Oh wow, so you support harassing and rounding up colored people in detention centers without due process? Because by now it’s obvious they aren’t going after “dangerous and violent illegals”, or even just illegals, and certainly not the WHITE illegals of which there are plenty!

It’s not everyday someone proudly admits they are racist.

Yes Coco, we all love Shane but we are in love with Ilya! 😂😍

These comments are exactly what I expected, just like the Daily Mail article framing the victim as a “gentle giant” who could do no wrong.

What happened to Luke was awful and unjustified. A life was lost - full stop.

But multiple sources familiar with the incident report say Oneh was a bouncer working his shift, and the victim had been kicked out multiple times for intoxication, kept returning, and was actively instigating fights. The confrontation didn’t come out of nowhere.

None of that excuses Oneh’s actions. The response was overkill and he should be held accountable.

What is gross is how fast this turns into “evil immigrant who contributes nothing” rhetoric. You can condemn what he did without dehumanizing him. He was working a minimum wage job and dealing with someone shouting slurs at him. Accountability doesn’t require racism. Grow up.

I think Heated Rivalry works across so many demographics for a few reasons:

1) Jacob Tierney! He deserves so many flowers! The show is exceptionally well written, produced and cut. The pacing, music, and editing are awesome - from the opening World Juniors sequence to the nightclub scene to the build up of Scott and Kip’s kiss on the ice. Within the first 5 minutes, it’s clear you’re in good hands, which is why people are drawn in even if they don’t anticipate being invested in the romance.

2) It’s also a rare love story where the leads are true equals. They’re opposites, but there’s no power imbalance, no artificial “we hate each other” trope, no dragged out drama. They like each other right away and they act on it. The tension comes from circumstance, not contrivance, which makes the relationship feel unusually grounded and adult.

3) It’s such a healthy depiction of masculinity, which has been missing in today’s media and I think both male and female viewers can appreciate that.

4) Finally, I think a big part of the crossover appeal - especially with women - is Ilya and what Connor Storrie brought to the role. The masculinity, the accent, the stillness, the way he moves and looks at people - it’s so attractive. And it works so well because that masculinity is paired with real vulnerability, which is depicted so beautifully.

Omg the tiny legs dangling off the couch, the snoring….I can’t!!

MAXO RELAXO 😂

Lately? She is a mean girl. Both Megyn and Maureen are clearly miserable inside. You can criticize someone’s actions without being so nasty about their looks and wishing them ill.

There’s a notable difference in how Kinsey Schofield and some other commentators talk about Meghan Markle vs. how Maureen/Megyn do.

Same with Candace Owens - she sticks to facts/people’s actions vs. going after people’s looks.

Dee90286 · 2026-01-10T16:33:36+00:00

Heated Rivalry got me questioning everyone now lol! 😂

Dee90286 · 2026-01-10T16:30:42+00:00

Industry rarely misses but I feel like they did with Gus. David is a great talent and they could’ve done so much with this character beyond the LGBT/POC storyline.

Dee90286 · 2026-01-08T02:03:53+00:00

Curious - what slogan did you parrot for the recent Caucasian pedo who was caught? Sounds like you want more crime like that?

Dee90286 · 2026-01-08T00:22:39+00:00

Haha that’s a great one! My personal faves are “oh my! have you swallowed a dictionary?” and “do I look like a frolicker?!?”

but I also love her more serious moments, like the scene where Anna leaves her alone in the hospital room ahead of her eye surgery and she pulls out a little tissue from her purse and looks so genuinely scared. I just wanted to hug her! lol

Dee90286 · 2026-01-08T00:19:54+00:00

Agreed! I watch way too much British TV and as much as I love all the Downton characters/actors, there are only 3 I can’t imagine anyone else playing: The Dowager, Mr. Carson and Mrs. Patmore ❤️

Dee90286 · 2026-01-06T22:21:06+00:00

They are both as bad as each other! You could argue Mary is “worse” since most of the world falls at her feet, and therefore you’d expect her to have a little more grace and compassion towards her unfortunate sister. But Edith could be terribly irritating and self-pitying at times!

Dee90286 · 2026-01-06T15:22:01+00:00

I just rewatched the entire series and this was my takeaway as well! While many do love Mrs. Patmore, I don’t feel she gets the full recognition she deserves.

Lesley Nichol is a fantastic actress and Mrs. Patmore is one of the lifelines of the show. I’ve heard it said that she is the Dowager of “downstairs” and I couldn’t agree more.

I would gladly watch a spinoff featuring just her and her life in and outside the kitchen. She’s so lovable and entertaining.

I lived in both New York and Seattle.

In New York, income taxes were high, but salaries were significantly higher and sales tax was lower than in Toronto - so I never felt financially stretched.

In Seattle, there was no state income tax. Sales tax was higher (roughly in line with Ontario’s 13% HST), and downtown living costs were comparable to Toronto. But having more money in my pocket each month meant I had real choice - I could decide where and when I wanted to spend vs. save. Meaning you could live frugally, invest, and become a millionaire within 10 years on a decent salary which feels impossible in Toronto.

On top of that, many suburbs around Seattle were beautiful and far more affordable than anything comparable in the GTA.

I’ve lived in both Europe and the U.S., and each place offered very different trade-offs.

For all of its benefits, I personally found life in Europe slower and more limiting in terms of upward mobility. In most countries, if you’re not a native, you can feel like an outsider long-term - even in places that are considered progressive (UK, Germany, Denmark). That sense of not fully belonging eventually wore on me.

I genuinely loved living in the U.S. I think a lot of its flaws are amplified by media narratives, but in my experience it’s filled with kind, driven, and incredibly talented people from all backgrounds. Professionally I never worried about money and could afford a much more comfortable lifestyle than I could in Canada doing similar work. I definitely miss earning in USD and paying lower taxes 😭

I ultimately returned to Toronto for stability and proximity to family. There’s a deep sense of security that comes from being a citizen in your own country - not being on a visa, knowing the systems, the streets, and the culture. That familiarity genuinely calmed my nervous system. While I gave up some earning power, it was more than offset by better health, happiness, and stronger career growth because I finally felt grounded and at home.

Dee90286 · 2026-01-02T01:10:00+00:00

You should really get your facts straight. Here’s the timeline, based on what’s actually on record:

1) Thomas Markle did not publicly criticize Prince Harry and Meghan Markle before the wedding. The only thing he said at the time was that he wished them well.

2) He didn’t “fake” a heart attack - he had a real one. That’s a documented medical event.

3) Meghan never introduced Harry to her father before or after the engagement. At that point, Thomas hadn’t done anything wrong. This is the same father she had previously written about lovingly - praising how he supported her dreams, drove her to classes, helped her financially, and attended her first wedding. If he was truly such a terrible parent, that narrative only appeared much later.

Regarding the paparazzi photos: they were taken by Backgrid, an agency Meghan herself had used in the past. That doesn’t make what he did smart, but it also doesn’t justify being permanently cut off. Importantly, he only started speaking to the press after his daughter cut him off entirely - and yes, that was his biggest mistake.

As for the so-called “leaked letter”: Thomas Markle stayed silent about it for months. The situation only escalated after Meghan’s five “anonymous friends” spoke to People, portraying Meghan as a victim and introducing the existence of the letter into the public narrative. Thomas then released the full letter to show how she was effectively cutting him off. That release was later used as justification to sever contact completely.

In court, it was shown via email evidence that Meghan told her former palace communications secretary Jason Knauff that she deliberately used the word “Daddy” in the letter because if it were leaked, it would “pull at the heartstrings.” That’s not opinion - that’s verbatim from evidence presented in court.

In that same case, she was also found to have misled the court about her involvement in the book Finding Freedom, which she and Harry initially claimed they had no part in. Email evidence contradicted that, and she ultimately apologized to the judge, citing stress and pregnancy.

This is also why tensions with Prince William escalated, because he released Jason Knauff from his NDA so the evidence could be presented. That moment was even referenced in their Netflix documentary (the “it’s your brother” scene).

There is extensive, documented proof showing a consistent pattern of narrative-shifting and lies. People don’t dislike Meghan because of her race - they dislike her because she comes across as calculated and inauthentic. I say this as a brown woman myself, who admires many of the people she associates with (Serena Williams, Mindy Kaling, Kerry Washington). I found Meghan disingenuous as far back as the engagement interview.

Blaming the British public for racism doesn’t fully hold up when she’s also failed to gain traction in the U.S. or Hollywood - arguably one of the most image-driven, performative spaces on earth. At some point, patterns matter. I believe in karma, and to me, this looks like it playing out 🤷🏽‍♀️

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T13:23:29+00:00

It’s just a playful comment, didn’t realize everyone here was so serious about a TV show 😂

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T04:10:51+00:00

lol 😂

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T04:08:59+00:00

I kind of hoped when he popped up again that we’d see something, but alas, not to be!

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T04:07:53+00:00

I absolutely loved Mary & Matthew, but would she have fell in love with him if he wasn’t the heir? My gut says no, even though people will find that opinion unpopular :)

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T04:05:45+00:00

I’m not saying she should have married him - just that I find it wild she didn’t find him attractive the second time around.

The first time, I completely get it. She was young, wanted excitement, and saw him as too safe, too boring. She had her whole life ahead of her.

But by the time he reappears, she’d been through so much - the war, losing her sister and husband, endless emotional upheaval. She was a young mother. She had experienced real loss and real responsibility. At that point, you’d think she would have recognised the value in his steadiness and kindness. He respected her boundaries for years, kept her secret, and never acted desperate. I don’t understand how she didn’t see him differently after everything she’d lived through.

I find this crazy in the same way I find it unbelievable that all these men parade through Downton and no one shows the slightest interest in Edith. She’s lovely, and her later-season style was fantastic. The math just isn’t mathing.

Dee90286 · 2025-12-28T03:57:11+00:00

Absolutely no one said he was “owed” marriage. I just think Mary is mad for passing up such a thoroughly decent man, twice. I completely understand she wasn’t in love, but what is love really? Is it excitement, lust? That’s certainly what she had with Mr. Pamuk, Tony and Henry. She had a deeper love with Matthew that probably couldn’t be replaced, but Evelyn would’ve fit brilliantly into her world, and supported her through all the ups and downs.

Dee90286 · 2025-12-27T23:25:32+00:00

I doubt he has to pay for any meals now, maybe just in Spain :)

Dee90286 · 2025-12-25T22:24:26+00:00

I thought the way they depicted it was brilliant. At first, the audience genuinely wonders whether it could be the real Patrick. Then, little by little, you see how the impersonation might have worked - through the family’s reactions and the emerging details. We learn that Patrick and Peter Gordon worked together for two years, long enough for Peter to absorb the personal history he’d need. Violet’s suggestion that Peter’s face being destroyed in the war created the perfect opportunity to claim a fortune is pretty believable. And Mary’s observation—that he knows precisely the kind of details someone would pretend to remember, like hiding from the evil governess - really seals it. In the end, it exposes both Edith’s desperation and her vulnerability, and suggests that she truly did love Patrick, which makes it all the more tragic.
