I am a huge Big Brother fan, and you cannot imagine my happiness when I found this clip of one my favorite contestants (Melody) telling her friends in the house they had to watch Heated Rivalry because she's seen it four times.

Note: the guy in the black tank top and the Loon girl (Melody and Drew) were in a flirtmance all summer and now are dating post-season and this clip shows why. He knew his Heated Rivalry lore!

Drew when he left the house also liked the Yash Drew Heated Rivalry tiktok.

That's it, that's the whole post.

EDIT: found this amazing edit of Big Brother to "My Moon My Man." The similarities continue!

What’s up with the girl in red in season one, episode five? She’s in the background at the bar and again in the background at the pool. She’s in bright red in both scenes and very distinctive.

She’s clearly there deliberately — her look is the same in both scenes and she is clearly there to draw attention — so I read her as symbolic. What do y’all think she symbolizes?

Ilya’s back is to her both times — perhaps it symbolizes that the kinds of hot women who used to attract him no longer do because he has fallen in love?

Which quote is your ultimate favorite?

such a pleasure to be with other fans and watch Rachel talk about her beloved series! 💕

I wrote a long post with a photo but I can't seem to post it. So here it is, as text. McClean's magazine is running an article called the Canadian Club in their November issue. It is the Canadian top 50 TV shows, books, albums, films of the century. The cover is awesome. I love that Shane and Ilya are kissing. There's Anna Lamb who won CSA alongside Hudson. Matt Johnson and Jay Carroll from Nirvana Band the Show the Movie, which Hudson mentioned in his TIFF interview. I can't wait to read it. I think it's going to give us plenty of CanCon to keep us going until April. You can see the post on IG mccleansmag

Konnichiwa! The TV series and translated novels have been out in Japan for a while now and from the start I’ve been curious about their reception there, given the deep roots of BL culture and Shane being half Japanese and thus giving Japanese fans an extra point of interest/identification.

Let us know what you thought! Have you started reheating? Are you going to make or look for BL manga style fan art? Arigato gozaimasu!

I love this rubber ducky bobblehead, but to be a perfect Ilya airport figurine it definitely needed headphones. So I made him a pair. My first attempt with modeling clay.

• 1 quote per comment (to more easily tell which wins).
• If a quote is commented more than once, the comment with the highest number of upvotes will be the one counted, so if "Stupid Canadian wolf bird" gets posted seven times and one comment has 24 upvotes, one 5, and the rest 1, it would get 24 upvotes for the game.

I will try to post at different times throughout the day to hopefully hit everyone's availability.
