I have a big #HeatedRivalry announcement for the romance girlies coming later today. So stay tuned for a surprise!

What I've learned from Heated Rivalry discourse, it's that women are fucking SAD. Like in a bone-deep, trenchfoot-of-the-heart kind of way — there's a hopelessness that has been buried in the backyard of our minds for years, and it feels like the dog just dug it up, so to speak.

This might be a controversial opinion but I really liked how the show looked. It didn’t look cheap to me at all. It was so crisp, clean and well-lit. The wardrobe made sense for the characters. The music felt modern and sexy. I’d be upset if the increase in budget changes things

Heated Rivalry just achieved something no show has managed to do in the last 12 years showsnob.com/heated-rivalry…

Jesse is letting me show him ep 1 of Heated Rivalry. Cross your fingers for meeeee
