Was it really that shocking? I thought it was obvious what they were doing

I thought it was obvious that the "naughty nephew" was in fact, not his nephew

It's a Mike White project...nothing jaw-dropping about it.

My jaw did not drop. I said "Ok..." and hoped the episode didn't end right then.

The Daphne's son "twist" was way more jaw dropping to me

Jaw dropping twist? It was like, the second most common theory being bandied about. Also, it's not much of a "twist" if there aren't serious emotional stakes to it. We have one gay man who's sex life is really of no concern to any of the main characters, and a man having sex with him whose only interest is being a character's sexy fling.

I really do hate headlines like this when its the day after an episode but I haven't watched it yet (am tonight)

The only way this will end up being a twist is if it turns out he’s fucking his actual nephew.

Would have been jaw-dropping for me, had I not hanged out a lot on r/TheWhiteLotusHBO. lol

He should have been banging her husband. Now that would have a been a twist.

especially when its the afternoon after the episode dropped. its only natural that theres the potential to have something spoiled. also, unless youre reading the article you wouldnt even know what the twist is. its just like turn your brain on. smh

Honestly I’m still not convinced it isn’t. After the whole “would you die for beauty” convo and that preview clip where the (“?)nephew(“?) says something about living like it’s your last day, I’m half-expecting them to try to murder my girl Jennifer C as part of some weird, incestuous pagan ritual!

Listen, I predicted called it as soon as he said “I’ve gotta do something for my uncle” and my jaw STILL dropped at the presentation.

But if you really wanna twist your mind up, what if Tanya’s absent husband, Greg, is actually the Wyoming cowboy in the story? And since Quentin will do anything for him , even 30 years later, that’s who was on the phone secretly and maybe he will try to kill her and help Quentin inherit her money.

The thing that made it finally click for me (before the reveal) is that no man posh enough to have an Italian villa and a yacht is going to have a chavvy nephew without some serious explanation occurring as to how his brother/sister ended up marrying far, far below their station.

Talk about a twist - this was the worst Avatar spinoff ever. Mike White is a terrible Iroh.

She talks about how she has this hot trainer with blonde hair and blue eyes who she spends more time with than her husband to cope with his cheating. Then she shows Harper a photo. The photo is of her son, who has blonde hair and blue eyes.

Does that do it for you?

Sometimes just knowing there’s a twist is a spoiler in itself, even if the content isn’t revealed. Twists are meant to be a surprise, kinda ruins it if you know there will be one.

I've been enjoying this season of white lotus but sometimes I feel like they're spoon-feeding me "shocking" twists. Then I talk to other people/look online and understand why they have to make things so obvious lol

I also think Jennifer Coolidge is going to be the one killed the season! I just think it's going to be suicide. She made the one comment about someone leaping off the ledge at the hotel one episode, and I feel like TV writers like to use the Madame butterfly Opera setting as a foreshadowing of a symbolic death to come.

I probably would not have gotten that either just a few years ago but my husband is 2nd generation Scottish American and grew up watching a lot of BBC programming and we’ve been watching it together in the 6 years we’ve been together so I’ve learned a bit more of the cultural nuances than I would have known otherwise

It's a good show, but that was hardly a jaw dropping twist. Jaw dropping would have been Lucia pulling out a cock for Vagina Boy after being with his dad 😆

  1. She says go find a trainer and her's has blonde hair and blue eyes

  2. she shows a picture of the kids who have blonde hair and blue eyes

  3. Cameron(Theo James) clearly doesn't have blonde hair or blue eyes

  4. blonde hair and blue eyes are recessive

  5. go back to High School Biology and Punnett Square that out.

Daphne's kids' Dad is the trainer not Cameron's(Theo James). She is telling Haper(Aubrey Plaza) to go out fuck some other guy to have kids to be happy and let Ethan just be Ethan.

I mean it is obvious like when Glenn died on Walking Dead and people the very next day were going "oh let's fan cast Steven Yeun in Star Wars, DC, Marvel because he has more time on his hands wink wink"

I’m thinking Greg was talking to his kids or someone else non-romantic. He never said “I love you honey” he said “I love you too, can’t wait to see you again”

Except we know there are at least three deaths this time. One in the water and then the hotel manager talks about a “few other bodies” being found shortly after.

Replying to Binksyboo (#742,294)

I thought the “I gotta do something for my uncle” was that he was going to murder Tanya. I thought this whole thing was a set up by her husband. He’s gone for two days and they magically show up and all the motives are there. The husband and her have a prenup but if she dies maybe he gets it all or most. He hires these guys who have to maintain their beautiful villa but don’t want to open it to the public. And that story about the old matriarch on the Italian island not wanting to sell her home or property to investors so she’s murdered was, I thought, foreboding. But whatever… guess I was wrong and they’re just doing it.

Same, but now I see what they're saying. The kids are the trainers, not her husbands. It totally went over my head as well and I thought she was saying to trap him by having kids.

I've found it's best to avoid a shows subreddits while they're actively showing a season. So much better blind and not reading all the speculations. I'll jump back into them after the season is over though. It was honestly r/SeveranceAppleTVPlus and r/OuterRangePrime that finally killed it for me.

I do that for a lot of shows, but I love the discussions too much on the subreddit to not read it while watching live. I need my threads arguing over who's the bigger asshole, Cameron, Ethan or Harper? Plop or Armond?

That twist was fantastic. Super subtle and incredibly revealing about how good she is at compartmentalizing.

Also weird she would share this massive secret with a near stranger! Harper's right, she really must not have a lot of female friends.

no the problem is putting yourself in a position where theres a high likelihood of reading something you dont want to, on a platform that caters to peoples very specific interests, before watching the show or movie you dont want spoiled. were in the age of instant information, yeah it sucks, but thats the reality. people are not going to not talk about something they really wanna talk about just because a random stranger might have something spoiled for them.

To be fair I wouldn't put it beyond the show to pepper hints that not everyone gets on first watch, as well as some false hints since in the end we're not supposed to know who dies. The first season gave us multiple moments where we almost thought one of the local Hawaiians would die, for example.
