Michelangelo SignorileDare I have a White Lotus chat? It’s getting very intriguing and dicey and everyone’s in trouble. Thoughts?
Miamimachos@msignorile only seen first season. Will catch up
@Miamimachos ok then don’t read any of these!
(((JaneinNJ)))@msignorile Oh yeah. So many ominous moments last night—Ethan under water, Portia stuck with whatzisname, everything Tanya has gotten herself into (loved Tom Hollander’s line about her being a vision in salmon)... Tom H’s Western cowboy may indeed be Greg. If so, they’re in cahoots to get Tanya’s $$$. A commenter elsewhere said that it looked like the scales were beginning to fall from Tanya’s eyes and maybe she’ll end up killing Greg! Thoughts?
@JaneinNJ oh wow. I don’t think they’d every have Tanya kill anyone. Unless perhaps she gets away with it. That guy with Portia is trouble
@msignorile They’re all trouble. Not one sympathetic character in the lot.
Josh Tjaden@msignorile, an inordinate amount of screen time with the Italian “hookers” could lead one to believe…💀💀.
I’m in no way connected with the two couples, but maybe save both the wives? Obviously Daphne is safe, but Harper is worth saving from a grisly demise.
Also, I think Tanya will wise up to the High-End Gay™️ and his probable machinations before he can make a move.
One thing that has worn a bit thin for me though is the long, pensive shots of the porcelain busts.
@joshiku ha yes re: the busts!
@msignorile like, we get it the spooky-ooky ghosts of jealous Sicilian lovers are watching.
@joshiku in both seasons they try to create that local scary ghosts of past thing
@msignorile @joshiku I think the local ghosts of the past are there to point up the obtuseness of the characters we’re following!
@msignorile are you watching tonight?
@joshiku yes, wow! Well I alway thought Tanya was be scammed, but I thought someone else would die.
@msignorile her operatic and derpy death was so her
@joshiku oh yes. it was perfect
AngryPlantain@msignorile
The problem with this season is that I am not rooting for anyone to make it out alive.

@Angryplantain we’re you in season one?
@msignorile
Maybe it's nostalgia but me thinks season one characters were a bit less odious 🙍

tikistitch⁷ has movedOMG YES WHO WILL END UP IN A BODY BAG.
@tikistitch maybe that trouble guy with Portia
Portia needs to ditch Mr. Trouble Guy and go help Tanya!
(And also Portia needs to go get a stylist, but that can wait.)
Pushka@msignorile ooohhh what's that!?
Elizabeth Brown@msignorile ooh yes! There were three bodies. I predict they are Portia’s, she knows too much, Jack’s, who spilled the beans and Greg’s.
Schardonnay@msignorile I think her (Coolidge character)hubby who suddenly left set her up 😩😳
@Schardonnay Oh yes, staring me right in the face!
Dudley Saunders@msignorile Can we talk about why power-gay TV writers are using their power to write storylines about “evil gays”? Mike White is an infinitely better writer than Ryan Murphy but still: if they were straight we’d all be outraged.
@dudleysaunders I've thought about that, with both seasons. At the same time, there are few redeeming characters -- the whole point is they're all scamming or stupid or shallow or whatever.
SteveLHW@msignorile Yes! I am dying to discuss. I feel that Cam and Daphne is every gay couple in an open relationship, pretending to be in a monogamous relationship with their straight heteronormative couple friends while dropping subtle/not so subtle hints
@stevelhw So true. Now how do you feel about the evil gays conspiring? I feel like, everyone in the show is either doing bad things, or is stupid or shallow. But some are annoyed at bad gays in both seasons.
@msignorile Are they evil? Evil is a strong word. I mean if I had a villa in Sicily, and a yacht, and a drop dead gorgeous “nephew”’ I suppose that I would want to show those off, but then I am one of those gays who read Life Outside and decided I wanted to go to the White Party 🤷♂️
@stevelhw Well this proved to be more true because they they got Harper & Ethan to open it up to spice up their own sex life.
@msignorile I feel like I need a cigarette (and I don’t smoke) after that season finale of #whitelotus
