I've been despairing of finding people to talk to about it here who feel like I do -- though Antwon appears to be there, too.
...and Heated Rivalry has got me in a CHOKEHOLD. Ah. Choke. Hold!!
Relatable. I was talking to my BFF about it today and joking "I know you know I'm into it, but it's so much worse than you can even guess. I spent all weekend trying to make myself watch Traitors and I just can't do it."
There's no way in HECK I'm going to survive till 2027. I just won't. I know some people are like oh this is the typical show about hot boys having sex but it's so much more than that. With each episode you get so much depth, emotion and you can see them falling in love.
Yep. First of all -- it's not a second screen show. You gotta watch it closely. But secondly, yes, it's all about the performances. They're so subtle and there is SO much going on. The way Connor's eyes scan while he's got that stoic slavic neutral face. The way you see a whole story on Hudson's face while he's processing something. That scene where Ilya is holding the cup and they push in on him -- amazing. It's so good. I feel like it's been years since I've seen anything this rewarding to sink into.
Sidenote: I'm a therapist who only speaks English. Sometimes, I have a client who can't express a certain feeling in English cause its not their native language or they don't know what it means in English. So I tell them to just say it in their own language. In that moment its less about me understand them having a safe place to talk. Shane didn't understand anything llya was saying but he was willing to be his safe place. Shane heard with his heart.
I love that they had him close his eyes and just listen to the feelings. Without the words, he could still witness for Ilya. And I think it meant so much to him to have Shane ask how to say "I wish you were here."
*screams into a pillow*
Again -- relatable.
Alexia can suck it! What a freakin loser, living off his kid brother. Coke head!
*me climbing into the trunk of Shane's car* Lets ALL go to the cottage!🥰

I stayed up until 1 AM christmas night because I could not wait. Just wasn't possible.
