1Leslie Bibb as Kate
HBODead or alive: Alive
Kate spent the majority of the season playing referee between Laurie and Jaclyn, and for that, we thank her. She helped pull her friend group bath together after a major rift, and came away with a renewed appreciation for her life.
2Carrie Coon as Laurie
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Look, I was concerned about Laurie many times. Especially when she went off to the Muay Thai fight by herself and then went home with one of the Russian guys (who we always assumed was part of the robbery scheme), but she survived the finale and had a real emotional breakthrough in the process, telling her friends she was just happy to be at the table with them. She also survived a shooting, so, good for her.

3Michelle Monaghan as Jaclyn
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
She and Laurie might have had their differences, but they both slept with Russian men involved in a robbery, so... how different are they really? Jaclyn survived the finale by the skin of her teeth, barely avoiding a bullet meant for Jim Hollinger (courtesy of Rick).
4Jason Isaacs as Timothy Ratliff
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
After contemplating suicide the whole season, even having multiple dreams where he killed not only himself but his wife and son, and even making them poisonous pina coladas to kill them all, Timothy Ratliff survived the season. His son Lochlan almost died, and the fact that he didn't seems to have given Timothy a new will to live.

5Parker Posey as Victoria Ratliff
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Victoria Ratliff spent most of s3 worrying too much about her daughter Piper and not enough worrying about what was happening with her husband, and while she did survive the finale, she's going home to no more money. Honestly, Victoria would probably have rather died.
6Patrick Schwarzenegger as Saxon Ratliff
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
At the beginning, Saxon gave big mass shooter vibes, but as the episodes went on, he started to evolve into a person who seemed eager to become a better version of himself. He not only survived the finale but seems like he's on the cusp of a real emotional change. Good for him!

7Sarah Catherine Hook as Piper Ratliff
HBODead or alive: Alive
In the words of Victoria Ratliff: Piper, no!!! I knew this white girl did not have it in her to leave the creature comforts behind and adopt a life of Buddhism. I love to be proven right! Honestly, while she made it out of the finale alive, she should be embarrassed.
8Sam Nivola as Lochlan Ratliff
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive, barely
Lochlan was very nearly an accidental byproduct of his dad's plot to kill the rest of his family. Imagine bringing that to your therapist! After drinking the poisonous pina colada by accident, Lochlan survives a near-death experience, and says he saw god. So maybe he's the closest we got to a real spiritual awakening this season.

9Walton Goggins as Rick Hatchett
HBODead or alive: Dead
Another character that seemed to be courting death all season, it was a bit odd when Rick's Bangkok adventure didn't end in at least one dead body, but now we know why. Jim Hollinger came back to the hotel to tell Rick off, and Rick got so angry about it that he shot him. In return, Gaitok shot Rick. It would have been way too simple for him to make it out alive.
10Aimee Lou Wood as Chelsea
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Dead
The one person this whole season who I refused to believe could die, of course Chelsea wound up dead. While trying to get Rick to avoid doing something stupid and irreversible, she took a bullet meant for Rick and died. This is truly the most tragic death on the show so far.

11Lisa Manobal as Mook
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Honestly... Mook is alive and she's getting her bag now that Gaitok is working security for Sritala, but I hope it doesn't work out for her, because she's clearly only in it for the money!
12Natasha Rothwell as Belinda
HBODead or alive: ALIVE AND RICH
I'm so glad we got some more Belinda, especially after she got the shaft on her spa deal with Tanya. She deserved some redemption! She ends up taking the money from Gary while negotiating him up to $5 million. But realizing she should leave right away, she breaks Pornchai's little heart by telling him she can't go into business with him. I'm pretty sure she repeated the exact same words Tanya said to her in season 1. So while she's richer and better off, she basically just did the same thing to Pornchai that Tanya did to her. Ouch.

13Jon Gries as Greg, aka "Gary"
Courtesy HBODead or alive: Alive
I mean, this guy. THIS GUY. I cannot believe he weaseled his way back onto a White Lotus property. Rich people, I guess. He paid Belinda to keep his secret, and it looks like he's going to get the sexual fantasy he wanted. Smh.
14Charlotte Le Bon as Chloe
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
All Chloe wanted was to live in peace with her rich boyfriend in their huge mansion, and it looks like that's what she got. Good for her, I guess?

15Tayme Thapthimthong as Gaitok
Photograph by Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
The moment Gaitok actually did well at the shooting range, I knew we were in trouble. He'd been goaded all season by people who didn't think he was tough enough or had the killer instinct, and he was basically commanded by Sritala to shoot Rick. He sacrificed his morals, but he got that promotion he wanted, so... all good? Honestly, I think this is going to haunt Gaitok for the rest of his life.
16Arnas Fedaravičius as Valentin
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
I really wanted Valentin to simply be a fun vacation hookup for one of our blondes, but this is White Lotus, so obviously that wasn't going to happen! He threatened Gaitok in the finale and somehow got away with it all. Oof.

17Nicholas Duvernay as Zion
Fabio Lavino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Zion was tempting fate when he persuaded his mom to go to that party at Greg/Gary's, and we obviously knew early on that he encountered a dead body in the water. But he was not only able to negotiate a bigger payoff for his mom, he survived the mass shooting. Honestly... a bit of an episode MVP.
18Dom Hetrakul as Pornchai
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Pornchai!!! I could have used a whole spinoff episode about Pornchai, but alas, it was not meant to be. He made Belinda the sweetest offer ever to start a spa together, but she turns him down as soon as she gets her $5 million. Harsh. I hope there are better things on the horizon for this kind, kind man.

19Christian Friedel as Fabian
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
We only got to hear Fabian sing one time, and I think that's the true crime of the season.
20Patravadi Mejudhon (aka Lek Patravadi) as Sritala Hollinger
Fabio Lovino/HBODead or alive: Alive
Another huge crime is that we'll never get to see the fake movie Frank and Rick were courting Sritala for. She lost a husband and a movie deal in one fell swoop.
