Spoilers ahead for all three seasons ofBridgerton.
But money simply cant buy sense.
Throughout the show, the Bridgertons are hindered by the ignorance that aristocratic privilege affords.
Below, dear reader, the current Bridgerton ranking,
11.DaphneHastings,Duchess
Season-one ranking: No.
7Being the eldest daughter comes with a heap of responsibility, whether its 1813 or 2021.
Unlike Anthony, Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) has made her duties her whole personality.
Maybe this explains why the teen has precisely zero friends to tell her aboutthe birds and the bees.
Season-two ranking: No.
8Daphnes homemaking destiny looks good on her.
Her husband isnt mentioned except when referring to his dukedom or through his progeny, Augie.
They couldve made anything up.
I suppose the girl plays a smart game of pall-mall?
She can have that.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
Season-three, part two ranking: No.
9No, seriously …
10.GregoryBridgerton
Season-one Ranking: No.
3 (tie)Weve come to the Bridgertons with the least amount of screen time.
Season-two Ranking: No.
There are photos of Edmund everywhere?
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
7How rude of Francesca to leave him in the dust like this!
Season-three, part-two ranking: No.
8Whatever Gregory read in Colins travelogue will not be a good influence on him.
He already owes Hyacinth a chocolate macaron.
9.BenedictBridgerton
Season-one ranking: No.
Simply wont stand for it.
Inan upcoming season, just let Benedict marry a man.
(Sorry, fans of the books.)
Itll probably require less paperwork than a hetero marriage did back then.
Some of us cannot.
What sort of hero gets bodied by his little sister like that?
Season-two ranking: No.
9I experienced two major moments of disappointment this season.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
6Is Lady Whistledown reading this ranking?
Benedict is literally relegated to Anthony No.
2 so his brother can take an extended honeymoon and his mom can continue as lady of the house.
He has nothing to do but play Larry Russell and take up with a widow.
Just like across the pond, Benedict is stalling destiny.
And the writers are stalling us as they figure out what to do with his sexuality.
Season-three, part-two ranking: No.
Its impressive how little growth he takes away from such a major life development.
Rakish ways, well get you next time!
8.AnthonyBridgerton,Viscount
Season-one ranking: No.
Didnt they tell you Sienas a savage?
Season-two ranking: No.
Thats one way to work through your trauma.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
Season-three part-two ranking: No.
Bridgerton privilege once again veers dangerously close to naivete.
At least he has Kate to hold his hair back on the ship.
7.EloiseBridgerton
Season-one ranking: No.
She wants nothing to do with the sacrifices her mother and sister have made.
Her real fears about marriage and childbirth are tossed aside the louder she expresses them.
Still, she is a Bridgerton.
Season-two ranking: No.
4Eloise is so sure shes better than the rest of the ladies of the ton.
And yet she fell into one of the patriarchys earliest traps: ditching your BFF for a boy.
Personally, I wouldnt play so fast and loose with myonlyfriend.
Has she not gotten to the women support women part of the pamphlets?
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
8Eloise is on her own feminism journey.
The lesbian masterdoc isnt going to write itself.
Season-three, part-two ranking: No.
Eloise does have amazing taste in cunning women.
6.ColinBridgerton
Season-one ranking: No.
5Colin (Luke Newton) nearly risked it all to add a swirl to the Bridgerton family line.
Season-two ranking: No.
5Colin comes home from his world tour no more worldly than when he left.
He manages to see through a Featherington scheme and support a Black-owned business!
The people of the ton should know to bet on William Mondrich by now.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
5Whatdidthe third-eldest Bridgerton get up to in his travels, and why is he so coy about it?
Has Colin been writing smutty real-person fic about his siblings under the pen name Julia Quinn?
Gotta hand it to him.
Most lords are not imaginative enough for a carriage-ride finger-bang.
Season-three, part-two ranking: No.
6The himbo gene has awoken.
When was the last time Benedict picked up a paintbrush?
5.KateBridgertonneeSharma,Viscountess
Season-two ranking: No.
Its a shame we dont really get to see her stand up for what she deserves.
Congrats to her for what she does lying down, though …
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
3Just because she nabbed a cowboy doesnt mean she has to give up riding.
Season-three part-two ranking: No.
5The Bridgerton sensibility is infectious, and Kate needed to get out of there immediately.
Watching her tend to the familys moods feels like a waste of her intelligence.
4.VioletBridgerton,DowagerViscountess
Season-one ranking: No.
Teach your kids about sex?
When all is said and done, nothing else matters.
Season-two ranking: No.
How will she respond to the other Bridgerton boys getting married?
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
Season-three, part two ranking: No.
This time, theres more trust in her kids and herself.
Plus, a new grandchild to dote on.
3.FrancescaBridgerton
Season-one ranking: No.
Obviously we need a lot more data, but for now theyre ranked here, noting their absences.
Yaaasss, Bridgertons, give us nothing.
Season-two ranking: No.
3One word: forgettable.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
A husband cant stop sheer determination.
And sorry to whatever sucker she presumably left in Bath.
Shell compose a pianoforte album with, like, one song about him eventually.
Season-three, part two ranking: No.
3How modest and practical of Francesca to host her wedding at home instead of the massive church.
However, its so intimate, surely everyone saw the doubt on her face after kissing her new husband.
Thataegyo salisnt hiding anything!
The new Mrs. Kilmartin will do anything to get out of London, appreciated consistency among her wishy-washy siblings.
A mama just knows.
2.PenelopeBridgertonneeFeatherington
Season three, part-two ranking: No.
Took them long enough.
All three seasons were leading up to the moment Penelope Featherington and Lady Whistledown could no longer stay separate.
Not to mention, shes now an orator.
1.HyacinthBridgerton
Season-one ranking: No.
Ladies and gentlefolk, weve found this seasons incomparable!
Season-two ranking: No.
Season-three, part-one ranking: No.
1May Hyacinth never take her foot off the necks of her siblings.
Shesthree-for-threeon pointing out their obvious love connections and accepting them wholeheartedly.
Season-three, part-two ranking: No.
When her time does come, Hyacinth will be formidable.
