Fans predicted "The White Lotus" incest twist online

In a recent episode of The White Lotus, a shocking moment surprised many viewers. In Season 3, Episode 5, brothers Saxon and Lochlan share a kiss during a wild night on a yacht. While some fans were taken aback, a group of Reddit users had predicted this twist weeks in advance. The Reddit thread, titled “If not brocest, then what?”, discussed the possibility of incest early on. One user noted that the show had already hinted at Lochlan’s feelings for Saxon. They suggested that the dramatic twist was likely and pointed to clues scattered throughout earlier episodes. The post appeared before the episode aired on March 16. Fans quickly reacted to the kiss on social media. Some praised the show and expressed interest in watching it, while others criticized the storyline. One commenter wondered why a younger brother would want to kiss his older brother. However, executive producer David Bernad defended the scene. He claimed that the twist served a greater narrative purpose and would be explained as the season progressed. This event showcases how online discussions can predict major storylines in television. As publicity changes, spoilers often come from critics and creators, leaving less surprise for viewers.
