Texts showed Dan Powers calling Heated Rivalry "trash," saying it "checks inclusivity boxes," and labeling its makers "losers" and "cowards" despite public praise. Dan and his brother Chris built a new fanbase with enthusiastic recap episodes and sold Heated Rivalry-themed merch. A set of texts appeared to contradict their public enthusiasm. Dan posted a 17-minute video titled "Here Are the Texts," calling the coverage "super-disappointing" and disputing the timeline. He said the texts were sent December 2 before they had watched the show, came after only ten minutes of viewing, and that the hosts later "grew to love it."
