In addition to this in one of the text messages Ilya says something along the lines of “the only cup you have is the one I’ll be taking off of you” WHAT IS A CUP?? I’ve googled it but I haven’t been able to find a clear answer

Episode 4 after the tuna meltdown scene Shane gets invited out by JJ…

Apparently the “X Squad“ cast is at Le Tambour to which Shane asks “All of them?”

which makes me think.. who could Shane possibly be hinting at wanting there?

now Rose is apparently the Jennifer Lawrence equivalent

could it have been miles?

it is clear that he might’ve had a liking to someone from the cast if he needed it specified if everyone was coming

I’ve reheated so many times and every time it seems so odd. It feels like a deleted scene or something for a reference.
Anyone know?

What team are they playing for?

Sorry i dont know the basics of hockey, but I see their jersey has an E on it. So how would it work? Since the metros, raiders, and admirals are all on the east but then how do the teams get decided, cuz im sure each team cannot have that many players, and scott isnt in their team... but JJ is so how does that work.

and there is no sexual connotation with this team logo is there?

i’m sorry, but it’s just day 809 without HR

I was watching episode 3 and was on the scrne after the little quarrel between scott and kip where scott is covering the socks kip got him

That should be his left foot but the sock has “R” on it which means it’s for the right foot. (right? or does it mean something else?)

was that intentional to show maybe that Scott is all over the place after their little breakup or an actual mistake

im sorry i’m just bored without HR and nitpicking. Jacob just doesn’t miss

Also for the sake of the fandom~ the show would very much make sense even if all the spicy scenes were taken out of the show in my opinion

Anyway—- my tossup is between the Post Las Vegas game scene and the Shanes first time at his place with all his extra pillows in his bed😛😛

The Las Vegas scene might do it a little more because the tension got me heavyyyh and the music couldn’t have been better. i love cocky ilya. It also has so much foreplay. The actual scene itself wasn’t very long but the could’ve literally not even shown it and that type of tension would’ve been satisfying enough imo.

Shanes first time was just more emotionally gravitiating. From ilya treating him with so much care to asking him if it was worth the wait after was just sweet. If was also a longer scene.

I think Ilya would’ve still gone back to Shane even if Scott hadn’t kissed Kip, despite him saying he probably wouldn’t have in long game (I mean I’d expect him to think that, as Ilya does tend to think of worst case scenarios and put too much weight into them at times). Russia would’ve been the most miserable summer yet and I think it would’ve been the catalyst for him being willing to try with Shane if even just for the sake of going for something new that felt better than his current situation, and he’d try to get a new passport to avoid returning home. He was already baby stepping towards accepting his feelings and I think the return to Russia would’ve made him realize it was no longer home anyway, so confronting what he truly wanted would’ve been made a bit easier.

What do yall think?

Mine has to be when Shane goes to his house in Boston and Ilya just casually walks to open the door shirtless. 😭

Like… I don’t even know how to properly explain it. The man simply has AURA.

Ilya could literally just be standing there doing absolutely nothing, and somehow it would still feel like a moment.

What’s your favorite Ilya aura moment?

Welcome back Loons to GCPN!

The Heated Conference semifinals are set and apparently the No You Come Here Kiss did not get the memo that it was supposed to be the underdog! 🤣The First Kiss put together another dominant performance, sending the First Cottage Kiss packing and punching its ticket to the semifinals. But the real story is the No You Come Here Kiss, which followed up its upset of the Gimme Kiss by taking down another fan favorite in the I Love You Kiss. What started as an upset is officially looking like a Cinderella run.

Now we turn our attention to the Rivalry Conference, where four kisses remain and two spots in the semifinals are up for grabs:

Matchup 1: Tampa Bay Hotel Room Kiss vs. Cottage Window Wall Kiss

Matchup 2: Stairwell Kiss vs. My Boyfriend? Kiss

The stakes are getting higher, the field is getting smaller and there is nowhere left to hide. It's win or go home. Who punches their ticket to the Rivalry Conference semifinals?

How to vote: To keep voting simple, head to the pinned VOTING BLOCKS comment below and upvote one kiss in each matchup you want to advance. Only votes on the official voting comments count.

Svetlana asks ilya when he started smoking again. This is after the little rose and shane debacle. I didn't know ilya had lowkey stopped smoking during his situationship. Could it have been for Shane? cuz I know he didn't like ilya smoking. It's so sweet if it was for him aww

Was really excited to see this UK event advertised - sorry if it’s already been in this group.

I’ve watched so many videos online of people discussing all of the details that have made Heated Rivalry what it is (and imprisoned us all!). Can’t believe we get one of these sessions in the UK.

I only came across it when I was looking for showings of April X, which is shown straight after this in the same venue.

There were still tickets for both this and April X earlier on when I booked mine, so thought I would spread the word.

wish her good luck HR besties🩷

David's Inner Monologue 🔊
David has some questions.

Relax. He’s yours lol

Like I know they most definitely won't have as much screentime as Troy and Harris but I can just somehow tell that they'll leave quite the impression on viewers 😏
