OFF TOPIC
With just two episodes remaining in #WhiteLotus, it’s time to rank the characters by how likely they are to die.
(Remember, E1 began with dead bodies, plural, floating in the water).
NOTE: Mild spoilers follow.
100% SAFE
17/ Daphne
Cameron’s wife, & Sicily’s favorite Airbnb villa renter, finds the body. We know for sure she makes it out alive.
16/ Valentina
Feeder of feral kittens & buyer of star broaches is marked safe.
15/ Rocco & Isabella
How do you say “I ship this” in Italian?
14/ Mia
No one shoots the piano player, even if she DID get busy in a deconsecrated chapel.
13/ Portia
No fucks to give, and no way in hell anything bad happens to her.
PROBABLY OK
12/ Giuseppe
The lecherous piano player has already had his humiliation.
11/ Tonya
Whatever witchy curse the spa lady may have put on her, and whatever dread tarot cards she drew, there’s gonna be a third season, yeah? The Seychelles, maybe? Or Bali?
10/ Dominic
An obvious choice for oblivion, given his misery, but the more poetical punishment for Christophuh is to be spared.
9/ Cameron
Tom Buchanan never dies.
HANGING IN THE BALANCE
8/ Bert
Will the concussed old man buy the farm? I have no idea, but it will be a wonderful surprise.
7/ Harper
With the recurring local myth of the jilted woman who beheads her lover, and the shots of all those statues of severed heads, it seems more likely that Harper will snap and kill someone than be a victim.
PROBABLY GONERS
6/ Greg
Tonya’s fourth husband gets his gaslighting ass back to Sicily just in time to get wacked?
5/ Jack
Hot tatted Cockney guy is like Holly Martins in “The Third Man:” born to be murdered.
4/ Ethan
Ah, but all that money HAS changed him. And he might not live long enough to enjoy it (or have Cameron’s shark finance bros invest it for him). The condom may not have been his, but we still don’t know what he got up to that night. The piper must be paid.
CLEARLY DOOMED
3/ Quentin
What better way to out-scandalize your father than to meet a violent end in your decadent Sicilian villa?
2/ Lucia
“We’re going to be punished,” she says, displaying her gift for prophesy.
1/ Albie
So compassionate he can’t even watch The Godfather without feeling guilty about its patriarchal undertones, he’s mixed himself up in an underworld he doesn’t understand and thus underestimates. The sacrifice of the innocents.
He should have stayed home with his mother.

Quinn Cummings has been at this longer than I have, and she's right about this:
MSM needs to help people grasp the enormity of the betrayal here, the unprecedented dicking over of America by FPOTUS. The sooner they do that, the less MAGA violence there will be when he is indicted.
The more that resident fascist #LeonardLeo—the radical Catholic Oz behind the SCOTUS curtain—appears in the news, the less effective his byzantine operation becomes.
What Leo is really good at is spreading that money around his network of non-profits & PACs & other orgs to maximize political spending & pay as little in taxes as possible.
Jared Kushner intentionally sabotaged the pandemic response, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, because he thought that would help his criminal FIL get re-elected. #BlueStateGenocide
I guess the Fox News host won't ask Jared if he had advance notice from his bestie MBS that Khashoggi was going to get killed.
How many times did Jared Kushner omit meetings with foreign nationals on his SF-86 form? How many times did he revise the document? Why did his FIL override the professionals and grant him a security clearance?
