Until you’ve got been residing below a rock, you’ve got in all probability heard of Mike White’s Emmy-winning HBO anthology sequence The White Lotus. Season 2 not too long ago ended its wildly profitable run, full with a stunning twist ending that had everybody speaking. The present comes from the thoughts of Mike White, who occurs to be a Survivor contestant and tremendous fan. These of us who watch each exhibits had been delighted when the Season 2 opening episode featured two of White’s fellow castaways, which left me questioning: might we see extra Survivor cameos in future seasons? If that’s the case, there are 5 castaways particularly who I feel is likely to be good decisions to hitch HBO’s rising TV franchise.
Identical to the primary season of The White Lotus, the premiere of Season 2 revealed that at a number of individuals had died on the water. Previous to Meghann Fahy’s Daphne discovering the our bodies, she has a scene with two ladies, performed by Kara Kay and Angelina Keeley. Each of those ladies had been Mike White’s fellow castaways from Survivor: David vs. Goliath. And if he had been to herald extra personalities from the long-running actuality competitors sequence, I’ve acquired a number of options.
Cirie Fields (Survivor Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains, Recreation Changers)
If I am making an inventory of Survivor contestants that may be enjoyable to see seem on The White Lotus, I’ve to incorporate a number of legends. Working example: Survivor icon and four-time castaway Cirie Fields. Whereas she and Mike White by no means performed collectively I’ve acquired to imagine that he is an enormous fan of her profession on the sequence. She’s made actually legendary strikes, and it might be superior to see her immortalized on this method, particularly since circumstances out of her management stopped Cirie from ever making it to Closing Tribal.
Cirie not too long ago appeared within the first season of Peacock’s The Traitors, and it has been a pleasure to have her again on my tv, particularly concerned in one other actuality competitors sequence. Whereas Traitors was renewed for Season 2, followers predict a brand new solid to play the sport. So why not give the fan-favorite castaway an look on The White Lotus?
John Hennigan aka John Morrison (Survivor: David Vs. Goliath)
It is fairly widespread for skilled athletes to compete on Survivor, a few of whom attempt to maintain their identification hidden from fellow castaways upon hitting the seaside. Working example: Cliff Robinson, Brad Culpepper, and Scott Pollard. When Mike White competed on David Vs. Goliath, the skilled athlete who was additionally on his season was none apart from WWE wrestler John Hennigan. His skilled title was John Morrison, and was often known as the Mayor of Slamtown.
Unsurprisingly, John Hennigan was on the Goliath tribe on Survivor, whereas Mike White was a David. They each finally made it to the merge, however Hennigan was voted off seventh in one of many season’s most stunning Tribal Councils. And since his time as a wrestler has seemingly come to an finish, his schedule is likely to be open for a White Lotus cameo. Who is aware of, he could possibly be the following wrestler turned actor like Dave Bautista or The Rock.
Parvati Shallow (Survivor Prepare dinner Islands, Micronesia, Heroes Vs. Villains, Winners at Conflict)
Like Cirie Fields, this one is one other huge swing for followers of each Survivor and The White Lotus. Parvati Shallow is likely one of the hottest contestants of all time, and has additionally performed a whopping 4 instances. She famously received Micronesia, and made it to the Closing Tribal of Heroes Vs. Villains. And given this recognition having Parv present up on a future season of Mike White’s acclaimed dramedy would little question blow the minds of followers.
Since White is such an enormous fan of Survivor, I’ve to imagine that he’d love to fulfill and work with Parvati…even when its not on the island. Actually, her double idol play in Heroes Vs. Villains is the stuff of legends. So if the White Lotus director goes to herald participant that he hasn’t performed with, Shallow looks as if an apparent selection.
Ricard Foye (Survivor 41)
Ricard Foye competed not too long ago on Survivor 41, and is the latest castaway on this listing of oldsters I might wish to see pop up in The White Lotus for a cameo. Foye had a killer first season as a problem beast and strategic risk, whereas additionally utilizing the platform to make optimistic change within the general sport.
Whereas I am positively desperate to see Foye again on the island in one other Survivor season, he truly looks as if a logical option to get a White Lotus cameo. Specifically as a result of he has a historical past as an actor, and can be extra ready than most contestants. What’s extra, he not too long ago did one other cameo, with a fast function on Showtime’s Queer as Folks reboot. If White desires to proceed the pattern of Survivor cameos with somebody who already is aware of the way to hit a mark and ship a line, Ricard looks as if a terrific selection.
Michele Fitzgerald (Survivor Kaoh Rong, Winners at Conflict)
One other new college Survivor who has made a critical mark is Michele Fitzgerald. She received her first season Kaoh Rong, though she was an underdog who some followers had been shocked grew to become the Soul Survivor. She had one thing to show when retuning for Winners at Conflict, particularly going in opposition to so many heavy hitters. Ultimately she as soon as once more fought her method to Closing Tribal Council, finally coming in third place.
Since seem on her two seasons of Survivor, Michele Fitzgerald has continued doing actuality competitors exhibits. She joined the solid of MTV’s The Problem, and has additionally competed on two seasons of that common present. Since she’s nonetheless so related and used to being on TV, she looks as if one other straightforward option to have a White Lotus cameo as extra seasons arrive on HBO.
Sadly for followers of each Survivor and The White Lotus, we’re at the moment within the interim interval between seasons. Fortunately for these clamoring to listen to extra of Jeff Probst’s narration, Survivor will return to CBS on March 1st. Within the meantime, try the TV premiere listing to plan your subsequent binge watch.
