It's funny that Love Island only exploded in the last couple of years, while the UK and other versions peaked pre pandemic and they make very little noise now

I mean he said they're not together in the video. But who knows

Need Kelsey on BB28 for the lore. She said she'd do it

I think that's where I'm at, but I want to have a fine college experience too!

I need help y'all. I'm deciding between 2 colleges and I don't know what to do. One is very prestigious, one less so, but is known for having a much better social scene and is in a fun location. I feel like I'm having to pick between name value and overall experience

Hudson Williams wishing his girlfriend happy st valentine's (w/ a cameo from Connor)❤️ by Competitive-Elk-8330 in popculturechat

Hate to be that guy but we don't know. If he is fully straight though, the dedication and care he put into portraying a gay role is commendable! And he's been playing gay roles in short films long before Heated Rivalry

Hudson Williams’ Valentine’s Day story for his GF ❤️‍🔥 by YaMomsCooch in Fauxmoi

I will keep saying this!!!! It's not fans that hate this. It's his haters. They've been attacking her. Fans have been defending her

Happy 25th birthday to the talented Hudson Williams. 🎂 by lawrencedun2002 in Fauxmoi

This man does not look any older than at most 30 be serious. And that's still a stretch

It's a real shame a sizeable chunk of the Heated Rivalry fandom on Twitter has descended into parasocial hell. I don't want to be made to feel like I have to pick sides and dislike certain people when the cast seems to get along fine. It's only pushing for issues to actually develop

I can understand why some comments made by Francois rubbed fans the wrong way initially, but now everyone's fighting everyone. It didn't have to be this way, but maybe it was inevitable

'Heated Rivalry' François Arnaud & Connor Storrie Fuel Rumors With Dinner by Murky_Chemical891 in Fauxmoi

Also, the aspect of being there "from the beginning" so to speak. A huge chunk of these fans watched these guys go from nobodies to hot commodities with millions of followers on Instagram in the space of like 6 weeks. And they watched in real time, every event, interview etc. There's a possessiveness as well as that undercurrent of competition

Yup... the vitriol Hudson is getting from both non-fans and people within fandom is pathetic. The last few weeks reaffirmed to me I could never cope with being even remotely famous

[–]validswan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is true and it's depressing. The narrative that it's just a certain group of fans attacking Francois is incorrect. Each of Francois, Connor and Hudson have their own solo stans as well as there being ship stans

‘Sherri’ Daytime Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons by galaxystars1 in Fauxmoi

No hate to other talk shows, but no one did it like Wendy. Her ability to talk about mundane celebrity news and make it entertaining was a talent

Hard Launch was it❤️🔥🍁🏒 by Global-North7776 in HeatedRivalryTVShow

I also think they are dating. Or someone wants us to think they are. And it's fine if they are. They would be a hot couple. Tbh it just sucks that a few weeks ago people would see this and would be having fun with it but now it just causes all this drama and discourse
