The Circle USA series 2 (possible spoilers)

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?

But understandable given it’s all a Covid hussle.

I like the two new people and dare I say it I like Chloe too, she makes me laugh. That's a shame they're not doing the reveal room on twitter as that was brilliant during the UK series. I was disappointed about the person blocked at the end of episode 6, but then I like all of them so I would be disappointed whoever went. The only one I've been pleased to see go was Savannah.

I’ve just started one Ep 5!

On FFS!
My autocorrect is defective

Sometimes I think that Chloe is Tally, it's the long legs and excitedness.

MiddleClassProblem · 21/04/2021 22:13

I’m just starting the new ones too!

And the shrieking 🙉🙉🙉
ElizabethTudor · 22/04/2021 00:18

I was also disappointed by the ep6 blocking.
There is one person left who I don’t like, but I won’t say who until the others have caught up!

ElizabethTudor · 22/04/2021 00:19

^^ I meant to quote @Tianatiers there.

MiddleClassProblem · 22/04/2021 00:23

I like the newbies!

MayIDestroyYou · 22/04/2021 04:22

@MayIDestroyYou are we watching the same thing because I am loving the USA series 2! I’ve just finished watching the first batch and can’t wait for more on Wednesday. It has had me hooked in from the beginning more than any other series of the circle and the pace is spot on. And the drama! Absolutely loving it. < From the end of the U.K. thread.

BlushGrin It got good immediately after I commented on its dullness! I could hardly wait for the second batch of four, and binged them all yesterday.

Absolutely loved the Inner Circle skulduggery! And another catfish weeping over their game failure prompted no sympathy whatsoever from me. Brilliant bit of exposure from what looked like harmless fun.

jay55 · 22/04/2021 09:54

I wish that the second and third blocked players were the two returning together as a new catfish. They both had strategy and brought the drama.

I like the two new players a lot, they both got stuck straight in. Unlike the Lance woman who is rarely shown speaking to anyone.

The mannequin challenge was a blatant manipulation to out catfish. It was brilliant fun but not at all subtle in who it targeted.

Watched far too fast, damn cliffhangers. And I totally intended to just watch the start of the next episode to get an answer and they cheekily move the reveal to mid show.

MiddleClassProblem · 22/04/2021 10:08

I’m all caught up too. Lance Bass lady is so boring. I bet casting thought there would be a lot more going on there and we’re hugely disappointed.

I like most of them who are left and I think the one who I don’t like I will come round to as they have good allies to bring the best out in them.

ElizabethTudor · 22/04/2021 10:22

Has everyone caught up?
Are we ok now to say who we like, don’t like?

MayIDestroyYou · 22/04/2021 10:34

Absolutely! That would have been amazing and I'm surprised the producers didn't manage to engineer it. Instead we're left with the two people I find distinctly unappealing still lingering boringly.

MiddleClassProblem · 22/04/2021 11:50

😂

jay55 · 23/04/2021 16:54

Who do people want to win?
I quite like Khat now.

MiddleClassProblem · 23/04/2021 17:35

I never really know until nearer the end as someone can just turn into a bit of a dick with power lol.

Tianatiers · 23/04/2021 17:42

I like Khat too, but I think my faves are Chloe and River. Chloe cracks me up and River, although a catfish, seems genuine. Mitchell seems a nice guy.

Who do I want to win?

Hmm ... Not Cry Me a River - too weird all round. Definitely not the newly formed catfish pair. Courtney has become more interesting lately. 'Trevor' ... Somewhat lacking in personality. Chloe is really growing on me! Not the greatest knowledge of her own native language - but she's pretty damn clever at navigating the Circle. I imagine she'll progress to yet another TV game show - so probably doesn't need the prize. Mr 'Contracted to appear topless as often as possible'? Vaguely pleasurable to look at, but his mother and brother were also weird, so I'm a little wary of him. Khat is a star - such dynamism. So far she's possibly the most attractive, but as pp has indicated, things may change before the finale.

jay55 · 23/04/2021 19:15

The new catfish pair are the biggest disappointment to me. I was so glad the dead wood were off.

MiddleClassProblem · 23/04/2021 20:12

It would be ok if she wasn’t there and it was ANYBODY else 😂

ElizabethTudor · 24/04/2021 00:57

It’s too early to say who I want to win as it can all change in a flash.
But I can say who I don’t want to win-
• Courtney - I find him really irritating
• Our new catfish pair - bland, bland, bland

thelostufos · 24/04/2021 01:28

Urgh I'm so annoyed Lance and Emily got a second chanceAngry. I really liked terilisha.

MiddleClassProblem · 24/04/2021 13:19

Yes, I’m not liking Courtney right now but I think it’s because he was led astray by Savannah so there’s a chance he could come back around.

I do feel sorry for Emily Man having to be stuck in a flat with stranger Lance Bass Lady.
