The Circle Series 2!

[ItIsWhatItIsInnit]

The Circle is back on tonight (Channel 4, 9:15) and I am soooooo excited

I don't understand how they don't run into one another in the communal areas? Is there a booking system?

Please can James put a top on?

I love that Tim has sussed Jay.

I didn't watch watch Fridays either. Enjoyed tonights episode, not sure how I feel about new girl Ella. She reminds me of a younger drunk version of myself 🤦‍♀️

Watching delayed - so funny when Tim nearly fell off the treadmill!

I can't stand Jays mum I want her out! Impressed Tim has spotted her with zero communication! Glad Richard is leaving I still don't really see the point in him being there

I'm sure last year they said they had chaperones who escorted them round the building stopping them from running into each other.

I agree @itswinetime

Is Tim for real? He seems like an actor to me!

Really love it.

I am actually warming to Tim, love Georgina and actually quite want Sammie or Jay to win!

I hated the cat fishing-fakeness but I guess that is the point!

Hi all, I am really starting to enjoy this series - although HATED Friday's show. It felt like they were emulating Big Brother.

I love Tim and Woody (he so looks like his dad!), and have huge respect for Georgina. She is bringing IBD to a mainstream audience and helping to educate those who are unaware of this disease. Good on her!

I want Georgina to win.

Love Georgina and Tim 💕

Another vote for lovely Georgina and Robin Williams Tim.

Please can James put a top on?
He looks like he's wearing a t shirt with a picture of pecs and abs on

Is James Sammi?

He is really playing it faultless.

I guess May be they can't open their own front door and yrs o bet they do get chaperoned.

I'm actually amazed at how well James is doing with the catfishing and lying. He's a natural.

Makes you realise that when recruiters tell you "It's a great company, such a good atmosphere" and "All the candidates I've placed at this company say it's their dream job" that's they're just well-seasoned bullshitters!

I actually really want James to be caught. He's smug.

I'm so glad that others are disliking Jay's mum as much as I am. Jay himself looks like an East 17 throwback.

'Jay' is growing on me a little but still annoying. She doesn't see as conniving as James/Sammie.

Not keen on ella on first impression. A bit one dimensional?

Love Tim and Georgia and I've got to admit I find Richard v entertaining.

Can't stand the narrator

Brilliant @motorcyclenumpyness. I keep getting David Tennant vibes from him.

Totally agree @100PercentThatBitch it's like a Victoria Wood parody and a crap one at that. I miss Victoria.

Ah I'm glad I found this thread! Don't have anyone else to chat with 😊.

I love the way the genuine people are rising to the top. Think the catfishers will struggle to create 3d believable personas as things progress.

I do find it annoying the way so much of the chat is just meaningless platitudes. If that's the best of the chat it doesn't say much! Tim is fab though and already my winner. I wish they had more older players like him, he has so much character. I've also enjoyed Richard Madeley, despite how cringey he usually is.

Just started watching this and thought the woman pretending to be Jay looked familiar. Looked her up and she was on tv before in Date my Mum!

I also feel like she doesn't know her son that well, I mean she really struggles to have anything more than basic surface exchanges with anyone and that's why only Sammie has the connection because Sammie is also a fake and is just relieved Jay is convinced

I agree about Jay's mum. She's just reduced her son's personality to slang and hashtags. She doesn't seem to understand that she needs to reveal some genuine (sounding) life experiences to really connect to people. I think she's out.

Jay/His mum seems a bit delusional she talks like she is actually him (to herself) totally odd I don't like her will be a bonus if she goes, plus that's Sammi's biggest ally in there take that away it will really shake things up.

Richard I don't dislike him but I don't get it l? He went in to see if he could fool them but wasn't really given that long to either get found out or win them over and then was told to make them dislike him! Which isn't hard and it's not really causing drama as we know it's fake. What is the point? Who couldn't act like a dick to try and get blocked? I just think it's fallen a bit flat. Would rather more time was given to these amazing chats they all keep saying they have!
