So I was inspired to watch that ep, which I've been meaning to do since meeting Ilya. It catches him pretty well actually. He's abrasive, but it's because he's better than most and knows it. Backstory on that (and this is just for DOOM eyes only) the host is an asshole and none of the others finished their blade in 3 hours in the initial round. They were all given an off camera extension because it would've been a dumb ep if only Ilya cleared round 1. But with the shield, you can see how he totally outclassed his competition. Notably, Ilya was not originally part of the cast. He was BKS's pitch hitter, or cutter actually. He was the best cutter and shooter in the warehouse. He could pull a 100 lb bow with ease, and performed most of the trickier cuts. Cool dude. He wore that vest everywhere. I have some interview material with the BKs guys that I'll publish when the premiere is closer.
