That does make sense

because River and Courtney
came straight to me

both have my trust.

[Michelle] Don't be long,
'cause the finale's around the corner,

235
00:11:11,621 --> 00:11:14,741
and it's time for all players
to make their final pitch.

239
00:11:24,701 --> 00:11:27,861
[Michelle] The Circle wants each player
to reveal what they would spend

240
00:11:27,941 --> 00:11:30,461
that sweet cash on
if they're crowned champion.

241
00:11:30,541 --> 00:11:34,341
Okay. I mean, can I really imagine
$100,000 in my bank account?

242
00:11:34,421 --> 00:11:35,501
I'm going to.

243
00:11:35,581 --> 00:11:38,301
[Michelle] Whether they tell the truth
or lay it on thick,

244
00:11:38,381 --> 00:11:41,501
this could be their last chance
to sway their Circle peers.

245
00:11:41,581 --> 00:11:45,261
This sounds like a very interesting way

246
00:11:45,341 --> 00:11:49,221
for us to find out
why each player deserves the money.

247
00:11:49,301 --> 00:11:51,861
This is gonna send a powerful message.

That's so nice.

259
00:12:22,061 --> 00:12:26,421
That's like a huge expense
to take his family on a vacation,

260
00:12:26,501 --> 00:12:29,741
and that's probably something
he would love to do.

261
00:12:29,821 --> 00:12:33,581
He's embodying that Santa spirit,
and he would be spending the money

his kids, and his granddaughter.

263
00:12:36,381 --> 00:12:37,861
Didn't know he had a granddaughter.

I like John even more now.

what he'd spend the money on as BS.

This is gonna determine

who is in the finale.

So close.

What am I gonna do? Courtney or Trevor?

I still don't like the fact
that Courtney backs that bully.

In the conversation that I had earlier

I really doubted Courtney.

I thought he's playing
a massive tactical game,

that he would backstab me.

I'm just glad

Hi, Chlo. We miss ya.

688

Don't miss your mess one bit,
or the dramas, but we miss you.

We can't wait to see you.
I can't wait to give you a big hug.

I'm really missing you,

but keep being yourself.

695
00:32:46,181 --> 00:32:49,781
You're just super funny, loving, caring.

696
00:32:49,861 --> 00:32:52,141
You've always worn your heart
on your sleeve,

just such an amazing person,

701

706

Hi, Mommy.

Uh, we miss you so much,

719

You already know.

721
00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:02,661
I've told you a million times

722
00:34:02,741 --> 00:34:07,381
that you are like my hero,
the person I look up to the most.

723
00:34:07,461 --> 00:34:10,501
You're the most determined
and competitive person I know.

724
00:34:10,581 --> 00:34:14,861
So, honestly, if I was a contestant,
I wouldn't wanna go up against you.

725
00:34:15,661 --> 00:34:17,541
So I know you're killing it.

726
00:34:17,621 --> 00:34:20,621
Keep killing it, and like I told you
before you left, babe,

727
00:34:20,701 --> 00:34:23,101
don't sit there and worry
about the end result.

728
00:34:23,181 --> 00:34:25,661
It doesn't matter what happens,
just enjoy it,

729
00:34:25,741 --> 00:34:27,821
because when you're having fun,

730
00:34:27,901 --> 00:34:31,061
your personality shines,
and it's really hard not to love you.

731
00:34:31,581 --> 00:34:34,221
Like I said, keep doing it.
We're gonna be here.

Boobie's fine. She's great. Getting big.

733
00:34:36,581 --> 00:34:40,381
She's biting my nose left and right
'cause she got two top teeth now.

734
00:34:40,461 --> 00:34:42,661
You'll be surprised when you get back.
Can't wait.

-Unbelievable.
-Oh, my God!

736
00:34:44,141 --> 00:34:46,461
But she's getting so big,
and she misses you.

737
00:34:46,541 --> 00:34:48,381
I'm sure she needs mommy love.

738
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:50,621
She got a little Mama's Bestie shirt on.

Can you look? Can you see?
See Mama's Bestie shirt?

She's so much bigger.

You're gonna kill it.

I think this could be really good for us,

'cause if you're secret,
take out someone who can beat you.

778

and there's no repercussions

816
00:38:13,181 --> 00:38:17,661
I can't do this with my heart.
This is $100,000 that I'm talking about.

817
00:38:17,741 --> 00:38:19,781
I have to do this with my head.

818
00:38:19,861 --> 00:38:23,141
I have to think
what's gonna get me the win?

819
00:38:23,221 --> 00:38:27,741
If River was making this decision,
it would be an emotional decision.

820
00:38:27,821 --> 00:38:30,621
But Lee is making this decision

821
00:38:30,701 --> 00:38:37,661
because Lee came here to win $100,000
and to win this game.

822
00:38:38,901 --> 00:38:45,101
And the problem I have is
Chloe and Trevor are connected.

823
00:38:45,181 --> 00:38:50,141
They would, in the ratings for the 100K,
make each other number one.

824
00:38:50,661 --> 00:38:55,421
If I take one of them out,
they might give that to River.

825
00:38:56,261 --> 00:38:59,381
Mitchell is not in any team.

826
00:38:59,461 --> 00:39:00,621
He's a free agent,

827
00:39:01,261 --> 00:39:03,061
and if he got saved tonight,

828
00:39:03,141 --> 00:39:08,141
he might show some love
to who he thinks saved him.

829
00:39:08,221 --> 00:39:13,421
The pros of blocking John are
he hasn't been in the game very long,

830
00:39:13,501 --> 00:39:16,061
and I think people like him.

831
00:39:16,141 --> 00:39:18,341
So he has done no damage to himself,

832
00:39:18,421 --> 00:39:21,861
so he might get very high ratings
for the money.

833
00:39:21,941 --> 00:39:27,061
The cons are John would
actually rate River number one.

834
00:39:28,461 --> 00:39:31,661
The pros of blocking Courtney,

835
00:39:32,261 --> 00:39:35,381
I'm afraid people would put him above me.

836
00:39:35,461 --> 00:39:41,941
The cons of blocking Courtney is I think
he would put me at the top of his ratings.

837
00:39:42,021 --> 00:39:46,621
Emotionally,
it's hard for me to be this ruthless,

838
00:39:46,701 --> 00:39:48,861
and I can't be emotional.

839
00:39:48,941 --> 00:39:53,541
My heart is screaming at me right now,
but I have to stay in my head.

00:40:37,661 --> 00:40:40,021
My anxiety is through the roof.

853
00:40:40,781 --> 00:40:43,581
Come on. Good, positive vibes.

854
00:40:43,661 --> 00:40:44,741
Please, yo.

855
00:40:45,301 --> 00:40:46,261
[exhales]

856
00:40:46,341 --> 00:40:48,221
I feel like I'm having a heart attack.

857
00:40:48,301 --> 00:40:51,181
If me and Trevor's
whole trifecta play backfired,

858
00:40:51,261 --> 00:40:52,581
I should get my suitcase.

859
00:40:53,221 --> 00:40:58,261
"The secret Superinfluencer is
on their way to block one of you now"?

860
00:40:58,341 --> 00:41:01,541
They're blocking them in person. [gasps]

861
00:41:01,621 --> 00:41:03,021
Man!

862
00:41:03,101 --> 00:41:06,821
Now I'm even more nervous
'cause now it's interaction.

863
00:41:06,901 --> 00:41:08,341
Oh…

864
00:41:09,101 --> 00:41:11,261
[intense music continues]

865
00:41:17,861 --> 00:41:21,101
If I keep my eyes closed, it's not real.

866
00:41:21,181 --> 00:41:23,781
-Let's go lock the door.
-Let's just go barricade it.

867
00:41:23,861 --> 00:41:27,101
Someone could walk through that door
and say you're blocked.

868
00:41:30,901 --> 00:41:33,101
Whoever it is,
it's between me and Mitchell.

869
00:41:37,501 --> 00:41:39,661
[music swells]

870
00:41:44,421 --> 00:41:46,101
[music fades]

871
00:41:46,181 --> 00:41:47,021
Hello?

872
00:41:47,101 --> 00:41:49,341
-Don't tell me!
-Yes.

873
00:41:50,381 --> 00:41:51,301
[laughs]

874
00:41:51,381 --> 00:41:52,381
Are you real?

875
00:41:52,461 --> 00:41:54,621
-John?
-No, I'm River.

876
00:41:54,701 --> 00:41:55,741
-What?
-[Lee] Yes.

877
00:41:55,821 --> 00:41:56,661
[tone, chimes]

878
00:41:56,741 --> 00:41:59,141
-[Mitchell] Wait a second!
-[Lee] That's me.

879
00:41:59,221 --> 00:42:01,541
-[Mitchell] You River?
-No, my name's Lee.

880
00:42:01,621 --> 00:42:03,581
-Lee?
-[Lee] You're very real.

881
00:42:03,661 --> 00:42:05,741
-You wanna sit down?
-Sit down, brother.

882
00:42:05,821 --> 00:42:09,421
-Shoot, Lee, it's not good to see you.
-I know it isn't.

883
00:42:09,501 --> 00:42:10,701
[Mitchell] Hate to say it,

884
00:42:10,781 --> 00:42:12,701
but I don't like meeting you like this.

885
00:42:12,781 --> 00:42:14,501
I hate meeting you like this too.

886
00:42:14,581 --> 00:42:15,581
How come me?

887
00:42:15,661 --> 00:42:18,221
I did struggle
'cause it was like heart and head.

888
00:42:18,301 --> 00:42:20,781
I'm here for $100,000.
What gets me that $100,000?

889
00:42:20,861 --> 00:42:23,621
So how come you decided me?
Head? Game plan?

890
00:42:23,701 --> 00:42:25,421
It was game plan and heart,

891
00:42:25,501 --> 00:42:29,581
because from my head is
I didn't know how you'd vote in the 100K.

892
00:42:29,661 --> 00:42:33,021
Would you give me a rating of one,
or would I be at the bottom?

893
00:42:33,101 --> 00:42:36,221
I'm gonna shoot you straight.
You made the right call! [laughs]

894
00:42:36,301 --> 00:42:38,621
-I put you and Courtney dead last!
-Dead last.

895
00:42:38,701 --> 00:42:41,741
[Mitchell] That's why it's surprising…
I'm like, "Wait."

896
00:42:41,821 --> 00:42:44,741
I started playing strategy
literally yesterday. I was like,

897
00:42:44,821 --> 00:42:48,101
"It's the finale. We're close."
Know what I mean? I gotta start.

898
00:42:48,181 --> 00:42:50,941
-You may have waited too long.
-I think so. Yeah.

899
00:42:51,461 --> 00:42:52,541
I thought I was safe.

900
00:42:52,621 --> 00:42:55,741
Who knew we were gonna have
a secret Superinfluencer?

901
00:42:55,821 --> 00:42:57,021
Who knew that?

902
00:42:57,101 --> 00:42:59,581
You caught me by surprise, bro!

903
00:43:00,101 --> 00:43:03,541
I genuinely had all the confidence
in the world I was safe right now.

904
00:43:03,621 --> 00:43:05,101
So why the catfish?

905
00:43:05,181 --> 00:43:06,861
So I'm a writer.

906
00:43:06,941 --> 00:43:08,381
I've had pen names.

907
00:43:08,461 --> 00:43:12,301
So I've been a catfish for years
when there wasn't any catfish.

908
00:43:12,381 --> 00:43:16,061
And I thought, "Wouldn't it interesting
if I created this character

909
00:43:16,141 --> 00:43:18,901
and see if I could
make them real and breathing?"

910
00:43:18,981 --> 00:43:21,861
I'm a huge fan of this show.
Watched it the first season.

911
00:43:21,941 --> 00:43:24,421
You know my mom and brother?
Ed is my brother.

912
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:26,781
-You kidding me?
-[Mitchell] He left me a message.

913
00:43:26,861 --> 00:43:29,581
[Lee]
Oh, my God! Now I'm fangirling again!

914
00:43:30,181 --> 00:43:32,621
-I love your mom!
-Yeah, my mom.

915
00:43:32,701 --> 00:43:35,061
Now I feel guilty even more!

916
00:43:35,141 --> 00:43:37,261
And I see the resemblance in your face!

917
00:43:37,341 --> 00:43:39,741
It's the beard too.
If I grew my beard out…

918
00:43:39,821 --> 00:43:41,461
-Oh, my God!
-[Mitchell] Yeah.

919
00:43:41,541 --> 00:43:44,381
At the end of the day, it sucks.
I'm not gonna lie.

920
00:43:44,461 --> 00:43:46,501
I hate that I'm blocked so close.

921
00:43:46,581 --> 00:43:47,541
So annoyed.

922
00:43:47,621 --> 00:43:50,341
I just wanted to see you at the finale,
that's all.

923
00:43:50,861 --> 00:43:53,981
Back me up.
Who else were you close with in here?

924
00:43:54,061 --> 00:43:57,261
Chloe, Courtney and I
were in the first at-risk group,

925
00:43:57,341 --> 00:43:59,421
so we've been bonded for a long time.

926
00:43:59,501 --> 00:44:01,021
-Wow. Yeah.
-[Lee] A long time.

927
00:44:01,101 --> 00:44:05,261
It's like an unbreakable trio right now.
And John's a sweetheart.

928
00:44:05,341 --> 00:44:06,941
So it's interesting to me.

929
00:44:07,021 --> 00:44:09,741
I thought John was fake
because his character seems so.

930
00:44:09,821 --> 00:44:11,301
He seems like the nicest guy.

931
00:44:11,381 --> 00:44:15,221
-Can I tell you my catfish radar sucks?
-Same.

932
00:44:15,301 --> 00:44:16,581
Sucks!

933
00:44:16,661 --> 00:44:18,381
I wish you the best of luck, Lee.

934
00:44:18,461 --> 00:44:20,661
I appreciate
we finally had a conversation,

935
00:44:20,741 --> 00:44:22,301
-man to man.
-Absolutely.

936
00:44:22,381 --> 00:44:23,861
Lee, I'll let you get to it.

937
00:44:24,701 --> 00:44:27,181
-[Lee] I'm sorry.
-Let's hug it out, brother.

938
00:44:27,261 --> 00:44:30,741
-It had to be done, Lee.
-Stay in touch. Stay in touch with me.

939
00:44:30,821 --> 00:44:32,661
-[Mitchell] Hundred percent.
-I feel bad.

940
00:44:32,741 --> 00:44:35,501
-Alright. See you later. Good night.
-Good night, Lee.

941
00:44:38,661 --> 00:44:39,981
Well, ferk.

942
00:44:41,741 --> 00:44:44,221
That's a curveball for you, huh?

943
00:44:44,301 --> 00:44:45,941
[light music plays]

00:44:46,021 --> 00:44:46,981

946
00:44:50,181 --> 00:44:51,741
"Alert!" Another alert.

947
00:44:51,821 --> 00:44:52,821
[gasps]

948
00:44:52,901 --> 00:44:54,461
Oh, what's happened?

949
00:44:54,541 --> 00:44:56,781
Sick. I'm so sick right now.

950
00:44:56,861 --> 00:44:58,341
Hoo!

951
00:44:58,421 --> 00:45:01,261
I can't take no more surprises tonight.
I can't do it.

952
00:45:01,341 --> 00:45:02,621
[tone]

953
00:45:02,701 --> 00:45:04,501
"Congratulations!"

Oh, my God!

[both cheer]

959
00:45:16,261 --> 00:45:17,301
Yes!

960
00:45:17,381 --> 00:45:21,741
Yes! Come on, baby! Let's fucking go!

961
00:45:21,821 --> 00:45:25,621
See it, believe it, achieve it!

962
00:45:25,701 --> 00:45:26,701
Woo!

963
00:45:26,781 --> 00:45:30,101
Finalist in The Circle. Wow!

964
00:45:30,581 --> 00:45:31,861
[tone]

965
00:45:31,941 --> 00:45:36,181
"Tomorrow you will all meet face to face!"

966
00:45:36,261 --> 00:45:38,061
I'm excited to meet them.

967
00:45:38,141 --> 00:45:43,061
I just don't know
if they're gonna be excited to meet me.

968
00:45:43,141 --> 00:45:46,141
Each and every one of your faces!

969
00:45:46,221 --> 00:45:48,541
[Jack] "The winner of The Circle
will be crowned."

970
00:45:48,621 --> 00:45:52,141
-Hopefully it's John! Winners!
-Put an "s" on that. Winners.

971
00:45:52,221 --> 00:45:55,061
Oh, my God! There's so much to do.

972
00:45:55,141 --> 00:45:58,581
I want the crown.
This queen needs a crown.

973
00:45:58,661 --> 00:46:00,501
Shave me armpits, wax me 'tache.

974
00:46:00,581 --> 00:46:03,181
$100,000.

975
00:46:03,261 --> 00:46:05,261
See if I've got any clean knickers.

976
00:46:05,341 --> 00:46:08,301
Let me lay my outfit out like
it's first day of school tomorrow.

977
00:46:08,381 --> 00:46:11,461
I hope the other players have no idea
that I'm a catfish,

978
00:46:11,541 --> 00:46:13,981
and I hope they'll forgive me
for being one.

979
00:46:14,061 --> 00:46:15,861
Somebody's gonna be mad at me.

980
00:46:16,701 --> 00:46:18,421
It's probably gonna be Chloe.

981
00:46:18,501 --> 00:46:20,741
This is the moment I see if Trevor's real.

982
00:46:20,821 --> 00:46:24,141
This is the moment I get to see
if Trev-Trevs is real.
