[soft piano music playing]
3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,280
"Sammie.
4
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,240
Rebecca." Wow!
5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,720
I'm the first?
[chuckles]
6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,080
This is sick.
7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,360
I am stoked the five of us can get
the chance to meet.
8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360
And I'm hoping all four of them were
who I thought they were.
9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680
[Seaburn] I'm nervous
because they're gonna meet Seaburn...
10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,840
and then know I was a catfish.
11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,440
I'm dreading this part.
12
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,040
[softly]
Is someone coming in?
13
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,520
-Shubby.
-Joey?
14
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,520
No.
15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:11,960
Rebecca.
16
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:13,920
[gasps]
17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,920
[exclaims]
Oh, my God!
18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,400
-[laughs]
-[Seaburn] Hi.
19
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,600
How's it going, man?
20
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,320
-Hi.
-That was good.
21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,360
I was so nervous to meet you,
because I was like,
22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,000
-"Oh, Shubham is this super-cool dude..."
-No. Yeah, yeah.
23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,440
I'm like, "Oh, I really hope
he would be my friend."
24
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560
No, I mean-- [laughs]
No, I...
25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:50,440
For sure. It's just so crazy,
'cause we talked for so long.
26
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,400
[Seaburn] Yeah.
27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,560
[laughing]
28
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,600
I'm sorry. It's just so trippy to me.
29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
The way that we actually talked,
I was really being truthful.
30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,120
-So, the connections were real.
-So, the connection was real,
31
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,880
but it was just my girlfriend's photo.
32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560
And, Rebecca, what is your real name?
I'd love to know.
33
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,160
Hi. My name is Seaburn.
34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Seaburn? Oh, I love that. Shubham.
35
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,480
My question is:
if you were playing as yourself,
36
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,040
why didn't you come in as yourself?
37
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,960
So, it's funny because I came in
with this principle and this idea that,
38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,880
where I'm from, showing your emotion
is a sign of weakness.
39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,320
-[Shubham] Okay.
-And it's like...
40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,800
to be able
to wear your heart on your sleeve
41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
-and genuinely be able to do that...
-Yeah.
42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,280
...will it resignate more
as me being a woman
43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,480
than it would being a man?
44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Guys are always told
not to show their emotion.
45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Why can't we?
46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840
I really wanted
to get that message across,
47
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:41,760
which I did.
48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Look, we're sitting here,
49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,080
-and we're able to verbalize it.
-I get that.
50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,520
And at the end of the day, it's a game,
and I respect the fact that you did it.
51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,520
I was like,
"I hope that he'll see my truth
52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,640
and know that genuinely,
I really do care about you."
53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,680
-I was like--
-For sure.
54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,560
You remember day one, I was a mess, dude.
I got ranked eighth.
55
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,840
-Yeah.
-When you were there for me the next day,
56
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:03,000
and just saying...
57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,080
It just felt so good
that we had each other's backs.
58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,880
There was no other crap
we were putting in.
59
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680
There was no other nonsense.
It was just straight from heart to heart.
60
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,120
Yeah, and I really, genuinely was like,
61
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,160
"I want to make him my friend."
62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,840
So, my thing was coming in,
if I could come as myself
63
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,120
and show you that you didn't have
to do anything else except be yourself.
64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,160
It was more than enough.
65
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,600
So I think in the same way
that your belief got you here
66
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,280
is the same thing of mine got me here,
and it's interesting.
67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840
I called myself Sharky Shubham actually,
68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,280
'cause I was a catfish hunter
in the beginning.
69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,920
But there was a philosophy question
I debated halfway through...
70
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,040
Hmm.
71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,440
"If I knew someone,
like you or Joey was a catfish..."
72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Mm-hmm.
73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,200
"...would I have really changed anything
at the end?
74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Because if the connection was real,
and you were truthful in that..."
75
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,880
-Would it have made a difference?
-Would it have made a difference?
76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Obviously, it's crazy
that you weren't her,
77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320
but, I mean, the connection,
I think, is all that matters, you know?
78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,040
Yeah. I was like,
"Yo, I really do love him like a brother."
79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,320
It was weird, 'cause in a way,
80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
you and me, we were the ones
who protected each other.
81
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,600
Obviously, it wasn't what I expected,
but I have no regrets.
82
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
-I was like, "Oh, what if he hates me?"
-Yeah.
83
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:25,600
"What if he just is like, 'You're not
the girl that was in the picture'?"
84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,760
And to know
that it didn't turn out that way,
85
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,000
and that you can see
that my heart was in the game,
86
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,960
and that it was pure, and it's like...
87
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,840
To know that, I'm like,
"Yo, I'm so much happier."
88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,520
No, I want you know that I felt like...
Not sister now, obviously,
89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,640
-but brother.
-But brother.
90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,000
It was a sick relationship, man.
I really meant it.
91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Bros, you know.
92
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520
[Sammie]
Coming into The Circle, I had no idea
93
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,560
that I was gonna make it
all the way to the end.
94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,640
I just hope that I am what they expected.
95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,280
I'm so nervous.
96
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,880
It's Rebecca.
97
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,280
-No fucking way!
-[Seaburn laughs]
98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,000
[Sammie] No way!
99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Give me love.
You're so handsome.
100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,400
-[Seaburn] How are you?
-[Sammie] Good.
101
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,280
-Sammie, what's up?
-[Sammie squeals]
102
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,600
[squealing]
103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880
-I've been wanting to do this--
-Thank God you're real.
104
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
-Oh, my God!
-Thank God you're real.
105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,160
All I've been saying this entire week
is I can't wait to squeeze your butt.
106
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,600
Just like that, but I think...
I was like... Oh, my God!
107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,120
-It's good.
-So, I'mma be real.
108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Having girl talk with you,
109
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,360
-I was freaking out.
-Why?
110
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Because it was, like, my girlfriend...
111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,120
When the whole idea
of Mother Nature started coming up, right?
112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,440
-The period thing?
-[Seaburn] Yeah, I was like...
113
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,160
"Oh, shit!"
114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,040
At one point,
I was kind of questioning it, you know?
115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,280
I was like,
"This girl is way too emotional for me."
116
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560
So I was like, "Let me just chill out."
117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,800
And then we talked, and I was like,
"Nah, I'm good. She's cool for me."
118
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,040
-[Seaburn] Yeah.
-"I like it."
119
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,040
I was literally freaking out.
Like, "They gonna try to beat me up."
120
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,000
I was like, "They're gonna...
Joey is gonna hold me down.
121
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,600
He's gonna say, 'Sammie, grab his legs.'
And Shubham is gonna be like, 'Bam! Bam!'
122
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,680
And Chris is gonna be like,
'Get him, bitch!'"
123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,840
I'm dead.
124
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Guys, it was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do in my entire life,
125
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,240
-because--
-Being a girl?
126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,040
-Imagine...
-[Seaburn] Being a girl is hard,
127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,440
'cause now, I'm like...
128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,520
"Yo, I have a new, profound respect
for women." I'm like...
129
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,160
"Mom, I'm sorry.
I didn't know it was this deep."
130
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,920
-Weren't you in love with her?
-No, I wasn't. I really wasn't.
131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520
No, it was like we were siblings.
132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,120
I told him what I hated most
about this game
133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
was all the bullshit flirting
for manipulation,
134
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,520
and that was mine and Rebecca's thing.
And you too.
135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,880
I was so sick of how everyone
was talking about your looks.
136
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,160
You are so much more than that.
137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,240
Always, all the time.
I'm like, "Guys, I'm getting my master's.
138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,400
I'm not just a face."
139
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,000
I'm extremely happy that you're real.
140
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,680
-Me too.
-[Sammie] 'Cause I was like...
141
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,400
-"I love him."
-In the beginning,
142
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,080
it was a nightmare for me to come in.
143
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,600
You opened up to me and--
144
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,280
We're gonna get married.
145
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,360
[laughs]
146
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120
-It came out of nowhere, our connection.
-Yeah.
147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,880
I had to save Rebecca.
I had to save Joey.
148
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,200
For a second, I really did doubt you.
I really did doubt your emotions.
149
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,880
'Cause at one point, Chris came to me
and was like, "I'm not buying it."
150
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,160
And then, um... Yeah.
151
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520
And then, Ed and Joey called you out,
and I was like,
152
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,800
"Damn! So that's four people now
that's not buying it."
153
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,440
So at one point, I was questioning it,
154
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,320
and I wanted to hit you up
and be straight up.
155
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,120
[Seaburn]
No, it's funny, because I was like,
156
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,680
"Yo, honestly, Sammie is my girl."
I was like, "Without a shadow of a doubt,
157
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,040
-I'mma make sure I have her back 100%."
-Yeah.
158
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Through and through, I was like,
"Shubham, you, Joey."
159
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,720
All the time.
160
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440
-That was me.
-That was me from the beginning.
161
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,560
[Sammie] Every time.
162
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,960
No, but right? It was literally--
[laughs]
163
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,960
Yo, I was like, through and through,
it was just... They're it.
164
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
I was not expecting you to be...
165
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,800
-I was like, "Joey or Chris."
-[Shubham] Yeah.
166
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,080
[Chris] I'm so excited
to meet all of these people,
167
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,960
whether they're real or not.
168
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Finally see each other face-to-face.
169
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,520
[Seaburn laughing]
170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,240
[screaming]
171
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,640
-Chris!
-Oh, my God!
172
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Oh, my God!
173
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,080
Hi, honey!
174
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,200
[laughs]
175
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,400
Rebecca.
176
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,040
[loudly] Oh!
177
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Thank you, God.
178
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Oh, you knew it?
179
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,520
Oh, my God! I'm so glad you're a catfish.
180
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,400
[both laughing]
181
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,760
I am so glad you're a catfish.
182
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,040
How are you doing, my love?
Miss Sammie is real.
183
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,120
[Sammie]
Yes, it's me. Of course I'm real.
184
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,000
Shubham is real.
185
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,000
Oh!
186
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,720
-Bless your heart!
-[Shubham] Thanks.
187
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,240
-You're real.
-Yeah.
188
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Yay! We're freaking real, man!
189
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,680
Oh, my God! You guys! That's amazing.
190
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,520
Hi. I'm Seaburn.
191
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240
-I'm Chris Sapphire. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you, Chris.
192
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,200
[Chris]
It's a pleasure.
193
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880
-You guys, I'm so excited.
-[Shubham] Shubham, you're like...
194
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,560
I was in my room, and I was like,
"Oh, my gosh!
195
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,360
I feel like I'm giving birth
or something."
196
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,120
[laughing]
197
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,840
That whole anticipation is wild.
198
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,440
Tell us about you.
199
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,640
Oh, my God! I'm from Dallas, Texas.
200
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Dallas, Texas. Single since I was 15.
201
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480
That was real?
You really were serious about that?
202
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,560
-[Chris] Yes, single since I was 15.
-Wow!
203
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,440
Everything I said about myself is real,
everything.
204
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,960
I said, "I'm going in here,
and I'm going to just be myself."
205
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,280
I'm very spiritual, too.
I found God when I was 14.
206
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,360
My whole journey has been about that.
207
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Everything I've ever wanted to do
in my life,
208
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,200
-I pray about it, and it manifests.
-Yeah.
209
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,600
[Chris] No, I'm so excited. I was shaking.
I was like, "This is so wild."
210
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,560
I felt like,
"You're walking into the unknown.
211
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,160
You don't know who's gonna be there
and all that." But...
212
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,960
Oh, my gosh! I'm so glad you're a catfish.
213
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320
-I'm so glad because...
-I'm not.
214
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,440
...the last few rounds
of this amazing game,
215
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120
some things were not
adding up with me, you,
216
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,840
and I was like,
"Am I becoming paranoid about this shit?"
217
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,280
And, um, I was like,
"Crying over a guy you just met?"
218
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,080
And then when you were like,
"I'm not buying that biscuit," I said--
219
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,040
-[Sammie] Soggy biscuit.
-"Buying that biscuit."
220
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,400
-"...me, you, Ed, Joey."
-Ed and Joey.
221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,200
I was like, "So, it's not me
thinking something is wrong with Rebecca."
222
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,880
-[laughs]
-[Chris] I'm so glad.
223
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920
I'm hoping he's not... I'm gonna be--
224
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,400
-[Seaburn] I was like--
-This one!
225
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,960
[Seaburn]
"I can't wait to meet Chris."
226
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,000
He's last, and this is what's scaring me.
227
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Dude, if Joey's a catfish, I'm done.
228
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,960
[Seaburn laughing] Shubham...
229
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,520
[Joey] I honestly, right now,
can't even imagine what's about to happen.
230
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,920
There's just no way
everyone is who they say they are.
231
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,880
No matter who it is,
I wanna give everyone a big hug and kiss.
232
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Yeah.
233
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,640
What's up?
234
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,480
-You're real!
-[Seaburn] Joey!
235
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,280
-You're real!
-I'm in here!
236
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,320
-[Chris] You're real!
-I'm real!
237
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,880
-Freaking real, man!
-Oh, my God! I'm so excited you're real!
238
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Hi, sweetie.
239
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,680
-Shubby!
-You're real! Yes!
240
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,680
-Oh, my God!
-What's going on?
241
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,680
-Rebecca.
-[Joey] Rebecca?
242
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Joey. What up, baby?
243
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000
First of all,
I wanna say congratulations to you,
244
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,200
'cause you had me, dawg.
I'm telling you, you had me.
245
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,360
[Seaburn]
Bro, first, let me introduce myself.
246
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,280
-I'm Seaburn.
-How you doing, Seaburn?
247
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,920
-Pleasure to meet you, my friend.
-[Seaburn] The pleasure was mine.
248
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
-Can I just say, I'm so glad you're real?
-Thank you.
249
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,120
[Chris]
At the end of the day, I felt
250
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,320
with this game,
you can't trust anybody 100%.
251
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040
But now we've seen each other, it's like,
"God! It's real. Thank God. Yes!"
252
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,120
-This is so insane, man.
-Insane.
253
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160
I came in here saying...
254
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,280
"I am who I am.
That's who I've always been."
255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,400
You being honest 100%,
256
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,000
I respected that
every single step of the way.
257
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,440
And... I don't even...
You're my Broey Joey.
258
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Dude, you're my boy, baby.
259
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,320
Yo, can I just say? This entire time,
all I've been looking forward to...
260
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,040
-Was this.
-[Joey] ...was this.
261
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,720
-[Sammie] Literally this.
-Yes.
262
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,040
For sure. Man!
263
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,760
I genuinely feel the love in this room,
the connections that we made.
264
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Like, the thing I love
about this table right now,
265
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,360
why I think it's perfect,
266
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,680
is we're all so different but so similar.
267
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,560
-Yeah.
-[Joey] And it's a beautiful thing
268
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,560
that I just know,
after this is all said and done, man,
269
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560
-this is going to continue.
-I'm coming to Cali.
270
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,680
I'm going to Dallas.
271
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,400
-Yes.
-[Seaburn] I'm going everywhere.
272
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,720
The final cheers,
I honestly thought, coming into here,
273
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,320
I'd be sent home day one.
274
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,960
So, when I saw the eighth ranking,
I thought I was going.
275
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120
Every single one of you,
I connected on a real level.
276
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,080
I have no regrets.
I have none, even though you're--
277
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,680
-Oh, I'm sorry.
-[all laugh]
278
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,480
-It gets real.
-Shubby! He got me!
279
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,440
I really have no regrets, like you,
which is why...
280
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,640
I came here as myself,
281
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,280
and if that shows the world
that it worked for all of us.
282
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Honestly, the way I look at this, guys,
283
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,720
this has been an unexpected,
beautiful adventure in life,
284
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,320
something that I genuinely feel
is gonna be something we'll all remember.
285
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,640
-We gonna be old and crunchy, baby.
-This is special.
286
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320
[all toasting]
287
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Love you all.
288
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,920
[toasting in Spanish]
289
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,600
-[Joey] All right, baby, I'm with it.
-I don't know. I'm with it.
290
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,480
-Fuck it.
-I got nothing.
291
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
[narrator] It's time for the final five
to pack those suitcases,
292
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,040
'cause I'm ready to go deep
with each and every one of them.
293
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Whoa! Their last night was intense.
294
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
I'm exhausted just from watching.
295
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,120
Now it's time for the finalists
to leave The Circle,
296
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,480
and I cannot wait to meet all the players.
297
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,560
[audience cheering]
298
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,720
Not long from now, we will know
which finalist has won that 100K.
299
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,560
So exciting!
300
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,880
I'm Michelle Buteau,
and this is the finale of The Circle.
301
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,240
Whoo!
302
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,160
Oh, my God!
303
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,480
They may have been blocked
from The Circle,
304
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,560
but tonight, they've accepted
my friend request.
305
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,880
It's the blocked players, everybody.
306
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Oh, my God! So nice to meet you guys IRL.
307
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,760
I can't even stand my life!
308
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Ed and Tammy, oh, you guys!
309
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,600
-How you doing?
-[Michelle] I'm good.
310
00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:20,720
I got my plus-sized frock on. I'm amazing.
311
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,640
I'm so impressed that
you guys sussed out Rebecca right away.
312
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,640
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
313
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,440
-[Michelle] How did you know?
-My gut.
314
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760
After that first like conversation
in the group chat,
315
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,240
I was like, "Rebecca! No!
316
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,080
No! No way!"
317
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,120
And ever since then,
I had it out for her.
318
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,560
-I was just...
-You really did, though.
319
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,240
She was just too nice.
320
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,480
She was always crying,
too sweet, too kind.
321
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,640
Like, who's that nice?
So, Ed called it out right away.
322
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,920
-Nobody in your neighborhood.
-[Tammy] Yeah.
323
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,480
Now, Ed, do you think you would have done
a better job without your mommy?
324
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,200
Now, I'm gonna be honest here.
325
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,800
It was good having my mom.
She's lovely. She's an awesome person.
326
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,920
But I mean, I feel like anybody,
327
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,200
after that many days alone
with your mom...
328
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,920
you know?
329
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
That would drive
anybody a little bit crazy.
330
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,800
-[Michelle] Yeah.
-And we did butt heads,
331
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,960
but I think, at the end of the day,
we had a good time.
332
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,440
-It wasn't bad.
-And wait.
333
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,040
I had to actually see my son flirt
with all these beautiful women.
334
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,040
It was weird.
335
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,000
It was a little weird. I'm not gonna lie.
But good for you. Mazel!
336
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,640
Miranda, who are you most excited to meet?
337
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,960
Of course, I'm really excited
to see Joey tonight.
338
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,560
I already got to meet him a little bit,
339
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360
and we got to connect
on a different level, unlike--
340
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Yeah, I saw all the levels.
341
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,040
[laughs]
342
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,760
Yeah, we all saw the levels, honey.
343
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,120
-Now, Sean.
-Yeah.
344
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,000
-I love you so hard.
-Thanks, bb. I love you, too.
345
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,280
I was a little bummed
that you didn't come in as yourself.
346
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,160
-Aw...
-Do you regret that at all?
347
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,880
Um, no, because like I'm 100% me
all day, everyday IRL,
348
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,640
but this is The Circle.
This is a game, you know?
349
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,640
And, like, I love who I am. I'm glad
I got to get my pictures out there,
350
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,520
'cause I'm real cute too?
You know what I mean?
351
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,760
[laughs]
352
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400
But my life is on social media.
I see the trolls.
353
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960
People just have those little biases
in their head.
354
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,000
Do you know what I mean?
355
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,040
And I didn't wanna have to wade
through that bullshit, you know?
356
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,880
-Okay. I'm not mad.
-[Sean] Thanks, girl.
357
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,760
-Hey, girl.
-Hello.
358
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:18,960
-Hi.
-Hi.
359
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,320
-[Michelle] How you doing?
-Good.
360
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Are you bummed
you were the first one blocked?
361
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,240
I was the first one blocked.
362
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,480
-Have you been eating tacos ever since?
-I've been eating tacos all day every day.
363
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,560
-You do not eat tacos all day.
-Every day.
364
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,400
-Bill.
-What's up?
365
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,720
-Oh, my... How are you?
-I'm good.
366
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,480
You were so new to the game,
367
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,880
and you just called everybody fake
right away.
368
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,720
-I did.
-What is your deal?
369
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,360
It was just eye-rolling.
Every single comment was just like,
370
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,320
"I love you," "Loyalty,"
all this and that,
371
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,400
and I'm like...
372
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,440
-You don't like love? What's happening?
-Love in the first day? I don't know.
373
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,200
I don't think I believe in that, so...
374
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,800
Oh, my God! Who hurt you?
375
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,880
[laughing]
376
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,320
-Adam, Alex, what do I call you?
-Take your pick.
377
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,000
-How you feeling tonight? Aroused?
-[Alex] Whoo.
378
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,400
Adam is very aroused
with all these beautiful people.
379
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,120
Alex, happily married. Uh...
380
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Can't possibly be aroused.
I mean, maybe a little bit, but... Shh.
381
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,240
[Michelle] Okay.
382
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,920
-Antonio.
-[Antonio] What's up?
383
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
[Michelle] I'm so surprised
you got blocked so early on in the game.
384
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,480
-I know. Me too. It's crazy.
-Why do you think that happened?
385
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,360
I believed everyone was everyone in a way.
386
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,960
-I think that bit me in the ass.
-Okay.
387
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,200
Except for me.
388
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,680
[laughs]
389
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,360
Hi, squirrel-friend.
390
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,080
So, are you happy
with the final five right now?
391
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,200
-Um, yes. I'm a little biased.
-[Michelle] Okay.
392
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,120
I'm Team Chris.
393
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:41,680
Rebecca, I just said from the beginning,
this Cinderella, princess of the ball...
394
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,920
-like, yeah, this is bullshit.
-Okay.
395
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Shubby was like a little brother to me,
so it was different. It was good.
396
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,600
-Well, it's time to meet them, honey.
-[Karyn] Let's go.
397
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,960
They say everything is bigger in Texas.
398
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,320
And if we're talking heart, spirit,
and love,
399
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,120
they'd absolutely be correct
about our first finalist.
400
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:01,720
As they say in Texas,
he ain't bitin' around a cookie, honey.
401
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,080
It's Chris!
402
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720
[audience cheering]
403
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,240
[Chris]
Oh, my God!
404
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Hi, beautiful. How are you?
405
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,040
Oh, my God!
406
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,040
Come sit down over here.
407
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,880
[Chris]
Oh, my God!
408
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,320
-Y'all are gonna make me cry.
-Oh, good.
409
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,240
-How are you?
-It'll ruin your makeup, though.
410
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,800
I know. Oh, my God!
411
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,600
So, normally, I'm very zen and chill,
412
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600
and right now, I'm so adrenaline.
I'm like, "Oh, my God!"
413
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,040
Why do you think you're still here,
one of the finalists?
414
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,080
Girl, I'm still trying to figure that out.
415
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,440
I really came into this blind.
I didn't know how to play the game.
416
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880
I had never heard of it. I was at home--
I keep telling my story.
417
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,120
I was at home in some stretchy shorts,
eating sunflower seeds, chilling,
418
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,720
and then, next you know, here I am.
419
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,320
I love this so much.
You were just yourself.
420
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,400
That's it. I try to be.
421
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,280
Just eating seeds in comfortable shorts,
just figuring out what life is.
422
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:02,120
Messed up hair, no makeup,
chilling, documentaries.
423
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Is it weird talking to people
face to face now?
424
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,720
'Cause it's always, "Message and send."
And now, it's IRL.
425
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,960
Uh, a little bit.
426
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,000
Well, I love meeting people
out in the real world.
427
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,560
I'm such a people person.
428
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,040
I could be at the restaurant, "Hey!"
All that good stuff.
429
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:19,840
But it's just been so surreal.
430
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,800
You were such a good friend to people.
431
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,800
Thank you for that.
That makes me feel good.
432
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,160
I was always trying to watch what I said.
I'm like, "I don't want to hurt nobody--"
433
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,360
-You were trying to watch what you said?
-I tried.
434
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,840
[Michelle]
That was you holding back?
435
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560
I'm always trying to think,
"I don't want to hurt no one's feelings."
436
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,440
Because I remember
when I was a little kid, um,
437
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600
somebody threw a big, old ball
at my head in gym.
438
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,600
I thought it was this girl,
and I just went nuts,
439
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,600
and she started crying.
440
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,360
I didn't know she had a crush on me.
And ever since that,
441
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,640
I said, "I am never going to try
to hurt anyone's feelings."
442
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,560
-So, I try to keep it real, but--
-Well, you definitely kept it real.
443
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,440
You were full
of love, and light, and laughter,
444
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,160
and we're gonna see some of this
right now.
445
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,120
Oh!
446
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,040
What's poppin', everybody?
447
00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:59,640
It's my boy, Chris.
448
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,840
Good morning, girls.
449
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,480
[in sing-song]
How are you?
450
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,440
We all know there's only one Beyoncé.
451
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,960
Dun, dun, dun!
452
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,240
Aim for the drain.
453
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,640
That's what I always say.
454
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,760
I love Chris.
455
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Girl, you got a homie right here.
456
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Ooh!
457
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,680
He definitely is nice
for reaching out to me.
458
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,600
I woke up feeling fresh as a lettuce.
459
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Chris can relate to every single person,
which is something I can't do by far.
460
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,920
That is true.
461
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,680
"You are absolutely gorgeous.
462
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,720
God makes no mistakes,
463
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,360
and he didn't start with us."
464
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,640
That is a powerful message, Chris.
465
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Damn!
466
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,400
Top five just being myself.
467
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,240
[audience cheering and applauding]
468
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,040
So a lot of people thought
you were people-pleasing
469
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:49,360
-because you were so nice at one point.
-Yes.
470
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,040
-What do you think about that now?
-No, it's just me being me.
471
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,360
What would Jesus do?
You know, keep it real. Be nice.
472
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,800
Give everybody a fair chance.
Don't judge folks.
473
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,600
I've been called everything in the book
in my life.
474
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,640
I've been called fake.
I've been called real.
475
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,360
I've been called ugly, handsome.
I used to have acne. I've been called fat.
476
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,360
I've been called
everything you can think of.
477
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,840
But the definition of me comes from God,
and that's where I get my confidence.
478
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,080
It's called godfidence.
It's a little bit different.
479
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,000
Put it on a magnet. I'm into it.
480
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,080
That's it. It's godfidence.
I can feel it now.
481
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,520
I feel it coming through my body.
I'm like, "I'm feeling it."
482
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,800
I love you so much.
483
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,560
-[Chris] Thank you.
-[Karyn] Yes!
484
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,720
Thank you so much. Virgo power!
485
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,160
What are you gonna do with the money
if you win it?
486
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,920
Oh, please don't make me cry.
487
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,840
I feel like you've almost started to cry
a couple times right now.
488
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,000
I feel like I'm on Oprah. This is so wild.
489
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,160
Look under your seat.
490
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,080
There's nothing there!
491
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,560
I was like, "Is there some cash?"
Pay a bill.
492
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,680
No, you know, I grew up...
We didn't really have too much money,
493
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,320
and my parents have given me the world
and my brother the world.
494
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,800
And it breaks my heart sometimes
when I'm hanging out with my mom,
495
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:51,960
and she's eating...
496
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,280
and she kind of is choking a little bit.
497
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,720
And so we don't have money
to do that kind of stuff.
498
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,240
Implants are so expensive.
499
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,840
And I thought,
"I want to bring my mom's smile back
500
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920
because she's given me a smile
every day of my life."
501
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,840
See? I'm telling you, don't make me cry.
502
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080
And I would like to build a tiny home.
[laughs]
503
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,400
-Build myself a tiny home.
-Oh, my God.
504
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,360
I think that's what I would do
with that money.
505
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,960
I feel you've built a large home of love,
506
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,440
and everybody wants
to come through your doors,
507
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,880
'cause you are amazing.
508
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,880
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you. Thank you so much.
509
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,040
[Michelle]
Give me a hug.
510
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:23,760
Now, go sit with the blocked players.
511
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Thank you so much.
512
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,520
-Thank you.
-[Karyn] Go, Chris! Let's go, baby!
513
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,640
Let's go, papi! It's all about you, baby.
I told you.
514
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,120
-I told you, baby!
-Thank you!
515
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,640
[Michelle]
Now, our next finalist.
516
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,920
She's the Cabrini-educated queen
of the friend zone.
517
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,800
Y'all, it's Sammie.
518

[audience cheering]
519
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,800
[Michelle] Hi, boo!
520
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,680
How are you?
521
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:53,360
-Come over here.
-Oh!
522
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,960
I know. Look. It's your face.
523
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,880
-Congratulations...
-Thank you.
524
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
...on being the last real woman standing.
525
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:00,680
[audience cheering]
526
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,040
That's usually how it is.
527
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Why do you think
you're the last woman standing?
528
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,600
How did you think you made it that far?
529
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,680
-I don't know. I was just myself.
-[Michelle] Mm-hmm.
530
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,920
And I just tried as hard as possible
to be genuine,
531
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,880
so I feel like...
532
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,200
that's what got me here. I don't know.
533
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,920
What was that dinner like?
I was nervous for you.
534
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,320
It was intense. I was scared,
because I was so scared going in there--
535
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,800
I had a feeling that
536
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,800
there was obviously gonna be people
in there that weren't gonna real.
537
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,080
And I was just praying that Shubham
and Joey were gonna be real.
538
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,080
-That's all I was worried about.
-[Michelle] I loved watching you
539
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840
because you had such a strong sense
of what's right and wrong.
540
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Do you think that made the game easier
or harder for you to play
541
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,480
because, you know, you were so decisive?
542
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,160
Um, I would say it made it easier,
543
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,760
because I was able to just make up my mind
about a lot of things.
544
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,120
I would talk myself through it,
545
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
but at the end of the day, I was like,
"I'm not gonna not be myself."
546
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,320
You know what I also love?
547
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080
I love how you were not into the flirting,
not even a bit.
548
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,040
No, I'm so bad-- Well, I'm not bad.
I'm better at it in real life.
549
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,000
I can do it,
but having to not only say it,
550
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,000
and then read it, and decipher it,
I was like, "Oh, my God! That's so--"
551
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,000
We have the receipts, honey.
Let's roll that tape.
552
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,800
-[Sammie] Oh, fuck me!
-[Michelle laughs]
553
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:10,840
"What up? What up?"
554
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,920
[retches]
555
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,840
Gagging already over him.
556
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Please don't try and flirt with me.
557
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,440
I'm kind of grossed out
by the "aroused" part.
558
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,840
Too much for me.
I'm not into that romantic stuff.
559
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440
[retching]
560
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,440
I think he just wants to get... turned on.
561
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Oh, my God! No, Adam!
562
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040
[retching loudly]
563
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,200
God! This is...
564
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,640
[blathers]
565
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,720
He totally reminds me
of the douches I went to college with.
566
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,720
Next!
567
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960
No way! Get out of there!
568
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,360
Shut it down.
569
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,760
-[audience cheering and applauding]
-[Michelle imitates retching]
570
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,880
I do that about everything. I literally...
That's my ultimate thing. I just gag.
571
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,840
But not... Well, you know,
that's not what I meant.
572
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,360
But what's your type then?
What would you consider romantic?
573
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,400
-My type?
-Yes.
574
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,160
I'm not romantic at all.
Literally, it's really, really bad.
575
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,840
It's actually sad a little bit.
576
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,040
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
577
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:07,880
-I feel like you have two sides, right?
-[Sammie] Mm-hmm.
578
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,560
You talk about your good girl side,
your bad girl side.
579
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,960
-Absolutely.
-You're getting your master's.
580
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,720
-I am.
-But you got a lot of booty shots.
581
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,640
Oh, yes.
582
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,560
Do you think girls have a hard time
on the internet?
583
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,040
If they post a sexy picture,
that's inviting people to flirt?
584
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:21,000
[Sammie]
Absolutely, it's hard.
585
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,360
Because on one end, I'm like,
"I wanna be sexy and post a picture
586
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,600
because I'm comfortable with myself,
and I don't care."
587
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,560
But at the same end, it's like,
my day job, I can't post things like that.
588
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,280
So, then people are like,
"Wait. Don't you work with kids?"
589
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,240
-So, it gets--
-[Michelle] Finding that balance.
590
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,600
Yeah, it gets hard.
591
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,360
-Live your life, girl. That's what I say.
-[audience whoops]
592
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,680
You had your doubts early on
about Rebecca, and you were proved right.
593
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,880
Do you think
you should have gone in harder
594
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,680
on Rebecca like Ed did,
595
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,240
-you know, like Joey did the one time?
-Yeah, I feel like, um...
596
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,920
I felt like, at one point,
I was set on it.
597
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,800
I was like,
"Okay, I have my mind made up."
598
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,320
But then after talking to her,
599
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,520
and after thinking about it,
and sleeping on it,
600
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,920
and thinking about all these things,
my head gets into it,
601
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,320
and I'm like,
"Well, she's really, really emotional."
602
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,960
That was my hardest issue. It was like,
603
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,760
"This girl is way too emotional.
I can't get with it."
604
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,400
So, you didn't wanna hurt her feelings?
605
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,600
No, I was just like, "There's no way
that one person is this emotional."
606
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,480
But on the other end,
I was thinking about it,
607
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,160
"Okay, well, I'm so unemotional
when it comes to...
608
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,600
the things
that she was being so emotional about."
609
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,080
I was like, "I can't look at her
and frown upon her being
610
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,920
on one end of the spectrum
of being so upset."
611
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,560
We keep talking about it like it's her.
612
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,560
-Right? I know!
-[Michelle] Now that the news is in
613
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,920
-that it's not her. It's Seaburn--
-I know. I was upset.
614
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,040
-Right?
-Mm-hmm.
615
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,680
How do you feel about Seaburn?
616
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,360
I was upset. Yeah.
617
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,120
It wasn't like
a super-angry kind of thing,
618
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,920
but at one point,
I had her all the way up here.
619
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,400
And so the fact that I kept her
all the way up here in my head
620
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,520
because I just felt like
I couldn't judge her on her emotions...
621
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,440
[Michelle] Right.
622
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,760
Then I was like, "Damn!
It wasn't even real the whole time."
623
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,600
Right, it's a game.
What have you learned about social media?
624
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,280
What's the biggest lesson
you've taken away?
625
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:56,920
Don't trust nobody.
626
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,600
-Nobody can be trusted at all.
-[Michelle] Yeah.
627
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,400
Not even myself at some points.
628
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Thank you so much, Sammie.
I love all the lessons learned.
629
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,640
-You're amazing.
-[Sammie] Thank you.

Oh, my God!

He came in as a social media naysayer,
633
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,400
but after being an influencer four times,
he became a social media hey-sayer.

[Michelle] Hi. Welcome.
638
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,880
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,080

Oh, my God! Shubby! Can I call you Shubby?

Yeah, go ahead.

-[Michelle] It's good to see you.
-Yeah, you too. Yeah.

[laughs]
644
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480
So, you really weren't on social media
at all.
645
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,760
-I wasn't, yeah.
-[Michelle] And you actually thought...
646
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,920
social media was the devil. Is that right?
647
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,040
Social media is social Medusa, yeah.
That was my phrase, yeah.
648
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,520
Welcome to hell. How does it feel?

00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,480
So, you have very little experience
with social media, right?
652
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,040
-Yeah.
-Do you think that helped you or hurt you?
653
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,800
I think it helped me tremendously.
654
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,960
Coming here, I knew
that I had a point to prove.

00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,120
I think it's because I had
those strong points
656
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,960
that I think social media is just...
the bubonic plague of our modern time.
657
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,400
So, I think that helped me tremendously.
658
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,880
I mean, coming in here, I was so nervous.
659
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,560
These group chats were alien to me.
660
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,880
I hate flirting.
I don't understand flirting.
661
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,720
I don't know how to write witty comments.
I don't know emojis.
662
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,960
I really did think
I was going out night one,
663
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,120
and I was at peace with it.
664
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,720
I said, "I'd rather be myself
and be blocked day one
665
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,000
to get to the end being fake."
666
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,840
Once you got those likes,
I felt like you were feeling yourself.
667
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
-Yeah, well--
-So, then you understand, right?
668
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,640
The serotonin is popping.
669
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,840
You're like, "Oh, my God!
I'm connecting with people."
670
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,760
No, I don't get the digital likes.
I never will.
671
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,720
But, like, for me, I'm a competitor.
I love to compete more than anything.
672
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,920
I knew I had to fight hard.
673
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,920
I built relationships.
I put everything I could in those bonds.
674
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,440
It showed. Everybody loved you,
675
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040
and we also got the receipts
to prove that. Play 'em.
676
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,520
I get so excited in these private chats.
677
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,240
[grunts]
678
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Message Rebecca, "I really like
how honest and open you and I are
679
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,360
at the beginning of this."
680
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640
"I feel like we can form a real connection
681
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,840
and work together in an alliance
till the end."
682
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,120
Yes!
683
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,840
"Bro, it's crazy how in-sync we are.
684
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,360
You're my boy, Blue."

[imitating drum beats]
686
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,720
He just squishes my heart.
687
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,880
Oh, this is adorable.
688
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,040
This guy continues to amaze me.
689
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,560
"Shubby, I would die for you."
690
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,240
Oh, that's so sweet.
691
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,680
You can't not like him.
692
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,880
"I love you with all my heart,
and I know you've always had my back."
693
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,800
Yay! My brother Joey still loves me.
694
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,560
That's how I feel.
695
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,120
Rebecca's been my day one.
She's like a night light
696
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,320
when you're a little kid,
and you put it in your room
697
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,440
so you can fall asleep
when all the scary stuff happens.
698
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,000
The player I'm saving is...
699
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Yes!
700
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,120
[audience cheering]
701
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,000
-Shubby...
-Yeah?
702
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,480
Look, I know you don't like social media
and what it's doing to us,
703
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,520
but I have to say,
you played a great game.
704
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,600
You're really good at it.
705
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,920
And you connected with people real hard,
right?
706
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,720
-I tried. I did everything I could.
-[Michelle] You did it.
707
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,200
You especially fostered a relationship
with Rebecca.
708
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Yes. Yeah, I did. Yeah.
709
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,240
[Michelle]
Have you had some time to...
710
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,160
sort of figure out what that whole
Becky bombshell situation is about?
711
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,480
I mean, yeah.
712
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,400
I saw Rebecca, or Seaburn,
and it threw me off my feet.
713
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,960
I won't lie. It hurt me. It did,
714
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,480
because... Rebecca, for me,
was like the sister,
715
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,440
the same way I saw Sammie, right?
716
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,000
And, like, I don't know
what Rebecca did for me.
717
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,680
She's made me feel so safe in this
from the beginning to the end.
718
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,400
So to see Rebecca at the end be Seaburn,
it kind of hurt.
719
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,280
But talking to Seaburn,
I knew he came from the heart 100%.
720
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,560
So the way I look at it is
it's everything was the same.
721
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560
It's just Rebecca was Seaburn.
722
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,160
But it's a game.
He played his ass off,
723
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,240
so I think the connection
was there for me.
724
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,440
I know it was there from him.
725
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,560
Did you fall
for Rebecca just a little bit?
726
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,320
No, I really didn't.
I said this from the beginning.
727
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,280
I really had no romantic interest
for anyone, and I--
728
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,520
'Cause it seems like
you really took care of her, right?
729
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,360
You friend-zoned yourself when Adam...
730
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,480
Yeah, the Adam thing.
731
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,760
...came in the picture.
You know what I mean?
732
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,720
-You went hard for her.
-Yeah, well, I mean, it was just like...
733
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,000
You come into the game,
and you build these relationships,
734
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,520
and you don't realize how much of yourself
you're putting into those bonds.
735
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,560
And for those four, Chris, and Sammie,
and Joey, and Rebecca,
736
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,720
for me, at the end,
it was like more than anything.
737
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,720
I don't know.
738
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Another bond I really enjoyed watching
was you and Joey.
739
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,640
-Yeah, Broey Joey. Yeah.
-Broey Joey.
740
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,320
You guys had that bromance poppin'.
741
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Now, which came first,
the alliance or for the friendship?
742
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,240
It was the friendship. It always was.
743
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,520
Okay, so the friendship just turned
into alliance.
744
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,920
'Cause it felt like you guys were
running stuff for a bit.
745
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,600
I mean... it probably did,
but at the end of the day,
746
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,840
Joey and me were completely honest
with each other since day one.
747
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,040
And yeah, I mean, it was the friendship.
748
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,400
I think, in this game, it's the friendship
that takes hold of everything,
749
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,760
and the alliance
is like a bonus sprinkle on it.
750
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,480
-You're really good at strategy.
-[Shubham] Sure.
751
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,200
So let's just say, hypothetical situation,
you were to be a catfish.
752
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,160
I am fascinated who you would pick.
753
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,080
[exhales] I mean,
I would have come as an old person,
754
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,880
'cause I think
there weren't many old people,
755
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,880
and I would have loved
to see an older person
756
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,400
to connect with them, because I think...
757
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,920
We miss that, having that older person,
who has all that life experience
758
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,080
and could have taught us a lot.
I don't know a lot.
759
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,760
I have so many flaws,
760
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,520
and it would have been nice
to connect with his older person.
761
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,040
I would've liked to be that,
but I wouldn't have been a catfish.
762
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,360
I never will be,
and I would have been myself.
763
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,560

you'd be one of the finalists?

No, I was having a heart attack

-Every day.

-Is that why you were wearing sunglasses?
-Yeah.

Well, yeah, I mean, you gotta throw in
the sunglass vibe every now and again.

wear them out tonight, but I figured,

"You know what?
Let's keep it a little classy."

-Okay.
-A little classy.

I said, "Hello."

You flirted with almost everybody.

That's true. Yeah, that is true.

-[Michelle] You know what I mean?
-[Joey] Yeah.
799

[Michelle]
You think it helped or hurt you?
800
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,640
Uh, I think it could have went both ways.
801
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:20,600
I mean...
802
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:23,240
you see attractive women, you say hello,
803
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,200
and get a little chemistry
going back and forth
804
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,200
and see what happens.
805
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,200
-[Michelle] Yeah?
-Yeah.
806
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,040
You flirted with Alana right away.

-Alana was my girl.
-[Michelle] Yeah.

-Hi, Joey.

Some of your flirting was next level.

-[Michelle] Like with Miranda.
-Yes.
812

You told her you had a real connection
with her,

-Yes.

00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:56,800
[audience] Aw!
822
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,240
It also didn't take him long
to make it up to you.
823
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,000
-[laughs] Not long at all.
-Yeah, roll that tape.
824
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,320
Oh!
825
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,600
Now, let me ask you...
I'm always a complete gentleman,
826
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,360
but I am crazy attracted to you.
827
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:15,960
[laughs] Just get out of here.
828
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,800
Is there any chance you would want
to give me a goodbye kiss?
829
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,320
I would love to.
830
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,280
-Just one, because I'm a gentleman.
-Just one.
831
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,000
And there's no one watching.
832
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,520
Win it.
You got a little makeup on your lip now.
833
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,640
-I like the makeup.
-Good.
834
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,440
I don't wear it often,
but I had to for you.
835
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,400
Oh, my God!
Can I walk you to the door?
836
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,720
[Miranda] Please do.
837
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:46,720
Wow!
838
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,680
[audience cheering and applauding]
839
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:51,800
[Michelle] Excuse me.
840
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,840
I mean, did you ever think that
you would make a connection like that?
841
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,320
No, I did not, to tell you the truth.
842
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,120
I mean,
Miranda is still just so hot and bothered.
843
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,680
[Joey]
Miranda is amazing, honestly amazing.
844
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,400
-That's what was hard...
-I'm gonna cry.
845
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,360
...factoring in you have
a personal connection with someone,
846
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,240
but you have to remember it's a game.
847
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,440
And loyalty to me is everything,
848
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,240
and both Sammie and Chris were there
for me early on, had my back,
849
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,280
and I had to do what I had to do
in that moment. It was--
850
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
You gonna go on that date
and take her home to Mom Sasso?
851
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,600
A hundred percent. We're going.
A hundred percent.
852
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,400
[Michelle]
I hope you like meatballs.
853
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,360
[Joey]
A hundred percent.
854
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,520
Um, another lady
you made a connection with was Sean.
855
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,680
"Hashtag I got your back,"
is what you said,
856
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,080
and then you stabbed her in that back.
857
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,920
[Joey]
I did. Yeah. Explanation?
858
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,680
No, I did feel a real connection to her.
859
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,320
But what happened was
I didn't know where I stood with her,
860
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,080
because, in my mind,
861
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,200
she did something
so courageous and heroic,
862
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,240
I would think everyone's gonna
have her back and be there for her,
863
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,320
and I didn't know until I was talking
to her one-on-one
864
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160
that she really did feel that connection
to me.
865
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:00,720
And that's what's hard
when you're losing things over text.
866
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,360
-Sean?
-Yeah.
867
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,080
So, the fact that Joey put...
868
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,240
both of you guys, you and Miranda,
in situations, right?
869
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,280
Do you think he was really
just playing the game with his heart,
870
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,120
-or do you think it was all strategy?
-It's hard, because...
871
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,360
It was kind of like
the worst kind of irony to be honest,
872
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:23,240
'cause Joey didn't know where I stood,
but I had him at number one that night.
873
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,840
It just really goes to show
you have no idea what's going on in here.
874
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,520
Of course, there's probably
a little bit of gameplay,
875
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:30,640
but I played the game too.
876
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:34,120
You know? And I do think Joey
has a good heart overall, honestly.
877
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,280
Yeah.
878
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,560
One of the friendships that you made
was probably one of my favorite,
879
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,600
you and Shubby.
880
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,920
[yells] Shubby! Shubby!
I love that kid.
881
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,880
[Michelle] Could not have been cuter,
I mean, the bromance.
882
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,240
Like, would you guys have this connection
in real life, do you think?
883
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,880
The thing is Joey and I,
we're different in so many ways.
884
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,360
It's the truth. You put us together,
885
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,400
we're two peas in a pod
that shouldn't be together.
886
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,960
But with me and Joey, I understood
where he was coming from from day one.
887
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,960
Someone who was so up front,
so honest, so himself.
888
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,720
Broey Joey was my best friend.
He was my brother in that.
889
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,240
Towards the end, I would have
probably given my game for him.
890
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,800
-Love you, bro.
-[audience cheering and applauding]
891
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,680
Yeah. Joey, what do you have
to say to that?
892
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Honestly, like, I totally think
we would be friends
893
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,240
if we met out in the world.
894
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,920
I have so many friends
that are different every sort of way,
895
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,840
and honestly, I don't like hanging out
with people like me
896
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,840
'cause I think they're annoying.
897
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,320
[audience laughs]
898
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,000
-Joey, if you win...
-[Joey] Yeah.
899
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,280
...what will you spend the money on?
900
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,120
I have a brand-new apartment
that I just got
901
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,680
that needs to be furnished.
902
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,480
I'm basically going back, starting over.
It's a new chapter.
903
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,720
Moved out of my old place.
904
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,400
Also, I have an aunt who I love dearly,
who probably needs some help,
905
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,760
and my parents,
who've been there for me since day one.
906
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Oh, my God! I wanna come
to Christmas at your house.
907
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,040
-Thank you, Joey. you're amazing.
-Thank you.
908
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,520
[audience cheering]
909
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,960
-[Joey] So nice meeting you.
-You too.
910
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:53,760
Good God!
911
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,520
It's time to meet our last finalist.
912
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,520
Armed with a picture of his girlfriend,
a stuffed animal called Sir Bear Bear,
913
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,400
and a questionable knowledge
of Mother Nature's monthly bill...
914
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:05,560
That's a period.
915
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,280
It's Seaburn!
916
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,200

922
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,160
Seaburn! Come have a seat.
923
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:23,880
[Alex]
I love you, Rebecca!
924
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,680
What do I call you Seaburn, Rebecca?
925
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,760
Oh, man! You can call me Seabee.
926
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Okay, you're the last catfish standing.
927
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,200
-I am the last--
-[Michelle] How does that feel?
928
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,600
[Seaburn] Uh, it's like...
929
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,600
catfish winning, baby!
930
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,400
Eyebrow lick.
931
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,440
[laughs]
932
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,720
Have you lost track
of where Rebecca begins and Seaburn ends?
933
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,040
Well, it's crazy,
because you have to make the...
934
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,880
You have to decipher
between who you are and who Rebecca is.
935
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,920
It's almost like having two brains
at one time.
936
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,920
[Michelle]
What is your girlfriend like in real life?
937
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,600
Oh, man! In real life,
she's not that emotional.
938
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,200
Uh, no, definitely not.
939
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,200
She's more like noodle arms
940
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,960
and poke you in the side kind of,
kind of girl.
941
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,520
-So, she messes around a lot.
-Yeah.
942
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,920
She really is a joker.
943
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,600
Would you say you're actually
the emotional one in the relationship?
944
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,440
Oh, man! Heck, no.
I don't have that many emotions at all.
945
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,320
It's like that was a new territory for me.
946
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,080
-It was foreign land.
-Yeah.
947
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:21,480
It was like, oh...
948
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,400
I couldn't really get my head
around the whole idea
949
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,120
of unleashing so many emotions
at one time.
950
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,920
Well, you seemed to have
a lot of emotions for Shubby.
951
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,520
[Seaburn]
Oh, Shubby was...
952
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,480
Yeah, you guys definitely
called each other day one from day one.
953
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,560
[Seaburn] Well, coming out the gate,
it was just like
954
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,600
instantly, I was drawn to him.
955
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,840
And it was like just knowing
that I was drawn to him,
956
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,760
like, over time,
we kind of just formed this bond.
957
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,640
It was 100% real, and that's my day one.
958
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
Was it hard to keep lying to him, then?
959
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,800
Uh, honestly, it was terrible,
960
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,040
and I felt the strain, because it was like
961
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,560
to know that you created
this real, actual, genuine bond with him,
962
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,440
and then it's like
you're not really who you say you are.
963
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,160
-[Michelle] They're going to bat for you.
-Yeah, and it's like...
964
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:09,840
Don't get me wrong.
I went to bat for him 100%,
965
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,240
and I always had his back,
966
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,000
but it was like to know
that I had to lie about being this person,
967
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,440
it sucked.
968
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,440
So, when Sean revealed herself
as a catfish,
969
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,640
didn't you think, "This is a good time
for me to come clean"?
970
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:25,920
Honestly, when Sean revealed herself,
I gave her all props,
971
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,840
and I really was genuinely there for her,
and I was like,
972
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:32,120
"Dang! For her to do that was just...
It took a lot of courage."
973
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,680
And I absolutely fell in love with her
from then.
974
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,600
But it was like I was too far into it
to really come out.
975
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,800
And I was like, "I'm too deep.
I'm too knee-deep in it."
976
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,680
You were like the movie Tootsie deep.
You were in it.
977
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,680
-Yeah.
-You were Mrs. Doubtfire deep.
978
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,760
There was some mishaps,
and we got the receipts.
979
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,880
Oh!
980
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,000
Roll the tape.
981
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,880
"Do you think Chris is cute?"
982
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,240
"Baby girl, he's gay."
983
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,360
"Is he?"
984
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,520
[laughing]
985
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,320
"Honestly, I woke up this morning
with the worst cramps."
986
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,640
Oh, my gosh!
987
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:15,080
"The only thing that happens is
my left side starts to hurt really bad."
988
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,960
Whoa! I have never heard that.
989
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,440
Your left side?
990
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,240
Is that where your appendix is?
991
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,120
That usually means you're slapping skin.
992
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,640
Rebecca, you are a poet.
993
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:31,640
It's like
her innocence is a little too much,
994
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,080
and I don't quite buy it.
995
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,120
[Alex squeals] My man!
996
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,280
"I was absolutely heartbroken
997
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,160
to know that Adam was not real."
998
00:42:41,240 --> 00:42:43,640
"Ain't Rebecca, like, 20-something?"
999
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:44,720
"Is it genuine?"
1000
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,720
"I knew not to cry over a guy
when I was two."
1001
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:48,960
I'm not buying it.
1002
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,720
"Who is the person behind you?"
1003
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,600
"Honey, that's a Adele. LOL."
1004
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:54,640
That's Adele.
1005
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,680
[audience cheering]
1006
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,440
Oh, my God! Seaburn!
1007
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,080
Okay, first of all, so many things.
1008
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,520
What were you thinking cramps were
on your left side? What was that?
1009
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:08,920
It's funny, 'cause my girlfriend,
1010
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,640
when she does hit that Mother Nature,
you know, blockage, right?
1011
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:14,440
Blockage? It's a flow.
1012
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,920
Yeah. It's the opposite of a blockage.
1013
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,800
[Seaburn] She actually does...
Her left side actually really does hurt.
1014
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,040
-Okay.
-So I was coming from a place of memory.
1015
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,920
Yes, she should check that out.
1016
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,320
[laughs]
1017
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,440
You also didn't know who Adele was?
1018
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,080
It was crazy, 'cause I'm like...
It's half her face, and I'm like,
1019
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,400
"Who is that half lady
in the picture with Joey?"
1020
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,800
I was like, "That's Gaga,"
and I'm like, "The half lady is who?"
1021
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,560
Oh, my God! Well, introducing
that half lady. Adele, come on out.
1022
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,560
Just kidding. We ain't got that budget.
1023
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,000
I be out like, "Sorry!"
1024
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,920
I know.
I feel like Chris grabbed his titties.
1025
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,200
He was like, "Oh, my God!"
1026
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,840
So, one of the highlights for me
1027
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,000
was watching Rebecca have a dinner date
with Adam.
1028
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,080
Oh!
1029
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,720
Like, "Are you even kidding?"
1030
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,560
Hi, Adam. Like, look,
1031
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,400
what would your wife
and your girlfriend say
1032
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,360
about you guys flirting with each other?
1033
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,200
Oh, she would absolutely freaking laugh
and clown me.
1034
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,600
I mean , we kept it pretty PG.
I don't feel bad about it. You know?
1035
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,600
[laughs]
1036
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,720
Do you think, Seaburn,
that you would have made the finale
1037
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,960
if you would have played
the game as yourself?
1038
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,480
Honestly, now coming into it, it's like...
I wouldn't have done it any other way.
1039
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,720
Like, coming in as a catfish,
it was a lot more fun,
1040
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,400
because it did keep you on your toes,
and it did make you anticipate
1041
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,000
that somebody was gonna come and see you,
and you'll be found out.
1042
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,120
It's like, how would you recover
from being found out?
1043
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,360
And, like, I wouldn't have changed it.
I really wouldn't have changed it,
1044
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,000
because I did get to make genuine bonds
with the rest of-- With everybody,
1045
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,720
and it's like, to now know
that I was able to do that as Rebecca,
1046
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,960
I do have that question,
1047
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,880
"What would have happened
if I came in as myself?" But it's like...
1048
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,680
-You know? I wouldn't have changed it.
-[Michelle] Okay.
1049
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,840
You played an amazing game, Seaburn.
1050
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Thank you so much.
Now, go join your friends.
1051
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,800
We gotta get this place set up
for the big winner reveal moment.
1052
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,040
Boys, get in here
and move these couches.
1053
00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,360
Do you guys remember where it all started?
Me either.
1054
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,320
But here's the video that's gonna recap
all that stuff and so much more. Yes!
1055
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,000
[audience cheering]
1056
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,360
[Michelle] In the beginning, eight players
entered The Circle apartments.
1057
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,040
Oh!
1058
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,480
Damn, Gina!
1059
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,080
Yo, this is amazing!
1060
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:26,760
[yelling] Yeah, money!
1061
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,480
[Michelle] And once they worked out
how to activate The Circle...
1062
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Hello, Circle.
1063
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,840
[Michelle]
...it was time to build their profiles.
1064
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,720
"Professional basketball player."
1065
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,240
[Michelle]
Some played themselves...
1066
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,080
You can tell
that guy's got a nice toothbrush.
1067
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,120
[Michelle] ...and some chose to play
as a completely different character.
1068
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,680
[Seaburn]
I'm using my girlfriend's pictures
1069
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:44,920
because she's gorgeous.
1070
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,880
This is gonna be dope.
1071
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,560
[Michelle]
But whoever they were,
1072
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,680
the name of the game was
to become the most popular player.
1073
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:53,720
Easy.
1074
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,440
I already know
who's going to be my number one.
1075
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,080
[Michelle] And being in the top two
made them an influencer.
1076
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,480
What's an influencer?
1077
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,200
[Michelle]
And being an influencer... felt good.
1078
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,360
-Oh, my God!
-Yes!I
1079
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,240
Oh, my God! I'm an influencer.
[screams]
1080
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,280
[Michelle] But life as an influencer
had its ups and downs as well.
1081
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,760
Oh, no!
I have such a big target on my head.
1082
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,400
[Michelle] Trust a social media hater
to pick up on that.
1083
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,840
I've hated influencers my whole life,
1084
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,120
and I think they're everything wrong
with social media.
1085
00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:25,800
[Michelle]
But with great power...
1086
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:27,840
comes great responsibility.
1087
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,120
[Antonio]
"Influencers, you must now decide
1088
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,760
which at-risk player you wish to block
from The Circle."
1089
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,600
-Oh, my...
-God!
1090
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,560
[Michelle]
The one thing they wanted to avoid,
1091
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,600
The Circle proclaiming, "You have been..."
1092
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,960
[Circle beeps]
1093
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,840
[Michelle] And waiting to see
if The Circle was coming for you
1094
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,120
never got easier.
1095
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,400
I am not ready to go home yet.
1096
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,560
My heart just dropped out of my ass.
1097
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,480
[Michelle]
One by one, their games came to an end.
1098
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:03,120
[Circle beeps]
1099
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,760
Oh, shit! Damn!
1100
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,240
Oh, no!
1101
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,320
Moment of silence.
1102
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,280
Moment gone. Next.
1103
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,120
[Michelle]
Not so fast,
1104
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,040
'cause those who were blocked
could take a parting shot.
1105
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Some in a face-to-face meeting.
1106
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,360
Oh, shit!
1107
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,800
Are you kidding me right now?
1108
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,160
[Michelle]
Grudges were aired.
1109
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,600
[Alana]
I'm very mad at you.
1110
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,120
-Why?
-You blocked me!
1111
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,200
[Michelle]
Catfish met catfish.
1112
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,920
[Alex squeals] My man!
1113
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,160
[Michelle]
An online fantasy...
1114
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:36,080
Hi.
1115
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,680
[Michelle]
...became reality.
1116
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
But when players got blocked,
new players arrived.
1117
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,000
Oh, my God! We made it!
1118
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Circle, Circle.
Circle, I'm here. I arrived.
1119
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,360
Who the fuck are Sean and Bill?
1120
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,760
[Michelle]
One even brought his mom along.
1121
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,760
-The TV.
-[Ed] Oh, shit!
1122
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,360
[Michelle]
Just to keep him in check.
1123
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,040
"You got me smiling too,
you son of a gun."
1124
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,880
No, don't call her a son of a gun.
1125
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,560
[Michelle] In The Circle,
they had each other's backs.
1126
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,680
I feel a connection starting.
1127
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,400
I feel like me and Chris
are really getting along.
1128
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,240
"Girl, you got a homie right here."
1129
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,480
She has a good vibe to her.
1130
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,760
Oh, I'm in love.
The real me is in love.
1131
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:21,960
[Michelle]
The love was real.
1132
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,360
I've never had
a relationship like this before,
1133
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,880
and it means everything
to have you here as a sister.
1134
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,480
[Michelle]
Even if the people weren't.
1135
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,560
Oh, my gosh!
1136
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,640
I feel like she almost might be
hitting on me a little bit.
1137
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,320
[Michelle]
But as we got deeper into the game,
1138
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:38,960
plans started to fall apart.
1139
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,800
I didn't know there was a catfish filter.
1140
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,840
I don't know what to believe
about anyone right now.
1141
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,080
Whatever, Bill.
1142
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,720
"I nearly cried
when I seen your package."
1143
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,560
Something about that just seems insincere.
1144
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,840
I'm not buying it.
1145
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,200
Every picture I see of him,
he looks completely different.
1146
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,920
Oh, my God! They think I'm catfishing.
That is hilarious.
1147
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,320
He only reached out to me to be tactical.
1148
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,800
"Hashtag everyone knows you're fake."
1149
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,800
[Michelle]
And people got in their feelings.
1150
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,320
I can't take this.
1151
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,320
I am not an actual crier this much.
1152
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,240
Thank you. That was a wonderful reply.
I appreciate it.

because you are making
your dreams a reality.
1156

[Sammie]
Oh, my God!
1160
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,360

No!
1163
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,160
There's cake everywhere.
1164
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:45,880
We're doing it one trip.
1165
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,480
We did it!
1166
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:52,640
[Chris]
I am so excited.
1167

I love this kid.
1171
00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,520

Oh!

00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,200
Welcome to The Circle.
1175
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,800
"Amen, sis!"
1176
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,960
Watch this all day long.
1177
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,320
[Michelle]
And now, we're down to our final five.
1178
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,400

Okay, people, this is it.
1185
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,680
We're about to reveal
the winner of The Circle.
1186
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,800
One person will walk away with $100,000,
1187
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,080
and hopefully,
they'll be buying me a new booty,
1188
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,520
new teeth, a new house.

[Joey and Shubham] No.
1228
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,360
You guys are the top two rated players.
1229
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,800
Remember,
your fellow players rated one of you
1230
