The Circle US

[noblegiraffe]

Anyone else watching? I don’t normally watch reality shows but I love this one. This series has been great, Blue and Orange Michelle, Ghost Vince, the two rival factions. And Nick is the best player I’ve ever seen at this.

Can’t wait for the final when the catfishes are finally revealed.

I've really enjoyed this series. I love all of them except for James, and jacki was totally pointless.
I love how scheming Nick is, and how smart Kai is and that she's survived despite the others seeing her as a threat.

The blue/orange Michelle worked so much better than the UK version. And I loved the second profile Vince part.

I like how Ashley/Matthew switches between being totally sweet and totally ruthless.

None of the catfishes are as good as Uncle Syed or Nanna Dot though.

I haven't watched any of the UK version, is it also on Netflix? I've only seen the US ones (loved series 1, thought series 2 was ok)

When Nick lied to James about Daniel switching alliances to nudge him towards blocking him I was just at how brilliant a tactic it was.

I like Kai, and wonder if there's anything in it about how all her alliances were real and all of Nick's are catfishes.

The UK ones should be on All 4.

That was a great tactic by Nick, both blockings with James he got the upper hand. It was brilliant to watch.

Oh, I kept hoping for a thread …

I’ve found this series awfully disappointing. Have watched all but the finale which isn’t available yet. Won’t spoil, but, beyond scheming, I just haven’t been able to discover any personality in any of them. Have genuinely found myself falling asleep over episodes.

Also, even more than in other series, I feel the hand of the producers influencing outcomes. Kai is an attractive contestant - I can see why they’d want to keep her in … Abd this is probably why it’s become dull - the editing may have omitted anything about the contestants that isn’t about the game - so they all seem one-dimensional.

The final influencers’ blocking was intriguing, though!

Ah the scheming is really interesting so I've enjoyed that. There aren't any really big characters like Joey from season 1 (hated him then really loved him) but it is really interesting to hear their thought processes and see how they really are good at constructing messages to manipulate.

What I like about The Circle US compared to other reality shows is that it's a popularity contest among contestants so a lot of it is focused on building relationships and being nice to each other. None of the screeching and tantrums of, say, Big Brother.

I prefer the Circle US. Is there a new series out?

Season 3 on Netflix, all but the finale which will be on Wednesday. V excited.

Great thanks! I’ll be watching that!

Final episode is here!

Oooo about to watch.
Who do people want to win?
Im anyone but James.
I admire all the game playing and so am excited to see how it plays out, without a clear favourite.

Awww that was nice! Not who I thought would win either.

Loved them all meeting the catfish! Poor Nick had a band full of them!

Nick! Oh my, if looks could kill. He Was Not Pleased with Not-Isabella.

I surprised myself with how pleased I was at the outcome.

His smile was extremely tight!

I was very not pleased.
But the dinner was fun. Wish Daniel and Ruksana had made the final.
