The Circle - who’s watching?

The first three are wannabes.

Hunter - trying to revive his career.

@jay55

Manrika's feet are full of holes from all The times she shot herself in that conversation.

😂😂

Manz comin in with that Jesus energy Bruv !

Priest Tom reminds me of Tom from McFly in the picture

Why when people say 'self love' does my dirty mind go elsewhere

Love Syed / Hashu.

‘Self-love’ just makes me think they’re all masturbating furiously. I’m sure that’s not what they actually mean.... 🤔

Oh great minds @KarensChoppyBob 😂

Ha ha

I m liking the pippa/joe combo. But think they’re going to have to up their game a lot

Is it just me who'd feel uncomfortable sharing a flat with a someone you'd never met before?
And yes re #selflove 😆

I'd be really wary of the sharing, but cameras everywhere do not like there was any privacy (for selflove) anyway.

Pippa is annoying like her intro to me now she's with Joey.

*so not like, not do.

Yeah I know, I just wouldn't feel comfortable with a looming presence in my personal space 😬

I missed what Manrika said at the end

She basically said she thinks she messed up trying to turn against Andy and that she realised she probably didn’t need to do it and that she’s probably gotten a bit carried away playing the game. Think she realised she’s broken the trust of someone she genuinely liked and who had her back and is feeling bad about it.

@Rummikub

I missed what Manrika said at the end

She said that she's played a game from the start, she didn't mean to do that and she feels that she's got too carried away with this game.

Fairplay, she seemed quite genuinely remorseful about how she's behaved.

Ah thank you both!

I thought her and And’s interaction felt quite genuine. Wonder how long the actual chat was as he came round quite quickly in that!

Surely Manrika just needs to tell Andy it was him or Vithun to get blocked. Job done on getting him back onside

I really enjoyed Andy and Syed's chat tonight, seemed like a real friendship with all the jokes 😆

Just realised something missing which helped conversation last year, the status updates

Hmmm. Convenient timing for Manrika's epiphany about her own game-playing. A little too convenient.

All part of the master plan imo.

Yeah. I don’t believe a word it.
Crocodile no-tears.

• of it

Considering this was filmed months ago and Manrika has no idea how she’s being perceived I don’t think it’s likely she has just conveniently timed her guilt to when the public have started to hate her; if she was aware or considering how the public are likely to be perceiving her I think she would have been acting that way all through rather than suddenly changing how she presents herself at the end.

I think it’s more likely Manrika has been expressing her doubts and anxieties and conscience throughout the game but the producers haven’t edited it in because it makes for better TV to paint her as a ruthless villain. It wouldn’t have fit their narrative to put in the times Manrika has expressed feeling bad about her game-playing. However now that Manrika is getting death threats and being bullied on social media the producers are probably realising how damaging their one-sided edit is and so have changed the way they’re editing the show to be more true and sympathetic to Manrika’s feelings rather than just painting her to be the bad guy of the series without trying to show any other sides to her personality.

I do like Andy, he seems genuine and has done consistently. I think that is why Manrika has realised she may have gone OTT because he's still in, so they've got to the same stage using very different methods.

This is the side of Manrika I like. She's definitely got a pleasant side to her.

Unfortunately, Joey and Pippa are out for revenge!

Agree. Manrika has realised she's shot herself in the foot and needs to back peddle. She will now start sucking back up to Andy.

Not sure who Pippa/Femi will form allegiance with now they've 'overheard' circle chat and obviously have previous knowledge.
