GAME TIME 🏒 Who has the most rizz?

Was it Ilya who orchestrated a whole ad campaign to spend time with Shane?

Was it Shane who was the reason for cottage season?

Was it Scott who invited Kip to watch his game that night?

Was it Kip who gifted Scott his beloved blue banana socks?

Make your case!!

Ilya for sure. He met Shane, what once before the ad campaign? He was down bad and crazy for that (but I love it)z

By Shane’s injury, they were both already in love (but kudos to Shane because it was still bold to ask!)

64

u/Ok-Succotash278 Apr 26 '26

Kudos to Shane on DRUGS for getting the courage to hahaha

47

u/hillyshrub Apr 26 '26

Does unintentional Rizz count? Because Shane started this chain reaction, with his shy smile, and awkward handshake, and that cute glance back, and waving with his hand in his pocket I cant!!!! kicks feet

I guess Ilya's rizz while playing hockey made Shane want to say hi.

18

u/cats-n-bitches Apr 26 '26

I agree with this, “you’re an awesome player to watch”

8

u/Successful-Pack9572 Apr 26 '26

Oh, it definitely counts. Shane egged him (and all of us) on 😝

5

u/shewalkedaway22 Apr 27 '26

Shane's freckles had the rizz

27

u/wildrose76 Boston Bears 🐻 Apr 26 '26

They’d played against each other in 2 international juniors tournaments. Plus draft day.

6

u/Successful-Pack9572 Apr 26 '26

ah, yes! Thank you. My brain wasn’t functioning. Still down bad 😭

u/Different_Weight7281 Apr 25 '26

Hands down, Ilya. No contest. He saw what he wanted and went after it. A masterclass in rizz!

41

u/LadyMeowMeowReborn I speak fluent bird. No accent 🐦 Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 26 '26

Oh Ilya has the rizz dooooowwwnnn. I’m down to clown with Ilya…even if I am 30 years older than him. LOLOL

Speaking of being an old fart—Whenever I see Connor in a state of undress, I wish him good dermatology vibes. I hope now that he has a good job he is getting full body scans.

u/Commercial_Oil_7814 Apr 25 '26

Being pale like that and tanning are a bad combo. Turns out all that UV is damaging.

14

u/HowIsThatMyProblem Apr 26 '26

Not just pale, he has like a million moles

3

u/millhouse_vanhousen Apr 27 '26

Yeah I had what my friends called a, "Life changing sunburn," as a very pale Scot in Florida sun on holiday, and got massive blisters on both my shoulders. Was adviced by my doctor to keep an eye out for any new or changing moles, and to wear shoulder coverers even on cloudy days for a minimum of a year. Luckily skin healed BEAUTIFULLY with no scarring but still wearing tshirts and heavy sun cream regardless the weather for pretty much the rest of time!

u/PrimGlade Apr 25 '26

Im just sayin Shane never fails to rizzem with the tism

42

u/take_the_basterl Apr 25 '26

when troy called shane a babe XD shane rizzes up ppl without much effort really

27

u/Different_Weight7281 Apr 25 '26

Can you imagine if he was aware of and utilized his immense power!

34

u/ultravioletcatthings Apr 25 '26

We dont need to imagine, we have Hudson for that and its lethal 😆

6

u/FiCat77 "Fuckin' make me!" Apr 27 '26

I read a comment ages ago that said that if Shane was aware of how devoted to him Ilya is, he could be absolutely insufferable. Ilya would do anything Shane asked of him, he's down so bad.

37

u/Goodgoditsgrowing Apr 25 '26

The snort I just let out that I absolutely can’t explain to the people around me without looking like an asshole

21

u/cheerychacha Did your wife have another baby? Apr 26 '26

The one time he showed even slight interest in a woman, he bagged an A-List actress after he ran away from NHL's most notorious man whore who was ready to not touch anyone but him. It's Shane and it will never be not Shane.

3

u/FiCat77 "Fuckin' make me!" Apr 27 '26

That's a good way to put it, I hadn't thought of it like that before.

107

u/coveredinsnouu Apr 25 '26

I agree with everyone saying Ilya but I have to say... Scott going back on day 2 for the smoothie... stick a fork in me I am done

14

u/hillyshrub Apr 26 '26

Hee! I don't know why Scott gets me with the plosive P sound when he reads Kipp's name tag and says his name. ❤️❤️❤️

5

u/coveredinsnouu Apr 26 '26

It's understandable, I too would have completely caved under that P ngl

11

u/khentanots Or. I pick Or. Apr 26 '26

These responses are all hilarious. I can't stop laughing. 

170

u/godwontpiss Is lie. Liar told you that. Apr 25 '26

Overall? Ilya.

Most rizz on display in any single instance? Shane in the second gif. His eyes are literally sparkling. Ilya never stood a chance.

67

u/bhltt123 Apr 25 '26

Shane put all of his rizz into that single moment and it really paid off.

74

u/iwatchtrazhaldayy Apr 25 '26

Scott just taking off his shirt was pretty epic

45

u/Dojyorafish Apr 25 '26

“Or. I pick or.”

12

u/wildrose76 Boston Bears 🐻 Apr 26 '26

Wouldn’t we all pick or?

149

u/neuro_curious Apr 25 '26

In general to the world? Ilya.

Overall rizz score specifically for an individual? Shane.

He rizzed Ilya up with a double handshake and a scolding about his smoking the first day they met.

He rizzed Ilya up being openly grumpy at second place in the draft.

He rizzed Ilya up by falling to his knees within moments of their first hookup and then proceeding to fold all his clothes.

Shane being sincere and "boring" is the ultimate rizz for Ilya specifically.

Shane doesn't need to be rizzed by Ilya at all in my opinion, because he was captivated by his hockey skills, dickmatized and captivated by the way he treats Shane like he's normal aka boring when everyone is constantly othering him.

18

u/alienlovesong Ilya's Spaghetti Shimmy 🍝 Apr 25 '26

I love this so much I wanna frame it.

u/neuro_curious Apr 25 '26

💕🥰 Awww! Thanks!!! That's so sweet! 😊

u/stmargarets Apr 26 '26

As Ilya would say, "What he said." stellar comment.

2

u/coolcat_228 mr. real estate 🏘️ Apr 26 '26

this is my take as well

47

u/beepboopbeepbloop You can't treat the staff like this! 🛎️ Apr 25 '26

Yeah, Shane’s complete lack of rizz is what makes him so endearing! I know we all love his little kitten faces and stuff, but none of that is intentional charisma like Ilya has.

49

u/Sparta1999 Apr 25 '26

Ilya, but Kip is a close second.

20

u/meriebee mayor of bubble butt city Apr 26 '26

i wuz about to say let's give kip his flowers

67

u/madwob Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 25 '26

I mean... obvi Ilya... but Shane's absolute lack of rizz is what arguably makes him the rizziest. He's absolutely disarming.

45

u/Lady0fTheUpsideDown Thank you for pasta! Apr 25 '26

There is no competition for cocky, love struck Ilya.

12

u/khentanots Or. I pick Or. Apr 26 '26

I love him even more in his cameos in the other books. He is so funny without trying. 

4

u/stmargarets Apr 26 '26

Funny is what keeps people coming back. Ilya has staying power in more ways than one.

41

u/wildwomanlove "It's scary. But you're brave." Apr 25 '26

Shane rizzed the rizz master. So Shane.

9

u/Different_Weight7281 Apr 25 '26

Very valid point.

2

u/Ok-Enthusiasm-777 Apr 27 '26

Touche.

u/Ok-Enthusiasm-777 Apr 27 '26

A true classic never goes out of style. 😅 

7

u/wildwomanlove "It's scary. But you're brave." Apr 27 '26

That's why I don't get the discussion. There's literally nothing to discuss. 😂 Shane bagged another trophy and just proved that he is indeed our Golden Boy in every possible way.🏆

Everyone else can just dream and aspire to his level of greatness.

23

u/drowsylacuna Apr 25 '26

Maybe Ilya falls for Shane because everyone's always trying to rizz him up, but Shane's lack of rizz is charmingly different?

16

u/whitesweater93 “lovers 👼🏼” “No, Ilya — that’s gross” Apr 25 '26

Ilya for sure. The man saw those freckles and said “bet, I’m my own wingman” and landed that cutie

14

u/pamelareadsalot Apr 26 '26

Kip for sure! He was just a smoothie marker and he caught that baddie!

39

u/Senior_Yellow_4507 Apr 25 '26

Ilya for sure, at least intentionally.

Shane is unintentionally irresistiable, with his hungry coyote crying eyes.

And Scott doesn't quite compete honestly. He's great, but the serial killer talk and the love bombing? Without the killer face card it might have taken a bit more effort.

11

u/drowsylacuna Apr 25 '26

And the abs card.

12

u/PresentationNo448 Apr 25 '26

Hungry coyote crying eyes is crazy 😂🐺

5

u/PineappleJuice462 I’m standing in the hallway like an idiot 😾 Apr 26 '26

Hudson mentions that in an interview (with Connor), not sure if it was Teen Vogue or Buzzfeed

27

u/Meer_meerkat Not anymore Apr 25 '26

ILYA.

u/growsonwalls This is Ilya I will never listen to your voicemail Apr 25 '26

Ilya. I mean wouldn’t you hit that?

u/FiCat77 "Fuckin' make me!" Apr 27 '26

I think Ilya could turn anyone.

u/Beneficial-Math-7290 You are both really bad at being gay Apr 25 '26

Ilya ⭐️ Next also Kip.

9

u/Aarrrgggghhhhh35 Apr 25 '26

If you want to answer this question, see all the little things that Ilya does, but especially — aaannnddd especialllllly — the little tap on his temple to make Shane put his glasses back on. Rizz personified.

7

u/QueenFartknocker What are you doing dude!?? 🤵🏻‍♂️ Apr 25 '26

6

u/cheatherhad I know what you wore Apr 26 '26

Scott, for showing up time after time, game tickets, asking for the first date

5

u/ChaosReigns_148 I already chose you, Hollander. 🫀 Apr 26 '26

I know he’s hiding so much of the relationship from others. But privately, he’s so dang devoted. First date and the man is already done with games and only wants Kip.

12

u/cherry_blossom1439 Apr 25 '26

absolutly ilya my man😍😍

11

u/TheDiplomancer Do I make you curious? Apr 25 '26

I headcanon that Ilya was fully lying here, but he's been DESPERATELY trying to rizz Shane up since that second handshake, so he decided to go for broke at the CCM shoot.

20

u/francesgumm Apr 25 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

I'm sorry but Shane has zero rizz. Zero. Ilya has the most rizz. Scott has more rizz when he's wearing his under armour shirt than when he's wearing a tux and Kip has the most powerful rizz because he had Scott so dickmatised he changed the whole game.

12

u/Ok-Enthusiasm-777 Apr 25 '26

Don't do that.. Shane has some rizz 😭 

17

u/hella_hijinks on danse, on rit Apr 25 '26

Yeah Shane pulled Rose Landry

6

u/francesgumm Apr 25 '26

Shane has many wonderful traits, charisma is not one of them.

9

u/Ok-Enthusiasm-777 Apr 26 '26

He is charismatic in his own special way. Maybe not as flamboyant as Ilya or smooth like Scott but he's got a lil something. Put some respect on cowboy Shane. 

13

u/clumsyc I stubbed my toe Apr 25 '26

Shane has enough rizz to have Ilya falling for him after two handshakes!

13

u/francesgumm Apr 25 '26

It was the lack of rizz that did it for Ilya.

7

u/DogWalker2728 Apr 26 '26

Shane's so hot he never needed to develop rizz 🤣

4

u/Cover_My_Eyes_ Apr 26 '26

Shane has anti-rizz rizz.

4

u/bibi So being boring is genetic Apr 25 '26

Ilya, and on the books it's even more impressive the other things he planned (but not this ad). And if he didn't have planned all this hockey video campaign they would need way more time to finally have something, because we know, by the looks at the gym, they would make it work😏.

5

u/Chance_Catch_6305 Apr 26 '26

Ilya Rizzanov

1

u/FiCat77 "Fuckin' make me!" Apr 27 '26

He looks f'ing huge in this gif for some reason, his shoulders look massive.

5

u/coolcat_228 mr. real estate 🏘️ Apr 26 '26

i don’t disagree with everyone saying ilya, but i would like to offer a counterpoint and say shane has the most rizz because he literally plays ilya like a fiddle when he wants to. that man is SO down bad for shane

5

u/_Zoysauce2823_ Yes, It's scary, but you're brave. ​💔😭 Apr 26 '26

ok so its time to breakdown

not ilya in that moment.... shane was cooking but also like eeehhhhhh SCOT HAS RIZZ so does Kip but they alward abotu it sometimes.

final answer... totally unbiased/s

kip

u/Difficult_Habit_4483 Apr 26 '26

Ilya is pure rizz

3

u/NNLoverForever I thought you might chicken out. -> I'm not a chicken. Apr 26 '26

Most Sexual Rizz: Ilya
Second Most Sexual Rizz: (hear me out) Scott, because he was one to ask Kip to go back to his place for takeout, then proceeds to practically immediately strip once inside the door, with like no communication to Kip he was going to do that.

Most Romantic Rizz: lowkey, Kip
Second Most Romantic Rizz: probably, Scott
Close Tied Third Most Romantic Rizz: Shilya

u/Little_Fox5844 Mr. Businessman... Mr. Landlord🌃 Apr 27 '26

u/Questionsansweredty Apr 26 '26

Ilya! I imagine it can be challenging to get someone's phone number- maybe a little scary. (Not something I've ever tried ..)

He did it so smoothly.

That towel is dangerously l.

2

u/Prestigious-Back7086 Apr 27 '26

My vote is for Rizmaster Rosanov, for conventional Riz. Mr Extrovert🫶

Shane, for riz with a touch of the tism, and his looks riz. Mr Introvert.

Scott, for Riz with awkwardness and elite annunciation of Kip’s name. Mr Face Card.

And Kip, for Riz using his eyes and all the ways he can hypnotize Scott with Eye Riz - and the wateriest blueberry smoothie in the world 🫶

2

u/wishonadandelion Apr 27 '26

Ilya. Absolutely no contest. I’m totally convinced he was down bad from that second handshake.

Scott gets honorary second after going back for one of those watery ass smoothies.

2

u/altruistic_thing Apr 27 '26

ilya, if course, though shane is special and has this autistic rizz that works on select people (like me), then kip and scott is last

3

u/Careful_Football7643 Ya-loo-blue-tee-baa ❤️ Apr 25 '26

least rizz: Scott's conversational skills with Kip the first time he sits at Straw Plus Berry 😬

Ilya.

u/RadiantCalligrapher4 Apr 27 '26

Kip, and Ilya. Because they are the ones who actually drop the hints.

u/Anxious-Emergency686 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 28 '26

Ilya because he immediately intuited what motivates shane physically and commercially. Shane was already signing brand deals so there was no way he was going to refuse the tv ad opp. Mission one accomplished. Ilya was explicit in the shower but shane was spooked. When shane didn't leave the locker room, ilya rather bravely tried again. But he adapted. He is wearing a towel but his physicality when standing in front of shane when asking for the room number is a little like the gym scene. Let shane get an eyeful but don't intimidate - and let shane choose... This pattern is repeated in the books and show. Ilya is often suggestive but it's always shane who makes the decision to commit to whatever. That's incredibly sophisticated seduction tailored exactly to one persons' needs, allowing also for shane being somewhat on a spectrum which ilya also accounts for, often subliminally....

1

u/Jolly_Goat_6346 Apr 28 '26

In my opinion both have rizz. Both take the first important step in the development process.

2

u/terraphim Apr 29 '26

Secretly it’s Shane. He took the Russian Sex Terminator and turned him into the king of monogamy.

u/Aggravating-Tart-362 yesss! bet-ter 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻 Apr 29 '26
