HIDDEN DETAILS & EASTER EGGS
Heated Rivalry is the kind of show where you catch something new every single rewatch. This is some of the "WAIT DID YOU SEE THAT" moment, Easter eggs, and small details in this episode:
Scott Loses His Smile
A very small detail: Scott seems to lose his smile for a split second after Kip mentions watching the game with his dad the year before, as Scott's parents has passed away when he was 12.
No Left Sock, Right Sock
At Straw+berry, Kip asks whether 'left sock, right sock' is one of the superstitious pre-game ritual. And at the end of the episode, Scott wears his right sock on his left foot.
Game Changer Show Wall Art
One of the art pieces at Straw+Berry resembles the background decoration of the Game Changer game show by Dropout. The name Game Changers is the book series that the Heated Rivalry TV show is based on.
TV SHOW vs BOOK DIFFERENCES
Jacob Tierney's adaptation is incredibly faithful to Rachel Reid's books - but faithful doesn't mean identical, and there are some changes that made reading the book alongside watching the show that much more interesting.
Blue Moon Over Brooklyn
In the Game Changer book, Kip’s "Blue Moon Over Brooklyn" smoothie does not contain extra banana, but the show adds it, and also changes the socks Kip gifted to Scott from a blueberry pattern to bananas.
Scott's Hair Colour
In the Game Changer book, Scott Hunter has blond hair. While in the TV show, he has dark/brunette hair.
