The circle - final week

[jay55]

New thread, if we can stay awake to find out what happens...

Manrika is doing loads of lives today - she’s on one with Pippa now, and it’s been really interesting.

She explained why she chose Andy - she knew Syed was close with Dot and thought he would save her and she didn’t trust Gemma and nobody was suggesting any of the others (Eg: Vithun) and she thought Andy would probably save Tally. She says she said that and explained her decision making at the time but it was cut out.

She also said in the make-up conversation with Andy after Pippa & Femi left she told him about Triple Threat and that she’d tried to get him blocked etc but that it wasn’t aired.

Did nobody else find it incredibly annoying that Manrika got away with saying "I've been real from day 1 blah blah blah" and Pippa/Femi let her off and didn't call her out for being totally two faced and plotting against Andy? I feel like the "CircleFam" needed to know that!

But really quite surprised at the result!

Does anyone know if the old series are on all 4? Never watched before this season but loved it!

Found it Incase anyone wants to watch too!

Where are all the lives? Is it instagram. Im rubbish at instagram and get pored looking at peoples photos and can never find anything interesting

Yes the lives are on Instagram. Manrika is doing one with Joey/ Femi at 4, one with Tally at 4, one with Scott/ Dot at 7 and one with Hashu/ Syed at 8. There were loads yesterday between other players too and they’ve been really insightful; most of them haven’t been saved so if you don’t catch them live you can’t watch back but the one between Manrika & Pippa this morning was saved and is uploaded to both of their accounts if anyone wants to watch. I thought it definitely showed Manrika’s softer side and she explained her game plan in a lot more depth and why she made some of the more controversial decisions plus the two of them spoke a lot about how it was filmed and what it was like being in there etc. It’s not quite as good as the real show watching all these lives but is at least helping a little with the fact it’s over!

Sorry that should say the life with Joey/ Femi is at 2.

@Happytohelp1 enjoy watching the other series! I wish I could watch them again for the first time. Roll on the USA version starting. This series has taught me to stick with it even if you don't like the contestants at first!

I am almost through episode 1. So not far not enjoying it half as much as season 3 🙈😣

I would also like to know where you find the saved lives on Instagram, interested to have a look at the one with Manrika and Pippa? I've followed Manrika but can't see anything interesting on her profile apart from a load of pouting photos. Wow, feeling old having to ask this...

Which reminds me, I laughed and felt slightly mortified when Manrika said to Syed at the final dinner "what if Felix is a 40 year old woman called Brenda" as I'm very nearly 40 and I don't feel old at all! I apposite know nobody of my generation called Brenda, thank you very much! But I did feel old when she said that.

I think Manrika posted a link to it in one of her stories, or Pippa has posted it on her profile.

I caught the first half of the Manrika/Hashu live thing before my data died while I was out and about! #gutted

They seemed in agreement (the bit I saw ) talking about their bond and their motives.

Haven't managed to catch any of the others but have to say what I've heard about Hunter's reactions so far just makes him seem like even more of a massive man-child.

Also had a look at my Netflix and realised that I actually HAVE watched the first US one but forgot 🙈😂.

What have hunter’s reactions been?

@Tianatiers click on the stories - red circle - around profile pic - that's where you see most of the regular updates and news about going live etc.

All of the players have come together to promote a "think before you post" campaign based on some of the awful comments and messages they've all received. They've put together a video where they all comment - apparently it's something they've done together off their own backs. Fairplay to them, I think it's great.

I've just watched the Manrika and Pippa live (although not live) while cleaning the kitchen. They came across so lovely and genuine, it was really interesting.

Does anyone who’s watched season 1 know if they left messages when they left the circle? Just saw Jennifer go and no message for her fellow players!

Yes they do for some @Happytohelp1, but not for everyone for some reason.

Rummikub I was sent an Insta link to what sounded like a post-filming rant but it was broken (or deleted?) anyway couldn't access it.

Thanks Karen.

I’m still anti hunter.

Apart from his minor tiff with Manrika at the end I didn't have a problem with Hunter. manrika took strongly against the Gemma character for no good reason. Hated the dog licky face thing though. Pets and children should be banned so it's more equal

I don’t really know why I didn’t like him. Just something I didn’t take to. And I’m usually tolerant.

I felt the same about Hunter, just couldn’t warm to him at all and just felt sort of unsettled a bit by him but honestly couldn’t say exactly why.

I liked Hunter when he was in the circle. I didn’t like the way he reacted to manrika at all, I felt he behaved aggressively and bitchy, and I didn’t like his petty glee when she lost. I’d honestly expect better from someone his age and who was used to tv cameras.

To be fair, manrikas hatred of Gemma was very very odd, it bordered on obsessive, but Hunter I just didn’t like the way he spoke to her at all.

I actually think he was annoyed she didn’t recognise him.

Just watched 4 new episodes of the circle usa season 2 Netflix. (4 episodes every Wednesday). Interesting. Not boring. Interesting twists.
