During an appearance on <em>Watch What Happens Live<\/em>, Bibb revealed that she turned to <em>The Real Housewives<\/em> episodes to prepare for her role, specifically watching them right before filming scenes. \u201cI was watching <em>The Real Housewives<\/em> always before scenes,\u201d she admitted, explaining that she let the show\u2019s influence subtly seep in without consciously trying.<\/p>\n<p>Bibb pointed out that <em>The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> and <em>The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/em> were the main sources of inspiration. She felt that the luxury and drama of <em>Beverly Hills<\/em> was a good match for her character, Kate, and hinted at some similarities to <em>OC<\/em>\u2018s Heather Dubrow, who is known for her polished, affluent persona.<\/p>\n<p>Bibb wasn\u2019t the only one getting reality TV inspiration for <em>The White Lotus<\/em>. Co-star Jason Isaacs, who plays Timothy Ratliff, shared that creator Mike White had encouraged the cast to watch <em>Southern Charm<\/em> for research. Isaacs revealed that his portrayal of Ratliff was partly inspired by former <em>Southern Charm<\/em> star Thomas Ravenel.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming season of the hit HBO series is set to deliver more luxury, drama, and dark comedy with an all-star cast, including Parker Posey, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, and Natasha Rothwell. Bibb also gave a shout-out to her partner, Sam Rockwell, who recently appeared in an episode, calling his performance \u201ciconic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With her <em>Real Housewives<\/em>-inspired approach, Bibb is sure to bring a unique layer of authenticity to her role, adding to the high-stakes drama that <em>The White Lotus<\/em> is known for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leslie Bibb is bringing a fresh twist to her role as a Texas housewife, Kate Bohr, in Season 3 of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":64356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[19630],"class_list":["post-64355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-leslie-bibb"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
