that we've cleared the air, Savannah.

00:08:46,141 --> 00:08:47,901
I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

176
00:08:47,981 --> 00:08:50,941
[Savannah] "If you're upfront and honest,
you'll get the same from me."

177
00:08:51,021 --> 00:08:53,021
She says she'll be upfront and honest,

178
00:08:53,101 --> 00:08:55,341
but how true is that?

179
00:08:55,421 --> 00:08:58,421

we were able to sort this all out.

"Can't wait to talk to you guys later.
#GirlGang."

183
00:09:07,421 --> 00:09:13,621
I'm feeling very optimistic
about today's blocking.

184
00:09:13,701 --> 00:09:15,701
I think I've done a really good job.

185
00:09:16,701 --> 00:09:19,461
I don't know.
It might be bad news for Chloe.

186
00:09:20,061 --> 00:09:22,661
[Michelle] While Chloe holds her breath
ahead of the blocking,

187
00:09:22,741 --> 00:09:27,461
one guy who is not waiting to exhale
is Bryant down in the yoga room.

188
00:09:27,541 --> 00:09:31,341
He's also not waiting
to make a strategic move in The Circle.

189
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:37,261
Oh. "Bryant has invited you
to a private chat."

190
00:09:37,341 --> 00:09:39,221
A lot is riding on this chat.

191
00:09:39,301 --> 00:09:43,221
I can't focus on her saving me.
I need to focus on the connection.

192
00:09:43,301 --> 00:09:45,421
Circle,
take me to private chat with Bryant.

193
00:09:46,221 --> 00:09:47,301
Bryant started early.

194
00:09:47,381 --> 00:09:50,661
Said, "Let me get
to the number-one influencer first thing."

195
00:09:51,261 --> 00:09:52,781
Gosh. Circle, message,

196
00:09:52,861 --> 00:09:54,181

on becoming an influencer.

Cool teachers changed my life.

I'm also a yogi and vegan as well.
We have a lot in common.

201
00:10:05,421 --> 00:10:08,781
Okay, I like how he plays
the "we have a lot in common" card.

I'm happy you had teachers
that changed your life.

205
00:10:15,901 --> 00:10:18,341
That is the goal. Thumbs-up emoji."

206
00:10:18,421 --> 00:10:21,141
"Just curious,
what is a breathwork technician?"

207
00:10:21,661 --> 00:10:23,461
I love that she's interested in this.

It's gotten rid of my anxiety,

So good for when you're
in eighth place. LOL."

you're handling it.

My fear is that

00:10:50,581 --> 00:10:52,861
I thought I had to be
someone I was not, to be loved.

219
00:10:52,941 --> 00:10:53,941
My limiting belief

220
00:10:54,021 --> 00:10:57,141
was I thought I had to work
a job I didn't like to make money."

221
00:10:57,221 --> 00:11:01,741
"And my anxiety was making decisions
that were not good for this world."

222
00:11:02,341 --> 00:11:05,621
I respect that fear.
I think a lot of us have been there.

I was addicted to stimulants and bulimic.

It's great to be open about these things

"Thank you again for asking."

228
00:11:20,381 --> 00:11:21,221
Huh.

229
00:11:23,261 --> 00:11:25,061
All you can do is be yourself.

[intense inhale, exhale]

231
00:11:28,701 --> 00:11:30,541
That explains a lot.

232
00:11:30,621 --> 00:11:33,981
I wouldn't necessarily want
to tell anyone that either.

233
00:11:34,541 --> 00:11:37,301
Sometimes you have
to talk about where you've been,

234
00:11:37,381 --> 00:11:39,901
let people know where you're at,
what you're doing for this world.

235
00:11:39,981 --> 00:11:42,781
I am definitely looking at Bryant

236
00:11:42,861 --> 00:11:44,261
totally different.

237
00:11:44,341 --> 00:11:46,941
I think that he may deserve to stay.

238
00:11:47,021 --> 00:11:50,301
I definitely think Chloe, Courtney,
and River are gonna have to come with it

239
00:11:50,381 --> 00:11:51,501
because at this point,

240
00:11:51,581 --> 00:11:55,661
I'm thinking that
I don't want Bryant to leave.

241
00:11:56,861 --> 00:11:59,981
[Michelle] Before Chloe causes
a major environmental incident,

242
00:12:00,061 --> 00:12:02,381
The Circle wants to play a little game.

243
00:12:02,461 --> 00:12:04,741
-Ah.
-Oh, my God!

244
00:12:04,821 --> 00:12:08,381
Welcome to The Circle's Poetry Slam.

245
00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:11,181
[Michelle]
Thanks, Courtney. And this is a big one.

246
00:12:11,261 --> 00:12:14,861
With Bryant, Chloe, Courtney,
and River, played by Lee,

247
00:12:14,941 --> 00:12:18,541
all at risk of being blocked,
each one of them must write a poem

248
00:12:18,621 --> 00:12:22,141
about an influencer
in the hopes of staying in The Circle.

249
00:12:22,221 --> 00:12:23,541
I can't rhyme.

250
00:12:23,621 --> 00:12:26,941
I can barely put
a sentence together half the time.

251
00:12:27,021 --> 00:12:30,061
[shouts] Oh, my God. It actually rhymed.

252
00:12:30,141 --> 00:12:33,181
What I just said rhymed.
I'm gonna have to write that down.

253
00:12:33,741 --> 00:12:36,101
[Michelle]
The four at-risk must rhyme their way

254
00:12:36,181 --> 00:12:37,861
into the influencers' good graces

255
00:12:37,941 --> 00:12:39,621
using the gift of words,

256
00:12:39,701 --> 00:12:42,941
and they better make a good impression
because one of these poets

257
00:12:43,021 --> 00:12:44,701
is gonna be blocked later.

258
00:12:44,781 --> 00:12:45,621
[doorbell rings]

259
00:12:45,701 --> 00:12:47,141
Each poet gets an outfit,

260
00:12:47,221 --> 00:12:50,541
because, obviously,
we all know that's gonna help. [giggles]

261
00:12:50,621 --> 00:12:54,821
I'd rather loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.

262
00:12:54,901 --> 00:12:57,221
[chuckles]

263
00:12:57,301 --> 00:13:01,541
I don't think I would pull any guys
in this outfit in the club.

264
00:13:02,701 --> 00:13:05,061
[Michelle]
The at-risk poets will get 15 minutes

265
00:13:05,141 --> 00:13:06,741
to compose their creations.

266
00:13:06,821 --> 00:13:09,141
Then the remaining safe players
will grade them.

267
00:13:09,221 --> 00:13:10,101
B.

268
00:13:10,181 --> 00:13:12,181
C and F.

269
00:13:12,261 --> 00:13:15,621
Guys, give it to us.
Please do not make me give you an F.

270
00:13:15,701 --> 00:13:16,541
[chimes]

271
00:13:16,621 --> 00:13:17,981
-Your time starts now.
-[yelps]

272
00:13:18,061 --> 00:13:19,381
Okay, let's go.

273
00:13:20,381 --> 00:13:22,701
I hope the others aren't, like,
magically rappers.

274
00:13:22,781 --> 00:13:25,541
Terilisha
The cool teacher

275
00:13:25,621 --> 00:13:28,701
Okay. I'm okay with that.
That's four lines.

276
00:13:29,861 --> 00:13:32,061
[gasps] For fuck's sake.

277
00:13:32,141 --> 00:13:36,061
When it comes to this poem,
I wanna do something different.

278
00:13:36,141 --> 00:13:38,101
I wanna offer allyship.

279
00:13:38,181 --> 00:13:40,741
I think that'll set me apart
from the other players.

280
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:43,301
Deborah
Savannah banana

281
00:13:43,381 --> 00:13:46,541
I'm going to put "z,"
like "layerz," "playerz."

282
00:13:47,301 --> 00:13:48,741
I feel like a rap God.

283
00:13:48,821 --> 00:13:52,061
"Let not" There you go. "Let not"

284
00:13:52,141 --> 00:13:55,021
[baroque-like music playing]

285
00:13:55,821 --> 00:13:56,701
[Lee] Okay.

286
00:13:58,541 --> 00:14:00,421
[shouts] Time's up!

287
00:14:01,501 --> 00:14:05,301
"Players,
the time has come to poetry slam."

288
00:14:05,981 --> 00:14:07,741
Here we go.

289
00:14:07,821 --> 00:14:10,381
[Michelle]
First to perform their poem is Courtney.

290
00:14:10,461 --> 00:14:12,261
Give us what you got, Courtney.

291
00:14:12,341 --> 00:14:14,181
I wanna see who is this poem about.

292
00:14:14,261 --> 00:14:18,061
Circle, message, "A Sonnet for Savannah."

293
00:14:18,141 --> 00:14:21,181
For me? Courtney, you shouldn't have.

294
00:14:21,261 --> 00:14:23,541
"Dear Savannah, my L.A. sis"

295
00:14:23,621 --> 00:14:26,141
"This crazy opportunity
I don't want to miss"

296
00:14:26,221 --> 00:14:28,181
Okay, big eye roll.

297
00:14:28,261 --> 00:14:31,341
"We both love the 2000s' R&B vibe"

298
00:14:31,421 --> 00:14:35,341
"I'm begging you, queen
To keep me in this tribe"

299
00:14:35,421 --> 00:14:38,741
"We're family people
So I see you very clear"

300
00:14:38,821 --> 00:14:41,901
"I think we would be friends so easy
My dear"

301
00:14:41,981 --> 00:14:45,261
"Choose me from the others
And an ally you will make"

302
00:14:45,341 --> 00:14:48,581
"When we get back to L.A.
I'll bake you a cake"

303
00:14:48,661 --> 00:14:50,181
Oh, I love that.

304
00:14:50,261 --> 00:14:52,141
Oh, I'm fucked.

305
00:14:52,221 --> 00:14:54,741
Girl, I'm really gonna bake that cake
if you keep me around.

306
00:14:54,821 --> 00:14:56,501
That's how you jump it off.

307
00:14:56,581 --> 00:14:59,181
He brought in some elements
of Savannah's personality.

308
00:14:59,261 --> 00:15:01,301
I literally have put in my poem

309
00:15:01,381 --> 00:15:04,661
that if she keeps me safe,
that she will have an ally.

310
00:15:04,741 --> 00:15:08,261
That's not something
that you necessarily want to announce.

311
00:15:08,341 --> 00:15:10,101
That can put a target on your back.

312
00:15:10,181 --> 00:15:11,941
-An A.
-A for Courtney.

313
00:15:12,021 --> 00:15:13,261
A "B."

314
00:15:13,341 --> 00:15:15,341
I personally think
it might be more of a B,

315
00:15:15,421 --> 00:15:19,141
but I gotta make some connections here
with Courtney. I gotta gas his ass up.

316
00:15:19,221 --> 00:15:20,341
Give him an A.

317
00:15:20,421 --> 00:15:21,781
[chiming]

318
00:15:21,861 --> 00:15:23,141
[Courtney] A, A, A.

319
00:15:23,221 --> 00:15:24,581
Woo!

320
00:15:24,661 --> 00:15:27,101
Courtney,
you are working your way back up.

321
00:15:27,181 --> 00:15:29,621
Well done, Courtney.
That was a beautiful poem.

322
00:15:29,701 --> 00:15:31,341
That is gorgeous though.

323
00:15:31,421 --> 00:15:34,101
It must have took him-- Fifteen minutes.

324
00:15:34,181 --> 00:15:37,541
We had 15 minutes. It must've took him
15 minutes to make that. [laughs]

325
00:15:38,421 --> 00:15:41,341
[Michelle] Oo, I can't wait for this.

326
00:15:41,421 --> 00:15:42,621
[screams excitedly]

327
00:15:42,701 --> 00:15:43,821
It's me!

328
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:45,221
Let's go, Chlo.

329
00:15:45,301 --> 00:15:47,421
Serve it up, girl. Serve it up hot.

330
00:15:47,501 --> 00:15:50,701
"My Babe's Ballad."

331
00:15:50,781 --> 00:15:56,021
"Terilisha, the cool teacher
Fiery Leo, I'd like to meet ya"

332
00:15:56,101 --> 00:15:57,021
Holy shit.

333
00:15:57,101 --> 00:15:58,501
She got some rap elements.

334
00:15:58,581 --> 00:16:02,941
"Girl, don't rate me low
'Cause I don't wanna go"

335
00:16:03,021 --> 00:16:05,381
"Like an onion, I got layerz"

336
00:16:05,461 --> 00:16:07,941
"I could be one of your favorite playerz"

337
00:16:08,021 --> 00:16:10,461
This is more like rap,
which I kind of like.

338
00:16:10,541 --> 00:16:15,901
"Gorgeous beauty with the brains
I can tell you're no plain Jane"

339
00:16:15,981 --> 00:16:16,941
Oh, my God.

340
00:16:17,981 --> 00:16:19,381
That's so good.

341
00:16:19,461 --> 00:16:22,381
"I'm sad to end my speech

342
00:16:22,461 --> 00:16:27,181
'Cause, girl, you're one hot peach!"

343
00:16:27,261 --> 00:16:32,501
Chloe, clap for that, snap for that.

344
00:16:32,581 --> 00:16:36,621
I really hope they felt
all that energy through the TV screen.

345
00:16:36,701 --> 00:16:38,221
Attagirl, Chloe.

346
00:16:38,301 --> 00:16:40,741
That's the one
I'm competing with, right there.

347
00:16:40,821 --> 00:16:42,661
-I mean, I'm going for an A.
-A.

348
00:16:42,741 --> 00:16:43,581
[chiming]

349
00:16:43,661 --> 00:16:44,621
[Chloe] A!

350
00:16:44,701 --> 00:16:47,061
[cheers] I'm so happy.

351
00:16:47,141 --> 00:16:49,701
Circle, message, "B."

352
00:16:49,781 --> 00:16:50,621
[chiming]

353
00:16:50,701 --> 00:16:54,661
Oh, I don't like this girl.
You are not dulling my sparkle.

354
00:16:54,741 --> 00:16:56,901
It's crazy that everybody
loved her poem

355
00:16:56,981 --> 00:17:00,101
because I was really in between. Hm…

356
00:17:00,181 --> 00:17:03,301
Maybe I have to, like,
do some reflecting about that.

357
00:17:03,381 --> 00:17:06,981
[Michelle] We ain't got time for that
because it's River's rhyme time.

358
00:17:07,061 --> 00:17:07,981
Okay.

359
00:17:08,061 --> 00:17:10,661
[Michelle]
And he's reciting his poetry to Savannah.

360
00:17:11,221 --> 00:17:14,021
All right. River, it's your time to shine.

361
00:17:14,101 --> 00:17:16,141
Circle, message,

362
00:17:16,861 --> 00:17:20,821
"A Servant's Pain
and A Servant's Compassion."

363
00:17:20,901 --> 00:17:22,181
[chiming]

364
00:17:22,261 --> 00:17:25,981
"I came brokenhearted
And sorely mistreated"

365
00:17:26,061 --> 00:17:28,581
"Fighting my pain of an ex who cheated"

366
00:17:28,661 --> 00:17:31,861
"With you and the others
My suffering has eased"

367
00:17:31,941 --> 00:17:35,141
"The Circle has cured my heart's disease"

368
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:36,821
"Dear Lady Savannah"

369
00:17:36,901 --> 00:17:39,101
"Who all knows has heart"

370
00:17:39,181 --> 00:17:42,101
"Let not your servant River
The Circle depart"

371
00:17:42,181 --> 00:17:45,461
"In you he sees the moon, stars, and sun"

372
00:17:45,541 --> 00:17:49,821
"And lo, this journey we've only begun"

373
00:17:51,021 --> 00:17:51,861
River…

374
00:17:53,981 --> 00:17:54,861
sir.

375
00:17:55,381 --> 00:17:57,181
That was poetry.

376
00:17:57,261 --> 00:17:58,821
That was beautiful, River.

377
00:17:58,901 --> 00:18:00,381
Perhaps the best yet,

378
00:18:00,461 --> 00:18:02,901
-but I'm gonna give it a B.
-I'm gonna give it a B.

379
00:18:02,981 --> 00:18:04,381
A!

380
00:18:05,381 --> 00:18:08,381
He didn't really give me
any new information.

381
00:18:08,461 --> 00:18:11,941
He didn't include anything
he learned about me.

382
00:18:12,021 --> 00:18:13,421
I'm gonna give him a C.

383
00:18:13,501 --> 00:18:15,821
[chiming]

384
00:18:15,901 --> 00:18:18,101
Wow. That's…

385
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:20,221
Wasn't expecting that.

386
00:18:21,501 --> 00:18:23,061
She doesn't like me.

387
00:18:23,141 --> 00:18:26,901
-Oh, what?
-Savannah's kind of a savage, yo.

388
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:30,021
If The Circle has already cured
his heart's disease,

389
00:18:30,101 --> 00:18:31,861
then maybe it's time for him to go.

390
00:18:31,941 --> 00:18:35,221
River, don't take that to heart.
That was freaking beautiful, man.

391
00:18:35,301 --> 00:18:39,141
I think they're only giving him
high scores because they feel bad.

392
00:18:39,221 --> 00:18:42,221
[Michelle] Honey, it ain't no crime
to dig somebody's rhyme.

393
00:18:42,301 --> 00:18:43,221
I'm in trouble.

394
00:18:44,221 --> 00:18:46,701
[Michelle]
Last to face the audience is Bryant,

395
00:18:46,781 --> 00:18:50,101
who also wants
to impress influencer Savannah.

396
00:18:50,181 --> 00:18:52,301
All right, Bryant. Let's see what you got.

397
00:18:52,381 --> 00:18:54,061
Okay, let's do this.

398
00:18:54,141 --> 00:18:56,061
Pretty much talking from my third eye.

399
00:18:56,141 --> 00:18:57,221
Circle, message,

400
00:18:57,301 --> 00:19:01,181
"Eight Lines from Eighth Place."

401
00:19:01,261 --> 00:19:02,221
[chiming]

402
00:19:02,301 --> 00:19:03,221
Fair start.

403
00:19:03,301 --> 00:19:04,301
Catchy.

404
00:19:04,381 --> 00:19:06,021
"It's our time to connect"

405
00:19:06,101 --> 00:19:08,861
"You have the power
To control what's next"

406
00:19:08,941 --> 00:19:11,221
"Oh, intelligent angel above"

407
00:19:11,301 --> 00:19:15,901
"Please save a machine learning to love"

408
00:19:15,981 --> 00:19:18,261
"I'm a balloon about to fly away"

409
00:19:18,341 --> 00:19:21,141
"Grab me and save the day"

410
00:19:21,221 --> 00:19:22,661
I really like that line.

411
00:19:22,741 --> 00:19:26,101
"Savannah, banana, from Americana"

412
00:19:26,181 --> 00:19:29,141
"Go Savannah!"

413
00:19:29,221 --> 00:19:31,221
Mm…

414
00:19:31,301 --> 00:19:32,821
Bryant, what the fuck was that?

415
00:19:32,901 --> 00:19:34,101
[laughs uproariously]

416
00:19:34,181 --> 00:19:36,541
Dang, I should've gave Courtney an A.
[laughs]

417
00:19:36,621 --> 00:19:39,341
[groans]
I'm so curious what they have to say.

418
00:19:39,421 --> 00:19:44,021
The fact that he says it's our time
to connect now instead of, like, before,

419
00:19:44,101 --> 00:19:44,981
I don't know.

420
00:19:45,061 --> 00:19:47,021
It leads me to wanna give him a C.

421
00:19:47,101 --> 00:19:47,941
C, honey.

422
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:49,021
B for bad.

423
00:19:49,541 --> 00:19:52,181
[chiming]

424
00:19:52,261 --> 00:19:54,421
Oh, C. [winces]

425
00:19:54,501 --> 00:19:57,581
I knew Emily would give him
a high score because they…

426
00:19:57,661 --> 00:19:58,941
Two peas in a pod, there.

427
00:19:59,501 --> 00:20:01,301
He's probably kicking himself.

428
00:20:01,381 --> 00:20:04,501
She's scared
to be anything other than nice.

429
00:20:04,581 --> 00:20:08,021
[sighs] Eighth place. Worst poem.

430
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:10,221
Not a good position to be in.

431
00:20:11,981 --> 00:20:14,141
"Congratulations, Courtney and Chloe!"

432
00:20:14,221 --> 00:20:16,901
"You got the best grades
and are Poetry Slam winners!"

433
00:20:16,981 --> 00:20:20,341
Winners! Woo! Yes!

434
00:20:20,421 --> 00:20:25,421
Another one in the basket!

435
00:20:26,061 --> 00:20:28,381
"Please collect your prize from the door."

436
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:29,621
There's prizes?

437
00:20:30,261 --> 00:20:32,181
[gasps] Oh, my God!

438
00:20:32,261 --> 00:20:35,901
[screams] The golden quill!

439
00:20:35,981 --> 00:20:38,621
I love it. It's a gold feather.

440
00:20:40,381 --> 00:20:42,221
"However, the true winners will be…"

441
00:20:42,301 --> 00:20:44,381
"…whoever survives the blocking later."

442
00:20:44,461 --> 00:20:47,141
Yes, that's quite obvious, Circle.

443
00:20:47,701 --> 00:20:49,741
Wow.

444
00:20:49,821 --> 00:20:51,741
I'm feeling okay,

445
00:20:51,821 --> 00:20:54,301
but I'm not so sure about everybody else.

446
00:20:54,381 --> 00:20:55,901
I'm damn glad I'm safe.

447
00:20:55,981 --> 00:20:59,381
I don't wanna go,
but if it's me, it's okay.

448
00:20:59,461 --> 00:21:01,901
[Michelle] You could've made
that rhyme, River.

449
00:21:03,221 --> 00:21:05,261
And with our annual Poetry Slam done,

450
00:21:05,341 --> 00:21:09,421
it's time to ditch those uber retro,
17th-century clothes.

451
00:21:11,341 --> 00:21:14,061
It seems Bryant,
after singing his sonnet for Savannah,

452
00:21:14,141 --> 00:21:15,941
wants to check in with River.

453
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:17,741
And I ain't no Al Roker,

454
00:21:17,821 --> 00:21:20,301
but it's a good thing you put on
that windbreaker,

455
00:21:20,381 --> 00:21:23,821
because a storm of emotions
could be blowing your way.

456
00:21:25,661 --> 00:21:26,941
[Bryant] Circle, message,

457
00:21:27,461 --> 00:21:29,461
"River, let me praise you.

458
00:21:29,541 --> 00:21:32,941
Your poem spoke to me and showed
you had wisdom amongst the chaos."

459
00:21:33,461 --> 00:21:34,301
Send.

460
00:21:35,381 --> 00:21:37,941
"…had wisdom amongst the chaos.

461
00:21:38,941 --> 00:21:41,021
Bryant. I have also been heartbroken.

462
00:21:41,101 --> 00:21:43,861
It's a hard lesson
to learn unconditional love.

463
00:21:43,941 --> 00:21:45,981
Thank you for being authentically you.

464
00:21:46,061 --> 00:21:48,981
I see you and want to get to know you."

465
00:21:49,541 --> 00:21:50,421
Wow.

466
00:21:51,141 --> 00:21:55,021
I'm not actually authentically me.
[laughs]

467
00:21:55,101 --> 00:21:57,301
I'm excited to connect
with someone with good energy.

468
00:21:57,381 --> 00:21:59,101
You've had good energy this whole time.

469
00:22:00,301 --> 00:22:01,261
[exhales]

470
00:22:01,341 --> 00:22:02,541
[chiming]

471
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:06,461
"Planting seeds for friendship and support
through poems and heartbreak."

472
00:22:06,981 --> 00:22:10,261
Oh, my gosh,
you are just too freaking nice.

473
00:22:10,861 --> 00:22:13,141
And when I meet you,
I'm gonna have to say,

474
00:22:13,221 --> 00:22:16,181
"That was 33 years ago
when it happened to me."

475
00:22:16,821 --> 00:22:20,101
Message, "Hate that we're both at risk,

476
00:22:20,181 --> 00:22:23,421
but doesn't mean the end
of this friendship." Send.

477
00:22:23,981 --> 00:22:27,901
[Michelle] While Bryant is busy connecting
with River, who isn't an influencer…

478
00:22:28,461 --> 00:22:30,461
You can't fake authenticity like this.

479
00:22:30,541 --> 00:22:34,061
[Michelle] …Courtney's making more
strategic connections with Savannah,

480
00:22:34,141 --> 00:22:35,261
who is an influencer.

481
00:22:35,341 --> 00:22:36,741
Circle, message, "Hey, girl.

482
00:22:36,821 --> 00:22:39,421
Wanted to say thank you
for the grade on my poem.

483
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:41,221
Meant every word too.

484
00:22:41,301 --> 00:22:43,541
How are you holding up today?
Smiley face."

485
00:22:43,621 --> 00:22:44,861
Send message.

486
00:22:45,581 --> 00:22:49,181
Circle, message,
"Hey, Courtney. Exclamation points.

487
00:22:49,261 --> 00:22:53,621
Thank you…" In caps. "…for the poem.
It was beautiful."

488
00:22:53,701 --> 00:22:55,661
"I'm so happy
you've reached out to me.

489
00:22:55,741 --> 00:22:58,901
I've been waiting to talk to you."
[exclaims gleefully]

490
00:22:58,981 --> 00:23:02,261
I didn't get a chance
to kind of get to know him yesterday,

491
00:23:02,341 --> 00:23:04,501
and I would like to know more.

492
00:23:04,581 --> 00:23:09,821
"OMG. I literally feel the same way.
I'm so glad we have this time."

493
00:23:09,901 --> 00:23:12,381
"Girl, I have some chili in the oven.

494
00:23:12,461 --> 00:23:14,741
I'm missing my quesadillas back home,
though.

495
00:23:14,821 --> 00:23:17,621
What do you like to eat?" That's so funny.

496
00:23:18,181 --> 00:23:21,581
A little chili.
Maybe I can eat all of this. Maybe not.

497
00:23:21,661 --> 00:23:25,541
Circle, message,
"I'm so glad that we're on the same page,

498
00:23:25,621 --> 00:23:27,421
and we haven't even talked that much."

499
00:23:28,301 --> 00:23:32,021
"Just means that our connection
is only going to get stronger." Bam!

500
00:23:32,101 --> 00:23:37,061
Message, "OMG, I love chili,
but it low-key makes me fart.

501
00:23:37,141 --> 00:23:38,341
Laughing emojis."

502
00:23:39,701 --> 00:23:44,781
[laughs] She's funny.
I knew that she would be! Yes.

503
00:23:44,861 --> 00:23:47,021
See, when you just know, you just know.

504
00:23:47,101 --> 00:23:51,261
I saw her, I read her profile,
and I just knew that she was my girl.

505
00:23:52,141 --> 00:23:56,501
"What 2000s R&B do you like?
I love me some T-Pain and Nelly."

506
00:23:56,581 --> 00:23:59,421
Yes. T-Pain's literally my favorite.

507
00:23:59,501 --> 00:24:02,621
Circle, message, "What are the chances?

508
00:24:02,701 --> 00:24:05,461
I'm always down for T-Pain and Nelly,

509
00:24:05,541 --> 00:24:08,021
but I'm still obsessed
with Cassie and Usher."

510
00:24:08,101 --> 00:24:12,141
Circle, message,
"Yes. Cassie doesn't get enough credit.

511
00:24:12,221 --> 00:24:14,381
'Me & U' is still such a bop."

512
00:24:15,661 --> 00:24:19,621
Message, "Courtney, we are vibing
on the same frequency right now."

513
00:24:19,701 --> 00:24:21,581
Woo!

514
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:23,581
"I know you must be nervous for tonight,

515
00:24:23,661 --> 00:24:26,021
but I wanna reassure you
that you can trust me."

516
00:24:27,141 --> 00:24:32,901
"My only hope is that you'll have my back
in the future. #MeAndUTillTheEnd."

517
00:24:32,981 --> 00:24:36,541
That's such a cute hashtag, Savannah!

518
00:24:36,621 --> 00:24:41,261
I think he's gonna love that,
and it gets Courtney on my side.

519
00:24:41,341 --> 00:24:43,981
Circle, message,
"I'm hella grateful we got to kiki,

520
00:24:44,061 --> 00:24:46,621
and do not worry, sis. I've got your back.

521
00:24:46,701 --> 00:24:49,821
#MeAndUTillTheEndPeriod."

522
00:24:51,701 --> 00:24:58,061
Perfect. Yes, we got this. Yes. Yes!

523
00:24:59,141 --> 00:25:01,741
Almost broke my ankle.
Did y'all see that? God. Lord.

524
00:25:01,821 --> 00:25:03,741
You'd have had to call the ambulance.

525
00:25:06,261 --> 00:25:08,541
[Michelle] With friendships forming
all over The Circle,

526
00:25:08,621 --> 00:25:10,781
River wants to check in with Terilisha.

527
00:25:10,861 --> 00:25:12,381
Wonder why that is.

528
00:25:12,461 --> 00:25:17,021
I need to have this chat with Terilisha

529
00:25:17,101 --> 00:25:20,101
because she gave me all those A's,

530
00:25:20,181 --> 00:25:24,221
and she's an influencer, most importantly.

531
00:25:24,301 --> 00:25:25,581
[Michelle] Oh, right.

532
00:25:25,661 --> 00:25:29,781
I've got to get you on my side.

533
00:25:31,021 --> 00:25:32,301
[Terilisha] Oh!

534
00:25:32,381 --> 00:25:35,901
A private chat.
I'm interested to see what he has to say.

535
00:25:35,981 --> 00:25:38,461
Message, "Hey, pretty lady.

536
00:25:38,541 --> 00:25:42,381
I'm over the moon
with how you responded to my poem,

537
00:25:42,461 --> 00:25:48,501
and the outfit was Shakespearean,
so it got me in the mood. #JFTF."

538
00:25:48,581 --> 00:25:50,541
"JFTF."

539
00:25:51,661 --> 00:25:52,901
What does that mean?

540
00:25:52,981 --> 00:25:55,661
Message, "Dearest River…"

541
00:25:55,741 --> 00:25:59,181
[Lee] "What the fuck is #JFTF?"

542
00:25:59,261 --> 00:26:01,021
I won't act like I came up with it.

543
00:26:01,101 --> 00:26:03,421
I'm gonna say what it means.
"Just for the fun."

544
00:26:03,501 --> 00:26:06,661
Act like it's,
you know, young people stuff.

545
00:26:07,181 --> 00:26:09,741
[Michelle] Look at River
making up his own hashtags.

546
00:26:09,821 --> 00:26:11,421
#ISeeYouBoo.

547
00:26:11,501 --> 00:26:14,101
[Lee] I think I wanna ask for advice

548
00:26:14,181 --> 00:26:17,781
because I want
to play into the big-sister vibe.

549
00:26:17,861 --> 00:26:19,301
And you know what?

550
00:26:19,381 --> 00:26:21,541
I think I'm in danger, and I need her.

551
00:26:21,621 --> 00:26:25,301
Message, "JFTF equals just for the fun.

552
00:26:26,061 --> 00:26:28,221
I felt like I did share more.

553
00:26:28,301 --> 00:26:33,181
The break-up happened one week before
I headed to the Circle. #It'sStillRaw."

554
00:26:33,261 --> 00:26:36,381
[Michelle]
River, honey. This story has been #Played.

555
00:26:36,861 --> 00:26:39,661
[Terilisha] "How long do you think
it will take to really get over it?

556
00:26:39,741 --> 00:26:43,541
#AfraidToTrust. #NeedABigSister."

557
00:26:43,621 --> 00:26:47,821
I have no problem, you know,
being a shoulder to him.

558
00:26:47,901 --> 00:26:49,901
Again, that could work in my favor.

559
00:26:49,981 --> 00:26:52,381
No one wants to throw their big sister
under the bus.

560
00:26:52,461 --> 00:26:54,101
So hell yeah.

561
00:26:54,181 --> 00:26:56,901
Message, "River,
what's meant for you will be for you.

562
00:26:56,981 --> 00:27:00,821
#Don'tBeAfraidToTrust.
I'm already a big sister. I have two.

563
00:27:00,901 --> 00:27:02,861
Wouldn't mind having a brother.
Hug emoji."

564
00:27:03,821 --> 00:27:06,981
I will be her brother,
and she's saying it's okay.

565
00:27:07,061 --> 00:27:09,621
Awesome.
She's connecting, and I like that.

566
00:27:09,701 --> 00:27:11,821
Lee is in the game now.

567
00:27:11,901 --> 00:27:15,181
Message, "This is the best I've felt
since getting in The Circle.

568
00:27:15,261 --> 00:27:18,381
Big sis, let's take it to finale night.

569
00:27:18,461 --> 00:27:21,381
#TexasSiblingsRock."

570
00:27:21,461 --> 00:27:25,421
I came in thinking I need a number one,
and I think I just found her.

571
00:27:26,101 --> 00:27:29,501
Message, "Glad I could be a pick-me-up.
Strong emoji."

572
00:27:30,461 --> 00:27:33,941
[Lee] "Great chatting with you.
By the way, good luck tonight."

573
00:27:34,021 --> 00:27:35,301
It is the winky face.

574
00:27:36,421 --> 00:27:37,821
Oh, my gosh.

575
00:27:37,901 --> 00:27:42,221
Winky face. That's saying,
"I've got your back, little brother."

576
00:27:42,981 --> 00:27:45,821
Yes. I feel good.

577
00:27:45,901 --> 00:27:48,661
[Michelle] Nice chat, River. Winky face.

578
00:27:50,021 --> 00:27:52,981
With the blocking fast approaching,
let's check in on Chloe.

579
00:27:53,061 --> 00:27:55,581
I guess she'll either be talking
to her unicorn

580
00:27:55,661 --> 00:27:57,461
or about to flirt with a guy.

581
00:27:57,541 --> 00:28:00,261
I need a good old flirt with Trev-Trevs.

582
00:28:00,341 --> 00:28:02,621
That will stir the pot, won't it?

583
00:28:02,701 --> 00:28:06,861
Circle, open private chat with Trevor,
please.

584
00:28:08,901 --> 00:28:11,861
"Chloe has invited you to a private chat."

585
00:28:11,941 --> 00:28:13,661
What you gotta say to me, girl?

00:28:13,741 --> 00:28:15,061
[chiming]

587
00:28:15,741 --> 00:28:17,821
I don't wanna go in there
full guns blazing.

588
00:28:17,901 --> 00:28:21,661
I don't want him to feel uncomfortable
if him and Savannah are talking,

589
00:28:21,741 --> 00:28:23,021
and they are getting along,

590
00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:26,021
and I'm gonna get him to come to me.

It was kind of hard being a judge today.

I love that!

Oh, my God.

599
00:28:50,421 --> 00:28:51,581
Okay.

601
00:28:52,621 --> 00:28:57,661

"By the way,
I recognize you from another show,

603
00:29:01,341 --> 00:29:03,301

[Deleesa] I knew it. I knew it,

610
00:29:22,021 --> 00:29:26,661
and I completely believe you are
who you are, like absolutely.

611
00:29:26,741 --> 00:29:29,981
[Michelle] Yeah, trust is so important,
right, Trevor?

612
00:29:30,061 --> 00:29:34,261
I couldn't imagine him having this kind
of conversation with Savannah at all.

613
00:29:34,341 --> 00:29:35,301
No way.

614
00:29:35,381 --> 00:29:37,061
She's a robot builder.

Don't ever settle for less."

[Chloe] "If I ever had a chance
to take you on a date,

619
00:29:47,181 --> 00:29:49,221
we'd go indoor skydiving,

00:29:49,301 --> 00:29:52,221
and then have a champagne picnic
in the park."

621
00:29:52,301 --> 00:29:54,741
I don't want that to make me excited.

622
00:29:54,821 --> 00:29:57,341
I don't want it to make me excited.

623
00:29:57,421 --> 00:30:01,061
But I can't help it.
I literally can't help it.

624

That is so sweet.

625
00:30:04,621 --> 00:30:07,861
Like, I'm making her feel her self-worth.

626
00:30:07,941 --> 00:30:10,941
As a man. Hell, I feel great about that.

627
00:30:11,021 --> 00:30:14,341
I actually feel amazing that I'm a guy,

628
00:30:14,421 --> 00:30:18,941
and I'm able to make a woman
feel amazing to be a woman,

629
00:30:19,021 --> 00:30:22,141
and that she's appreciated
by at least one guy,

630
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:24,661
and there are good men out there, so…

631

"Where there's respect, there is trust,

632
00:30:27,781 --> 00:30:32,261

I don't wanna be a top player,

637
00:30:41,821 --> 00:30:43,021
not yet at least.

638
00:30:43,101 --> 00:30:45,421
That needs to come towards the end.

639
00:30:45,501 --> 00:30:50,181
Right now, I just need to hold
on strong right in the middle.

640
00:30:50,941 --> 00:30:53,221
I didn't come in here for romance,

641
00:30:54,221 --> 00:30:59,261
but I do feel like there is some romance
in the air when it comes to me and Trev.

643

Somebody's going home, and it ain't me.

Oh, shoot.
All right, Circle, what do you got for me?

650
00:31:16,701 --> 00:31:18,501
Gosh. Okay.

One of us are going home.

Oh, my gosh, this is so--

662
00:31:55,941 --> 00:31:57,541
[Jack] Do they want an easy decision?

663
00:31:57,621 --> 00:32:02,781
Or do they wanna make a big move
and take out a threat or someone popular?

664
00:32:02,861 --> 00:32:04,181
What?

665
00:32:04,701 --> 00:32:07,421
Knowing that they're making a decision

666
00:32:08,101 --> 00:32:09,301
is sickening.

667
00:32:10,901 --> 00:32:13,181
[Michelle]
Savannah and Terilisha are in the Hangout

668

someone's Circle dream forever,

I can't believe I'm here.
I can't believe I made it.

I'm an influencer.

It's crazy being the first one in.

00:41:58,661 --> 00:42:02,381
but wasn't able to connect equally
to the both of us."

851
00:42:02,461 --> 00:42:04,541
I could be going home right now.

852
00:42:05,061 --> 00:42:07,901
Oh, no. Stay positive.

853
00:42:09,021 --> 00:42:12,901
"The player that we have decided
to block is…"

854
00:42:13,461 --> 00:42:15,901
-I don't even wanna look.
-Come on.

855
00:42:17,181 --> 00:42:19,141
[suspenseful music swells]

856
00:42:25,501 --> 00:42:26,381
[exhales]

857
00:42:26,461 --> 00:42:28,101
-Oh, my God.
-Oh, my…

858
00:42:28,181 --> 00:42:29,901
I thought my time had come.

859
00:42:29,981 --> 00:42:32,341
[screaming] Oh, my God!

860
00:42:32,421 --> 00:42:33,381
[chiming]

861
00:42:35,461 --> 00:42:37,101
[sad music]

862
00:42:37,661 --> 00:42:39,501
He's gone. Oh, my…

863
00:42:41,381 --> 00:42:43,301
-[imitates game show buzzer] Wow.
-Out.

864
00:42:43,381 --> 00:42:46,221
That shit is harsh, man.
I can't even say bye, bro.

865
00:42:47,261 --> 00:42:49,701
Well, it's all part of the adventure.

866
00:42:50,221 --> 00:42:51,941
[inhales deeply]

867
00:42:52,021 --> 00:42:53,021
[exhales]

868
00:42:55,701 --> 00:42:59,181
I'm… This is stupid.
I'm not supposed to cry about this.

869
00:43:02,821 --> 00:43:04,061
[Bryant exhales]

870
00:43:10,021 --> 00:43:11,581
[weeps]

871
00:43:13,021 --> 00:43:14,901
It's just a game.

872
00:43:15,541 --> 00:43:18,341
Hm… I'm gonna take this moment in.

873
00:43:18,421 --> 00:43:21,981
This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment
to experience this.

874
00:43:22,581 --> 00:43:24,621
So grateful, so appreciative.

875
00:43:25,941 --> 00:43:26,781
Truly.

876
00:43:27,781 --> 00:43:30,941
The aim of the game
is to be popular, and, Bryant,

877
00:43:31,021 --> 00:43:32,741
you weren't popular, babe.

878
00:43:37,101 --> 00:43:37,941
[sniffles]

879
00:43:38,701 --> 00:43:41,581
[Michelle]
Bryant, our bro-y yogi has been blocked,

880
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:43,861
but his adventure isn't over yet.

881
00:43:43,941 --> 00:43:45,661
[blaring]

882
00:43:45,741 --> 00:43:46,581
Alert?

883
00:43:47,741 --> 00:43:50,381
"Before you leave,
you can meet one player face-to-face."

884
00:43:50,461 --> 00:43:53,381
Nice. Oh, good. I need a hug.

885
00:43:54,101 --> 00:43:58,141
"Think about who you would like to meet."
I would love to go meet Courtney.

886
00:43:58,781 --> 00:44:02,661
He was my first friend in The Circle.
Even though we ended up at bottom four,

887
00:44:02,741 --> 00:44:04,221
I felt the support.

888
00:44:04,301 --> 00:44:05,821
Um, he was my loyal lad.

889
00:44:05,901 --> 00:44:10,381
River, I know he's pro-equality,
he's pro-expression,

890
00:44:10,461 --> 00:44:13,021
more importantly
he wears his heart on his sleeve.

891
00:44:13,541 --> 00:44:15,021
I could go visit Savannah.

892
00:44:15,101 --> 00:44:16,861
You're the reason why I got blocked.

893
00:44:16,941 --> 00:44:19,661
I could ask her
her decision-making process.

894
00:44:19,741 --> 00:44:23,581
Terilisha, it hurts that you weren't able
to stand up for me in that room

895
00:44:23,661 --> 00:44:25,581
because I would have
done anything for you.

896
00:44:27,021 --> 00:44:30,181
Out of all these players,
who am I gonna go and visit?

897
00:44:31,061 --> 00:44:32,501
[exhales]

898
00:44:39,341 --> 00:44:40,701
-Alert. Shoot.
-What?

899
00:44:41,261 --> 00:44:42,781
Oh! Again?

900
00:44:44,101 --> 00:44:46,581
"Bryant is on his way
to meet one of you now."

901
00:44:46,661 --> 00:44:48,261
-Now?
-Oh!

902
00:44:48,341 --> 00:44:49,661
Are you joking?

903
00:44:50,221 --> 00:44:51,341
Oh, my gosh.

904
00:44:51,421 --> 00:44:54,021
I think that there's a high chance
Bryant could come.

905
00:44:54,101 --> 00:44:56,581
[tense music playing]

906
00:44:58,741 --> 00:45:00,141
He's won't confront anybody.

907
00:45:00,221 --> 00:45:02,821
He wants to do the one
he had the connection with.

908
00:45:05,701 --> 00:45:06,941
[blows raspberries]

909
00:45:07,021 --> 00:45:09,381
Talk about staying
on the edge of your seat.

910
00:45:12,101 --> 00:45:14,621
He could walk through
that door at any point.

911
00:45:17,141 --> 00:45:19,501
-Hold up.
-My name is Trevor. How you doing?

912
00:45:19,581 --> 00:45:21,061
[tense music continues]

913
00:45:21,141 --> 00:45:23,661
I don't know if I can face him
if he comes to see me.

914
00:45:25,781 --> 00:45:27,061
[music swelling]

915
00:45:28,501 --> 00:45:32,581
-Hello, how are you?
-Yes. Oh, my God.

916
00:45:32,661 --> 00:45:33,741
Come here.

917
00:45:33,821 --> 00:45:35,221
[chuckles]

918
00:45:36,221 --> 00:45:37,061
Come here.

919
00:45:37,141 --> 00:45:38,861
[laughs nervously]

920
00:45:40,621 --> 00:45:41,781
[Lee] Are you shocked?

921
00:45:41,861 --> 00:45:44,341
-Aren't you shocked?
-Not at all. You kidding me?

922
00:45:44,421 --> 00:45:46,381
-We're all playing a character.
-[Lee] Yeah.

923
00:45:46,461 --> 00:45:50,381
I was going off just the quality of…

924
00:45:51,061 --> 00:45:52,821
the feeling behind words, to be honest.

925
00:45:53,701 --> 00:45:56,341
[Lee] I have this strategy,
see on the refrigerator,

926
00:45:56,421 --> 00:45:58,861
and it says it's heart not head.

927
00:45:58,941 --> 00:46:01,981
-You were playing so much with your heart…
-Yes.

928
00:46:02,061 --> 00:46:05,021
…and you were forgetting strategy,
I think.

929
00:46:05,101 --> 00:46:06,621
[Bryant] Yeah. Here's the thing.

930
00:46:06,701 --> 00:46:09,301
Throughout every interaction
I actually had with you,

931
00:46:09,381 --> 00:46:11,741
that was because my heart led me to it.

932
00:46:11,821 --> 00:46:13,861
I would never have changed anything.

933
00:46:13,941 --> 00:46:17,701
-Let me tell you who I am. My name is Lee.
-Please. Okay, Lee.

934
00:46:17,781 --> 00:46:18,741
I'm a writer.

935
00:46:19,421 --> 00:46:22,101
-That's River, by the way.
-[Bryant] River's gorgeous.

936
00:46:22,181 --> 00:46:23,261
[Lee] He's a friend of mine.

937
00:46:23,341 --> 00:46:28,621
His name's not River.
He's actually straight. He's 20 years old.

938
00:46:28,701 --> 00:46:31,181
You could've played yourself,
shown your face on there.

939
00:46:31,261 --> 00:46:33,261
I would've loved you
for exactly as you are.

940
00:46:33,341 --> 00:46:34,181
[Lee] You would've.

941
00:46:34,261 --> 00:46:38,181
I don't know that everybody would've,
and that's made by fear.

942
00:46:38,261 --> 00:46:41,541
But, you know, I felt the rainbow love.

943
00:46:41,621 --> 00:46:43,741
Even though I'm out first,

944
00:46:43,821 --> 00:46:48,981
there's still something that gives you
a good feeling when you follow your heart.

945
00:46:49,541 --> 00:46:51,341
You wrote that about your friend.

946
00:46:51,421 --> 00:46:53,901
-The $10,000, that she was homeless.
-Yeah.

947
00:46:53,981 --> 00:46:57,621
I think people were saying,
"Okay, one of two things.

948
00:46:57,701 --> 00:47:00,141
He's too good to be true,

949
00:47:00,221 --> 00:47:04,781
or I can't beat him
because he's too good."

950
00:47:04,861 --> 00:47:09,461
It sounds cliché,
but I'm winning because of this feeling

951
00:47:09,541 --> 00:47:12,301
and the trust that I did
what my heart wanted me to do.

952
00:47:12,381 --> 00:47:14,541
You and I are friends for life.

953
00:47:14,621 --> 00:47:16,461
-I swear to God.
-Give me your hand.

954
00:47:16,541 --> 00:47:20,141
-I mean, we are friends for life.
-[Bryant] Thank you.

955
00:47:20,221 --> 00:47:21,781
[Lee] I said if he comes to see me,

956
00:47:21,861 --> 00:47:24,061
I wanna go lay in the grass,
stare at the sun with him,

957
00:47:24,141 --> 00:47:26,661
-and learn breathing.
-God. That'd be the best.

958
00:47:30,581 --> 00:47:33,581
Well, I guess he's not coming to see me.

959
00:47:34,221 --> 00:47:37,581
I've brushed my teeth for nothing, Bryant.

960
00:47:37,661 --> 00:47:39,501
For goodness' sake.

961
00:47:41,181 --> 00:47:44,901
-[Bryant] Go win this thing. You got this.
-[Lee] Okay. Come on.

962
00:47:44,981 --> 00:47:47,461
[Bryant]
All the best. All of this is impermanent.

963
00:47:47,541 --> 00:47:48,661
You got this.

964
00:47:50,861 --> 00:47:52,421
-Rock this.
-I'm gonna rock it.

965
00:47:52,501 --> 00:47:55,581
It doesn't matter who you're playing.
Be yourself.

966
00:47:56,381 --> 00:47:58,061
-[Lee] All right.
-Okay, friend.

967
00:47:58,141 --> 00:48:00,141
We will see you at the finale.

968
00:48:01,861 --> 00:48:03,941
[exhales] Ah, you guys.

969
00:48:04,701 --> 00:48:05,741
I love that guy.

970
00:48:06,781 --> 00:48:08,341
[Michelle] And just like that,

971
00:48:08,421 --> 00:48:11,421
Bryant is ending his nama-stay
in The Circle.

972
00:48:13,701 --> 00:48:16,781
And while he heads off into the night,
breathing at strangers,

973
00:48:16,861 --> 00:48:18,101
the others are relaxing,

974
00:48:18,701 --> 00:48:21,301
and we know what that means
by now though, right?

975
00:48:21,381 --> 00:48:22,941
[alarm blaring]

976
00:48:23,021 --> 00:48:23,901
Alert?

977
00:48:24,421 --> 00:48:26,301
Y'all know I was trying to go to bed.

978
00:48:26,381 --> 00:48:29,781
I was trying to get my teeth
all clean and pristine,

979
00:48:29,861 --> 00:48:30,781
and now what?

980
00:48:30,861 --> 00:48:34,381
Please tell me this is a joke.
Why do we have another alert?

981
00:48:34,461 --> 00:48:37,701
I'm in my undies right now. Hold on.

982
00:48:39,661 --> 00:48:42,341
I gotta put my big-boy pants on. Hold on.

983
00:48:42,421 --> 00:48:43,461
Already?

984
00:48:43,541 --> 00:48:46,621
Did Bryant even get to leave the building

985
00:48:46,701 --> 00:48:49,941
before y'all ushering somebody else
all up in the gig?

986
00:48:50,021 --> 00:48:51,701
Are you actually joking?

987
00:48:51,781 --> 00:48:53,621
Is it a girl or a boy?

988
00:48:57,061 --> 00:49:01,701
Lance Bass? You are freaking kidding me.

989
00:49:02,781 --> 00:49:03,941
What?

990
00:49:04,021 --> 00:49:05,901
Lance Bass from *NSYNC?

991
00:49:05,981 --> 00:49:08,461
A celebrity has entered The Circle?

992
00:49:09,581 --> 00:49:11,661
The Circle is not playing.

993
00:49:11,741 --> 00:49:13,461
Is he American?

994
00:49:13,541 --> 00:49:17,901
Maybe Trevor's got a little bit
of competition.

995
00:49:17,981 --> 00:49:19,021
Hey.

996
00:49:19,101 --> 00:49:21,701
[Michelle] Circle, girl. Holy sh--

997
00:49:21,781 --> 00:49:24,541
[upbeat music playing]
