This week, we are joined by the one and only Chala Hunter, intimacy coordinator and future Order of Canada winner (probably...we don't know...but if it were up to us...). We sat down with Chala to chat intimacy coordination, the importance of communication, and how jazz helps her relax. Safe to say, our week was MADE.

Ruby and Ada discuss the thing that's been most talked about...yes, we're talking about all those intimate moments in season 1! How do they compare to the book and what do they mean? We've never dissected sex so intently - Ruby even built a spreadsheet!

This week, we chat with Jenna Rosenstein - Beauty Director at Harper's BAZAAR and author of one of our favorite Hudson articles. We talk about how that interview came about, her take on the absolutely wild run that Heated Rivalry's seen so far, and her most surprising moments. Plus, we talk about our romance favorites and, of course, grab some beauty tips while we're at it.

Ruby and Ada talk SKIP! Ruby breaks down Episode 3 as a standard (in the best way) romcom. We talk about the story beats that make this episode so fantastic, the way lighting CONTINUES to be the hero of this series, and how a smoothie needs to be thick in order to be considered a smoothie (sorry…we still love you, Kip!)

Ruby and Ada FINALLY discuss episodes 1 and 2 aka where it all began. We talk intimacy and trusting Jacob Tierney. We talk about a romance trope that should be inserted in all literature. And we invent the Butt-in-Face-O-Gram. Are you curious?

We made it to the cottage, y'all! Ruby and Ada officially give this episode a GOOGOLPLEX (that's way more than 10/10). We talk cinematography! We talk loons and how creepy they actually are! We talk ROMANCE - because, after all, that is the story!

Ruby and Ada barely survived episode 5. But the show must go on. Here's the in depth analysis of the most magical 55 minutes of television we have both seen in forever. There are laughs! There are tears! There's a LOT OF LOVE for the people involved in making this show. Good job, we love you!

Where we talk about Episode 4 of "Heated Rivalry" Season 1: Rose. Also, Ada talks about her favorite parts of the show (it gets pretentious) and Ruby gives us the rundown of her in-real-time reactions to watching. PLUS, this is our first episode! Come for the analysis, stay for the unhinged laughs.
