MIKE WHE AND ‘THE WHE LOT’ STARS BREAK DOWN THAT JAW-DROPPG TWIST: I WANT TO ‘MAKE GAY SEX TRANSGRSIVE AGA’

Edor's note: this post ntas spoilers for episo five of The Whe Lot season 's givg a weeks-long tease, we fally got a gay sex scene on season two of The Whe Lot. In a classic Whe Lot twist, though, a gay sex scene me om somewhere else entirely.

‘THE WHE LOT’ SEASON FALE: ‘THE GAYS, THEY’RE TRYG TO MURR ME!’

Introduced episo three, wealthy gay man Quent (Tom Hollanr) is at the Whe Lot hotel Sicily wh a group of gay iends. Though most of them are rich olr gays, there are a few younger men their pany, cludg Jack (Leo Woodall), a charmg and sexy guy om Essex who refers to Quent as his "uncle. Quent's personaly, accent, and tast f the archetypil "proper wealthy Brish gay man, " whereas Jack looks and sounds like a future st member of Love Island.

Sendly, if a rich gay man like Quent were to hire a few younger guys to "enterta" him and his group of iends durg a trip to Sicily, stands to reason that someone like Jack would lie to Portia about Quent beg his uncle, not his "employer. Tanya and Portia were troduced to Quent, his “high-end gays” and his alleged nephew Jack episo four, and they all quickly h off. Both feature a character walkg on gay sex behd closed doors, and both occur two episos before the fale.

After she duc that he also may have stolen her phone, she sneaks away wh his to ll reveals that she saw Jack “fuckg his uncle, ” Quent (Tom Hollanr), and Portia tells her what she learned om Jack the night before—that Quent and the gays might be tryg to sm her. Though “the gays, they’re tryg to murr me” is stantly inic, I thought this one was equally hilar: “There aren’t enough people out there who are worried about old buildgs, ” Tanya shouts, so nervo, while Quent chatters on about how he needs money to pay for his the gays’ aths aren’t big enough.
