Fans Have Chosen Their Favorite Bridgerton Brother, and It's Not Who You Think

When Shonda Rhimes decided to bring Julia Quinn's steamy novel series to life, one of the creators' biggest problems was no doubt casting the right actors for the lead roles.

After all, in the romance genre, the appeal of the main characters, especially male ones, plays a leading role. They can charm viewers and keep them glued to the screen, or they can drive them away. In the case of Bridgerton, all the stars aligned. The British acting scene provided the perfect actors to play the Bridgerton siblings.

In fact, the casting team did such a great job that it is hard to choose your favorite Bridgerton man. Each of them has a unique charm that appeals to different tastes. Fortunately, for difficult cases like this, we have polls.

And the latest fan poll on the show's subreddit has given us a definitive answer on who fans favor when it comes to the four Bridgerton brothers. Let's see if you feel the same way.

Fourth place: Gregory

Gregory is still a child in the Netflix series, and has only appeared in a few family scenes so far. So it is only natural that he takes the last place in the fan rating. We need to see him grow and become the romantic, sweet and slightly crazy young man he is in the eighth Quinn book, On the Way to the Wedding.

Third place: Colin

This may come as a surprise, but Colin comes in second to last in the fan rankings. The lead character of the upcoming third season is a favorite of many book fans, but in the show he remains in the background.

Colin is a sweetheart with a somewhat naive outlook on life, but he quickly learns to be a true protector, and there's no doubt that he will draw a bigger crowd after Season 3 with his boyish charm and passion for Penelope.

Second place: Anthony

Yes, believe it or not, the Season 2 protagonist is not a fan favorite. Still, many viewers have a huge soft spot for the Viscount Bridgerton after his personal glow-up. Anthony can be flawed and wild at times, but he is also the most relatable and fleshed-out brother, which makes him extremely appealing.

First place: Benedict

Surprisingly, fans chose the second brother as their favorite. While he has mostly been a supporting character in the show and even had his solo story pushed aside, Benedict stands out for many viewers.

Luke Thompson is undoubtedly responsible for this. The actor manages to do a lot with the little screen time he gets. His charisma and facial expressions are top-notch, and that's just the beginning. What will happen when Benedict's glow-up occurs? Oof... The creators just have to devote Season 4 to his story.
