Cute Confessions at the Cottage: A Heated Rivalry Review (E5&6)

The fantastic conclusion of Heated Rivalry has left everyone swooning and feeling butterflies for Shane and Ilya. Your co-hosts Jack Knave and Charlie Darling are back (finally) to discuss the show they've grown to love, and how much they each cried at the finale; spoilers - one of them much more than the other.  As Shane and Ilya finally open up to one another, admitting their feelings are too strong to ignore, a plan to visit Shane's lakeside cottage comes to fruition. Cue the cuteness, as the two boys dare to dream of a future together in some of the most tender and lovely scenes of the entire show.  We are the co-hosts of a brand new LGBTQ+ podcast with new episodes released every Wednesday, although right now we're having a short mid-season break. To tide yo over until Season 2 begins, tune in to our Re-Views of various TV shows. And listen to us wherever you find your podcasts! The whole of Season 1 is sat there just waiting to be listened to, so check it out darlings!

Blueberries, Beards and B-jobbies: A Heated Rivalry Review (E3&4)

Things are getting even hotter on the ice rink with episodes 3 and 4 of Heated Rivalry. Your co-hosts Jack Knave and Charlie Darling are back to share their views on the third and fourth episodes of the series, talking about the cast, chemistry and oh so cringy dialogue! We are introduced to two new protagonists, Scott Hunter and Kip Grady, as they fall for one another over the counter of the quietest smoothie shop in New York. Then we're back with Ilya and Shane in Episode 4 to see how their not-a-relationship is fairing, as some new characters enter the mix (much to Knave's dismay).

Your co-hosts Jack Knave and Charlie Darling are here to share their views on the first two episodes of the series, talking about the cast, quality of representation and the steamy scenes that have got everyone feeling a little hot under their hockey jersey collar. The first two episodes introduce us to our handsome stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov, played by Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, and how a clandestine relationship between the two begins to form as they navigate the world of professional ice hockey.
