IF THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY, HAVE A
GREAT BIRTHDAY, AND THEY LIVED
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR LOVE, IT’S
FAIRYTALE DREAM, AND FOR ONE
WOMAN, THAT FAIRYTALE IS COMING
TRUE, BUT YOU HAVE TO THROW IN A
DASH OF DRAMA THAT CONNELLS WITH
REALITY.
LAST NIGHT THE COURTSHIP
PREMIERED RIGHT HERE ON LOCAL 4.
>> HOW THE OLD WAYS OF COURTSHIP
LEAD TO NEW ROMANCE?
>> ETIQUETTE AND BEING PROPER
AND CHIVALRY.
>> A JOURNEY WHERE SWIPING IS
OUT AND COURTING IS IN.
>> I HEAR THE THUNDER OF
19th CENTURY BOOTIES?
>> Tati:
>> WAIT, BOOTIES?
THEY’RE GORGEOUS.
I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN
IT.
>> Tati: WELL, JOINING US THIS
MORNING IS NICOLE REMY, THE LADY
LOOKING FOR LOVE ON THE
COURTSHIP.
GOOD MORNING, IT’S IS GREAT THE
TALK WITH YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GREAT TO BE HERE.
>> Tati: FIRST, LET’S TALK
ABOUT THIS CONCEPT.
WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS GOING
INTO THIS KIND OF
"BRIDGERTON"-JANE AUSTEN
FAIRYTALE KIND OF SITUATION?
>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO ADMIT, I
WAS A BIT SCEPTICAL AT FIRST.
THIS IS VERY OUT OF MY COMFORT
ZONE.
I DON’T TYPICALLY DATE IN A
CASTLE WEARING THESE GOWNS, YOU
KNOW, AND I FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE
SPECIOUS FELT SO MAGICAL AND IT
FELL LIKE EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID,
THIS FAIRYTALE JANE AUSTEN NOVEL
COMING TO LIFE.
AND IT REALLY JUST ALLOWED ME TO
FEEL SORT OF IDEAL -- LIKE FEEL
LIKE I COULD BE PART OF THIS
ROMANTIC STORY THAT I WAS LIVING
>> Tati: SO WHEN THINGS ARE
SET UP IN THIS OTHER TYPE OF
WORLD, HOW DO YOU STAY GROUNDED
IN REALITY AND THINK ABOUT LOVE
AND LIFE OUTSIDE OF ALL OF THE
MAGNIFICENT THINGS HAPPENING TO
YOU?
>> YEAH, THAT’S A GREAT
QUESTION.
THAT’S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY
CONSIDERED BEING A PART OF THIS
PROCESS WAS KNOWING THAT, YOU
KNOW, WE’RE IN THE WORLD WHERE
EVERYTHING IS MAGICAL AND
FANTASY AND THERE’S GLITZ AND
GLAM, BUT ALSOEMEMBERING THAT
WE HAVE TO COME BACK INTO THE
REAL WORLD AND SEE IF THESE
RELATIONSHIPS WILL CONTINUE.
BUT I THINK WHAT WAS MOST
IMPORTANT IS REMINDING
OURSELVES, I MIGHT BE A PART OF
THIS REGENCY ERA, BUT I’M STILL
A MODERN GIRL.
MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AND
MAKING SURE WE STAYED TRY TO
MYSELF THE WHOLE TIME AND
BRINGING ELEMENTS OF MY
DAY-TO-DAY MODERN GIRL LIFE INTO
THAT SPACE OR WHATEVER, IT
REALLY HELPED ME FOCUS ON, YOU
KNOW, THE CONNECTIONS THAT WERE
BEING MADE, AND IF THEY TRULY
ARE DEEP CONNECTIONS THAT ARE
BEING MADE, YOU KNOW, THEY
SHOULD WITHSTAND THE TEST OF IN
THIS CASE TIME.
>> SPEAKING OF CONNECTION, WE
SAW YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST DECISION
LAST NIGHT AND SEND SOME PEOPLE
HOME.
VIEWERS ALSO WONDER HOW
DIFFICULT THAT IS FOR SOMEONE IN
YOUR SHOES.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
>> IT’S REALLY TOUGH.
I HAVE TO SAY, KNOWING THAT I’M, YOU KNOW, SORT OF REHABILITATION
YOU KNOW, SORT OF REHABILITATION
INSTITUTE OFOF RESPONSI LLEFOR T
THEY LEFT THEIR JOB, THEIR
FAMILY, THEIR PLACE OF COMFORT
TO COME TO THE U.K. TO HOPEFULLY
FIND LOVE.
IT’S EMOTIONAL.
IT’S EMOTIONAL THINKING THAT,
YOU KNOW, I COULD BE MAKING A
DECISION THAT I, YOU KNOW, MAYBE
WOULDN’T HAVE MADE IF IT WAS
MODERN-DAY DATING, BUT I THINK
WHAT WAS IMPORTANT WAS I REALLY
STAYED WITH WHO AM I, LISTENED
TO MY HEART, FOLLOWED MY
INSTINCTS AND DID THE BEST THAT
I COULD TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
ALONG THE WAY.
>> Tati: ALL RIGHT.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SEE AS YOUR
QUEST FOR LOVE PLAYS OUT THIS
SEASON?
>> I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE
QUITE A BIT OF PASSION, ROMANCE,
DRAMA.
MOMENTS WHERE I HOPE YOU’RE
LAUGHING JUST AS HARD AS I WAS.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THE SHOW
REALLY HAS IT ALL.
IT’S THAT BRIDGE BETWEEN THE
DATING SHOW THAT YOU TYPICALLY
SEE AND THIS FANTICAL THING THAT
PEOPLE ARE LOVING NOWADAYS.
I THINK IT’S AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY TO
FEEL LIKE THEY CAN BE PART OF
THIS FANTASY WITH ME.
THERE’S A LITTLE BIT FOR
EVERYONE HERE
>> Tati: INDEED.
YOU HAVE YOUR KOHL COURT BACKING
YOU UP.
WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST OF LUCK
IN LOVE, NICOLE.
WE’LL BE WATCHING.
>> AH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT
>> Tati: SO YOU CAN SEE NICOLE
