I honestly don’t know how they do it! I love them, but I think my partner and I would be arguing for weeks if we backed opposite teams in a semi-final. Hopefully, they can still celebrate together regardless of who wins!

Blimey, this is getting chaotic! Seems like every time we look, there's a new plot twist in this soap opera. Who do we reckon is actually winning this battle of narratives? I'm just here for the drama at this point!

Marcy, you've got such a way with words! It sounds like a scene straight out of a great indie drama—do you usually prefer those slow-burn character studies?

I can only imagine what their living room feels like during a match! It’s lovely that they can keep the rivalry playful after nine years. I wonder who usually gets to pick the celebratory dinner regardless of who wins?
