The Survivor: David vs. Goliath cast loves checking into The White Lotus.

Mike White finished in second place on the 2018 fan-favorite season of the CBS competition series, and though he went on to create HBO's satirical vacation drama three years later, he didn't leave his previous island drama in the past. The showrunner keeps recruiting his fellow David vs. Goliath castaways for each season of The White Lotus (so far), bringing them across the world to film roles on his Emmy-winning series.

From wealthy resort guests to hardworking (and hard-partying) employees, here is every Survivor cameo on The White Lotus.

Alec Merlino​

White's original Goliath tribemate Alec Merlino was unanimously sent to the jury after losing an impressive endurance challenge that lasted five hours. He fared much better in the first season of The White Lotus, recurring as a bartender named Hutch across five episodes — the most of any Survivor contestant — who partied more than he worked, thanks to Armond's (Murray Bartlett) spiraling at the Maui resort.

Angelina Keeley​

White was runner-up to David vs. Goliath's controversial winner Nick Wilson, and Angelina Keeley finished behind him in third place as a zero-vote finalist. She was also an original Goliath tribe member and went viral for asking for a voted-out contestant's jacket as she got her torch snuffed. On The White Lotus, Keeley was without a jacket again — but this time, it was because she played a wealthy beachgoer at season 2's Italian resort. And her acting was much better than that time she tried to pretend to have a fake idol.

Kara Kay​

After White beat fellow Goliath tribemate Kara Kay in the final four fire-making challenge, he sent her to the jury with a fourth place finish. So it's only right that he then sent her to Italy to film a cameo in the season 2 premiere alongside Keeley on the beach — especially since she did vote for White to win Survivor, after all.

Natalie Cole​

She never gave Keeley her jacket, and maybe that's what earned Natalie Cole a season 3 cameo. Cole was yet another Goliath tribe member, but she didn't make it to the merge — and White actually cast the deciding vote to send her packing on day 15. So did he cast her as a White Lotus resort guest in Thailand for the season 3 premiere to make up for that? Cole plays a fabulously dressed patron in the restaurant who catches Belinda's (Natasha Rothwell) eye for being "two Black people ... and they weren't staff!"

Carl Boudreaux​

Alongside Cole in the season 3 premiere dinner scene is Carl Boudreaux, who is the first David tribe member to appear on The White Lotus. He lasted longer than Cole in the game, getting voted out on day 30 and becoming the fifth jury member. But just like with Cole, White cast the deciding vote against Carl, sending him home ... and then later sending him to Thailand to film his cameo.

The White Lotus season 3 airs Sundays on HBO.
