The Circle Series 2!

[ItIsWhatItIsInnit]

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

I think Jay is out (luckily as she’s driving me insane, sick geez) - Richard’s downfall was his lovely conversation with Georgina before he got his mission. I think she will definitely save him. Tim fills me with joy

Glad I've found you all. Loved The Circle last year and am enjoying this one too.

For the record I immediately thought of Zoe Ball when I heard Woody was from Brighton

I don't like Emma's long hair much and I prefer episodes when they focus on the inmates (!) rather than the studio

Does anyone else find that they have a Circle type script playing in their head when they type on mumsnet since they started to watch it ?

She also has two sons but chose to be this one because he's popular. It's all a bit weird.
She doesn't seem to know what makes him popular

I thought Woody would be quickly rumbled as "child of fame" but when only Tim and Jays Mum had ANY clue who Richard Madeley was I realised I was old

I think that was a bit of a harsh realisation for Rich, I mean they were so part of the culture that people referred to This Morning AS Richard and Judy, within a decade it's Who He?

I remember when she married Fatboy/had Woody

I'd struggle to have conversations that are as bland and cagey as they are having. Are personal details being edited out do you think? Georgia seems to be the only one who is having genuinely personal conversations.

Woody is the spitting image of his dad!

Think about how what we see is a highly edited - potentially producer directed 40 mins

If any great chat is happening it's happening in privacy 🤔

Wizzler "Does anyone else find that they have a Circle type script playing in their head when they type on mumsnet since they started to watch it ?" Yes, kind of!

Love this show! I've found my people!

My absolute fave is Tim. I want to go to a gay gin bar with him and discuss Brexit.

Hate jay's mum, she seems thick as mince to me. Agree about Sammie, I get that it's a catfishing show but he seems so at ease with manipulating and lying to people, it doesn't seem to phase him at all.

Yep, I've been lurking so far but really enjoying it! I'm another Tim fan. Who do we reckon gets blocked tonight? I'm hoping it's Jay - I really don't want Richard to be able to give anyone immunity....

Jay's mum - shes so familiar. I know a pp said she was on a dating thing previously but I've never seen that programme. Was she also on something like First Dates?

Last series, they didnt interview people when they got blocked, did they? I remember them being blocked and just vanishing until the finale

No there were no interviews last year and then everyone back for the finale. I don't mind the interviews to be fair but they could be 5 min pre recorded clips! They don't need a whole live show!

If they want to have a load of celebs talking about a show they probably haven't watched make a separate after show that I can ignore like I do all the other ones GBBO style!

What happens if Richard/Judy doesn't get blocked? Does he have to stay in longer? Not sure if I've missed them explaining this

They haven't explained it! I think he leaves regardless they said at the beginning he was there for a fixed time. I think if he gets blocked he picks who is immune next blocking if he doesn't he leaves and nothing happens! Would have been better if his challenge was to become an influencer or finish at 4 and above in the rankings that's much harder than making people dislike you!

Yes @itswinetime ! I even liked the Slebs that were on but my god the live show was tedious! Trying to hard to replicate Big Brother, just show the game, I don't care

Did James ever say whose pictures he was using as Sammie? I've googled and can't see anything and it's bugging the life out of me.
I would have liked to have seen Judy wind people up more, I bet there have been some vicious chats about 'her'

The voiceover said, we have got permission from the real Sammie so no complaints please.

But James doesn't know her and asked to be supplied with single mum pictures

100PercentThatBitch thank you!

We are catching up - a bit behind - dying laughing at the Dick Pics game. Especially Richard describing himself lol

@itswinetime, yes that's what I thought. I like them interviewing them as they leave, but agree that the celeb chat is just more waffle we don't need.
Still annoyed at someone being a mole and deliberately manipulating things through tasks and instructions being given.
I do love Courtney Act, so didnt mind listening to her.
Did anyone notice Emma using the term housemates the other night...? Whooops 😅 x

Tim to win! But I also love Woody.

Tim will win the public vote I think! But I'm not sure he will the players vote you can't predict that as the final rankings the real game players come out!

Getting a bit bored with it tonight

Bet Jay is over the moon that his mum has told the country he’s receding, hence the cap!

I quite enjoyed that one. Except Jay's mum had a faced like a smacked arse at the end! Richard came across really well and I'm liking Woody more and more.
