Tanya
Tanya is dramatic, demanding, loud, broken, glamorous and annoying. She shares her trauma and emotions with everybody, instantly. That is queer tradition. Probably the most real looking a part of The White Lotus, and in reality any present ever put to air, is {that a} group of homosexual males would grow to be obsessive about Tanya on sight. I, too, would grow to be instantly obsessed. I might see her sobbing loudly at a desk ingesting wine and would need to know all the things about her. She’s kooky and tall in heels and undoubtedly smells wonderful. I don’t know how the evening would go, however I do know it could be memorable, and I might observe her insane whims to the ends of the earth.

Dominic
Dominic needs to be somebody that I’ve completely no real interest in, apart from encouraging him to start out going to remedy six to seven instances per week. He’s a middle-aged sex-addicted philandering heterosexual man who makes his spouse so livid that they wanted to get iconic screamer Laura Dern to be the voice ranting down the telephone at him. And but, he lands right here, in my high 5. That is the best The White Lotus thriller of all. I can’t clarify it. All I can say is that Michael Imperioli has one thing particular. He’s received a bit non so cosa, because the Italians say. Okay, admission: I don’t know if they are saying that, I simply put je ne sais quoi into Google translate and swapped it from French to Italian. The purpose is, he has Italian je ne sais quoi, and I look ahead to the regret-filled and awkward breakfast we share collectively.

Valentina
This can be very troublesome for me to disclose that one of many few queer ladies on the present, Valentina, just isn’t greater on my record. She is gorgeous, she wears unbelievable lesbian fits, she feeds stray kittens, and he or she bosses males round all day. These traits would normally point out the proper girl. Nevertheless, Valentina has been unsettling and inappropriate together with her worker, Isabella, and I’m not impressed. However she’d additionally give me a resort improve, and we’d return to an excellent nicer room – so she’s sixth. However alas, she’s additionally a stupendous and unhappy queer girl – who am I to disclaim the pure and proper endpoint?

Daphne
You may be questioning why I haven’t put Daphne greater. She’s beautiful, humorous and, is a type of ladies you discover most engaging when they’re a bit imply to you, no thought why. Most likely nothing to do with highschool. I sadly carry an unfair private problem into this. Daphne is performed by sensible actor Meghann Fahy. Fahy performed the character Sutton within the television present The Daring Sort, and he or she was great, and I felt loving platonic emotions towards her, which have transferred to Daphne. I additionally really feel pleased with Fahy for getting The White Lotus job and doing such an awesome job, as if we’re real-life mates, which we’re not, in any means. Nonetheless, I’ve an excessive amount of respect to place her on the high or backside of the record, so she is safely right here within the center.

Mia
Don’t yell at me, I do know this appears low. She is clearly very engaging however I don’t suppose she’s a charismatic performer on the piano. I assumed it was genuinely pretty when she [REDACTED] with [REDACTED] within the resort room in episode six, however I favor to not invite somebody to my resort room after I don’t respect their artwork. Sorry!
Beatrice Grannò as Mia.
Jack
Jack was saved from his particular place very close to to the underside of the record by the [EROTIC SPOILER] we noticed in episode 5. Till then, I used to be NOT . I hate his vibe, his unearned confidence, his comically fake-looking tattoos. He simply appears to be like so English. He appeared on display screen as if he’d wandered off the set of Love Island, and I might Like to dwell on an Island if it meant by no means having to work together with anybody like him. However, I’m tolerating him a lot simpler now, and like him extra after the [EROTIC SPOILER]. I’m straightforward to win over, you simply want to have interaction in my particular pursuits.
Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) and Jack (Leo Woodall).
Portia
Lots of people discover Portia annoying, and I completely perceive that, however she can also be annoying in such a practical means that I really feel a passion in direction of her. She is younger and wears ugly bucket hats which are slicing off the circulation to her mind, so she makes dumb selections. It’s advantageous, she’s advantageous, we’ve all been there haven’t we babes? I might invite Portia again to my resort room and he or she would drink all my booze and vomit and cry and I might maintain her hair again and tuck her in after which she would sneak out to hook up with a gross man from Tinder, and I might merely shake my head and smile.

Quentin
Quentin is the one man remaining who I might truly get pleasure from spending time with*. I would like him to perch on my resort room sofa, smoking a cigarette indoors and ingesting costly wine (that tastes the identical to me as Aldi wine), whereas he pokes and prods my life. I would like him to inform me verbose tales whereas I soak all of it up like a sponge. Then we may have a shower collectively.
*except my concern is confirmed and he rips off Tanya, by which case I shall be paying a go to to the Italian mafia.

Bert
From right here on we’re actually within the dregs, that yuck little bit of grainy espresso you drink up as a result of it at the very least has some caffeine in it. Bert is clearly a foul particular person, however I suppose he has a little bit of a spark about him. He can carry a dialog, loves a drink, and will presumably be an excellent grasp if he might simply be regular for a few hours (he can’t). Fortunately, if he will get confused and tries to seize my butt considering he’s on a enterprise journey together with his secretary in 1961, I’ll simply be capable to bodily destroy him.
F. Murray Abraham performs household patriarch Bert Di Grasso.
Greg
Vile, vile, vile man. Terrible little goblin. I would like him punished. I’ll take him to my resort room and torture him for his crimes in opposition to Tanya (by making him hear to each episode of my podcast).

Albie/Cameron
That’s proper, it’s a historic tie for final place! For me, Albie and Cameron are two sides of the identical disgusting coin, and I might reasonably invite a vampire into my room than both of them. It’s like Jason v Freddie, or Cuck v Jerk. Creator Mike White has achieved an awesome job of drawing two distinct portraits of contemporary masculinity and making them each equally unappealing. The actors are good-looking, however the vibes are off. Cameron is smug, entitled, and darkish. He makes my pores and skin crawl. His odiousness is nearer the floor, however camouflaged with confidence and schmooze.
Theo James as Cameron.
On the flip aspect, Albie is quietly spoken, passive, and infrequently says the “proper” factor about social points, conscious of his privilege. He’s younger and a bit naive, however he already offers the vibes of a basic self-proclaimed feminist, an ally. He’s a person who criticises different straight males for his or her behaviour in direction of ladies, whereas (I believe) additionally secretly anticipating intercourse as a reward for being good and saying the precise issues. I’m not going to say I want these two males lifeless, however I do maintain out some hope I’ll quickly have a purpose to not invite them to my resort room. Ever.
