Parvati Shallow is anxiously awaiting for the latest season of The White Lotus to premiere.
“I’m dying for season 3 of White Lotus to drop,” the former Survivor winner, 42, exclusively reveals to Us Weekly about her latest TV obsession.
The award-winning HBO anthology series, which was created by Mike White, follows a group of guests staying at the luxurious White Lotus resort. Each season focuses on a new set of characters staying at the hotel chain in different parts of the world. Before coming up with the idea of the series, White competed on Survivor in its David vs. Goliath season. In each season of The White Lotus, White has called on several of his fellow Survivor tribemates to make cameos in each season.
“How much longer are you going to make us wait, Mike White?” Shallow jokingly asks of her fellow Survivor alum.
Luckily, Shallow and other fans won’t have to wait for The White Lotus much longer as season 3 is scheduled to premiere on February 16 on HBO.
In addition to being enthralled with The White Lotus, Shallow is also obsessed with “The Handsome Podcast” and the book All Fours by Miranda July.
“It’s rare that a book grabs me like this one did,” the Traitors alum explains of the novel. “It’s weird, kinky, funny, sad and so smart. It hooks into female desire and creativity in the most bizarre and compelling way.”
As for blockbusters, Shallow and her daughter Ama, 6, were both impressed with the film adaptation of Wicked.
“I took my daughter to see Wicked and [she] was blown away by the absolute majesty of that movie!” Shallow says of her daughter whom she shares with ex-husband John Fincher. “The fashion, the colors, the magic, the singing, the sizzling chemistry. Everything popped off the screen and by the end I was flying on the back of that broom with my girl Elphie.”
When not watching TV or movies, Shallow also enjoys listening to singer Kendall Jane Meade.
“My girl Kendall Jane Meade recently released her post-divorce album. It’s folksy and hopeful,” Shallow shares of what’s on her playlist. “I know what it took for her to write and produce those songs. I’m so proud of her and I’m listening to it all the time!”
While fans couldn’t get enough of Shallow on season 2 of The Traitors last year, she’s making her return to reality TV for Deal or No Deal Island season 2. She’s following in the footsteps of fellow Survivor winner — and friend — Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano who came in fourth place on the inaugural season of the NBC competition series.
Deal or No Deal Island premieres on Tuesday, January 7, at 8 p.m. ET.
