Christian Hubicki appears in The White Lotus season 3

Mike White, the creator of The White Lotus and a former contestant on Survivor, has been incorporating survivors from his reality TV days into his HBO series. White was a runner-up on Survivor: David vs. Goliath in 2018. He drew inspiration from his experience on the show when crafting The White Lotus, which debuted in 2021 and quickly gained popularity. White previously stated that Survivor and The White Lotus share similarities, as both shows revolve around characters dealing with conflict and survival. In fact, he has included other Survivor alumni in The White Lotus, much to the excitement of fans. Some notable cameos include Alec Merlino, who played a bartender named Hutch, and Angelina Keeley, who had a brief role with another Survivor alum, Kara Kay. Both actors were surprised to learn they had speaking lines in the series, as they initially expected to be mere background characters. Natalie Cole and Carl Boudreaux also made appearances in Season 3. Cole shared her experience of her cameo evolving from a small part to several lines, adding more depth to her role. Boudreaux played Cole's husband in the show. Recently, fans spotted Christian Hubicki in a surprise cameo during the fifth episode of Season 3. Hubicki downplayed his appearance, joking about another celebrity in the same scene. These cameos have added a fun twist to The White Lotus for Survivor fans.
