Condensed Shabnam quote from our discussion of The White Lotus S3 E2: This was a great episode. We started with ass and we ended with boobs. So there you go.But NOT the way you’d imagine it. After arriving on the island; the wellness has begun, Belinda is SEXY and we invent a new game, “embarrassed or pervy?”.The Ratliff’s get a bit too close (naked), the ladies get a bit chatty and the couples have an awkward dinner. Does an attraction between Gaitok and Mook boil into madness and a smash and grab?? Tune in anywhere you listen to podcasts!
