Leslie Bibb Is Having the Time of Her Life

Leslie Bibb stops herself midway through a long and beautiful rumination about season 3 of The White Lotus to exclaim, “I’m like a babbling brook!” As part of the trio of lifelong friends (alongside Carrie Coon and Michelle Monaghan) reuniting in Thailand, she plays Kate, the friend caught in the middle. Playing peacemaker as often as she’s playing shit stirrer, Kate is always either pausing to consider a diplomatic response or communicating with just nonverbal facial expressions that say enough to fill a burn book cover to cover. Bibb’s faces have since gone viral online, themselves an expression of the myriad of feelings viewers have about the three women christened by creator Mike White as the “Blonde Blob.”
