Mike White Deleted A Piper And Zion Sex Scene From The White Lotus Finale
On today's episode of KFC Radio, we obviously kicked it off talking about the White Lotus season finale. This was possibly the only room in America that was in agreement that it was awesome. The people who said it was a slow season or that nothing happened can get lost because:
1. That's White Lotus. It's always slow and without a plot. Mike White said it himself. Accept the edging.
Did you think #TheWhiteLotus Season 3 was too slow? Creator Mike White sounds off: "If you don’t want to be edged, then get out of my bed." “There was complaining about how there’s no plot. That part I find weird. It never did… part of me is just like bro, this is the vibe. I’m world building. If you don’t want to go to bed with me then get out of my bed. I’m edging you! Enjoy the edging. If you don’t want to be edged, then get out of my bed. Do you know what I mean? Don’t be a bossy bottom. Get the f*ck out of my bed. Don’t come home with me. Don’t get naked in my bed. Get the f*ck out of my bed. Obviously something is going to happen.”
2. You literally had multiple murders, a dad try to poison his own family, the son then accidentally drink that poison, and blackmail against a former murderer/accessory to murder in order to get millions of dollars.
What more could you have asked for from a finale? I had no clue what more Mike White could have done with the episode...until I saw this morning that he said this.
Personally? I think this would have been way crazier and more unrealistic than Rick turning into Chris Kyle instantly and putting one between the security guard's eyes or Belinda calling her bank to see if the $5 million wire transfer was real and the bank not getting suspicious at all about her asking that.
Do we really believe that Piper would've gone from Buddhist to sex crazed in like 12 hours? I get that the message was that every sibling is sort of shifting and starting to become like another one of the siblings
but this would have been hitting us over the head with it a little too much. You don't go from Buddhist to Saxon overnight. I think she's sticking with the more colorful dresses and flashy jewelry for a bit first.
Would've been some QUICK work by Zion, though. The first thing he says to his mom after getting over the fact that she knocked boots with Pornchai is that everyone is getting laid but him, to which she replies that first you get the money, then you get the girl.
That boat left at like 2 so I guess this implies that Zion heard about the wire transfer then immediately went on the prowl? Our guy was voraciously horny.
