14But you have to be very dedicated to someone to have 15 children together.
06:24Thank you.
06:29Thank you.
06:31Number 2.
06:32Colin and Penelope
06:34You've...
06:35...sworn off women, then?
06:36Not for the time being.
06:38I...
06:39...am a woman.
06:41You are...
06:42...Pen.
06:43You do not count.
06:45You're my friend.
06:46The latest leading couple, fans have been waiting for Colin and Penelope since the beginning.
06:51Their timeless story of the quiet girl falling for the boy next door has been hotly anticipated.
06:56And season three leans fully into the rom-com elements of this friends-to-lovers tale.
07:00Would you kiss me?
07:05Penelope.
07:06It would not have to mean anything, and I would never expect anything from you because of it,
07:09but I am nearly on the shelf, and I have never been kissed, and I am not certain I ever will be.
07:13It looked for a minute like Colin would never get his act together,
07:16and realize that Penelope is the woman of his dreams.
07:19But all it took was one kiss between them for him to fall head over heels.
07:23Feelings like dreaming of you when I'm asleep,
07:25and in fact preferring sleep because that is where I might find you.
07:28And his declaration of love in the carriage ride home really did rival Simon and Anthony's similar speeches,
07:34and was followed immediately by a proposal.
07:37A feeling that is like torture,
07:41but one which I cannot,
07:43will not,
07:45do not want to,
07:47give up.
07:48We're not yet sure how their happy ending is going to be reached,
07:51given Penelope's lady whistle-down shaped secret,
07:53but we can't wait to find out.
07:55For God's sake, Penelope Featherington,
07:57are you going to marry me or not?

08:18Number 1. Anthony and Kate
08:21You are the bane of my existence.
08:28And the object of all my desires.
08:31Though Bridgerton season 1 broke records, season 2 was a revelation.
08:35Enemies to lovers replaced the classic fake relationship trope,
08:39and Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma might be the greatest enemies to lovers of them all.
08:44Night and day, I dream of you.
08:48And what are you?
08:51Do you even know all the ways a lady can be seduced?
08:55The entire world was glued to Netflix as we waited for them to admit their feelings,
09:00made even harder by the fact that their main obstacle, Edwina, was so easy to love.
09:05Season 2 brought the drama as well,
09:07with Anthony getting all the way to the altar until Edwina realized the truth and called the wedding off,
09:12and Kate then almost dying during a rainstorm.
09:15Truly, these two have more chemistry than anybody else on the show,
09:19and it's clear why their book is also one of the most beloved in the series.
09:23We love every minute that the Viscount and Viscountess Bridgerton are on screen.
09:28Will you do not vex me?
09:33Is that a promise, C'thun Ishaq?
09:36Let us know in the comments which couple you think are relationship goals.
09:39Notice you I cannot sacrifice.
09:44I burn for you.
