The Circle - who’s watching?

[Standrewsschool]

The first three are wannabes.

Hunter - trying to revive his career.

Oh ok maybe there is much just based on articles on line I thought there wasn't.

I think The Circle is the new BB just because they all seem relatively unaware or at least unable to hide their true feelings. Which makes it great to watch as a modern social experiment.

I’m so disappointed in Andy for not sticking up for Billy, especially as he seemed so with it up to that point - now I think he’s getting power hungry. Gemma is pissing me right off - I don’t care how much he’s giving to the NHS, to go on and pretend to be a nurse for likes is grotesque, as was getting Billy blocked.

Loving Tally & Syed. Poor Manrika - she’s been truly catfishes but good god I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman than Felix!

I think Natalya is a hypocrite. All that "how awful of Gemma to try and get someone else excluded by lying rather than graciously die on her sword" type nonsense when she is a catfish trying to get in one of the most popular player's good books by fliirting with her. I want her to go next. I think Hunter was just playing the game. He had to get Billy to go. They all lie all the time, the whole game is based on lying to win. Even the people playing themselves lie if they do well in it, even if it's just pretending to like people. You can see that by how much nastier they are when they are anonymous. Billy and Vishnu probably lied least. I don't mind if Hunter goes though as I think his dog carry on is creepy.

I think Andy voted for Billy to go because he realised if Gemma had lied then she would go soon anyway, and he probably thought as Billy was bottom people wouldn't be surprised that he was voted out. The aim is to win, not to be fair and nice.

Manrika is smart enough to be aware that Felix could be catfishing her, but it’s all air time isn’t it. Having a #circleboyfriend (as well as #circlesiblings and #geezergirlsofthecircle ) is setting her up a nice little bit of security. After all she is the self proclaimed alpha female. She’s playing quite a clever game.

I really liked Manrika to begin with but am starting to see a slight mean girl side to her. She is clearly used to being the popular one or leader in her own circle of friends and came to this circle expecting the same status. She’s slipping down my ratings I’m afraid.

1st Id lock in either Vithan or Felix. Hopefully there is a place for softly softly in the circle and not just shouty screechy.

Feel a bit meh about Gemma and Dot. Warming to Tally, Uncle Sayed is a bit of a characature but they all seem to love him. I’ve missed someone haven’t I?

Dot’s gone way up in my estimation. That Tally picture is well funny!

Enjoyed Dot's picture too and Vithin, not his usual move.

Oh no, I feel so bad for Tally - I think she struggles with the lies against her a lot.

Seriously though Natalya....beautiful and artistic??

People on Mumsnet love to diagnose someone as neurodiverse from a few posts but I have to humble brag that I pegged Tally as having ADHD from the first episode.

I've stalked Natalya's insta. She has a boyfriend. #gutted

That'll be Dot gone then, which doesn't do anything to shake up the game.
I do appreciate Manrika's game playing today.

I'm still watching even tho its annoying.

@bitheby

Why you gutted ?

Because she's gorgeous and intelligent and talented (and two-faced but we'll ignore that) and we were going to fall in love and get married and live happily ever after.

Not now.

I’ve officially given up with it now I think. I can’t be bothered to stay up to watch the entirety of it. The majority of the players are annoying and I don’t find any of their interactions engaging. It’s so disappointing as I absolutely loved the first 2 series and the celebrity version. I can’t really put my finger on what’s changed but it’s just not the same. 😰

I have a feeling Tally could go! Gutted

I'm going to watch this one to see who goes and then I'll probably stop, and just catchup on the main points online.
Unless someone new arrives.

So are they all going to vote on which if the two are blocked? No influencers this time? Interesting.

Ashamed to say I quite enjoyed last night's. Though exasperated that 'Gemma' is still there.

which of the two ...

I'm wondering if there's going to be another game of sorts as they've said either Dot or Tally will be blocked in 24 hours, if it was just a simple vote surely it would be done immediately? There must be a reason they have 24 hours.
I think Dot will probably go as I can't see many people voting for Tally, it will be interesting to see what 'Felix' does, I feel like he is closer to Dot but would he keep Tally safe as he knows she is close to Manrika and doesn't know the extent to which Tally doesn't like him?
Gemma/Manrika/Syed and probably Andy would keep Tally safe though I think.

Ashamed to say I quite enjoyed last night's.

Why ashamed? Your opinion is as valid as anyone's.

Gemma's assumptions are really getting on my tits now.

Natalya is indeed beautiful! I can see why she chose not to be herself. Clever woman.

If it's a secret vote I could see Syed voting for Talley to go. As she's the bigger threat to winning.

I'm a bit worried it might be a game. If it's a vote I'd be surprised if Tally left but a game would be much more down to chance. I'd feel really sorry for Tally if she left at this point! Though it would be interesting to see if it humbled Manrika a bit, she'll feel even worse about that decision when she realises Tally was right about Felix.

@jay55

He did specifically say he was going to make sure she stays until the end because she said she wouldn't mind if he was a catfish, though. I think there's quite a few people convinced she has their back who would vote for her to stay.

I wonder if they'll make them all come to a unanimous decision in a group chat, a la celebrity circle, or if they won't as that's already been done. That'll cause the most drama though. I feel Tally is safe. I think the only one who'd vote for Dot to stay is Felix, and even then I don't think Natalya would stick her neck on the line to do that and basically throw Felix under the bus. I guess we'll really see how much integrity she has!

The only one I liked was Billy, can't stand Hunter. Something off about him!!
