In the spring of 2018, Hollywood writer and director Mike White - then known for Drinking movies like "Rock School" And creating shows like "Enlightened" -did something surprising: he competed on the TV show of the reality of CBS "Survivor" during his 37th season. Titled "David Against Goliath", the season relied on the substrate, Davids, against social and physical heavy categories, naked; White, original Goliath, made him until the end of the game, but eventually lost to former David Nick Wilson player. (Given that Wilson entered some strange political spheres after winningI personally feel weak that white doesn't win, but whatever.)

However, "Survivor" was the gift that continued to give for white. Not only is he now a closed personal friend with the longtime host of "Survivor", Effef Prost - who once said he would happily make White producer of the show about reality and said he sometimes asks him for contributing in seasons and challenges - but a concept of A. Undoubtedly, foreigners trying to survive in a tropical paradise undoubtedly inspired White Lotos' award -winning series for White Lotos. (Also, if you surprise you that White was Goliath, Trouvest talked to Kelefa Sane about a Newuork White's profile said, "There were a few people who said," Is he David or Goliath? "I said, 'Are you kidding?

Of course, no one in the "white lotus" has harshly grasped in their beach habitats, but the social game of "Survivor" is the most intriguing part of the whole company, and the complexity of dealing with the people around you is the front of the "White Lotos". Given this in mind, it is not amazing that White has thrown a small number of "David vs. Goliath" castimati in small roles of Kimo through the three seasons of "White Lotos" - and here's a list of every arrival so far.

Season 1 of the "White Lotos", which began in 2021, is set on the incredibly beautiful island of Hawaiian Maui - and is characterized by Alec Merlino, an original member of the Goliath tribe of "David v. Hatch does not do much, but he hovering around in the background with the rest of the staff, including the director of the resort Armond (Murray Bartlett) and employees Dillon (Lucas Gage).

As for Survivor's Merlino's time, he did not initially form an Alliance with White, and after the tribe exchange occurred at the beginning of the season, Merlino ended separated from most of his former colleagues Goliaths. Merlino eventually made it to the merger-what, for the uninitiated, is when the two tribes combine into one and each player begins to compete individually and formed a cross-tribal alliance that ended with the inclusion of white. Although Merlino has made an impact on another Goliath player, Natalie Azoka, he was unanimously voted after losing an individual immunity challenge and became the fourth member of the jury. At least later he had to hang out with white in Maui!

Angelina Kili and Kara Kay competed with Mike White at "David Against Goliath" from the very beginning of the Goliath tribe, and incredibly, both traveled with him by the end of the game; Kay became the last member of the jury, and Kili was one of the three finalists along with White and Nick Wilson. (Kili received zero votes of the three White, making it on the 2nd vice champion.) Obviously, before Season 2 of "White Lotus" He began filming at the site of Sicily, White gained a brunch with his friends Kili and Kay and said he wanted to get involved in the project.

In an interview with Vulture After premiering the series, Kili revealed he was "frozen" and "ran late" to meet White when he said he wanted to appear in Clos in the series. "Why would we allow us to act as actors anywhere near his set?" Kili was laughing. "Mike was the front row of some of the worst acting moments in my life at Survivor:" Juice "and the false idol." (Kili also refers to a fake planted immunity idol that deceived during her season and a "jacket", one of the most memorable moments of the whole series, refers to the time when freezing cold Kili begged her colleague Goliath Natalie Cole for her jacket for her jacket After her jacket after her jacket after her jacket after her jacket after her jacket after her jacket Quantity was voted.

"Pretty early, we knew there was an American woman no. 1 and American woman no. 2, "Kay said, attracting to say that she thought they would only be background actors. "Then we got a draft of the script and we realized, OH we have lines, we'll say something. We're acting"The act they did, along with Starvala Megan Jahi in a short stage at the beginning of the season premiere-and not only did a good job, it was fun in a joke for Survivor fans.

Season 3 of "White Lotus" takes place in Thailand And she carries Natasha Rotwell, who helped run season 1 as Spa manager Maui resort Belinda, again on the ship as her character trained with Southeast Asia staff. While eating dinner at the resort, Belinda waves a woman sitting at a nearby table with her companion; Thene is a player of "David vs. Goliath" Natalie Cole, who was Goliath with Mike White, and the husband with her is Carl Budo, original David. Cole was voted on by the Goliath tribe on the 15th day of 39 - refusing to give up the jacket of very cold and humid Angelina Kili - and Budeo was the 10th person voted outside and the fifth jury member.

In an interview with Fun weekly After the third season of HBO's premiere, the awkward Cohl-Chiy less-ideal stance did not make her particularly popular in the Goliath camp-said she was really surprised to get the call from White for Kimo. Why? She just didn't think she loved her. "The fact that he could look beyond the way he felt for me in Fiji and ask me to come to do a part, talking about him as a person," Cole told the exit. "Initially, he thought he would never talk to me again." It is clear that there is no bad blood between Cole and White ... though she Whether Say in the interview that at least some jokes are made for a "jacket".
