The Internet is buzzing over the performances in Episode 5. IMDB rating for the episode is currently at 2nd highest ever for a TV show episode. Connor and Hudson both signed with Creative Artists Agency. Fans are speculating where their fortunes will lead, eg HBOs The White Lotus. The Canadiens showed a Heated Rivalry trailer on their jumbo Tron during Pride Night in Montreal. https://www.reddit.com/r/heatedrivalry/s/Oyfe15o4ck

🙂 I'm glad the Ilya Rozanov drama includes the fallout he could face back in Russia. That's an important piece these days.

Also, would be interesting to ask your straight friend "does it matter?" Alabama Crimson Tide on AL.com (@alabama__ftbl) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Get the inside scoop on Alabama QB Ty Simpson as he readies himself for the big game against Auburn in the Iron Bowl. What...

I said that Dylan O'Brien's performance in Twinless was award caliber (yeah, I'll blow my own horn) and so this week I was happy to see he was nominated for Best Lead Performance at the 2026 Film Independent Spirit Awards for his acclaimed dual role, for playing twins Roman & Rocky. He already won the Special Jury Award for Acting at Sundance, for Twinless. Award shows are an enigma with a lot of bullshit and drama, yet if any of them might cut through the nonsense, it might be this one. Would love to see Twinless win some awards, especially D.O. That said, another of my favorite films with amazing performances was totally shut out by Independent Spirit. At least in my heart I know how good it was.

I won't spoil anything but....... Holy cow, Epi 5 was the best by far. ❤️ Make sure to watch it before someone spills.

🎄🌲🎄Once again I attended Chanticleer's Christmas concert last night. Lovely music. 🌲🎄🌲 Such talent. Beautiful choral sounds. I recommend adding it to your holiday schedule if they come to your area.

Now I shall cancel Netflix.

I earned a nice eGift certificate from one of the large retailers in the States. However, the link I received didn't work. I spent a lot of time on line and on the phone with various support people. Ultimately, one solution offered from their troubleshooting playbook was to try the link using Microsoft Edge. That worked!!

How exciting for them! L

A Single Man is streaming on The Movie Channel. I didn't catch the first part. I'd like to watch it again. I enjoyed the cast and the acting. I haven't read the book, by Christopher Isherwood.

Haven't caught lottery fever, this time. My first inclination wouldn't be hiring a provider. I would find new places to live that I could travel to. Australia, Oregon Coast, Palm Springs, Scotland.

My understanding is fans of the book series are wildly happy about Heated Rivalry. The books must be popular to have spawned the show. M/M romance books are very popular with young women. I expect many of them are voting 10.

There's just something about Hudson Williams. ❤️

At least three bowl eligible teams have decided to forego bowl games, including Notre Dame. Notre Dame specifically cited being snubbed by the college football playoff committee. My opinion, I am not all that interested in watching 5 SEC teams and 3 Big Ten teams complete in the playoffs. Yes those 8 are great teams. I'm just not excited to see more of the same brand that's been on TV week after week, if Notre Dame is not in the mix. Looking at Notre Dame's schedule, they had an impressive year. Alabama just got beat soundly and now has 3 losses. They have already lost to 2 of the 12 playoff teams. Both Miami and Alabama lost to some lower teams. Seems like a farce that both of them are in, and not Notre Dame. ESPN/Disney/ABC has not been doing well financially. They might benefit with 3 Big Ten and 8 SEC teams, yet Notre Dame pulls good rating too. I get it. I'm old school, from the days when you would just throw on a pair of jeans and head to the stadium, perhaps with a bottle of one's favorite adult beverage. There was far less gambling, far less media hype and not so many crazy over reacting fans. But such is the state of sports today. One can search on Google how much revenue and donations some of these schools take in. It's huge. For example, Penn State football just hired Iowa States coach at a salary of $10,000,000. They have the money to do that. Iowa State players voted to skip their bowl game. I don't blame them. To me, knowing how hard the players train all year at schools like Notre Dame and Iowa State, it's demoralizing to lose your coach or get snubbed by the CFP committee. Yup, that's college football these days. I've threatened to switch allegiance to the NFL, and perhaps now I will. Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman, from the NY Times sports page.

👆 According to the Internet, the release date in the States will be in February. The exact date is TBD. This may be a smart strategy, to build momentum away from the US media bubble. If yes, it seems to be working.

SPOILER * * * * I wondered if there might be other closeted players. Hayden and Scott were the possibilities so far. I base that on their interaction with Shane. Yeah, Hayden is married but he hovers around Shane. Maybe he just wants a handsome bro to hang with.

A WWE professional wrestling event, The 2025 Survivor Series: WarGames, drew 46,000 fans tonight, in San Diego at Petco Park. Later, our local news covered the event during their sports segment. Does anyone in this forum watch pro wrestling? May I ask a question? What is the interest in these events? The competition outcome is entirely staged, right? Yet the crowd cheers with excitement. I don't mean to criticize, but I am not sure I understand what draws this much interest. Full disclose, I attended a pro wrestling event at an arena back in Minnesota when I was young. The place was sold out. Yeah, I did not get it then either. I just went along with a friend.

I started epi 2. Will Hollander's mom turn out to be a homophobic, greedy beeotch? Would be more interesting if she was banging one of the Russians. Slutty mom! Secrets!! I appreciate the sex scenes were produced by people that actually know how it works. 😃 Kudos to Crave and HBO. ❤️ From the OUT.COM article.

Does hooking up with a professional rodeo cowboy count? 😗. He was definitely "cowboy" presenting.❤️ The closeted athlete trope is not new, though. The book must have been extra good. Looks like it starts tonight, Heated Rivalry, on HBO Max.

Is the latest trend calling someone other than your mother "mama"? Sort of a sideways term of endearment?😆

You might try interviewing at a few places to see if they seem appealing. I was recently told Iowa City, Iowa is a great place. I wish I had asked why so great. According to the Internet, Iowa has a nursing shortage. Someone that's gay or Asian might find Iowa City welcoming compared to many places. It has a large university and a well known teaching hospital. I assume it is cheaper than New Jersey. University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Saw him years ago in a play in LA. He was so good in his role, and also looked delicious 😋
