Shiny new thread all ready for the final tomorrow night love heart emoji ❤️

Georgina wasn’t honest with Ella.
It was her who voted her out after falling for the plan James has plotted.
I don’t think anyone will put Georgina first, unless James does as part of a game plan thinking nobody else will vote for her.
I think both Paddy and Georgina will vote to put Sammie first.
It won’t matter how anyone else voted then because nobody else will get 3 votes.

I’m glad Georgina now knows that Ella was genuine. People can have lots of good friends
We aren’t children with only one best friend in the whole wide world.

I think the Ella lovers have forgotten that Ella herself said that if she'd been voted the secret influencer she would have got rid of Tim.
She was definitely playing a game too!

As Tim doesn't know about the COT, he probably thought Ella may have been safe from Georgina and she would pick Paddy to go over Ella because they are besties.

This is it exactly, Tim had no way of knowing that Georgina now has an allegiance with Paddy but he knew she was friends with Ella.

I wonder how the real “Sammie” feels now, about having hers and her child’s picture connected to/as the face of such a twat.

I can’t wait to see Georgina’s face when she finds out who Woody’s parents are, she can brown-nose as much as she likes but she can’t erase all of the footage showing her pure spite and nastiness towards him.

As an aside, they seem to have had the same profile picture for ages- they updated them every few days then didnt get another option to change them.
I havent seen the last 2 episodes, so not sure if they were changed in those ones x

Order I would like

Woody
Tim
Georgina
Sammy
Paddy
Order I think it will be tonight
Georgina
Sammy
Tim
Paddy
Woody

If there is a public vote I think Tim or Woody will win that one.

First time I've watched a season and I don't get the point of them just having 3 pictures? They had folders full, you think they'd be able to add more (not talking loads, 10 maybe?) to show what kind of character or even build the person they are.

• Tim was tactical though when saving last night....he knew they were gunning for Ella yet saved woody, there has been no talk of woody being fake etc so he had no reason to belive Georgina would gun for him. He let that happen as Ella was a bigger threat to him but played it as though he didn't want it to happen. He is manipulative but in a different way. As for Georgina she has been real the whole time and is easily lead I think especially after what Brooke said, but Tim was shady there anyway. *

Agree with this. Also agree with the person up thread who reminded us Ella would have booted out Tim as secret influencer.

You’d be bloody stupid to take 3/4 weeks of work and not do everything in your power to get the money.

James is a recruitment consultant, his ability to seal a deal will only works for him on the outside. I also think there are a lot of people, like me, who like him and think he’s embraced the game the best.

I wish I'd been watching it now. I caught a little bit at the beginning so recognize the players and then I watched a fair bit of last night's and I'm hooked and will watch the final tonight. I love the moral dilemma element against the game players and scheming to win. The video from home that touched me most was Tim's and I really like how they've selected a mix of contestants.

Just getting this on my threads. Did anyone cry at the videos or was that just me 😂. Regards James taking his shirt off I remember him saying once that it made him feel more manly and strong 💪 so I think that's why he does all the flexing, it like empowers him or something???? I can't wait to see what happens tonight and the reactions to sammie. People are expecting a catfish but that's very different to having one right in front of you. Like when ella met josh

I'm so excited for 10pm.

Have wine & snacks ready

I'll be glad to see the back of James' moobs - they follow you round the room

I think she said that quite early on, she's since formed a better connection with Tim so I wouldn't imagine her saying that in the last few days.

Oooh first look is up and they're all meeting around a dining table...guess who is the first in the room

The Daily Drop has dropped! I couldn't listen at full volume but safe to say James knows he's got some shit to face. Serves him right.

I dont have a great signal so I can't google. Does anyone remember who was in the final last year? Interesting how 4 out of these 5 are originals. I know alex and Dan were originals last year too

I don't understand why everyone is against James. The aim is to get £100k not make besties and keep everybody else happy. I think James has played a blinder and if the other players chose to believe him or be "manipulated" by him then that's their choice surely?

True @l12d04 but i think it's because people (me!) don't like to see a schemer winning because of their scheming and would much rather see them get their comeuppance!

Where can you see the daily update?

@InvisibleWomenMustBeRead I understand the moral issues behind it, that's probably why it makes it such a good watch. This year has been far more about scheming and tactics than last year was! But if the schemer winning is at catfish... then they played the game excellently. Despite it showing their natural manipulative trait.

You can see the first look on The Circle app

@SpanishFly I think Freddie and Sian? Although there's 5 this year and I can only think of the 4 from last year

Thanks - will download the app now. I didn't watch last years at all, so nothing to compare it to but really enjoying how it pans out. Reminds me of early days BB when it was more about the dynamics of individual people and their relationships rather than wannabe celebs!

@l12d04 I use to like him but I don't anymore, it seems unless he hears what he wants to, he's got it in for you (like woody saying he wasn't going to talk about the money, it was an unfortunate comment but he instantly had it in for him). He's also quite aggressive about the way he's playing now, like yesterday he was beating his chest yelling yes ect when Ella left, was that needed?

You can play a game but not be an absolute shit about it. Like Tim is obviously playing one, he's got rid of two people that were on his side and voting high for him but he's never been vile about them.

My problem with James isn't that he's playing a game. It's that he oozes arrogance and is generally unpleasant. He had moments where I warmed to him but the way he reacted to Woody's innocent comment about money, made me see him as the schemer he is.

I don't believe he will use his money for the greater good. I believe he is very aware there is a public vote and so that story is concocted for the sympathy factor.

@MissPepper8 yeah I get what you mean. He chose to take woodys comment personally when there was no malice in it, and Sammie wasn't the only one mentioning money so it's not like it was directed at her.

I think age comes into play quite a lot with James and although he's not a child, he feels the need to prove himself to be masculine. And I agree, the top off, flexing, chest beating is unnecessary. But I think everyone is gunning for him now at the end when he's being tactical, which is when it counts.

Tim is an absolute joy. Although getting rid of Ella yesterday surely must have been tactical for him too! Excited to see how tonight pans out!!
