The Circle Series 2!

[ItIsWhatItIsInnit]

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

James has to be careful that he doesn’t completely out himself with this complete change in personality!

So if the 'revolution' team are clever they will rate Sammie high and Tim low. Sammie has a better chance going against Ella or woody to get them to back down! And get rid of Tim!

Time needs to talk to the others and they need to agree to a plan personally they either all agree to rate Tim one and Sammie low and hope that cancels the others out and you either get Sammie vs Tim again which would probably end in statement. Or you get 2 new influencers. Personally I think paddy and Georgina just want to get to the finale I think they both have sammies back but do they have each other's?
Either way it will be interesting unless they through a secret twist in?

@SnowyZ I agree I think Ella is probably like this in real life everyone is a babe a bestie or whatever even though it's obviously only surface level in reality

Snowzy - I agree with you. Ella sees the good in everyone, and is genuinely a ‘hun’ type of person. However, she can across as overbearing (ie. shouts a lot) and dominating. However, they don’t see that there, only her chatty comments through The Circle. Maybe as a bigger person (ie siix foot tall, plus plus size) she has developed a bigger personality.

James really is coming across as a nasty piece of work

James is so arrogant. I'm concerned for Woody as both James and Georgina are gunning for him.

Ella, Tim and Woody are vulnerable because they're not plotting to vote together, and just one different rating could make all the difference now. For example if Ella rates Georgina higher than Tim or Woody, it could upset the whole applecart.

God this is horrible now. James is so vile it's really unpleasant to watch. The nice 3 will be friends in real life. The others wouldn't give each other the time of day.

Who thinks producers are going to step in and interfere? If one of the COT win like this its not going to go down well when they get out! Even if it is kind of the point of the game...

I suspect a surprise public vote is going to sneak in, much to the COT’s horror...I hope, anyway.

The producers want woody and Tim in the final I think probably Sammie to as this is great fro ratings something will have that will allow that to go on Something like a combination rankings all you rankings are combined and averaged out or something that plays to the advantage of the long term popular ones

James has gone too far. Tim knows that whether they are or are not a catfish they are a manipulative liar and he wants none of them

If Woody convinces Ella to put Sammie last, she will end up middle table if Paddy and Georgina put her first. It could completely backfire.

If Tim is an influencer and Sammie isn't - Sammie is DOA

The producers might just change how the blocking is decided depending on the results, so it might be an instant blocking for last place like with Josh, if the producers are happy to see them go rather than risk a popular player going. Although given only two days left maybe they will leave it to influencers.

Really hope james goes he's horrible and the only reason he wanted jan to stay was to try and manipulate her on to their side.

It's to late for a public vote I think tomorrow is the last day as we won't really see any of Fridays stuff with it being the finale but there will be a twist or something if any of the public favourites are in danger

Tonight was by far the best episode though! I like the drama but I want the genuine good guys to win. I was a bit Meh about Woody in the early days but he's a very bright, funny and perceptive guy.

I genuinely think James is losing his marbles now. He went in too hard with Ella and now Tim is totally on to him. James is probably one of those people who is super loyal to his mum and best friend but to the detriment of everyone else. He literally picked up a wicker chair to sit on it like a throne!!

Ella to me seems completely fake, like she'd bump into you in the street being like "OMG hun we must meet up for coffee" but then ignore all your messages when you try and arrange the meetup.

Tim is also quite manipulative. He always seems to get his way with the blockings, and doesn't like when anyone seriously challenges him.

I have no idea who I'd want to win. Woody or Georgina probably #bringbackJoyce

Yeah I'm all for the drama as long as the right people come out on top in the end! I don't want the snakey tactical group to win then it all just becomes a bit to real life

James is not a nice person. His true personality has been shining through and I'm so glad Tim knows the deal now.

So close to the end now. I don't think James can win, thank goodness, but he could knock someone more deserving out of the final. If he were to win I think he would face a shitstorm coming out.

Just seen an account on Twitter that has done a series of "retweet if you want X to win" after tonight's episode
Tim is out way in front at 350+
Think Woody was on about 150
All the others on about 30
....except for Paddy who had 1.

It's rare watching things like this that I feel so in tune with the masses!

I think Georgina, Woody and Paddy are the only genuine players. Woody is young and a bit naive and has obviously had a very privileged and liberal upbringing so I think he really is that positive and upbeat and can afford to be all ‘peace and love.’

Georgina seems the most real to me, she’s not perfect or always positive but for the most part she has been genuine with people and you can see her feeling angst and concern in situations where she’s not being authentic in the chats, for example she clearly feels torn about the ‘revolution’ as she does have a genuine friendship with Ella. I think she’s being caught up in the chat with paddy and Sammie but I think if it came down to being an influencer she wouldn’t necessarilly be able to get rid of Ella. She seems torn between playing the game and being a friend.

Paddy has always been upfront and although I don’t particularly like him and think he’s looking for drama he has done so quite openly and I don’t think he’s pretending to be anything he’s not.

Ella is definitely one of those ‘you’re my best friend hun’ kinds of people who acts like everyone’s friend but I don’t think she really has any loyalty. Her chat with Josh really highlighted that.

Tim and Sammie are both awfully manipulative and I think Tim, who I really liked at the beginning, is starting to come across as quite awful.

That wicker chair being a throne made me laugh.
#self-inflated ego

I don’t Tim is awful, but he has sussed Sammie game (or realise things are ringing true) and is trying to counteract it, for the sake of his friends. He is very perceptive.

I agree about Georgina. She is being genuine, and her angst re-Ella shows this, she was caught in a dilemma between Ella and the Revolution. However, it’s weird she’s so anti Woody and Ti,M. Did Brooke really mean her to be so cross with them, or just to say, be careful and you can’t trust anyone.

Interesting that Tim keeps talking about protecting Ella and Woody, but not Georgina.

I think the next two influencers will be Georgina and Tim, both determined to protect allies and with no more neutrals to compromise on. What happens if influencers are in stalemate? Top player gets casting vote? Bottom player automatically blocked? Or will one of them cave?

Sammi caved to Tim earlier. He went in, all guns blazing, convinced he was going to convince Tim to black Ella. He failed. The other two Revolution people haven’t deduced he failed at the first hurdle.
