Out gay athletes Gus Kenworthy and Robbie Rogers appeared on last week's The Real O'Neals with an important lesson about LGBTs in sports--and, of course, to get in some friendly teasing.
On Tuesday's episode, Kenny (Noah Galvin) subs in on his brother's wrestling team and is considering taking a fall against his opponent. That's when Kenworthy and Rogers appear in the locker room to tell Kenny he shouldn't be a "cliche" and make an effort.
Of course, the two star athletes can't help reading each other just a little. When Rogers talks about winning the MLS Cup, Kenworthy replies, "Nobody knows what that is." And when he talks about his own silver medals, "you know, from Olympics," Rogers helpfully asks, "Oh, were they out of gold that day?"
Ribbing aside, the two inspire Kenny to go out and eventually win the match--although in an unorthodox fashion.

François Arnaud starred in the first two episodes of Heated Rivalry as Scott Hunter — who, despite being the protagonist of book 1, Game Changer, in the series of novels written by Rachel Reid, is mostly a supporting character in the Crave original TV show streaming on HBO Max. Under showrunner Jacob Tierney, the main focus of Heated Rivalry is on the love story between Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie)... except for the third episode, titled "Hunter," that takes a detour to explore Scott's love story with Kip Grady (Robbie G.K.).
