That she is making a mistake. I knew I wouldn't like him. Narcissistic pr*ck!

Glad he's gone too. What an entitled attitude.

Wow thanks everyone for the play by play. I can't wait until it airs in my time zone. so far twitter has been positive about this show.

I liked that her parents and friends are staying with her. Her mom in particular seems so sweet. I'm not sure how a prospective engagement would work with the guys who are from far-flung places around the globe.

I spent a good part of my youth reading Regency romances, and learned a good bit about the era. The show only bears a glancing similarity to an accurate representation, but then again, it was never meant to do more than that. IMO the biggest historical error was in putting the lead into a red dress, which would never have happened for an unmarried woman back then (it would only have been white or pale pastels.) I'm not even sure that a married woman would have worn that. But I understood why they did it -- to make her stand out from the crowd. And as much as I loved the dresses, they were a little over the top in terms of decoration. Also, men's evening wear had switched over to black at that point in history. But I loved the costumes anyway! So much fun. They must have had a blast dressing up and enjoying a luxe life.

@Amethyst thanks for your input and knowledge.

I read an article quickly last night while looking for something and it was similar to your comments, what they got right and what they didn't for that era.

I never really had any involvement or experience in reading anything much about that era. It's fascinating. We should have a fashion thread.

I will work on that in the next day or so.

@Amethyst Thanks so much for the information. Very interesting indeed. I also tend to agree with you on the reasons why they did dress Nicole in a red dress so she could stand out, same for the gents as well. Either way I thought everyone looked so good. Loved the style and the fashion in general. The dresswear for the guys could make even the most jerk of a guy look respectable .

I just checked my TV Guide to remind me if this was on 8pm or 9pm and it shows 7pm eastern!!!

Tv says 8 pm. Remember day light savings LOL

@Jeepers that's strange. Everything else is the right time except this show.

Are you in an area that does not change time?

@Jeepers no, we are now on DST. It's on now.

The guys look great in their outfits.

The host is a hoot.

The gents are canoeing and the three that weren't with her decided to serenade her singing Row row row your boat. This show is so fun!
