The Circle - who’s watching?

[Standrewsschool]

The first three are wannabes.

Hunter - trying to revive his career.

Me! They all seem pretty irritating so far 😂. Although I thought that on the american one and grew to love ones I didn't in the beginning so fingers crossed!

They're all a bit loud.

I'm really disliking accountant boy.
Love the one playing the older man.

Surprised the gladiator could have his dog with him. Do production walk it?

I have got drawn in - don’t mind the brummies. Not taken to the receptionist or the father/daughter. Think pretending to be a nurse might spectacularly backfire at some point.

I'm watching it tomorrow as DH doesn't want to watch and id rather watch in peace!

Just starting it now.
I like Emma’s dress.

I’m enjoying it. Liked the twist at the end of the first episode

I like Vithun the most at the moment. Don’t really like any of the women so far. I used to move in the same social circles as James Crossley (aka Hunter) about 20 years ago and one of my friends dated him briefly. Was a bit of a knob and very self-obsessed. Think he’s getting quite a bit of stick for cat-fishing as a nurse given the current climate. IIRC there was a previous contestant who pretended to be an Oncologist but I think she might have been the first to go.

Yes, a lady in the first series (I've just finished that one as I hadn't seen any of The Circle before). She was booted first.

I liked the twist at the end but not sure how it will play out...it'll be interesting to see.

I like the family guy best, the one with the picture of his kids. He seems quite genuine. I think Vithun will play a good game as he seems to be himself. I think the guy playing Syed will slip up and come across much younger than the 63yr old he's supposed to be!

Yes, I agree re Hashu (Syed).
He was very shouty and excitable.
Calm down lad!

I agree that the different twist with Chris / Yolanda was good. Interested to see who she will pick to clone, and how that will work.

Will she replace that person, or go back in alongside them?

I think they should pick the father daughter pair's character. There is already suspicion she's a catfish and she's so generic it would be easy to make her a bit more sympathetic/realistic.

Just catching up with it now.....love a bit of Hunter

I’m liking this twist. 👍🏻

Crazy crazy.

Really don't like the twist. Don't like Yolanda.

I feel like these threads exploded last year and now they're ( in comparison) slowly moving

But for what it's worth I said it in the celebrity version and it's already coming up again. I really dislike they're trying to big brotherise it

DS2 and I are watching, although we've only seen 1 episode so far (have there been 2 or am I going mad?)
Like 'Syed' so far, although I thought he was going to be annoying. Also like Vithun, he reminds me of Shubum from the American one. Loving the twist!

I don't like Yolanda either...or the twist
Hope she goes very soon

Two episodes in and I'm already hooked. This show is so good. I love the twist but I wish Yolanda had picked a catfish to clone. I was hoping she'd pick to be Rachel. Penny would have been a really easy choice but as she wasn't very popular not much chance of winning as her, although maybe Yolanda could have done a better job of making her popular. How awful are they all going to feel if they block the real Tally!

Just realised it's Gemma not Rachel, no idea where I got the name Rachel from

I’m only a new convert to The Circle. What do you mean by big brotherise it?

@Tianatiers there was Rachel in the Celebrity circle, maybe from there?

I’m not sure how long this clone malarkey is sustainable for to be honest. I think it will dominate and detract from the other players and will become irritating quite quickly. Did they say Yolanda can go all the way through the program as the clone? I reckon at some point they will make them vote between the two of them and block one.

I love The Circle but I wish they’d keep it simple. It worked great as it was!
