The Circle - who’s watching?

[Standrewsschool]

The first three are wannabes.

Hunter - trying to revive his career.

Me too. I also used to work with a lovely guy a bit like Uncle Syed.

^ hes alright looking too.

Eff this really is the Manrika show. So bored.

Felix/Natalya irritates me with her "oh my his, I can't believe I gave a girlfriend" act

And Andy "aww, shucks I don't want to be influencer again" than 5 minutes later. "Oh no, I'm not an influencer, that's shit...."

Well that ‘game’ has screwed Andy over.
Which is no doubt exactly what the producers wanted.

And yes, The Manrika Show is getting really boring.

Think vithun will go.

Do people say "my back" as much as they say it on this show?

I do admire manrika's game playing though. Got rid of her Geezer girls. Now gunning for her Circle Siblings.

If they've left it to Andy and vithun, I'd prefer for vithun to go.

Don’t really get why they’ve been so adamant the two newbies HAVE to stay.

Vithun admitted to writing that comment.
Manrika drew snake pic but didn't admit to it.
Double standards.

@oystermonkey think they want to keep in people who they think will rate them high and save them.

@bonfireheart

Vithun admitted to writing that comment. Manrika drew snake pic but didn't admit to it. Double standards.

Manrika lied about the snake pic and Felix is a catfish. Double Double Standards!

This will not end well for Manrika when they find out Vithun is 100% who he says he is...

I know. I’m just annoyed!!! 😂
Thank you though.

@OysterMonkey

And yes, The Manrika Show is getting really boring.

Right? I was glad Andy was down the ratings for a change but the Manrika stronghold is just as annoying. And I've gone right of Natalya for being played there.

It’s why I shouldn’t watch programmes like this, as the really tactical players (ergo the good ones) are the ones I end up not liking and therefore don’t want to win.

It'll be interesting what felix does next, realising how she was played.

I think they’ve made the right decision, Vithun came in last and I don’t think he’s been adding anything to The Circle recently and he admitted to trying to stir things up in their relationship so he was an obvious choice. He does seem like a nice guy but I thought the same of Billy and honestly I didn’t even notice he was gone.

I’m also really pleased they didn’t just go for the easy option of blocking a newbie, usually they get voted out first chance but it makes the ratings and blockings get a bit boring towards the end. I don’t think Manrika or Felix will be influencers next after this and imagine Andy will stay low especially now he’s lost an ally so will be interesting to see who makes it up there next. Maybe Dot and Syed?

Watching on plus 1. Just wanted to say I love hashu’s laugh - so cute

I really don't want Manrika to win. Felix should have supported Vithun over Whatever the new bloke's name is. When does it finish? There are too many people left

I watched James/Gemma/Hunter live on Instagram earlier and he gave some interesting insight into behind the scenes of The Circle. He went into a lot more detail than I expected, I got the feeling that there was some bad feeling there.

He said that they split the day into three filming sessions - morning, afternoon and night with breaks in between. They started around 10am and often didn't finish until 3am. They are limited with how many chats they can have but the chats go on for a lot longer than we see on the show. Apparently the chat with Andy where he admitted being a catfish was about 90 minutes!

Apparently they have production staff talking to them via speakers in their apartments, asking them questions, directing them etc so that's who they're talking to when they seem like they're always talking to themselves. James referred to them as "the voice of God".

He said that the show is quite manipulated by the producers. He gave an example that for his meeting after he was blocked he said he wanted to see Dot but the producers insisted that he should go and see Manrika instead, presumably because they knew that would be the most dramatic meeting.

Not nice

Not sure why they would get breaks? As they have them anyway when they are chilling out/ reading/ puzzles/ eating. Snoozing.
To suddenly stop being filmed or take mics off feels as tho they are actors.
I dislike the constant talking to themselves in OTT way and big hand gestures like Andy and Hunter did when sending messages.
Didnt like Vitham lots but he seemed low key and himself not putting on act
And not shouting!
