[female narrator] Where we last left off, two new players were entering The Circle,
and they're still walking down those hallways.
Damn, The Circle is big!
Anyway, let's see what their stories are, shall we?
Oh, my God!
We made it, finally!
[pop music playing]
I'm Sean, I'm 25, and I'm from New York City.
I do social media for a plus-size fashion company.
We have, like, over a million followers.
I'm all about putting out content
that makes women feel like they're just not alone.
Fat girls always have to outshine everyone else
in order to be even noticed.
If I looked a different way, then someone would be like:
"Oh, my God, she's hilarious and she's so talented,"
but the fact of the matter is, people treat fat people like crap,
so I'm going to show up as thin.
I'm going to use my friend Colleen's photos.
She is just kind of like that All-American bombshell.
She's like a Barbie doll.
My personality, her body, winning combo. This is a game, so I'm gonna play it.
Whoo! [laughs]
Oh, my God.
This is so nice.
[narrator[] With Sean settled, enter player two.
Damn, I got the VIP.
Circle, I'm here!
I arrived!
I'm in!
Hey, my name is Bill.
I'm 27, from Chicago, Illinois, and I work in the auto industry.
I'd like to think everybody likes me, but that's not reality.
I think I look like the typical, average white dude,
but I make it work.
I'm the best-looking average white dude you know.
My social presence is very similar to my real life.
I'll have a laugh, everybody likes laughing.
[laughing]
I do not post sexy pictures because that's kind of douchey, honestly.
I feel bad for the people that are just trying way too hard.
They're always in swimsuits. Gimme a break, girl.
The posts that I hate is when they'll give some positive message
and you just know they're the worst person in real life.
My game plan is to be best friends with everybody.
It's your best friend Bill.
♪ We don't even care about what they say ♪
"Welcome to The Circle." Thank you for having me.
"Now you must set up your profile."
Yay! Okay.
Ooh, Circle, take me to "posing."
Circle, pick the picture in the middle left. Let's see what we got there.
You know, I think I like this.
They're gonna think I'm a professional. That young professional.
I don't know, I think this is a good, sincere picture.
I think they can at least see a little personality in there.
Like, I keep it chill, I keep it cool.
Best friend Bill.
Circle, let's use this as the main profile picture.
[Sean] There we go, alright.
Circle, open my bombshell album.
The top right.
I kinda feel like this is a good profile photo,
just to kinda get things started.
There I am.
Yay!
This is like someone that, yes, is ridiculously hot,
but also someone that you can get to know,
and that's definitely the balance that I'm trying to get.
[Bill] Alright, Circle, let's fill out my bio.
"Just a fun guy, doing fun things in the city of Chicago.
I like the hustle, I like the grind, and I like going out with the friends."
I like it, I love it.
Relationship status?
That one's gonna change a little bit.
I have a boyfriend that I love at home, but he wants me to win this money, too.
So, I'm gonna be single in The Circle.
I think these guys are gonna give me high ratings
if they can flirt with this girl.
Yeah.
[laughs]
Okay, I'm gonna say:
"Social Media Manager living in New York City.
Obsessed with breakfast food,
scary movies,
and gin and tonics."
[narrator] While gin-loving Sean hopes her profile is just a tonic,
the others are in high spirits.
And the crowd goes wild!
And it's about to get crowded in here, Shubby.
[buzzing]
[Bill] Ooh!
My first alert.
Oh, my God, I'm nervous!
"Tonight, you will meet your fellow Players
at The Circle Trivia Night."
I'm awesome at trivia. I know everything about everything.
Oh, God. I'm not... I don't know if I'm good at trivia.
"And you will be leading one of the teams as their Team Captain." Whoo!
Oh, my gosh, I'm gonna be a great Team Captain!
[Bill] "The other Captain is also a new Player,
who, like you, joined The Circle today."
Oh!
[narrator] Yeah, get used to these kinds of surprises, Bill.
Now the newbies, like Circle spies, get to pry on their fellow Players
before they're revealed to everybody else.
Whoo!
Okay. Circle, take me to Adam's profile.
Wow, okay, hello.
Like, abs for days.
He seems like a genuine person.
I feel like I could have him on my team.
I swear he looks kinda like me.
He's got the facial hair, but he's better groomed.
Can't trust those people from LA, you know.
They're always flexing on their Instagram.
You don't know what's real, don't know what's fake.
I feel like if you're catfishing, you've gotta be pretty smart anyway.
Circle, can we go to Sammie's profile?
"Bottle service with brains, bitches."
Okay, I'm here for brains on my trivia team.
This is someone I definitely need to become friends with
because I don't want her to be competition.
I want us to be on the same team.
She kinda looks like my ex-girlfriend.
Circle, open up Shubham's profile.
VR, California, Silicon Valley.
Goddamn genius.
You can just tell, that's a confident smile.
That's a, like, "I know trivia" smile.
That's like a power smile.
Looks like he went to UCLA.
So, I kinda want him on my trivia team.
I feel like he knows some stuff.
Circle, show me Joey's profile.
Looks like you're trying a little hard.
I don't know. I'm not feeling Joey.
I think he'd even admit it, he's just not good at trivia.
But...
I mean, he could bring the team together,
he could be the wild card I'm not even thinking about.
Circle, show me Chris's profile.
I mean, I feel like I want to be friends with Chris, for sure.
Circle, go to Miranda. Let's see what she's all about.
I like her. She's a cute girl.
Circle, show me Rebecca's profile.
She just seems really sweet.
I feel like the shy girls,
they hold back a lot of stuff, they retain a lot of information.
Damn, she might be a good trivia person.
[Sean] I'm definitely excited.
I don't even know what to think.
I'm competitive, we're gonna win. [chuckles]
I'm gonna win this.
I'm gonna lead 'em to victory.
[narrator] Now that the newbies have peeped at the other players,
it's time for a friendly little game.
Wonder if there's gonna be some kind of unexpected twist.
-[buzzing] -[all] Alert!
[screams]
Here we go.
Oh, Trivia Night!
Oh, yes!
It's a game!
"It's time to find out who's got brains in The Circle Trivia Night."
Oh! I'm 'bout to flex this big ol' noggin.
"Shortly, you will split into two teams..."
"...where you will compete to answer trivia questions."
Okay, hold on.
Do we get to pick our teams? Because I wanna pick my team.
"The winning team members will receive a very special prize."
Who doesn't like a prize?
"The Team Captains for Trivia Night will be..."
It better be the influencers!
I will be pissed!
Oh, that means I can't be on Shubham's team!
Of course the Team Captains are going to be the influencers.
Just lay it down on me.
Hundred percent, it's gonna be me and Sammie.
♪ Da da-da da! ♪
Drumroll please.
[imitates drumroll]
Sean and Bill?
Who the fuck are Sean and Bill?
They're your captains, homie.
Hi, it's me.
Oh!
Sean.
I've never met a girl Sean before. That's so funny.
[narrator] It's hilarious.
Is it short for something?
Seandra?
What the hell is going on?
"New Players Sean and Bill will now pick their names
based on your profiles." I'm over it.
This is great!
"Sean, pick your first player."
[gasps]
Oh, my God.
Ladies first. No big deal.
Message: "The Player I want to pick first is..."
[Sammie] "Sammie"!
Yeah!
Of course she picked Sammie.
Suck-up.
I'm guessing Sean saw that blue check on Sammie and said: "I need that."
I like Sammie. Um--
Oh, well. She didn't pick my number one.
We still got the number-one pick.
Yup, there we go, Bill.
You know exactly what's up.
Oh, I knew it!
Two suck-ups. I hate 'em both already.
[narrator] So, top dog for Sean was Sammie,
and Bill's number one was Shubby.
Next, Sean picked Adam aka Alex...
-Yes! -[narrator] ...and Bill went with Chris.
Wow!
[narrator] Final pick for Sean was Miranda,
leaving Bill to choose between Rebecca aka Seaburn or Joey
for his last slot.
[grunts]
I think I'm gonna go with...
Come on, Bill.
You got this, Bill.
Bill, have a heart and pick your Uncle Joey, please.
[laughs loudly]
I did nothing wrong!
Oh, my God!
[drums table]
Damn, we have a stacked team. I love my team.
"As Joey has not been picked, Joey can now decide which team he joins."
Oh, God. I have to pick?
Are you kidding me?
Oh! Wild card!
Come on, Joey! I'll take Joey. I'll take another player.
Message: "Circle, I'm going to Sean's team 'cause we're gonna win, and I'm excited."
Yeah!
Yes!
Fuck yeah!
Wow.
"It's time to get into your team colors. You have a delivery at your door." Yeah!
[exclaims]
Ooh! It's like Christmastime in the city.
Ooh!
Don't need another nipple piercing, so let's just-- Whoa!
Yeah, I'm glad I wore blue today.
Cheers to team Sean!
[narrator] Teams picked, it's time for...
Damn, what time is it?
-Oh, it's game time. -[narrator] Thanks, bruh.
The captains are meeting the others for the first time
and ready for some pep talk.
First to play, Sean and the Blue Team.
Message: "Hey, everyone.
I'm so stoked about this team!"
Circle message: "Let's kick some ass.
Hashtag Team Sean for life."
"I can't wait to win. Exclamation point, exclamation point." Send.
[narrator] And in the red corner, the Chicago Bills.
Message: "Hey, everybody. First off, let me say: 'What's up? I'm Bill
and I'm really excited to be here with you guys.'" Send.
At Bill: "Let's win this shit."
Message: "Hey, Bill.
Great to meet you, and you picked a great team."
"Hashtag go time."
[narrator] Okay, rules.
Each round is a different category, and the captains choose who answers.
Got it? Good. 'Cause I'm not here to explain rules.
So, it's a one-on-one gladiator style. I like it.
[narrator] First category is...
"Sport."
Def not me.
Pick Adam. He looks sporty.
She's gonna pick Joey because Joey looks more sporty than Adam.
"Alright, team,
I think I'm going to pass the sports category off to Adam.
You got this."
Fuck me in the...
"Adam. You got this." Trophy emoji!
I hope he's good at sports stuff.
I didn't say sports in my profile, Sean!
Message: "Guys, I think I'm going to take on the sport category first.
I feel good about this. Hashtag let's go."
[narrator] Stepping up to the plate for round one
is Captain Bill from Team Bill
and Adam aka Alex from Team Sean.
And you will never see two finer athletes.
"Name the team."
Fuck.
I see an "H," I see a star.
[narrator] This is tough. It'd be so much easier if you had a book on sports!
Come on.
It's the Houston Astros.
"Houston Astros."
[Alex and Bill] Send.
[kisses loudly]
Whoo!
Suck it!
"Adam" in all caps. "That's what I'm talking about!"
Oh! I love it!
The Astros.
There we go.
If you add another "s" to that, it's literally the Ass-tros.
[narrator] Houston, we don't have a problem. Good job, jocks.
Let's get ready to blast off with round two.
"Film."
Oh!
Who's it going to be?
Message: "Rebecca."
Yes!
In y'all's face, we about to destroy this!
-Miranda! -Yay!
[narrator] Get ready for the film face-off.
Not the movie Face/Off. It's a face-off about film.
Okay, what is it? I feel like I gotta get close.
"Name that film."
[mimics mechanical whirring]
Sex, insert in, plus the city.
Message: "Sex and the City."
Send.
Right!
Yes!
Wow, she knew that right away.
Message: "Yes!"
I feel like everyone else knew that one too.
[narrator] Good job, girl. So brainy.
You're such a Miranda.
Shoot...
Lemme see.
This is the universal symbol for okay.
Okay.
Finger in a hole plus building?
That usually means, you know, slapping skins.
Message: "Sex in the City."
[narrator] Ah! I just dropped my Cosmo.
Send.
Wrong? Bitch, you're wrong!
That was clearly Sex in the City. What the fuck?
Sex and the City.
Ouch.
Message: "Sorry, guys."
"Rebecca, don't worry about it.
Hashtag Team Four."
Let's focus on the next one.
[sighs]
[narrator] The red team is catching monumental Ls,
but they can still make their mark 'cause the next category is Landmarks.
Landmarks is a tough one.
Is that things like the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
and, like, Windsor Castle?
I mean, I'm decent at landmarks.
I know a lot about American history and world history.
Alright, message: "Shubham, you got this. You're the ringer.
Hashtag Team Red."
Alright, let's go.
I'm begging, Sean, please don't put me in.
I just gotta put full faith in my girl Sammie.
[Sammie] Oh, my God! I see my name.
I wanna cry.
I feel like this could go either way.
[narrator] Ooh, round three is what we're all here for.
The battle of the influencers.
[Shubham] "Name the city."
Oh, my God.
What?!
The middle one is a boxer.
What famous boxers do we have in America?
The iconic scene, he goes up there, and he's just like yeah!
Yeah, Adrian!
That's Rocky Balboa right there, baby.
It's the museum, the Rocky sculpture, and the Liberty Bell.
Message: "Philadelphia." Send.
Hell yeah. Duh!
[narrator] Let's see if the UCLA graduate has the "Eye of the Tiger."
The Liberty Bell, there's one in DC.
There's a lot of boxing things from Boston.
[clicks teeth]
Come on, Shubham.
I think it's Boston.
Message: "Boston"
Oh! That's not Boston, bro.
The crowd has gone silent, ladies and gentlemen.
[Shubham] Philadelphia!
Oh, my God, I feel so stupid.
[narrator] Oof! Really wondering if the red team can redeem themselves.
I feel like it only makes sense to give music to Joey.
Oh, Lord!
I'm definitely gonna go with Chris.
Ooh! It's Chris, bitch.
Hey!
"Which Jonas Brother is missing?"
Why would they give me a question for eight-year-olds?
Oh, my God, what is his name, Lord?
I don't know the Jonas Brothers!
[Chris] This is after my time!
Honey, I didn't grow up listening to the Jonas Brothers.
Oh, my God, Kevin, Joe...
Clayton?
That's Nick.
I'm sure of it.
Let's try Steve.
Oh my gosh, if it's Steve by some weird-ass chance...
Steve.
Steve Jonas?! No!
No, it's Mike, bro!
Ah! What the fuck is your name, man?
[narrator] Can Joey keep up with the Jonases?
Just put "Kevin Jonas." Put "Kevin."
If it's Joe, I'm done!
Oh, that is Kevin!
Oh, I knew it!
Message: "Way to come through, Joey."
[narrator] Chris didn't know who Kevin Jonas was. Joey did.
I'm not sure who I'm more embarrassed for,
but Trivia Night is over and they're about to find out who won.
I think they might have a clue, don't you?
Team Sean!
Yes!
[cheering]
[squealing] Ah!
Team Sean!
[groans] Ah! Team Sean.
[Chris] Shit.
This sucks, man, that we fucking lost, dude.
What do they get to do?
What's the prize?
At least tell us what the prize is.
[Alex] Yes!
"The winning team will each receive a video message from home!"
What?!
[Sammie] I'm gonna cry.
My heart is beating so fast.
Winning is so good!
Oh, my God!
This is, like, an insanely good first day.
I feel like they're all gonna have good feelings
about hashtag Team Sean,
which is, like, everything that I could ask for.
[narrator] So, Team Sean's players will get a video from home.
Captain Sean won't get one
because she's literally been here like 12 minutes, guys.
What? "Congratulations, here is your video message from home."
I'm so excited.
What is it?
I'm gonna cry, whoever it is. I already know I am.
Oh, my gosh!
That's my best friend Tess in the middle.
There's Kyra on the left and Kelsey on the right.
Hi, Miranda!
-[woman 1 and 2] We love you! -[woman 3] We love you so much!
[woman 1] We miss you!
Everyone at work misses you and we can't wait to see you.
[woman 2] I miss my friend. Come back!
We love you. We're so proud of you. You can do it!
That was so sweet. [laughs]
Oh, I miss them so much.
I'm being such a baby.
That was a good prize. I'm so happy.
[narrator] Next up, Adam aka Alex.
Hi, Alex!
It's your wife, Gina.
And Blooper.
Oh, little stupid Blooper.
Who's barely sitting still.
We're so excited that you've made it this far.
We can't wait to see you come home a winner,
[laughs]
[Gina] And we just can't wait
for the world to see what a special person we know you are,
Aw!
[Gina] And we love you so much.
So, good luck!
We love you!
Gina, Blooper. Ah!
I miss them so much.
I can't wait to come back to you.
I miss you so much.
I love you, Gina.
[narrator] On my mama, mama's boy Joey better have a message from his mama.
It's my ma!
Hi, Ma!
Hi, Joey, honey!
We miss you so much and we're so proud of you!
I hope you're having a great time seizing every moment.
Keep going!
You know Mommy, Daddy, your sisters, all of us, the whole family,
we love you, Joey!
You got this!
You are the most beautiful, wonderful boy.
We love you, honey.
Do the Sasso way.
Be honest.
That might be...
the best gift I've ever had in my entire life.
Rarely am I speechless.
I love you,
I miss you,
and I'm so thankful to have each and every one of you.
[narrator] Last is Sammie, with a message from her aunt.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Sam, it's me.
I just want you to know that we are super proud of you, Mimi.
You have followed your goals, your dreams.
You stepped off
and did something that was out of your comfort zone,
so we are so proud of you.
Your sister and brother started school.
I hope they follow in your footsteps
because you are making your dreams a reality.
Bring home the memories, the goals,
keep fighting, and you will win this.
[sniffles]
[Sammie] That was my aunt.
My dad's sister.
When my mom died, she was only, like, 21,
and she completely was ready to just raise a kid at 21 years old
that wasn't even hers.
And she sacrificed her 20s to raise me
and she didn't have to.
Nobody asked her to.
It made me who I am today.
Oh, my God.
Alright, take it away.
Oh!
That hit me hard for a second.
Gotta compose myself.
[narrator] After an emotional day, the players are drained.
Feels like an early-to-bed kind of night.
Night, Circle.
I hope when I wake up I forget about that stupid quiz.
[pop music playing]
♪ All I needed was the love you gave ♪
♪ All I needed for another day ♪
♪ And all I ever knew ♪
♪ Only you... ♪
[narrator] It's another dope day in The Circle.
Now, I'm just a humble narrator, I'm not sure of many things, but...
One thing's for sure,
I will forever know who Kevin Jonas is now.
And another thing's for sure,
the players are still thinking about those messages.
I got a video from my ma.
Oh, it made me so emotional. I love my ma.
♪ Al I needed was the love you gave ♪
♪ All I needed for another day ♪
-♪ And all I ever knew ♪ -♪All I ever knew ♪
♪ Only you ♪
Oh, the Circle is up, and everybody's there.
I look good!
Oh, I'm not an influencer anymore.
Sammie and my blue tick went away.
To be expected.
I think today's the day that I try to earn my blue tick.
Now, Sammie and Shubham aren't influencers.
Sean is here.
Look out.
[narrator] With two new players in The Circle,
the others are all eager to see who led them to glorious victory
or embarrassing failure last night.
Ah! [chuckles]
Let's start judging people without knowing them
'cause that's what I learned that we do!
This is a great opportunity to see what Bill and Sean are like.
Circle, can you please take me to Sean's profile?
Let's see what Ms. Sean is really all about.
Oh, wow.
Aw, she is so adorable.
Oh, wow.
Okay, look at them photos.
"Social Media Manager living in New York City."
Bold.
I hate social media with all my heart, so that makes me really nervous.
"Obsessed with breakfast food, scary movies, and gin and tonics."
Okay, honey.
You're already off to a great start.
Circle, let's open up the photos.
Come on, make 'em bigger.
Oh, shit.
I feel like her and Adam are gonna get along very well.
Oh, wow.
Who wears a bikini with heels?
Circle, open the top right photo, please.
That seems like a very unsafe position to be driving in.
She's driving a nice car.
Maybe she comes from money.
I could marry into wealth.
There is something fascinating about this one.
I'm looking at her and I love it all.
The mug, the style, the fashion, the social media.
There's something that's screaming to me, I just can't pinpoint what it is yet.
[narrator] More like who it is, Chris.
I'm just gonna go in there and have some fun today.
I'm just gonna make some friends,
be my cute little self,
make some people smile.
Like...
All my life, when I have done that, things have worked out,
so I don't think it's gonna be any different in here.
I feel like I got this.
Now, let's open up Coach Bill's profile, please, Circle.
Let me get a look.
Okay, nice smile.
Yeah, just a chill, down-to-earth dude.
I like it.
And he's got a great neck.
I've always wondered what it feels like to have a thicker neck.
Wow, there he is at the Friends fountain.
"Just a fun guy doing fun things."
[Joey] Bill seems like a good dude.
I like him.
I wanna give him a hug.
I wanna tell him: "Please retie your tie."
I love his floppy hair.
My hair is almost just as short as his.
We kinda got the same hairstyle going on.
It looks like it might be a frat environment he's in,
but that's fun.
Reminds me a little bit of Joey.
Bill looks very fun.
Truthfully, he looks like an honest guy.
I wish I knew what he did for a job.
Maybe he's a spy.
The pictures on the right are great.
He's smiling, he's with his friends,
he wears glasses.
Super cute.
If I was looking at this on a dating app, I would probably swipe right.
[Alex] "Just a fun guy doing fun things in the city of Chicago."
Now, I know I can immediately get along with Bill
because I spent five years in Chicago.
And he's going to have to be Adam's friend because I want everybody to love Adam.
He seems like a great person.
And yeah, I'm really digging Bill so far,
a hundred percent.
[narrator] After owning the trivia game last night,
Sammie wants to check in with her fellow winners,
Joey, Miranda, and Adam,
about those emotional videos.
Ooh!
Circle, take me to the Group Chat Video Fam.
[Sammie] Message: "Good morning.
Just checking in to make sure everyone's okay
after their videos.
I know mine had me crying like a baby, lol. How's everyone feeling?"
Send.
"Definitely crying like a baby, too. Exclamation point."
"You all know I'm a proud Mama's boy
and that video cut right to the core of me.
Best. Prize. Ever."
Send.
At Sammie: "Who was your video from?" Send.
Give 'em a chance to tell a little bit about someone they care about.
Message, at Miranda: "It was from my aunt.
My mom passed away when I was a baby and my dad wasn't able to raise me,
so my aunt took that responsibility."
Send.
I wonder what they're gonna say.
Aw.
That's... Sammie.
After I sent that message, everyone went silent and stopped typing.
I'm sure that was hard for her to share.
It's a really nice thing she did
and I'm happy that she opened the door to that.
Now, I'm scared.
'Cause now I'm really letting them in to parts of my life.
I don't want people to treat me different because of this information.
Sammie, I'm sorry to hear,
but your aunt sounds like a strong and amazing woman.
Exclamation point, smiley face."
Send.
"Sammie, family is a blessing. Your aunt sounds amazing."
Send.
I'm happy they kept it short and sweet.
Like: "Sorry, but your aunt's great."
Cool. Awesome. Move along.
Message: "Since we got to play the game last night with Sean,
do you think we should add Bill to this chatand get to know him?"
That's a great idea, let's do it.
[Bill] "Sammie has invited you to the Group Chat Video Fam."
I'm a little nervous.
[Sammie] "Bill has entered the chat."
"What up, my homie from Chi-town?"
"Pleasure to meet you, man. Welcome."
Chi-town, baby.
Message: "Bill, it has to be hard coming into this so late in the game."
"If you need a friend, know off the bat I'm here for you, bro."
God, I want Joey to be Adam's friend.
Damn, Joey's so nice. I love Joey. How easily I can be persuaded.
That's nice to hear. I'm glad.
Message, at Joey: "Damn, bro. Legit, it's so nice to hear.
I'm in. We're homies. Let's get this bread."
He looks like a nice guy.
I like Bill.
I wanna be Joey's homie.
It's okay. Bill isn't as physical.
Bill isn't as... like, charming. I got it.
"Anyway, I'm super excited to have met all of you guys,
but I gotta go back to gym time.
Can't wait to talk to my best friends later."
Wow, claiming best friends already.
Whoa.
Just kidding, call me your best friend.
Put me high in the ratings, that's all I care about.
Bill interacted with Joey a little more.
Joey's like... Joey's so friendly.
It's like Adam needs to learn to be a little friendly.
[narrator] So, Alex needs to make Adam more friendly.
If only there were some way
he could control what he says to other players.
And after feeling rejected from Joey and Bill's blossoming bromance,
he's turned to favorite fellow catfish Rebecca aka Seaburn.
Oh! Adam.
Message: "Hey, babe. How are you doing this morning?
I've been thinking about you. Hope you're doing alright."

[snickers]
He's so forward. He's like: "Hey, baby."
Like, it's weird 'cause, for me,
I'm the only one that calls my girlfriend "baby."
It's like: "Whoa, back up there, fella."
I really need to make Rebecca feel good
because I really need Rebecca to rank Adam high.
Ah. Message: "I am a little sad and feeling a little homesick
because I didn't know that winning trivia..."
"The surprise would be a video from home.
How about you?"
Message: "It was great to see my dog Zipper,
but I'm really feeling for everyone who didn't get a video, comma,
especially you."
Send.
I do genuinely feel bad for her,
but I would not have traded my video message for the fucking world.
Wow.
He's really coming to pursue Rebecca. Oof.
Message: "Last night really has me in a vulnerable place
because I absolutely cried.
I'm glad to know that you are on my side."
Message: "I wish there was a way I could cheer you up.
Red heart emoji.
Hashtag Rebecca and Adam forever."
Send.
Oh, she's gonna love that.
[narrator] Aw, you know imaginary girls so well!
Adam is really laying on the smooth-talking words today, sugar.
Maybe she'll come at me with something I can do.
This is good. This is really good.
We have a very high place with Adam.
That right there is gonna play to our benefit.
I always want her to be my ally
because, right now, I think that's the strongest connection I have
in all of The Circle.
[narrator] Speaking of connections,
having already made some positive ones during the trivia game,
Sean is hoping to make another one in the shape of Chris,
and it looks like homegirl gonna be taking some notes.
Out of all of these people,
Chris seems like the one who's gonna tell me like it is.
Everyone else has been playing it super nice.
So, Circle open a private message with Chris.
I hope that he is also excited to talk to me.
Circle, take me to the Private Chat, please.
Okay, message, all caps: "Hey, hey, hey!
How's it going, Chris, question mark."
And send.
That's already a fantastic start.
That sounds like me!
Those three dots are just like torture.
Come on, Chris.
Give it to me.
"Well, hello, hello, hello. Hi, Sean.
How are you, baby girl?"
Okay, so: "I feel like everyone has been so nice,
almost too nice,
and you seem like the type of person who will tell me like it is."
Okay, send.
"Laugh my fucking ass off, yes!
So, let's get to know each other.
I am an open book.
Feel free to flip through all the pages."
It's definitely promising that he says he's an open book,
and so I really love that.
I feel like this is good for me.
Message: "So, are you a makeup artist?
Your looks are," all caps, "stunning."
"Laugh out loud. Thanks so much.
That is so sweet.
Sean, I can't help but notice how stunning you are!
What's your beauty secret?"
Send message.
"What's your beauty secret?"
[laughing]
My secret is I use other people's photos.
My secret is it's not me at all, Chris.
I'm so sorry.
I did not mean to lead you astray,
but also I definitely did mean to lead you astray.
[narrator] And send.
Just kidding!
[Sean] Okay.
What do I want to say?
My beauty secret.
Alright, message: "OMG, you are seriously too nice.
This makeup works overtime for me, honey.
Period."
Let's do a crying laughing emoji.
Send.
Message: "I know the feeling, girl."
The Lord's grace keeps my mug together, lol."
And we can add the little prayer hands.
Send message.
Okay, got over that hurdle.
I feel like me and Chris are really getting along.
If you're reaching out to me and we're bonding like this,
you got somethin' good with me.
That's how I play this game,
by connection,
what I feel is coming through.
Girl, you got a homie right here.
Whoo!
That was fun.
[narrator] After missing out on a video from home last night,
Shubby wants to live vicariously through the winners,
Adam aka Alex,
and Joey aka the Jonas Brothers' number one fan.
[Shubham] "Guys, exclamation mark.
How are you doing living on your own, question mark.
Did the videos make you guys miss your family more than you did,
question mark." Send.
Message Shubby:
"Bro, I wish I could've shared the video that my mother sent me with all of you.
She's an angel." Send.
Message: "I miss my mom so much."
I haven't lived with her in a long time, but I still call her every day."
"But I still call her every day."
Adam, things like that make me like you.
He loves his mother, and I respect that.
I have to shut off all of the Alex because I need to be talking as Adam,
but I can't help but-- all this talk of home and family,
to think of my wife at home and our two little bundles of fur.
Message Shubby:
"Let me ask you, dude,
how's your relationship with your parents?" Send.
Message, at Joey:
"They're my best friends.
I drive every other weekend from LA to SF to be with them.
I'm an only child,
so I think that's what made it extremely strong." Send.
Whoa. Man, that is love.
It's hard being away from family.
Message: "Bros, all we need is a nice Italian girl
and our lives would be perfect." Send.
Message: "At this point, any company would be nice.
I'm feeling really lonely here." Or...
I wanna keep it lols.
Any...
"At this point, any company would be nice."
Send.
Oh, that's sweet. [laughs]
How do you respond to shit like this?
Message:
"I want both of you to know that you're safe with me
and I got both of your backs.
Hashtag the trust has been earned."
It's really hard. I feel like I was on a roll
and then it got into my head and I faltered.
Get back on your game.
Adam.
[trill lips]
Okay.
I like Adam.
This sucks!
Everyone seems to be having a lovely time here in The Circle.
Y'all know what that means, right?
[buzzing]
-Alert! -Alert!
Sound the alarm!
Oh, my God. What's happening?
"Players, it's time for the ratings."
♪ Da da-da da! ♪
[yells] Ah!
[Bill] "Players Sean and Bill cannot rate and cannot be rated."
Okay, good. I'm happy with that.
I get to see how everybody feels about everybody.
Everyone else is probably, like, shitting their pants right now.
[Shubham] "Once everyone has rated,
the top two Players will become Circle Influencers
and have the power to block."
If Adam isn't an influencer, let's hope that one of Adam's friends is.
So, I'm talking Rebecca and Joey because those are the people
that are gonna stick out their necks for me.
Circle, rate Adam sixth.
Simply because I'm just not a fan.
Adam gets the fourth spot.
Adam has really been laying it on thick with Rebecca,
so he has nothing but good rapport.
But, with me, I can see straight through the facade, my man.
I'm putting Rebecca in the second slot.
She's lovely, we have this kind of romantic thing going on.
In first place, I'm putting Rebecca.
Rebecca's my sister.
I trust her completely and I hope she gets first.
So, the second spot goes to Shubham.
Shubham has really had a way with words when it comes to Rebecca,
and, on top of that,
he's really just been an all-around genuine guy,
and we feel comfortable enough to be open with him.
Sixth position should be Shubham.
I think he's hiding something.
He's been an influencer twice since I've been here.
Everybody else loves him,
so me putting him in sixth position will kind of drag down his average rating.
In fourth place, I'd like to put Chris
because I still think
that he's a little gray in the area of who he's truly aligned with.
Third rating, Chris.
Another person who's spared me and been good to me.
Hopefully, I'm still on his good side.
You just gotta hope these people are gonna fight for you.
Well, I already know that I wanna have Joey on first place
because that's my main man.
I'm putting Joey second because I shared some things with him now,
so I feel like we have a different kind of connection,
and it's not so much flirting anymore, I feel like he's my actual friend.
So, this is where it starts to get tricky.
I'm going to put Sammie in fourth position.
I don't feel like she's really an Adam fan
or an Adam ally.
I enjoy Sammie and I respect Sammie, so I'm gonna throw Sammie in third.
I'm so sorry, Miranda. I'm gonna put you in my sixth place spot.
I feel like we've had a lot of opportunities,
but I still really don't know ya.
I think I gotta put Miranda in my fourth
because Miranda and I have talked more
and there seems to be more of a relationship.
"Ratings complete." Ah!
[narrator] After a stressful rating session,
Miranda decides this is the perfect time to start a little girl chat.
Ooh, I'm excited.
This should be fun.
Oh, boy.
Circle, take me to Girls Chat.
Message: "Hey, pretty ladies, exclamation point, smiley face.
Thought it'd be great to start a Girls Chat with our new girl, Sean.
Exclamation point. Heart."
[messenger beeps]
Yay! I'm here!
Alright, message:
"OMG. Yay.
I'm so happy to be here."
This is good. It's like bonding.
It's like real bonding time.
"I was really craving some girl time.
Honestly, I woke up this morning with the worst cramps.
Oh, my gosh.
Message: "That was me last week. Sad face.
Hoping you feel better soon, exclamation point."
[exhales]
Message: "Oh, my God, today's my last day and I am so happy about it."
I didn't even know that women went into so much detail
about... Mother Nature.
[laughs]
Now everyone is talking about their periods.
I am so happy that I started this trend.
[groans] Ah.
As Seaburn, I'm like: "I don't wanna know this,"
but as Rebecca, we have to, you know, know this.
[exhales]
Message:
"Try to keep something nice and warm in your system.
That really helps."
[Sean] Aw, so sweet.
Message, at Rebecca:
"That's funny you say warm because for me, it's anything cold.
-[messenger beeps] -[groans] Ah.
Message: "The only thing that helps my cramps
is curling up in a ball and making weird noises, lol."
Laughing face emoji. Send.
Message: "Don't be mad, lol,
but I honestly rarely ever get cramps."
"Sammie, you are hella lucky, girl, exclamation point."
[laughing, moaning]
Wow.
[exhales]
Message: "You are so lucky
that you do not have to deal with the whole crazy cramps.
Mine get really bad.
I absolutely wanna cry."
-Aw. -I know. Oh!
[Sammie] I feel for girls like that.
"The only thing that happens is my left side starts to hurt really bad."
Whoa, I have never heard that.
Your left side?
Is that where your appendix is?
"I've never heard of just your left side hurting."
Oh, we are booking it fast as hell.
Message: "I am getting ready to hop in the shower.
I can't wait 'til our next chat."
[narrator] Period!
That was fun.
Women, I freaking applaud each and every one of you.
[narrator] While Seaburn makes a pact to himself
to google menstruation when he gets out of here,
we have another bit of shocking news.
No!
Oh, shit.
"Players, the Ratings results are in."
This is really harshing my mellow!
I'm feeling really vulnerable after being influencer twice in a row.
We're starting with lucky number seven.
Oh, who's number seven?
Not Adam.
What?
Yes!
Wow!
She can't be feeling too good right now. That's nuts.
I'm seventh?
Nobody likes me.
[groans]
Does that mean she's last?
It's one hurdle.
So, let's look at who is sixth.
Come on.
Shit. It's okay.
Oh! It's Adam!
Poor kid's probably heartbroken.
I need to step up my game.
Oh, number four was tied.
Please don't be me and Joey.
I'm cool with that.
Wow, so I stayed the same. Not too bad.
Whoo-hoo!
[screams]
Wow!
Are you kidding me? This is perfect!
♪ Be Rebecca ♪
♪ Be, be Rebecca, baby ♪
♪ Be Reb... ♪
Okay. Come on, we're close.
We are close.
[narrator] So, that leaves Joey, Shubham, and Rebecca aka Seaburn
to fight it out for those influencer spots.
Third, just give it to me.
[exhales]
Wow!
No!
Are you kidding me?
Number three for a third time.
We're so close!
Come on. Who is it?
Who's first and second?
I can't be first again.
This is like: "Hey, here's a big target on Shubham's back."
[Joey] Oh, my God!
I love ya, Shoobs! We did it together!
Yes! I got second!
Yes!
Yes! Let's go!
Oh, God.
"As the most popular Players,
Joey and Shubham are now The Circle Influencers."
Oh, man.
I finally got the tick and it was a lot of work!
"Rebecca, Chris, Sammie, Adam and Miranda are at risk of being..."
"Blocked." Yeah, I got that.
[sighs] This is not fun anymore.
Oh, boy.
"Joey and Shubham, please go up to the Hangout."
This is great!
This is better than Christmas!
[narrator] You know the drill.
Joey and Shubby are heading to the Hangout for blocking and nibbles.
Oh, my God, what is this place?
This is nice.
I should be here all the time.
Is this a martini?
Is this what happens when you're an influencer?
You get food? Who doesn't like food?
I'm so proud of broey Joey.
I'm so happy I'm with Shubby.
I don't think I could talk about this with anyone else.
We can talk completely open and honest.
Say how we feel.
[narrator] But this is The Circle
and the surprises keep coming.
[buzzing]
"Alert."
This is the one time I'm not screaming it.
What is this? I don't think I remember an alert at a hangout.
[Seaburn groans[
Oh, fuck. Alert.
They've made their decision.
I feel it in my bones.
Man, that was quick.
I don't understand.
"Circle Influencers Joey and Shubby have entered the Hangout,
but cannot discuss who to Block."
What?
What do you mean we can't discuss who to block?
I thought that's what we do.
What?
What does that mean?
"Joey and Shubby can each save two players"?
Shit.
Oh, my God.
How does this happen?
There's me, Chris, Miranda, Adam, Rebecca.
Joey can pick two and Shubham can pick two.
So, one person is going home.
"The remaining Player will be Blocked from The Circle."
Oh!
How does this happen? I was excited.
"All Players must to Circle Chat now."
Am I in with all of 'em?
Oh, my gosh.
They're doing it in front of us.
The one time it happens, it goes like this.
This is crazy.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, no.
