Why Ilya Rozanov CAN'T RESIST a bad idea, and why we DON'T WANT him to...

Hi! (@lilloworldwide everywhere) and I'm so grateful you joined me for another ramble (in addition to the ones I do co-hosting @l‪@letmestayfocused‬!) Today we're discussing how ‪@CraveCanada‬Heated Rivalry has got me in a tizzy, and I have to close the loop on this if I ever want to be free of rewatching! In this video we discuss Ilya Rozanov, his reputation for liking trouble, and his journey with his ideas surrounding Shane Hollander (including his emotional development, their communication issues, and his language barrier) in season 1 of Heated Rivalry and the book itself. It is easy to see that the more Ilya realized that his ideas surrounding Shane may imply that they were more than a bad idea, the more he was able to be himself, accept his emotions, and decide he likes a good idea for once. And that he was capable of good ideas all along... and maybe just made to believe he wasn't.
