Speaking of Greg being in the Bureau of Land Management - Tonya telling Belinda in Season 1 that she was going on a date with a guy with BLM and Tonya thinking that it was Black Lives Matter was one of the funnier lines for that season.
When Tonya in this past episode

was talking that maybe she should have just gone into the business of the spa, but then that they were really all crazy in the spa

lol....

It's so obvious the kid is the trainer's son and not Cameron's. Aubrey Plaza says "those are just your kids" and she makes the most obvious face in the world, then cuts back to Aubrey who make the most obvious "oh i got it" face in the world. how is there any debate?

She definitely had a kid with the trainer. She told Aubrey Plaza that her trainer is blonde haired and blue eyed and is very hot/cute. She then says do you want to see a picture and then shows Aubrey a picture of her blond haired and blue eyed kid. And then just says "oops" when Aubrey points out that it was a picture of her kids. Se wanted her to know without coming right out and telling her.

I thought it was kinda a cool way to get the point across.



I thought it was a little odd to be honest. It's one thing to hint to your acquaintance you barely know that you should go get a personal trainer that you can ****… but to basically admit your husbands kids aren't his?? I dunno, just a little weird, but I guess it was more for the audience to show how messed up this perfect appearing husband and wife actually are.


I thought it was super obvious to us that the kids were the trainers. And to me she was deliberately telling Aubrey's character that with her "oops."

I'm not disagreeing with that at all, and I don't think there's much debate

Haven't read the thread or watched anything yet. How does this compare to Season 1?

I thought Season 1 was funnier.

I think Season 2 might be better.

Agree, I really enjoyed Season 1, but it seemed more funny/goofy/cringy with decent drama. It was fun to watch, but wasn't a must see for me. Definitely left me intrigued for Season 2.

Season 2 seems more of a normal drama with several different interwoven plot lines. Drama is much more intense with less comedy/cringe moments, but enough to get me to laugh out loud several times an episode. Just seems deeper and has me much more invested. I head on a podcast that it is probably due to Covid restraints in Season 1. This season they have a lot more to work with and more room to really let loose.

My guess on Tanya.
FWIW, I thought Greg set this all up. Pretty convenient timing that it happened she met those guys when he left. There is a prenup and he talked about her not having a clue what he was up to before he left. And if you really want to get crazy, he's the guy Quentin was in love with, so Greg is using him.
brilliant analysis

I think you might be spot on

maybe Greg was talking with the ghey Brit on the phone?!?!

is that the same english actor who played the King in "Darkest Hour" with Winston Churchill?

He's "Miami" Beach from Bohemian Rhapsody

Also Mia was lamenting her old boyfriend Massimo in very beginning. That has to be the guy Lucia pretends is her pimp.

This really improved after the first episode. It's lacking an Armond quality performance but it's a quality season overall. These hit shows with entire cast turnover never seem to survive. Hope this one does

I like this season for the fact they are focusing less on the staff and more on the actual guests and their interactions. Sure there is a story line but no one hates the manager…

People that go to resorts do so for their insecurities, therefore rarely venture outside the confines.

I'd assume that food at the hotel is part of the hotel package. Then again I'd still have to venture out to find the local restaurants that are good. I mean your in Italy some of the best food in the world.

Along the same lines re: always eating on-site, they've hardly shown any of Albie's family going offsite to "connect with their Sicilian family" (or whatever the reasoning for them being there is). Outside of visiting the place where that Godfather scene was filmed, every scene with all of them together seems to happen at the resort.

Just like the article said, in Season 1 they were confined because of COVID. Filming in 2020, there were constricted. That's why (unless I'm wrong) there was never a scene outside of the resort (except a couple scenes on a boat).

With Season 2 they have ventured out of the resort several times. Palermo. Notto. The Godfather place.

But yes, if you are Cameron, and there is a hooker that you owe money to, why not go out to eat and not continue to eat at the resort??? Lol

Portia mentioned this at one point, although she characterized it as "free," which I took to mean included.

LOL, nothing is free or included at a 5 Star resort like Auberge, Four Seasons or Rosewood which are the quality of resorts the White Lotus is portraying.

Right, this is what I assume. Anything at the hotel can get charged to the room which Tanya is covering, so "free" but not free

ETA: Meals are pretty cheap when you consider a standard room starts at more than $1200 per night.

Also, I went back to watch the first five minutes of episode one from this season again and had forgotten that it was Daphne who had swam out and found the body. I think that with the preview for next week may have given us a confirmation on one of the bodies.

Yes, that was her husband Greg in the picture. Presumably they're getting her to cheat so that it breaks the prenup for him.

This show is like The Love Boat except everyone is massively flawed and headed for tragedy.

It was Greg and the gay "uncle." I'm guessing Greg will give the gay uncle some money for getting him a divorce payout. I think originally the guy hanging around with Portia was supposed to seduce Tanya. But then with Portia around, his role changed to distracting her and they brought in the mafia/drug dealer dude.


Aubrey and Cameron definitely hooked up, at least a little. She has wanted to since he changed in front of her, and her thinking her husband slept with the hookers gives her an excuse.


The preview showed them fighting in the water, but we don't know who kills who. Or is that another misdirection and neither of them die? I don't want to wait another week...
