The Circle USA series 2 (possible spoilers)

101 replies

Tianatiers · 19/04/2021 10:51

Has anyone else watched the first batch of episodes of the new series of The Circle USA on Netflix yet? If you haven’t watched them all yet and would like to, don’t read on as I’m going to talk about it and possible spoilers...

I was definitely team Terilisha so I am glad that Savannah left but they both seemed equally determined that the other was in the wrong so I was getting a bit confused about what was going on there! I wished Bryant hadn’t left but then I’m not sure I wanted any of the other at risk players to go either. Catfishing as a celebrity is a great idea but she really messed up with the question about how he would spend the money if he won. And what is going on with the inner circle??

Can’t wait for more episodes on Wednesday. If anyone else is watching I’d love to hear your thoughts. I don’t know anyone in real life who is as into this show as me, my husband thinks I’m nuts! Where are my people?

I’m here.
I watched all 4 episodes in one night last week. But it’s annoying that they’re only releasing them batch by batch.
I was also team Terilisha. Savannah was quite bold going for such a blatant coup so early. I found her bloody irritating so I’m glad she’s gone.
I need to be reminded of the inner circle - the guy she went to see, Courtney?, he got sent there didn’t he? But we don’t yet know it’s purpose?

Yay! I’m glad it’s not just me watching... yes Savannah visited Courtney as the person she thought most deserved to win and now he’s gone to the inner circle... I’m wondering whether he’ll be able to snoop and stir things up from there? He just sat down in a seat and the end credits rolled so who knows! I wonder who Savannah would have visited if she’d had an open choice? It would have been interesting to see her meet Terilisha, although possibly explosive. At first I thought I was really going to like Savannah but the power went to her head when she became an influencer and she just seemed totally unaware of how disingenuous she was coming across after that.

Yes, that was it.
I agree re Savannah. I thought I’d like her, and then ‘bam’ 👩🏼‍🍳 the pot stirring began.
I did think Terilisha would’ve fought a bit harder for Bryant. I liked him! Shame we didn’t get to see how that discussion went.

ElizabethTudor · 19/04/2021 12:58

Hmmm - that emoji was of the chef with a wooden spoon when I posted it! Don’t know how it’s turned into those above!! ^

I was disappointed that Savannah made that mistake so early. It would have been interesting to see her evolve her game plan. But I was glad it was her and not Teralisha to go.
Love how quickly things turn on their heads.

There's a minute trailer for the next batch of episodes that shows a bit more about the inner circle. It looks like he'll have some power to influence things.

I didn't really understand what happened with the influencers. I warmed more to Savannah but I was falling asleep during the blocking so none of it really made sense as to who was lying. Terilisha seems quite bitchy for a teacher.

I didn't want Bryant to go as I thought he was different to all the cookie cutter pretty girls they usually use and it would have been interesting to watch his relationships develop. Would have been happy with Chloe going. She is too enthusiastic and screamy about everything.

Thai series seems like they're all being totally upfront about game playing and tactics.

Thanks for the thread. Not watched them yet but am checking in. Really enjoyed the last USA series

So we got 4 episodes last week is there one a week now? Don’t want to google but want to binge watch as much as I can

It's 4 episodes a week, so there are 4 available to watch now, 4 more tomorrow, 4 more the following Wednesday and then a final episode on Wednesday 5th May. I considered waiting until 5th May and then having a good old binge watch but I couldn't resist starting them now!

Absolutely love this series! And last! Binged watched it from start!
Definitely team terilishq!!
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes to be out!!!

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 16:27

I’d prefer it if they did 1 per night.
4 a week on the same night is bloody annoying, as I binge them all at once (#NoSelf-Control) and then forgot the nuances, interesting little bits that have happened. Grrrrrrr.

MiddleClassProblem · 20/04/2021 16:37

Savannah was the first to react after the blocking by making it sound like it wasn’t her choice of who went. I hope she hasn’t tainted the other’s view of Terilisha too much but she has River behind her. It’s a shame he didn’t feel he should play as himself as I think he would do well. At least he would in the Brit version!

I don’t like Lance Bass lady. She’s like a bull in a China shop!

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 17:49

See, I can’t even remember who River is!

jay55 · 20/04/2021 17:55

@ElizabethTudor

See, I can’t even remember who River is!
The old man who cries. I think he chose a right odd looking chap to play.
Ontheboardwalk · 20/04/2021 18:02

Thanks 'Tianatiers’ I can handle 4 a week I thought it might have gone to 1 episode a week after the ones last week

See you back here in a couple of days when I’ve watched the first 8

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 18:34

Thanks @jay55.
See if middle had’ve used that description, or called him Lee, I’d have remembered him! Total mind blank over River though!

MiddleClassProblem · 20/04/2021 20:05

@ElizabethTudor

Thanks *@jay55*. See if middle had’ve used that description, or called him Lee, I’d have remembered him! Total mind blank over River though!
Jeez sorry! I didn’t remember his real name as they mainly use their circle names. Plus it would have sounded a bit patronising if I gave that much detail in my post!
ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 20:24

Ha, no, it’s defo me and this stupid 4 episodes thing! I’m watching so manga at once, I just can’t remember them all.
But crying author bloke = yup!

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 20:24

So manga - WTF!!
So many

MiddleClassProblem · 20/04/2021 20:34

I rarely remember their real names. Even with the Brit one I never learned many of the catfishes’ actual names but there were so bloody many! I knew who Hunter was though.

MiddleClassProblem · 20/04/2021 20:34

Forgot my emoji so now you get two! 😂😂

ElizabethTudor · 20/04/2021 20:47

Ha ha, thanks!!
Yup, as a massive Gladiators fan I defo remembered Hunter too.

I've just watched the first of the next four episodes. Wondering if Mitchell and Emily are going to be the USA version of Manrika and Felix 😂

Anyone know if they have done reaction videos for blocked players. I did a quick flick through Twitter but didn't see anything. But also didn't want to look too closely in fear of spoilers.

MiddleClassProblem · 21/04/2021 14:31

I’ve only seen on Twitter Savannah and Terilisha watching truth or dare and they weren’t surprised who anyone was so knew already plus they barely said anything so it was a really boring watch lol.

They may not have filmed it which is lame.
