Of all the batsh*t crazy on this website, from politics to sports to entertainment, the one consistently insane take, that's far and above my favorite, is TexAgs' ability to downplay the attractiveness of some of the hottest women on earth. Be them celebrities or rival school "hotties," the brazen rejection from middle aged dudes and dads, of objective smoke shows, will never not be hilarious to me. The cherry on top, of course, is the go-to "my wife is hotter" boast, which… good for those wives and their husbands' high opinions of them… but those opinions are never not delusional.

Now, Plaza might not be up there with the pinups and the models, but that's part of her attractiveness… the girl-next-door looks, combined with her dead-pan, unpredictable, one-of-a-kind personality, along with that crazy twinkle in her eye.

fwiw, i think she's pretty hot.

but not 'one of the hottest on earth'

i must say my biggest hate of this show is that we never got to see more of this one....

We're ogling broads here...not talking about one-of-a-kind deadpan personalities.

Plaza is hot in general and I don't think anyone would kick her out of bed, but she's not close to the high end of attractive celebrities, much less TV/movie stars, or hell even characters in the first 2 seasons of White Lotus.

Now Sydney Sweeney? Someone say she isn't hot and we're going to have to fight.

No accounting for taste. I take Aubrey over her.

I swear, it completely baffles me sometimes how incapable some here are of reading. I knew there would be people who came back with something along the lines of "Aubrey Plaza is hot, but definitely not one of the hottest women on earth," hence my final, clarifying sentence in which I SPECIFICALLY said as much, yet two of you STILL somehow managed to "Well, actually…" my post.

Sounds like we need a good old fashioned ranking or playoff for the hottest women of White Lotus. Alex Dadarrio is on the top of the list for me.

So what are you clarifying then? Why make this post and take that dig then agree that Plaza isn't what you're making fun of people on here for?

Read. My. Last. Sentence.

I was obviously speaking broadly in the paragraph you quoted.

But yes, regardless, it could be argued that Lucia or Daphne are hotter, and I wouldn't dispute either. Again… hence my final sentence.

Since you edited your post… I'm agreeing that Plaza isn't the hottest on the show, but that's obviously still a huge leap from the absurdity of calling her a "butterface."

I stand by that. I think personality also matters and I've always found Aubrey Plaza really attractive for whatever reason. Her sardonic personality just works for me I suppose.

Just a reminder that White Lotus season 1 - had the 4 greatest assets known to mankind... sharing the screen at the same time. Incredible power move by Mike White

Me too, absolutely. And a big reason why I find her so attractive...


But the Sweens has an incredible set of personalities

Really enjoyed this entire season and thought the finale was generally very well done. One thing I felt was lacking was some kind of confrontation between Tanya and Greg. I know it would have been difficult to pull off given the circumstances but that still feels like a bit of a miss.
I had that thought, as well. Like one of the last scenes could've been a shot of Greg with a disguise on, watching the police take away the bodies wide-eyed wondering how it got screwed up. This makes me think we will certainly see Greg in Season 3.
as I mentioned previously- this was the PERFECT scenario for Greg

he gets the money because Tanya is dead, and all his co-conspirators are dead and can't rat him out.

Sicily didn't do much for me in terms of creating a vacation itch.

Maldives definitely would.


You're crazy. I thought Sicily looked incredible.
not only is Sicily beautiful, but the history and the villages, the people and the references to the Godfather and one other classic movie (the shot in the village where the hot woman thought all the men were looking at her) were all in the show as well.

Going to admit my idiocy here -- I kept seeing people talk about Asia for the next season, and others the Maldives. Thought there were conflicting reports until I realized the Maldives are in Asia.

I've always thought they were in the Mediterranean.

I am dumb.

The problem with all of the investigation talk and why Greg would definitely inherit is that while Tanya was the subject of a murder plot, she actually died via accident. Who is doing an investigation into Greg?

So the Italian government is probably investigating the murders on the boat. Maybe the do finger prints and identify that there are a few prints besides the bodies. Maybe the Captain is still around to talk and he tells what happens. But she still died hitting her head falling off, so case closed. I don't see a scenario where the investigation makes it way back to Portia in the US, and then certainly not Greg.
in a real country in real life,

if you have three bodies with bullet wounds / and one body from a blunt trauma hit to the head and or drowning-

there would STILL BE A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.

Well my children called me dumb because I pronounced it Mal-D(Eye)ves instead of Mal-Deeves.

That's what happens when you only read about it.

I could be wrong but I don't see any way they do the Maldives. While certainly a cool, beautiful place... it's a bunch of tiny ass islands that only have boutique hotels on them. Great for a relaxing vacation, but not so much for a show like this.

Plus it's too similar to season one. I think White is going for distinctly different settings each season... Not to mention he mentioned Eastern religion, which makes me think of Buddhism or Hinduism. The Maldives is Islamic.

I'm guessing it will be Japan, and probably in the mountains where most of the temples are.

I've heard Japan as well.

I also heard a great idea on a podcast for a fourth season set in a snowy, cold weather location. Like a luxury ski resort or something along those lines. Could be a nice change of pace.

Yeah I have been thinking they do a ski resort and they actually have plenty of really amazing ones in Japan. But feels like they'd go more for the likes of the Swiss Alps for that setting

The good news is you don't have to spend the first 2 episodes trying to remember what happened 2 years ago on the show and they're starting the next day.

The Maldives line was a throw-away line made by a character that had context related to their own self-aggrandizing worth. Not sure why folks are assuming this has anything to do with where the next location will be filmed.

Hope its Japan so we get some real Japanese hotties instead of the garbage they rolled out this season for eye candy.

50% is throwaway / misdirection.
50% is critical / foreshadowing.

But you never know which is which.

One of the biggest laughs for me was the exchange between Portia and Albie at the airport.

"What happened with that guy?"

"Oh, he's deranged....and that girl?"

"Yeah, she played me"

"Well, hey...can I get your number?"
