I love that they basically stuck to the formula for the first season and it’s working again.
I put off starting the show so I could build up a few episodes, but I watched all 5 in two days so now I’m READY for the next one

So, the picture Tanya saw - should I have recognized the guy?
ETA - I googled and people say there is a resemblance to the husband

It definitely seems like the show wants us to believe that the gay guy is scamming Tanya. It reminded me what he said in the last episode, whether she was willing to die for beauty. Like is there some connection with that younger Italian guy being part of the mafia and her dying (by a mafia hit? overdose on laced cocaine?) so her husband who may or may not be connected to gay guy would inherit everything and give a bunch of it to the gay guy?
But I feel like killing off Jennifer Coolidge's character would be a lot since she's the one carrying through each season and they have confirmed a season 3 already. We'll see I guess!

It also seems too obvious for her to die now. But maybe she kills someone who is trying to kill her.

Also Ethan became a real asshole in this last episode and a half. I was fully team Harper for how he reacted and not being honest with her when she was obviously onto him. And she was 100% right in telling him to stop gaslighting her.

Wasn't there something at the beginning about the story of the woman that was pushed off the island thingie for not selling it, but now it's open to the public? Was that place close to the hotel where Jennifer Coolidge can push him off that and he ends up where whatsherface finds the dead body? Maybe she kills her H vs the other guy, he hasn't come back yet.

The gay “uncle” told her that story when they first met and were drinking on the private deck/cabana, and yes that place is just across from the resort. That’s a good thought about somebody dying from there. I agree with Willow that I don’t think it will be Tanya who dies.

Did they also say the bodies were found in a more secluded area of the resort, or did I imagine.

The article I read also brought up a good point: early on Cameron foreshadowed in a conversation saying how the Aristocrats have all these lavish homes but essentially no cash. IDK how the mafia guy comes into the picture unless he’s used for a hit or blackmail. What if the roles turn now that Tanya and Portia are figuring out something is off, and Tanya hires the mafia dude to kill the gay uncle and/or Greg?

Also remember how Greg freaked out that Portia was going to be on the trip? If he’s in on a plot to kill her, Portia being by her side would massively screw up the plan.

And the young British guy keeping her away from the party and insisting they stay in the hotel seemed purposeful too. Because Portia probably would have shut down the weird mafia guy and cocaine bit, or at least been suspicious.

This is now making sense - also how he was having trouble having sex with her. Maybe he really is gay/in it with the gay "uncle" guy! Like where did he have to go and leave their vacation? I think you might be on to something here, though I still feel very clueless about what will happen. Lol

If Greg is the cowboy, it seems like the most obvious plot is that he is having an affair (remember his phone call) with someone and enlisted Tom Hollander to help him kill off Jennifer Coolidge and make it look like an accident and then split the life insurance (the ‘nephew’ said he’s coming into money and she’s rich AF.) And Greg split the country to have an alibi and the mafia guy would help provide laced drugs or something that looks like an OD.
I sincerely hope these are all somehow red herrings because it’s no poop in the suitcase and I expect that level of antics. I do remember in Season 1 that Greg said he had some illness that means he could just up and die and also that he likes to swim. So I’d love if he comes back and dies of natural causes while swimming and Jennifer Coolidge survives the whole thing. She needs to be in Season 3!

Lol Whatever his motives are, clearly something deeper than just an affair is going on because if he truly wanted a romantic getaway, he wouldn’t have acted the way he did the rest of the time, he def wanted Tanya to be alone after he left.

I started the first episode again. They talk about the faces all around the resort as a warning due to a story about a man screwing around on his wife and so he was killed

Or I guess even Grandpa Bert too. All the men but Ethan have cheated on their wives. Also can I say I am much happier with the Gen Zers in this cast? Nothing against the young actors from the first season but their characters were so intolerable it made it difficult for me to watch any of their scenes. I much prefer the characters this season.

I'm 100% sure it won't be Jennifer's character who dies. She's got to be in the next season to tie things together. The gay guys are definitely after her money and I can see her H being involved. That makes a lot of sense. They mentioned the pre nup though so if they killed her and the circumstances are suspicious I would think her H would have a harder time getting a hold of the money. But maybe not. I still don't think she will be killed.

I don't have any real guesses on who will be dead and how it will happen. I expect to be totally surprised like I was with season 1.

goldenbird I think that is why he left for "work" so that he has an alibi and if they involve the mafia, Italian police would likely just accept that as the reason and not investigate much further. But I also agree it is highly unlikely she dies at this point.

I just rewatched the last episode and I noticed there is a camera recording in the corner ceiling of the room where Tanya and the Italian mafia guy are hooking up. Are they going to use this to blackmail her? Maybe her prenup (that was mentioned earlier this season) has an infidelity clause and they’re going to shake her down? I feel like every piece of dialogue in this show is foreshadowing in some way!

sapphire I had read that too and felt the same way. I dunno I’m still processing everything. My initial reaction was OMG! But then, “huh. So that’s it?”
