I'm coming to the cottage — and so is The Finale Pod! We are discussing Lauren's pick: the Season 1 finale of Heated Rivalry. Shane and Ilya finally get their two uninterrupted weeks at an Ottawa "cottage" (a mansion on the lake, to be clear), complete with eight very precisely grilled burgers, a loon with truly terrible timing, and Shane's dad stopping by to grab a phone charger at the absolute worst possible moment. Don't forget to leave a comment on our Instagram @thefinalepod and share your thoughts on Heated Rivalry!

We start our recap discussion at the 26:40 mark if you want to fast forward past our TV news catch-up, our Love It Lately recs, and the Icebreaker Intermission about who we'd choose to be locked in a remote cottage with for two blissful, uninterrupted weeks.

The overall TFP rating for the Season 1 finale of Heated Rivalry is 8.40.
