Her poise, he facial expressions, her voice. She fit the role of Kate Sharma, a strong and intelligent woman. (Who will be able to handle the Bridgerton household)

[ReviewBoard-uynv]

Was even better than season 1! She was a revelation! The chemistry was visceral

[lovesoundification]

Why does it sound like the hosts are yelling, whilst Simone is so beautifully and softly spoken!

[flourchylde]

She is stunning and has an incredible voice. She and Jonathan Bailey made this season even better than the first.

[Cherryblossom-mhxu]

This was so chaotic omg. Let the girl finish her sentence! That being said. She looks stunning and did an amazing job! So did Charitra + Johnny

[kittensgregorio]

Let her speak for goodness sakes! I love how poised she is on this barrage of an interview.

[rubylee]

Wow so stressed watching this interview 😅 Simone did so well balancing the energy on this segment. PHEW 😮‍💨

[weegancupcake]

Jesus, let her answer the question… they are so excited that they keep interrupting Simone. Let. Her. Finish

[susangray]

Just finished season 2!!! Love it more than season 1. Absolutely love and adore Anthony and Kate’s storyline.

[sonya.soulsnackbowl]

She brought value to the show. She deserved it. The way the hosts are speaking is as though she won a lottery of sorts by landing the role.

[PoojaDutt]

Loved season 2! 😍 Simone Ashley was perfectly cast - I love the diversity on set as well. Binged the entire season.

[ray-vanralte]

I’ve already watched it twice already, I enjoy the season more and more.

[rayrebel]

She’s so pretty and talented. Congrats 🎉

[blankiki]

This woman is so beautiful. I haven’t watched season 2, but she’s gorgeous and poised and so elegant.

[ringlass]

It’s clear they have not done any research about this series (asking her if they’re still filming when they whole season is dropping the next day). And they also constantly talk over her.

[Windyielder]

I loved her as Kate. Loved season 2 and the chemistry.

[HappyLifewithMaria]

I like her personality! So interested to see what they do in season 2! Plus she is absolutely gorgeous

[CookingWithCarlina]

I don’t like that they keep interrupting Simone as she’s trying to talk. This is why I’m getting into hosting to give talent the respect they deserve.

[cgill]

She is just so stunning! Couldn’t stop looking at her throughout the show 😍💜💜💜

[MsBeeNice]

Why do the interviewers keep interrupting one another to ask questions? It gave me whiplash and felt sorry for Simone but she stayed very graceful...
