Doesn't do a thing for me. Def a great hot/not contestant.
Wrong. Allow me to demonstrate.

A bad hot or not:

After 4 episodes:

Now the character I find the most grating is no longer Tanya, but Albie.

Seriously, this kid sucks. I'm not one of these redpill types, but good God this guy is such a limp beta and he's beyond annoying with this diatribes about the Godfather and pining over a girl he met two days ago.

Kinda hope he's the body in the water.

Albie sucks but he also is one of the most realistic, as sad as that may be. The actor is doing a good cringy beta

Rule #1 of sleeping with hookers - Don't fall in love with the hooker.

Don't know what the first image is, but this actress is weird.

When I first saw her I thought she was deformed and really ugly. The more I watched the better looking I found her. I would never call her hot, but she's attractive in a very unique way.

Totally agree. Sometimes she looks good and other times she looks ugly. I can see both arguments in a hot/not debate.

Are there Vegas odds on who dies? That would be fun.

I can't help but think they'd lose viewers for season 3 if they killed off Tanya. Viewers would be pissed, especially the gheys. Gheys love this show and they love Jennifer Coolidge even more.

Not official Vegas odds, but this guy did a write up handicapping the characters:

I think they'll carry Tonya/Tanya through to next season for television purposes, but there are a lot of hints in the show that she will die.

Someone a few pages back on this thread stated that Mike White has remarked that he wouldn't ever do White Lotus without Jennifer Coolidge in the cast.

Am I the only one who doesn't really like Tanya? She's sometimes OK. And sometimes annoying, and not in a funny way.

Interesting. Good timing? Do people really think the show is that good?

For me it is mildly entertaining, i like some of the scenery and music, its fairly sophisticated storytelling in some ways, but in some ways very menial, and sometimes outsmarts itself.

It is pretty good and i'll keep watching but mainly as it is a middle ground decent show both my wife and i can watch.

Nothing is all that funny, at least this season

No one is all that likeable or hateable or relatable
I know that is part of the point, but still…
only disagree in that Tanya / Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious and an amazing actress.

I do agree that the overall conception and story lines with the heavy ghey overtones is lame and pretty bland.

I enjoy some of the dialogue, some of the acting, and mostly the locations and cultural aspects such as the opera and art.

Yea, I think we all know by now, gay doesn't work for you.

Can't stand the manager.

Tanya has grown a bit on me with the husband gone. And admittedly one of the funniest lines so far was a random one, when she said the beach club guy had the weirdest voice she'd ever heard. Her delivery was perfect.

Tanya is annoying at times but she's the ethos of the show. And what makes it great is you don't have to love her storyline because Mike gives us other things to connect with.

Season 1 gave us a foundation but I'm loving season 2 so much more and I'm sort of shocked to think that.

Season 2 is incredible. I'm much more interested in the Tanya storyline this go around versus last season. Season 1 I found her painfully annoying. This year I'm intrigued.

So was that young Uncle Rico in the B&w photo in the bedroom? I figured he was involved in the Quentin thing.

The trip was Greg's idea. Remember when he said he wanted just the two of them to get away together without Portia around? That's why he was so mad to see Portia there because she's a wrench in the works.
That makes total sense. Almost too much sense at this point LOL. I can really see that theory playing out.

He's gotta be the "cowboy" the gay uncle was talking about, right? And probably who he was talking to on the phone.

Man! Can't wait to see how all this plays out - really getting good.


How in the world did y'all make such a random connection before episode 6?

Are we supposed to infer that Daphne had a kid with the trainer? I heard that on a podcast but didn't pick up on it during the show.


See, my thought was just that she was inferring that she should have kids. I thought there was no trainer until I read this thread.

As for Lucia, I still can't tell if she's running a con or not. My gut says there aren't going to be two completely separate cons in the same show - that we're only supposed to *think* Lucia is running one too - and that her story is actually the one that ends with a happy ending (much like the kid staying in Hawaii last season, except she makes it to LA).


Lucia is definitely trying to con Albie


I'm kind of leaning towards red herring. It's almost too obvious.

so I saw an interview with the entire cast last night on my Youtube feed.

one reason some may not like the way the actor for Ethan portrays the character is that he is NOT American.

shockingly, neither is Cameron.

which makes sense, because American men are awful actors and we have to go to the Commonwealth of England countries to find decent leading men.

anyhoo, it seems the entire cast states that GREG is the worst character and that Albie is the best. so that would lead me to conclude Greg ends up in the Med Sea.

the actor who plays Albie is also a pretty low class idiot.
