It's a new day in The Circle.
Have the players slept off yesterday's drama,
or are we going to get a pedi party?
Please, Lord, say pedi party.
Good morning, Circle.
Oh. Good morning, Circle.
Morning, Circle.
Please tell me you got a breakfast sandwich
ready for me in the kitchen.
Good freaking morning.
I haven't had nightmares like that in a long time.
But hopefully,
everybody has forgotten
that somebody said I was a snake.
Yeah.
That's totally the kind of thing people forget around here, Cassie.
It was a little kooky crazy.
I wonder if everyone else, like, slept well,
because I just did not sleep well.
Another beautiful sleep.
Excited for another day of scheming.
I'mma try to figure out a strategy to get Olivia up out of here.
My whole plan with the Poor-traits game went perfectly.
Maybe someone's got it out for me.
I'm ready to see things shake.
You sure about that, QT?
Because if you want to see things shake, we can make things shake.
Like those footsteps coming right at ya!
No way.
I feel like I'm in a dream. Like, this does not feel real.
Holy shit!
The winner has arrived, baby.
What's going on? My name is Jordan.
I am 24 years old. I'm from the eccentric Austin, Texas.
And I'm a photographer.
All right, this photo, this is like serenity.
I'm at the beach.
This needs to be by my bed.
I'm going into The Circle as myself but with a little bit of a twist.
Follow along.
I used to be 300 pounds.
Four years ago, I lost 100 pounds,
and now I'm going back to my roots,
and I'm entering The Circle as Big J. It's time to game.
Circle, set up my profile.
Before I lost weight,
everyone saw me as the friendly giant, the shoulder you could cry on.
With my current personality and my current confidence,
I can easily get mistaken as a douchebag.
So now I'm bringing Big J back
so I can hide my strategy by the friendly face.
All right, Circle. Open the photo dead in the middle.
This photo gives, like, a good energy, right?
It's giving, "Let's be friends."
Going in The Circle, immediately, I just wanna connect with people.
Now, after I've got my allies and I'm ready to go,
that's when I'm gonna start being messy
and spreading information to get other people to go against each other.
That way I'm sitting pretty in the middle until I need to be at the top.
Circle, let's start my bio.
So let's put, "My friends call me Big J."
"Dog dad of two."
"Self-proclaimed modern hippie and huge concert goer."
"Currently living in the big ATX."
"Live with no regrets and #GetItHowYouLive."
For me, this is strictly a game,
and I'm gonna win that money.
At that point in time, my confidence did not link up with that guy.
And I'm trying to tie that together. I think that's exactly what I did here.
And I'm ready. Bro, this is gonna be insane.
What's really insane is that we just don't have one new player.
We've got two.
Oh my...
...word!
Look at this! All right, here we go.
I am Autumn. I am 21.
I am from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and I am a ranch hand.
So nervous!
I'm not nervous to the point where I feel like I'm gonna throw up,
which is a good thing.
I consider myself a redneck 'cause we really have that
"we don't give a damn" attitude and we'll always be the life of the party.
Being a ranch hand, you're mucking poop,
you're feeding cows, you're feeding horses.
If you like to get dirty, then it is the career path for you.
"Alert!" Oh, goodnight. The party starts now.
What do you got for me, Circle? "Welcome to The Circle."
Thank you. [giggling] I'm glad to be here.
Going into The Circle, I'm gonna be playing
my complete genuine, weird, redneck self.
My strategy is obviously to try to build some alliances,
and I am not at all afraid to flirt.
If flirting is needed, I will flirt.
But not for love. Unless there's a blue collar man in here somewhere.
I am weird, genuine, compassionate.
I have that "don't give a damn" attitude, and I am not afraid to get dirty.
I definitely wanna win The Circle,
and I will do everything in my power to do so.
"Northern country mixed with southern charm."
"Let's partay. #Yeehaw."
Perfect.
The OG Circle players have no idea
there are some newbies in town.
All right, let's go. But they're about to find out.
Right after this huge announcement from Kyle.
This is the only way I will ever eat cottage cheese, ever.
-"Alert!" -"Alert!"
"Alert!" Ooh!
Unacceptable, Circle. This better be some good-ass news.
What you about to make us do now?
-"Two new players have joined The Circle!" -"Two new players have joined The Circle!"
This is great!
That's good for me because I need,
obviously, some better friends in this place.
I'm hoping for a Max 2.0.
I need a Max 2.0.
"Welcome Autumn and Jordan."
Country-ass Autumn, hippie stoner Jordan out here.
Bro!
Circle...
...take me to Autumn's profile.
Ooh, all right. Autumn, 21.
She's single and a ranch handler.
"Northern country mixed with southern charm."
"Yeehaw!"
That's my kind of girl right there.
Circle, take me to Jordan's profile.
Aw! Look at him with the nose ring.
"My friends call me Big J. Dog dad of two."
Yes! Yes, Jordan. Yes!
The very first thing that we can connect on
is we're both dog dads.
"Players, today you will all rate each other!"
Flippety-flip, dip-dip!
Oh my God!
That is not right!
I don't like it!
"Autumn and Jordan will also rate
but cannot be rated."
Okay, that's good.
'Cause that's two extra votes for me.
I want to be able to create alliances.
So this is pretty crucial for me.
"You will all compete to be the first to have a private chat
with each of these powerful new players."
I got a country girl in here. I know how to butter them up.
"Pick one of the new players
and write them a private message to get their attention."
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
"The new players will read all messages they receive."
"They will choose only one player each to continue a conversation with."
This message, I gotta say, bro, gotta bring out the real me.
I gotta bring out every freaking thing I'm about.
I think if Olivia can get one of the first private chats,
it's a good opportunity for her
to make a relationship before anyone can shit-talk anyone.
If you don't get a chance to talk to Autumn and Jordan,
you could be going home packing.
Autumn may be just what we need
to go ahead and get in on the girls' good side.
The new players are living that Instalife.
'Cause now that their profiles are set up, they have to sit back and see
who wants to slide in their private chats.
Autumn, Jordan. Autumn, Jordan.
I definitely want to let her know that this country gal has got her back.
We're going to stay #CountryStrong.
Here we go!
Oh! "You have one new message."
Take me to the message, please.
Cassie! She is beautiful.
"So glad another country gal has entered The Circle."
"I was feeling extremely lonely."
"I know we can be #CountryStrong together."
"You ain't got to worry about a thing with me."
"I've got your back."
"Red heart. #BluegrassAndRockyTop."
Stop!
There ain't no better way than to win her over
than with her own slang.
I feel good about this.
She's reeling me in.
She's reeling me in right now.
All right. This first message is super, super important.
I want to make Autumn laugh. I want her to feel comfortable.
But then I also want to let her know
how big of a player I am in this game right now.
"You have one new message."
Paul!
Okay, Paul!
"Autumn! My favorite season."
"I've been crucial in the major moves thus far."
"I've got the inside scoop and some sprinkles."
"Ready to spill the beers."
"Let's line dance to the winner's circle."
"#Yeehaw." Okay.
Paul is looking to talk strategy.
The person Autumn chooses to chat with
will end up being the person she rates the highest,
and I need her to rate me high.
"You have one new message."
Are you shizzing me right now?
Is it Quori-Tyler?
"Autumn, you are just what The Circle needed."
"This ranch has been getting crazy lately, and we need your help to wrangle it in."
"I'll bring the tea. You just sit back and relax."
With the clinking glasses emoji.
Oh! Okay.
I like puns, too, Autumn.
And now you got to choose which player you wanna lasso
for your first private one-on-one chat.
This is tough.
Okay.
I am going to continue the conversation with...
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
- Oh my God! - Who's she gonna pick?
No!
-"Autumn has left the chat"?! -"Autumn has left the chat"?!
All right, message.
"Paul! Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point."
"How ya doing? Question mark."
"So darn excited to be chatting with you."
"You had me at beer and line dancing."
With beer clinking emoji.
I gotta hit Autumn with some major tea
that's gonna, like, really put me at a leg up when she does her votes.
Give me something good!
Message, "I love a girl that gets her hands dirty."
"So let's get gritty. Watch out for Lauren."
"She's definitely stabbed a lot of people in the back."
"The biggest fish on the hook right now is Kyle,
and there's a Circle romance between Myles and QT."
"Cassie has proved to be a snake in the grass,
and poor Olivia is lagging behind."
"#BeersHaveBeenSpilled."
Send message.
Okay, that is a lot, a lot of dirt.
Which I do love dirt, but that's a lot of dirt.
Is Paul being truthful right now,
or is he just using this to get me on his side and his side only?
Message, "Well, holy shit!"
"Exclamation point, exclamation point."
"You done spilled the entire keg! Exclamation point."
"Thank you for all the juicy details. Beer has been spilled."
"Thank you for your service."
Yes! I feel like Autumn feels like I done said errything. Errything!
Talk about leaving no crumbs. You ate it up, bro. You ate it up, bro.
The fact that he said that Cassie is a snake,
that I really need to keep an eye on,
considering her and I had a lot in common.
Two country blondes in The Circle might just not be able to happen.
And if there's only gotta be one, it's gotta be me.
Don't worry, Autumn.
This Circle town is big enough for both of y'all.
Now time to see who wants to serve a little tea to the Big J.
It's really important that I message Jordan first,
because I want him to know that dog dads, man,
we are loyal to a fault, know what I'm saying?
I feel like with that connection right there,
automatically that's gonna mean that he's down for me and he'll rate me higher.
"You have one new message."
Okay. Let's see this message. Let's get this game going.
Kyle!
"Jordan, with three exclamation points."
"My fellow dog dad, dog emoji."
"TBH, this Circle game is no bullshit."
"Last night, all gloves were off and people threw mad shots at everybody."
"I'm not someone who's going to lie to your face."
"If you're looking for a dude that will keep it 100, #ImYourGuy."
Kyle. He's definitely the jocky type.
Do you think naturally this guy
in the real world is going to hang out with Big J?
I definitely think I want to have a private chat with Jordan.
If Jordan is anything like Brandon,
then I know how to talk to him.
He just seems like someone not only my BFF Olivia
but Brandon can connect with as well.
Olivia. "Hey Jordan."
"OMG, you look so much like my BFF back home."
"You better watch that sweater closely, 'cause I see myself in it."
"Crying laughing emoji. #SweaterSwap?"
Um, no, that's my sweater.
I feel really good about this message.
I really do. I think Jordan would want to talk to Olivia.
Sweater swapping is a big no for Big J.
Maybe Lauren will have luck with the sweater she's knitting.
In this message, I want to seem really fun and interesting,
and I think that Jordan is the perfect person
to start off on my side.
Okay, Lauren's a vibe.
"Jordan, exclamation point."
"I was instantly drawn to your profile because we have oodles in common."
"She's also a dog dad of two, concerts give me life,
and I fight the good fight for human rights."
"So excited to get to know you. #IncredibleVibes."
I feel like Lauren and Big J would be friends.
I ain't country. I'm a city boy.
Pull up to Big J's private messages!
Take me to my next message.
All right, Myles. Myles looks like a bro.
"Need a friendly chat,
because I was doomed with deciding the last blocking."
"Let's kiki over some tea and tell me if I'm bugging over this fire goss."
"#YouWontRegretThisTea."
Okay. He has popularity in The Circle.
He was an influencer. He wants to spill some tea to me.
That's a really good thing.
Oh. Oh! We got some bubbles out here.
Yo, okay, Jordan! Big J!
"Myles, in all exclamation points."
And maybe add a couple S's on there. Like, "Myles!"
"OMG! I'm all ears for you. You're all I have in The Circle."
"So what's on your mind?"
"#WhatsTheTea." Oh, this is great!
I'm his first connection.
He wants the scoop.
I got to give him something juicy.
Ah!
-"Jordan has left the chat." -"Jordan has left the chat."
That sucks!
Bro. If you want somebody to keep it 100 with you
and just be real about it, I'm that guy.
But I guess he didn't want that.
This is really gonna help influence my game.
This has the chance to either make me look good,
solidify a friendship.
If he thinks I'm being a little too sloppy,
giving out too much tea, it could really play me the wrong way.
Message, "My boy! Love your energy. Fire emoji."
"Please keep this on the low, low, as I'm being vulnerable telling you this."
"Laughing face emoji."
"One, Paul has been playing a messy game."
"#BadStrategyOrCatfish."
"Two, I've been flirting with QT, but I haven't found a Circle bestie."
"#WaitingForYouBigJ."
"Three, Lauren lost her two main allies
and then was called two-faced in the Circle chat."
This is exactly what I need. The tea is hot. The Circle is on fire.
It's telling me that Paul and Lauren, not good on his list.
Message, "My boy! I love you being honest with me."
"Gotta follow your heart in this game."
"And I get great vibes from you... Dot, dot, dot."
"Trust me, it's noted." With eyes emoji.
"#YouGotACircleBestieInMe!"
Yes!
This is perfect. And now he knows some of the tea.
Sounds like I'm now Circle besties
with someone that has a lot of power in this game,
and I'm ready to take over that power.
Now that Autumn and Jordan took a little dip into the drama,
it's time for them to take the plunge in their very first Circle chat.
Circle, message,
"Still in shock that I am here with all of y'all."
"I already feel so welcomed."
"Beers on me."
"Any tea that needs to be spilled for tonight?"
Send message.
I'm curious to see if anyone takes the bait.
Oh shit.
We got tea? Already?
That's my girl. Let's go.
Well, Autumn, if you would've came to my private chat,
I would've spilled tea.
That's a little too messy, girl. You came in here too direct.
I'm about ready to be like,
"I hope you brought some detective gear,
because there's a lot of phonies in the house."
I'm here to make some big moves, get my name out there.
So I say, let's just go for it.
Message, "I just want to mention that after last night's game,
I feel like some people have some explaining to do."
"LOL." Throw an eyeball in there.
Oh snap!
- Bang! - Oh, that's a call out for sure.
Tell them, Cassie! That was good.
Myles told me, you know, he was willing to tell The Circle
that I wasn't a snake.
I wonder if he's actually gonna do it or not.
I feel I gotta own it.
Message, "Yo, I painted the poor-trait of Cassie."
"#IThoughtItWasARoastSession. #ThatWasFunny!"
This is getting juicy!
Ooh! Wow.
Wow!
Myles is messy.
Myles has proven that he is a man of his word.
So that's good.
I'm really-- I'm really happy with that.
I really wish I was able to see what went down last night,
because it sounded like there was a lot of shade.
I want people to think that Big J is, like, freaking out.
Like he's this nice guy that just jumped into a pool of chaos,
and he's overwhelmed.
Message, "Girl, it's like I just got off a carnival ride and my head is spinning."
"I don't wanna make a mistake in the ratings tonight."
"Can anyone help me out? Question mark."
Good for him. Good for him. I mean, please do tell,
'cause that'll help me too.
I think it would be very easy to just throw people under the bus right now,
but that's not who Olivia is.
We need to start thinking, like, here, and not just here.
Message, "It's hard to figure out what is real! Exclamation point."
"All I can say is, we have to rate with our hearts."
"Last night was crazy, and it's a lot of negative energy."
"#ItDoesntHaveToBeThisWay." Aw!
What a good message, Olivia.
Everybody's trying to save themselves.
This game might be too cutthroat for Olivia.
You can't tell me that everybody sitting on their bed
or their couch right now is like, "Oh, I'm gonna play with my heart."
No, they ain't.
Message, "At the end of the day, this is a game."
"Everyone has a strategy... Dot, dot, dot."
"Keep that in mind when going into ratings."
Cassie, like, why are you trying to be this sus girl out here?
Wow, Cassie is gaming.
Cassie is a gamer.
I think Cassie is a snake.
Message, "Thank y'all so much
for all the information! Exclamation point."
"I have a lot to think about."
"#RealOnesStickTogether."
Amen, Autumn.
I honestly could not have said it better.
Girl, you're fake as your--
Get out of here.
There ain't no way somebody from Tennessee
ain't gonna come say hi to a girl from Kentucky.
Ain't no way.
That's some solid logic, Cassie.
Meanwhile, Olivia feels bad about saying Kyle was AI yesterday.
She hopes the chat will get her out the doghouse.
"Olivia has invited you to a private chat."
After throwing shots at me?!
Girl, you on my number one enemy list right now.
But she got some balls sending me a private chat.
In more ways than one.
Yes! Okay.
At least Kyle didn't deny me. Oh.
Message, "Kyle, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings."
"That was not my intention at all. #CanWeTalkThisOut?"
I do want to know what is she trying to get off her chest right now,
to see maybe if she is somebody that I can hash this out with.
I have to figure out a way
that I can get in her good graces so she doesn't rate me low.
Message, "What's up, O?"
"I really believe that we did get off on the wrong foot."
"#WouldLoveToTalkItOut."
"Can I start by saying, 'Hi, my name is Kyle.' Heart emoji."
Send message.
They always say, "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer."
Message, "Nice to meet you, Kyle."
"I'm Liv." And then heart emoji.
I think that's just showing Kyle, like, I'm willing to start over.
I'm willing to start fresh.
"I feel like I misjudged your photo,
'cause I wanted to see those abs up close."
"And I regret that, 100 emoji."
"I think we could be a good team."
"I don't know why, I just picture you as a big teddy bear type."
"#AGirlAndHerTeddyBear."
So I'm going to kind of change the subject a little bit
and get deep with her.
I feel like if I get deep with Liv,
she can understand where I-- Where I come from.
Message, "You hit it right there on the head."
"I am a big softie at heart,
and that did hurt when you thought I could be the AI."
"From the very moment I saw your bio, 'My mom is my hero...'"
"...I wanted to have a conversation with you."
"My mom is my absolute everything,
especially since I lost my dad at a young age."
"I lost him to cancer, and my mom stepped up to 'the mom and dad.'"
I understand,
'cause I also lost my dad at a young age.
I ain't trying to be like this in The Circle. Goodness gracious!
Do I tell him?
Because I don't know if that's Olivia's story.
But, like, it's Brandon's story.
And I think it could be Olivia's story.
Message, "Thank you so much for sharing that with me."
"I can completely understand where you're coming from."
"I also lost my dad when I was young,
and I never got a chance to know the person he was."
"I'm so grateful that I have someone I can talk to about that."
"#WeHaveALotInCommon."
I was not ready for that. At all.
Oh shit, bro.
Don't do it, fam. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.
Message, "Olivia, I'm not gonna lie to you."
"This has been the realest conversation I've had in The Circle."
"I had no idea you lost your dad as well."
"You seriously have me in tears, because I feel your pain."
With the tear emoji.
"#YouAreSpecial."
"You just showed me a side to you that I'm going to #Cherish."
"#Speechless."
Kyle, I'm speechless.
Message, "Oh, the tears are flowing over here as well."
"#BondedForLife. Heart emoji."
And send message.
Hell yeah, we are, Liv.
We really are.
Damn, I like Liv, man.
Liv's something else.
Going into this conversation,
I was so concerned about the picture,
and it just...
It's like it didn't even matter.
Kyle seems like an amazing person.
The players are prepping for the approaching ratings
by being silly...
...sweating it out... Ooh!
...scheming,
and carb-loading.
But ain't none of them ready for a slice of what The Circle's cooking.
- Oh! - Oh!
"Alert!"
Oh my God, please don't tell me this is the ratings already!
#TooSoon!
Oh golly, what do you have for me now, Circle?
It is too much for one day already.
"Players, you must now rate each other."
I could be going home. Being honest might have worked against me.
It's anybody's game right now.
"Sixth place is your least favorite."
I think that this time, going in, I'm going to flip-flop it.
The person who I would typically put in my sixth place,
they're actually going to go
in my first place.
If I vote everyone low
and they vote me high,
I should come up on top.
I should be the influencer.
Right?
And thank you, everyone, for listening to Cassie's TED Talk.
Hopefully, all of my work that I've been putting in
for the last few days pays off.
"As new players, Autumn and Jordan can rate but cannot be rated."
Thank God!
Perfect. We live to see another day, Jordan. We live to see another day.
I hope Jordan's got me. You said we were gonna be Circle besties.
Let's see if you deliver.
I'm about to see what people think about me now.
I cannot mess it up.
So, Circle, take me to my ratings. Circle, take me to my ratings.
Hopefully, they're not my last.
Kyle and Olivia had an incredible conversation today
that just really touched my heart.
So, Circle, please lock Kyle into my first place position.
It was really brave of Kyle to share that with me,
and I'm glad that we could bond over that.
Circle, lock in QT in my first position.
You are my girl. You're my circle boo.
I know if you get into an influencer position,
it would look really bad if you sent me packing.
I want to put Paul.
It's a bold choice, I think,
but he's the only one I've gotten to private chat with so far,
and he gave me a lot of tea.
Circle, I'd like to place Quori-Tyler in my first position.
She seems really well-liked in The Circle,
and I would be interested to see her in a position of power.
Put Kyle in my first place position.
Normally, I would have wanted to put Olivia at my first,
but I'm flipping this, because I've not gotten to know him
on a personal level whatsoever.
So it would make more sense to put him there
versus at the bottom, 'cause I'm trying to flip this thing.
Recently, I've been having great chats with Kyle.
He also told me that if he was ever influencer,
he would keep me and Myles safe.
Okay, Circle, put Kyle in second position.
Circle, lock Cassie into my third place position.
Circle, I would like to place Myles in my fourth position.
I don't want him taking any more control over the game,
'cause he's someone I'm definitely gonna need out of here.
Circle, place Cassie in the fifth position.
I told you I got your back. This is as best as I can do.
Fifth up is going to my sweet Lauren.
Circle, put Olivia in my sixth place.
It makes me sick even saying it, but, Circle, please put Olivia
in my sixth place position.
I'm hoping she gets rated lower. That way, I can get rated higher.
I know that's so selfish, but it's a game,
and I wanna win!
Circle, lock in Paul as my sixth place rating.
Okay, Circle, submit my ratings. Circle, submit my ratings.
"Ratings complete."
"Ratings complete!" I'm nervous.
I am not... [sputtering] ...even going to lie.
Like, I am so nervous.
I think we're okay. But this is The Circle.
It's unpredictable.
Hopefully, my master plan works.
And I'm ready for some pizza. Starving.
The number of steps in your strategy
definitely deserves some carb-loading.
I've been here long enough to know that after ratings,
players always think about what they'd do if they get blocked.
I got strong legs.
Kick a hole in a wall.
But to avoid a blocking, players need many skills.
Self-reflection...
...strength...
...attention to detail...
Step...
...and the ability to bend...
And... ...the truth.
...down. Okay.
Cassie, though, she keeps it cool.
What does a cucumber even do for your eyes, anyway?
Like... they're cold.
Up until like two years ago,
I had no idea that a pickle was a cucumber.
When they told me that, I didn't believe them. I had to Google it.
Sure enough, they were right.
So, I feel like Cassie is kind of freaking out a little bit right now.
So, Circle, please open a private chat with Cassie.
"Olivia has invited you to a private chat!"
I'm super anxious to see what she has to say.
I wonder how she rated me, because I rated her really low.
But she doesn't know that. Okay, so I'm going to go in. Conscience cleared.
I ain't going to rat on myself.
So, Circle, open the private chat with Olivia.
Message, "Hey, girl! How're you holding up? Question mark."
"#YoureMyGirl. Heart emoji."
And send message.
Oh God!
And I literally just rated her at the bottom.
It makes me feel awful.
But at the same time, this is a chance
for a lot of money that could change my family's life.
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes to bring the money home.
Okay. Message,
"#FreakingOut."
"How are you feeling about the new players that entered today
and the fact that they are rating us?"
Send message.
I am also freaking out, because who knows?
Um, message,
"Freaking out for sure! Exclamation point."
"This is the part of the game I don't love."
"I hate that two people who don't know us
have the fate of our games in their hands. Sweating emoji."
"Where do you think people are going to rate us? Question mark."
"#RatingFeelsAllOverThePlace."
"Where do you think people are going to rate us?"
Well, I don't know. And if I knew,
I probably wouldn't be freaking out as much as I am right now.
Okay, message,
"I wouldn't think twice about it if I were you."
"Everybody knows you're the real deal. #TrustMe."
"Ultimately, it's up to the influencers."
"I've just got my fingers crossed that it's me and you."
"If not, then hopefully one of us don't get blocked."
"#WeGotThisGirl. #DontSeparateTheBlondes."
I think this is perfect.
Jeez, I feel so guilty for rating her so low.
I wear my heart on my sleeve, so Olivia wears her heart on her sleeve,
and I understand that not everyone's like that.
So I feel like this is Cassie's way of telling me she's got me.
We do got this.
As long as you got me, I got you, girl.
So, Circle, leave the private chat with Cassie.
I think we're going to be okay.
While Cassie is stringing along Olivia,
Quori-Tyler is serving strategic home decor.
Put the puppet master up here. Look at that.
The puppet master. And then my little mug says Quori-Tyler,
just in case you don't know, the puppet master is Quori-Tyler.
Yeah, I think we got it, girl. And you about to get something too.
"Alert!"
It's time!
I hope this alert is not our rankings.
"The ratings results are in!"
"The top two rated players will become influencers!"
I need this power more than anything right now.
Like, it's either become an influencer
or potentially get sent home.
The suspense is killing me. Like, this is so funny.
There's so many fake people in The Circle. I don't know what's real and what's not.
Who's in last place?
Here it goes! Last place.
I can't watch.
Why?!
Poor Cassie! Oh my gosh.
Thank you!
Yeah, she did some damage.
That's such a bummer, man.
I didn't expect that.
This actually doesn't surprise me.
People did not like that she turned on me.
That sucks.
What did Olivia do?
I must have missed out on something really big.
That's really weird. What?
I thought she was really liked by a lot of people.
Oh my God!
Really?
From first to sixth?!
I thought I had stronger bonds than this.
This sucks. This sucks.
Hit me in the jugular.
I can't believe Paul rated higher than Olivia.
I just can't believe that.
Yo, this lining up with my ratings real quick.
It really seems like Myles might be controlling this game.
Really don't want Myles--
Myles. Okay. That... that's good. That's good.
That's exactly where I wanted him at. I wanted him right in the middle.
I was not expecting that,
considering he just won most human.
This is not real.
I'm fine with that. It was a messy day for me.
Oh my gosh. I'm top three.
I hope I'm next. I hope the influencers are Kyle and QT.
I can't look. I can't look. I can't look.
Oh yeah, baby!
Whoa! Yes, it's me! Okay. Okay, Lauren.
This is the best case scenario. I did not want to be an influencer.
Good for you, girl. Good for you!
I'm an influencer!
I'm a freaking influencer!
I guess I really am a puppet master!
Oh my God!
Kyle is number one?!
No freaking way!
I can't believe Kyle is in the first place.
Everybody said that Kyle was fake.
I still feel like I got a decent read on The Circle.
Kyle was the only anomaly here today.
Kyle is the one person in this game
that I don't have information on who they are aligned with.
I still can't believe Cassie's at the bottom. Holy crap.
This is wild!
Sis, we doing something right.
Now everyone's gonna want to talk to me,
and I'll have to figure out who I want to talk to.
My name should have the blue check mark next to it.
Myles drew me as a snake, and now look.
I went from fifth to seventh.
Like, literally, I am in dead last place.
Myles put a big target on my back.
I think Cassie and Liv have created some enemies.
Liv blatantly came for Kyle.
I wouldn't forget that.
We're at the bottom two.
Historically, the bottom two, one of them is going home.
If they were to choose, let's say, between Cassie and Olivia,
would they rather keep the "snake" around?
And then you got Lauren.
The biggest snake of them all.
"Alert!"
Oh my God, alert already?
I cannot handle another alert.
Oh, don't tell me.
"It's now time for the influencers to decide which player to block." Okay.
Yeah, we know, Circle.
I haven't even gotten a chance to wear my wig.
"As new players, Autumn and Jordan are immune!"
"Kyle and..."
"...Quori-Tyler must..."
-"...go to the Hangout to..." -"...make their decision!"
We're making the decision!
I've worked for this. I'm ready to go. Let me grab my notes.
QT, Olivia brought you into The Circle
and said you were, like, her girl, like...
Girl power, you know?
I hope that Kyle sticks to the bro code.
I really hope that QT and I-- She wasn't just pulling my chain.
I'm not ready to go home. I don't want to go home.
And I don't want to start crying.
You know, I didn't leave my children,
you know, to come here for so long and be away from them for nothing.
You know, that would suck so bad.
With the ratings complete, our influencers, Kyle and Quori-Tyler,
have a tough decision to make.
They're headed up to the Hangout.
Oh!
And make a decision on which player to block.
Look at where we at, Papa!
I am an influencer on The Circle and I'm in the Hangout!
Like, can we just all take a moment for that?
Cheers up, Pops.
This is so nice.
Are you ready? Let's talk about these players, Pop.
So I'm interested to see what Kyle says, but at the end of the day,
I'm gonna try to push whatever I want a little bit more.
I really want her to understand that yo, I'm the big bro,
you the little sis.
I love you, girl, but I'm the big bro.
Olivia is high on my list for who I might want to block.
By me doing the painting to make it look like she did it of Kyle,
it could make this decision easier for me and Kyle right now.
Circle, open influencer chat.
"Yo!" In all caps.
"Exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point."
"I can't believe I'm here with my freaking sister."
"Hallelujah emoji."
"We said we was going to run The Circle, and now look at us."
"#TresFuego. Fire emoji." Send message.
I am just happy to be here with my brother! Okay.
"OMG, Kyle. #LookMamaWeMadeIt."
"Dancing emoji, party emoji."
"Are we the king and queen of The Circle?"
"I'm so freaking excited to be here with you."
"#TresFuegoGoingStrong!"
We strong! Yeah, we strong! Let's go!
Message, "Let's get this ball rolling."
"Now Myles, that's my freaking boy."
"He's been loyal to me, so it's only right that I do the same."
We love this. We love this because I want to keep Myles as well.
Okay, let's see.
Message,
"You already know how I feel about Myles. My #CircleCrush. Heart-eyes emoji."
"The likelihood of blocking Myles is nonexistent."
I want to go straight in for the person I feel like he is coming against.
Circle, message,
"Up next, let's talk about Olivia."
"I know she's been coming for you in some of the chats
and the Poor-traits game."
"As an alliance, we need to look out for any threats
that stand in our way."
"#IGotYourBack"
That way he knows it's not, like, a locked decision.
But if he's thinking about it, then I am also thinking about it.
It really makes it seem like I'm doing this to support him.
Oh my God. But she doesn't know that me and Olivia had a conversation.
"Sis, the fact that you have my back is absolutely amazing."
"#RealFamily."
"But I had a conversation with Olivia today."
"Let's come back to her later."
Okay. He said, "Let's come back to her later."
So there's always a possibility.
"Let's talk about Paul."
"I know he can be a little too much at times,
but I do believe he is a loyal person."
"What are your thoughts?" Send message.
I really wanna know what Quori's gonna say about this.
Because Paul is somebody that causes trouble. He does.
"I'm not opposed to blocking Paul."
"I think it would be the least blood on my hands."
"He's somebody that will put you on blast in front of everybody
without thinking twice."
Which is what gets him in trouble, in my opinion.
People wouldn't be upset with us,
'cause Paul is not afraid to call people out.
But I really want to come across as the guy that
has my boy's back.
Message, "Let's talk about Cassie."
"Were you as shocked as me when she came in last place?"
"But I'm wondering if there's something I'm not seeing."
"How do you feel about her?"
Let me tell you how I feel about her, Quori.
I'm not that big on Cassie.
And the fact that people keep throwing shots at Cassie
just kind of lets me know
that what I'm feeling is real, like, I'm not tripping on what I'm saying.
"She is straight #Sus to me."
Now I feel like a lot of people are not loving Cassie.
If everyone else is feeling bad about Cassie,
then maybe I shouldn't stick my neck out too far for her.
Message, "I've been going back and forth when it comes to Lauren."
"I really do like the person,
but the picture yesterday really worries me."
"#FishyOrNah? Question mark."
Send message.
Lauren could possibly be the person I want to block tonight.
I think she's just a little too nice to too many people,
and you can't trust that in a game like this.
You have to know who someone is coming against,
that way you know they're not coming against you.
Circle, message,
"What you're saying about Lauren
is the exact thing that scares me about her."
Thank you, Quori. I've been feeling it.
I feel like she comes across as a little too nice,
and if she had the chance to block someone,
I don't know who it would be.
My goodness. I felt this way, yo.
This is what I'm saying.
It looks like we're down to Lauren, Olivia, and Cassie.
It's all about keeping the #TresFuego safe.
Tres fuego has focused on tres targets,
but they can only choose one.
Okay, it seems like we've come to a decision.
Okay, let's do it.
Someone's about to say, "Adios, amigos."
"Alert!" Here we go.
This is it. I don't even want to look.
Oh gosh. Oh gosh. Oh gosh.
"The influencers..." -"...have made..."
"...their decision!"
- Okay, shit's about to get real. - Okay. All right.
-"Make your..." -"...way to the..."
-"...Circle..." -"...chat."
Take me to Circle chat.
Dang, I ain't never delivered news like this before.
This so nerve-wracking. What are they gonna think?
Oh my God. Kyle's typing.
Here we go.
I hope they understand.
"The Poor-trait game and comments
really weighed heavy on this decision."
I know that this is about me.
I put my foot in my mouth.
Oh my God. I don't know what this means.
I really hope Liv has done enough
to show them that she deserves to be here.
"We have come to a decision."
"This was extremely," in all caps, "hard,
because this person does deserve to stay here."
I don't think that anything that Kyle said has to do with me.
He's my strongest ally.
I think he's my strongest ally.
Oh my gosh.
I don't envy him for having to actually be the one to say it.
I don't know. We were talking about tres fuego.
If QT was playing me, that'd be some shit.
I feel nauseous.
Gosh, I just really hope it's not me.
My heart is beating so hard.
The player we decided to block is...
Please. Please.
Damn.
Send.
