Giving it a go as it's followed GBBO 😂 anybody watching?

After a slow start I'm absolutely hooked by The Circle now. I agree I think Genelle has gone due to illness/personal reasons as they described there being two exits coming up tonight rather than two blockings. Roll on 10pm!

Also, we've only ever watched Netflix in this house for months - I am loving sitting down to a show at a certain time every day with my partner who's been suckered into this too. It's like being back in 1998 with Eastenders!

I know what you mean Yolo!

Kate tried to block Freddie early on didn't she? And he was told, and he's been clinging onto that ever since!

Just had a thought, maybe if it's been billed as explosive, Freddie DOES get blocked and he's stormed round to Sian's as his visit? Specially if she IS an influencer. He would be fuming ha! God, imagine getting an irate Freddy bursting into your abode 😱🤣

My only gripe with the Circle is that it doesn't start til 10. 9-10 would be SO much better than its current 10-11pm slot

I'd happily see Freddie go. Attention seeking people just attract the camera's attention and I think we're seeing far too much Freddie just because he does drama. Ryan is more interestingly bonkers in his me and my invisible friend stuff. he is very creepy.

I love this too. Dan is my favourite but I like Sian too. I think Alex is evil the way he’s playing Dan but it just goes to show you should never trust anyone on social media!

I hate Freddie, Scotty and Ryan (mainly because of admiring Farage).

Has anyone seen the sneak peek for tonight??? There are no influencers lowest rated goes! Not sure if that's for both or just one! So it could well be Freddie going

Ooh sounds interesting! I'll have to wait until tomorrow to watch, The Circle is my guilty pleasure so watch it when dh isn't here.

I just watched it @itswinetime 🙈🙈
No genelle so looks like she has gone, that's a shame

I noticed that not sure if they are playing with us or not! If not I can only imagine the second chat with dan didn't go well it's odd timing otherwise

Ooooh watched it! Genelles votes must still count then? Gosh no influencers then! Fabulous! I wonder if the folk in charge are just making up formats as they go along with this 1st series? Or maybe they WANT to keep Freddie in and the voting results put him at risk and they didn't want to take chances on it. I'd happily see Scotty go tonight. Wouldn't miss him one bit!

I thought Genelle was just sitting out the afternoon activity, has she definitely gone?Freddie & Ryan to leave, I hope. They're both pretty vile. Scotty is also pretty sleazy but I'm enjoying watching the girls kick him about a bit.

What's Ryan doing? Confused

I don't know about Ryan - I think he gave Freddie and Sian 5* ratings and that they hadn't reciprocated.

Or maybe he was just bored!

Ryan is my least favourite. Even lower than Scotty! He is the snakiest snake!!

I actually think Ryan is nastier than Freddie. He's smarter & happy to let Freddie do the dirty work, like the queen bee bully at school who had minions to do her shitty bidding.

I'm liking Mairead! I just voted for Dan to go to the hideout purely because Freddy and Scotty have already done it. Would be quite amusing to see if he likes her as much as he does Kate! Poor fella!

See with ryan i actually don't mind him ( when i forget about his ukip passion) he is one of the few that seems to be genuinely enjoying the game and everything it throws at them. I can't see him storming round someone's flat and ranting at them that they've ruined it for them #coughhannah

Ryan is horrible sits back and plays puppet master I hate that very nasty side to him!

I voted dan too mainly because the players will see it as a popularity vote and also because without Genelle dan and Kate are vulnerable they need allies!

I wonder if they’ve asked the actual woman is Maireed’s photo if she minds it being used on telly?
Kate & Christopher we’re both people that the circle players actually knew in real life, just lifting a strangers pic is quite different

Haha what an episode - good on Hannah for standing up for herself

I like mairead already!

Agree re the ethics of using a real persons photo on TV. You should get their consent. Hannah's clothing got more bizarre as she went on b

Really disliked Hannah so I'm glad she's gone. Those fake eyelashes looked rediculus. She showed herself up a bit going off on Scotty too, it is a game after all.
I hope Sian doesn't go back to being full on besties with freddie as I think shes much nicer without him.
Don't like the new lady. Considering she is using someone else's (much prettier) picture her comments about the others were not very nice, especially at Sian's appearance.
Still love Alex. Dan is now my second fave.
