00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,520
[Buteau] {\an8}Day breaks in The Circle,
3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,800
{\an8}and the players
have made it through their first night
4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,200
{\an8}with a very spooky newbie.

♪ Is coming like a ghost town… ♪
7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,920
-[sighs] Good morning, Circle.
-[both] Good morning, Circle.
8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,920
-Morning!
-Ooh!
9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,360
[Buteau] {\an8}Although, they don't know
10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,400
{\an8}ghost hunter Vince
is being played by Naughty Nick.
11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,720
Vince is still here.
12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,760
{\an8}Another day for glory.
13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,200
{\an8}Nick and I had one
of the most spectacular conversations.
14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,880
I genuinely trust Nick.
15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,880
{\an8}I love Vince because he's
what we needed in this place.
16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,760
{\an8}We have our little paranormal world
in common.
17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,720
{\an8}I am not gonna have anything in common
with Vince or vibe with him.
18
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,760
{\an8}I mean, am I gonna fake something with him
if I'm in chats with him?
19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,200
{\an8}Of course,
because I'm a game player. This is a game.
20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,040
{\an8}I can use Vince in order to figure out
what people are really thinking.
21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,120
So Vince has a lot of power right now.
22

♪ This town is coming like a ghost town ♪
23
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:12,800
[Buteau] And after Nick, thanks to Vince,
24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,200
has brought back the cape
as a fashion item,
25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,920
The Circle is buzzing into life
and wasting no time
26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,400
in giving them a little game
to start their day.
27

[all] "Bake for Your Bestie!"
28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,120
I love to bake!
29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,040
I hope I don't gotta cook
nothin' for somebody.

00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,680

Welcome to Great Circle Bake Off!

[Buteau] {\an8}In Bake for Your Bestie,
32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,080
{\an8}the players decorate a cake
dedicated to their Circle BFF.
33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360
It also shows everyone
who they're loyal to.
34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,080
This is gonna be difficult.
35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,360
{\an8}You get to find out
who is whose BFF in The Circle.
36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,760
[Buteau] As Nick is playing Vince,
37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600
he'll have to decorate an extra cake
in a cape.
38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Of course. One cake would be too easy.
39
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800
[Buteau] The players
will have their sweet, sweet supplies
40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,600
delivered directly to their door.
41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,080
[Nick] Ooh, that's a lot of cake.
42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,080
Oh my God! It's so much stuff.
43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Wow.
44
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,720
Okay, you got hats.
45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Chocolate frosting.
46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,400
Ooh, pretzels!
47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Edible glitter spray.
48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,440
-[gags]
-Am I gonna be peeing out glitter now?
49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,880
You can't decorate without an apron.
50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Wow! This is cute.
51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Whoo! This is gonna be freaking fun!
52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560
I have all the gear yet no idea.
53
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
"Players, you have 20 minutes."
54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,640
We only have 20 minutes?
Are you kidding me?
55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
[Nick] "You will still have 20 minutes
to make both cakes."
56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,160
[groans]
57
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,760
[laughing] I'm feeling
a little bit out of depth here.
58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,400
"Don't worry. It'll be a piece of cake."
59
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Times starts now!
60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800
The chair's gotta move.
The chair's gotta go.
61
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,280
All right, let's do this.
62
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Okay, let's just start laccing this shit
on here.
63
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,240
-There's my roll.
-[James] Oh, we in the game.
64
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,640
-Whoo! We in the game now!
{\an8}-[sighs] Where do I start?
65
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,840
[Buteau] Kai is making a cake
for her bestie Ruksana.
66
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,680
[Kai] When we're thinking about Ruksana,
67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,040
we're thinking sweet, spice,
and everything nice.
68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
-Mmm, that's some good icing.
-Oh!
69
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520
[Buteau] And Ruksana is returning
the favor for Kai.
70
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,880
[Ruksana] I'm gonna make it fun,
sweet, bright, cheerful.
71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,640
Oh, this cake is crumbling.
72
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520
[Buteau] Isabella is crafting her creation
for Nick.
73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,880
So I've decided
to do a little white-to-blue ombré.
74
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,520
I think that's very Nick.
75
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Okay, it's kind of ugly,
but some parts of it are cute.
76
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Oh my God!
This is literally like a massacre.
77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
[Buteau] Daniel's lovely
and not frightening at all cake
78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,240
is for Ruksana.
79
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,880
I want her to see
our two hearts connecting in this cake,
80
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,360
and the beauty and the friendship
that we have figured out.
81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,480
I mean, come on!
82
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,960
[Buteau] Nick is making
a masterpiece for Isabella.
83
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,440
So bad. The heart's not even good.
84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
The heart is on there for two reasons.
85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,080
One, I know
that Isabella has a huge heart,
86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,080
and two, I totally dig her.
87
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Ah, it's melting everywhere!
88
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,640
[Buteau] Ashley's cake is dedicated
to her ride-or-die, Nick.
89
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,600
{\an8}I wanna show him that I love him.
It's important that he knows
90
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,040
{\an8}not only do I want to jump on him,
but it's important he knows
91
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
that I consider him
my bestie in this game. [screams]
92
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,360
[laughs fiendishly]
93
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,920
My… my cake
blacker than me right now. Okay.
94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,240
[Buteau] James' culinary creation
is for Kai.
95
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,800
[James] I'm trying to make it a crown,
because she's been nothing but a queen
96
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,280
to me. [screams]
97
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,640
It's sprinkling on your ass.
Oh yeah! Use the whole bottle on your ass.
98
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,440
[Rachel] I hope Isabella isn't offended
by this, 'cause I would be.
99
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880
[Buteau] Jackson is making
a cake for Isabella.
100
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,480
I thought I was going to have to fake this
and, like, pretend to make a bad cake,
101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
but I did not have to pretend whatsoever.
102
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,720
Okay! Look at this! This coming out.
103
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:50,040
Oh shit.
104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880
I think I ruined it. [laughs]
105
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,200
I think this is gonna be
a big letdown for Isabella.
106
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,760
[Buteau] Better hurry up, Nick.
{\an8}You gotta make Vince's cake too, dude.
107
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,600
{\an8}I'm done with this.
Not super happy with it,
108
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,000
{\an8}but I don't really have time.
109
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,680
So, I gotta move on
to the other cake with Vince.
110
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,320
This is fucking hideous.
111
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Why are you moving? Stop moving, bitch!
112
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,280
[bottle sprays]
113
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,280
Vince's baking skills aren't very good,
so I can do this quickly.
114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,560
Oh, the crown cracking.
115
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,320
Ah, ain't that a bitch!
116
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Hold on.
117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,040
[Nick] By Vince making a cake for Nick,
118
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,360
it'll hopefully make other people see me
as someone who is nice and inclusive.
119
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:33,040
I wouldn't suspect that a girl made this.
This is like a 12-year-old boy… exploded.
120
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Do these even look like drumsticks?
121
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,480
If you gave a real queen this,
you'd be beheaded.
122
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,240
[Daniel] Oh my God!
123
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Oh, the spray!
124
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,280
I gotta hurry up.
125
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400
Ooh…
126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,840
-Ah, "Time's up! Time's up!"
-Done.
127
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,280
I thought it was gonna be bad.
128
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,240
This was worse
than I thought it was gonna be.
129
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,160
-"You should now…"
-"…take a picture of your cake."
130
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Okay.
131
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120
I can't--
Can I throw it away, please, instead?
132
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,840
[Buteau] Now that their masterpieces
are complete,
133
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320
the players do
what 98% of people on Instagram do,
134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,200
take a photo of their cake
135
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:12,760
and upload with a caption
for absolutely everyone to see.
136
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:16,760
The first thing that just comes to my mind
is, "A badass cake for a baddy."
137
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:22,920
{\an8}I think I would say something like,
"Glitz and glam. Kai's friend I am."
138
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:29,640
Circle, I want to caption my cake,
"Isabella, my giant ball of sunshine."
139
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,840
I think she's gonna probably laugh,
probably roll her eyes a little bit.
140
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,560
{\an8}-Oh!
-Ooh!
141
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,800
{\an8}Here we go.
142
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,520
{\an8}Ah! I'm so excited.
143
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,000
[Buteau] First up, Ashley,
{\an8}played by Matthew's cake for Nick.
144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,960
{\an8}"For Nick.
A sweet cake for a sweet man." Ooh!
145
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,360
{\an8}Oh my gosh! That came out so good.
146
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,080
{\an8}"BNE!" Gotta assume
that's Big Nick Energy.
147
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,920
I hope he can see that it's a baseball.
148
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
I have no clue
what that thing in the top right is.
149
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,240
I hope he can see the dog.
150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Is that Mickey Mouse?
151
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,920
I think she tried to do his dog maybe.
152
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,640
So I wonder if Ashley and Nick
have an alliance that I wasn't aware of.
153
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,640
Oh, that's very interesting.
154
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,440
[Buteau] Next is
Daniel's cake for Ruksana.
155
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,000
{\an8}Oh, Daniel! "A badass cake for a baddy."
156
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,200
{\an8}Whoa! Everything's on it. It's just--
He went all out. Okay. [chuckles]
157
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,400
{\an8}[laughing] It's tragic.
158
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,320
[laughing] What happened to it?
159
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,360
{\an8}Daniel took everything
that was delivered to us
160
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,200
{\an8}and said, "Fuck it,"
and threw it all on there.
161
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,840
{\an8}Baby, I tried. I'mma say,
162
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
"Ruksana, you've got a lot of layers.
There's a lot going on to you."
163
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,120
Thank you, Daniel, for thinking of me.
164
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600
[Buteau] Now Isabella's cake for Nick.
165
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,440
{\an8}"For Nick. Tried to decorate a cake
that embodied Big Nick Energy… [chuckles]
166
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840
{\an8}…pups, music, and an attempt at a Mohawk."
167
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,520
{\an8}Okay, I see the little puppy on the side.
168
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Wow.
169
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Aw, okay, so she kind of went
with the same idea as me.
170
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,640
It looks so bad compared to Ashley's.
171
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,640
She didn't do one for Jackson,
but that's okay.
172
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,320
I am surprised Nick has two Circle BFFs.
173
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,320
He's already got
two major alliances that I can see.
174
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800
[Buteau] Up next,
Jackson's cake for Isabella.
175
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,480
{\an8}Oh! [laughing]
176
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:37,520
{\an8}"Isabella, my giant ball of sunshine!"
177
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,960
{\an8}This is a mess.
178
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,920
{\an8}My cake looks like crap on there.
179
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,960
[laughing]
180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,600
{\an8}It looks like a unicorn threw up
over his cake,
181
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:50,520
{\an8}and then he just took a big ball
of yellow and went… [blows raspberry]
182
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,000
{\an8}It almost makes me think
Jackson's trying too hard
183
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,000
to make this look like it was done
by a dude who has no idea what he's doing.
184
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,480
If someone's getting blocked for a cake,
it will be Jackson.
185
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:07,720
He could be playing this up,
could be a catfish. I don't know.
186
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,680
I'm really glad he picked me.
That's so cute. [chuckles]
187
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,240
[Buteau] Now it's James,
who made his cake
188
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,800
for The Circle homie, Kai.
189
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,640
{\an8}James! "For Kai."
190
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,840
{\an8}"Tried to make a cake for a queen,
but you see what had happened was…"
191
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,880
{\an8}[laughs]
192
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,400
{\an8}[laughing]
193
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800
{\an8}I'm so sick
of everybody calling her the queen.
194
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,040
His cake is a joke.
195
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,280
This just shows me
that he is making a point to be loyal
196
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,880
and that he does have my back.
197
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,840
So clearly,
she's made an impression on him.
198
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,520
Looks like Kai definitely has some allies.
199
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,480
[Buteau] She's got allies and skills.
200
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,240
Wait till you see
her blinged-out Ruksana cake.
201
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,720
{\an8}Oh, that cake is so fun!
202
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,840
{\an8}"This cake is for my BFF Ruksana.
#SweetSpiceAndEverythingNice."
203
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,080
{\an8}Aw!
204
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440
{\an8}[laughing]
205
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,080
{\an8}What the fuck is that?
206
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,320
{\an8}This is just a lot.
207
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
{\an8}How does that describe Ruksana?
208
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,440
{\an8}I'm surprised. I thought Kai's
was gonna look better. I'm not gonna lie.
209
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,000
{\an8}Kai, I love you, girl,
but y'all need to work on your cakes.
210
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Kai's a catfish!
That doesn't look like somebody
211
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:25,000
who has, like, an eye for style
or, like, an artistic eye.
212
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
The thing about it is
is that it was made with love,
213
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,200
so I give myself a double-A for effort.
214
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,840
[Buteau] Next is Nick's cake for Isabella.
215
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,840
{\an8}Oh!
216
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,440
{\an8}He's being loud and proud! He said,
"For Isabella. This might be a BFF cake,
217
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,920
{\an8}but I'm not putting you in the friendzone.
Winky face."
218
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,560
{\an8}Whoa!
219
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,760
{\an8}Okay! Nick!
220
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,040
{\an8}Well, people definitely know that there's
something going on there. [laughs]
221
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,200
{\an8}You can tell I spent some time on it.
Threw the heart in there.
222
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,240
{\an8}Isabella and Nick definitely have
a deeper connection than I thought.
223
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,200
He's basically saying he wants to be
more than just friends with her.
224
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Isabella's gonna love it.
So, good work, Nick.
225
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,160
Now I know Nick
is on Ashley and Isabella's side,
226
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,520
and Jackson
is definitely on Isabella's side.
227
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,960
[Buteau] Now, Ruksana's BFF Kai cake.
228
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,080
{\an8}"Glitz and glam. Kai's bestie I am.
I hope you love your fun and girly cake."
229
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,320
{\an8}Oh, that makes me so excited.
230
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,240
{\an8}I think this made her smile for sure.
231
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,920
{\an8}I just feel like she gave all the color,
all the sweets.
232
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,360
So Kai made a cake for Ruksana,
and Ruksana made a cake for Kai.
233
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,360
So now we know. Both of--
They are just number one friends in here.
234
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,480
[Buteau] With eight cakes presented,
235
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:48,200
we have Kai, Ruksana, Isabella,
and Nick up there with two besties each.
236
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,720
It's all down to Vince, played by Nick.
Wonder who his bestie's gonna be.
237
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,240
{\an8}[gasps]
238
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,080
{\an8}Oh, he fucking killed it. Are you kidding?
239
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,880
{\an8}They look like drumsticks.
They kind of look like chicken legs.
240
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,920
{\an8}Vince is really feeling Nick.
241
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,160
Dude, I appreciate it.
242
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,240
This is a great friendship cake,
and I think we can be really good friends.
243
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,080
We probably have a lot in common.
244
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,400
In fact, I think we are almost identical.
245
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:21,240
{\an8}[both] "Congratulations, Nick!
You have the most besties in The Circle."
246
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Aw, that's cute.
247
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Go, Nick!
248
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,840
[Buteau] Nick, you are
the most popular cake decorator
249
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,840
in The Circle,
250
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,640
mainly because, as Vince,
you literally voted for yourself,
251
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,800
but still…
252
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Vince, thank you for making me that cake!
That gave me the win over Kai.
253
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920
Nick is definitely coming
for the number one spot.
254
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,800
Starting to concern me a little bit.
255
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Nick, all of a sudden,
became everybody's bestie, it seems like.
256
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,440
That's good for me,
257
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
'cause the longer he's around,
I'll be around,
258
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,760
so bring on the besties for Nick.
259
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,600
He's obviously gonna look out
for the girls who has his back,
260
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,560
and he's made a connection
with Vince already,
261
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,680
and Vince just got here.
262
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,080
This is hopefully an indication
263
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,360
that I have a decent shot
at becoming an influencer finally.
264
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,080
[Buteau] After the mess
of the cake challenge,
265
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,440
the players are cleaning up
and getting their heads back in the game.
266
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,200
How did I get it in my nose?
267
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,280
[chuckles]
268
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,480
[Buteau] James is working out
269
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,720
how to make his Circle yarn wall look like
somebody over the age of six has made it.
270
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,120
Who needs to be connected? [exhales]
271
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Nick was supposed to be right--
Oh damn. I gotta get some more yarn.
272
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,040
[Buteau] And Isabella is looking
to strengthen her connections as well.
273
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,480
"Isabella has invited you
to a private chat."
274
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,320
Perfect timing, Isabella.
275
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,160
Okay, get out of Sophia.
You are not Sophia.
276
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,320
You are Isabella,
and you're here to flirt.
277
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,880
{\an8}[sighs] Circle, message,
278
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,840
{\an8}"Well, aren't you the cutest?
Heart eye emoji."
279
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,720
{\an8}"The cake you made me was stunning.
Does this mean we are…"
280
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,040
{\an8}[giggles]
281
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,760
{\an8}"…#CircleOfficial?
This monkey emoji." Send.
282
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,120
{\an8}[laughing]
283
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Okay. I mean, it's flirty.
284
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,320
It's funny.
Circle official sounds like a big deal.
285
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,000
[Buteau] And the shock of the century?
286
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
A commitment-phobe
is scared of commitment.
287
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,160
[Nick] Circle, message,
288
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,080
"I was hoping
you were gonna make me a cake."
289
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,280
"Praise hands."
290
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,400
"I'm not saying it's a sign,
291
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,240
but both of our cakes
looked awfully similar."
292
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800
{\an8}"If that doesn't scream #CircleOfficial,
I don't know what does."
293
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,800
{\an8}[laughs]
294
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Circle, message,
295
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,440
"It was great to see
that the band stuck together."
296
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,040
"Okey dokey."
297
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,560
{\an8}"I was surprised to see
298
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,520
{\an8}that Daniel decorated his cake
for Ruksana." Send.
299
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,640
All right. Tea. Well, I wasn't.
300
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Circle, message, "Really?
I wasn't surprised at all."
301
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280
{\an8}"I feel like those two have been tight
since the get-go."
302
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,960
{\an8}"However, I was shocked to see
how much effort Ruksana put in for Kai
303
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,640
and how little Kai put in for Ruksana.
Detective emoji." Send.
304
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,960
So here's Isabella throwing shade at Kai.
305
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,120
I hope he won't think I'm being aggressive
'cause, each time we talk,
306
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,640
I bring up Kai. [chuckles]
307
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,280
Well, it'd be the perfect opportunity
if I was also trying to get rid of Kai.
308
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,320
But now from my last chat,
309
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,600
I'm wondering if I want to align with Kai
rather than get rid of her.
310
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,320
Circle, message,
311
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,320
{\an8}"Kai reached out to me last night
to talk about Calvin."
312
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,880
"We actually had a very good conversation,
313
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,760
which ended on us both admitting
that we originally had doubts,
314
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,080
but if we work together,
we could both make it to the end."
315
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,880
"Sounded genuine, but you never know."
316
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,320
"Shall we team up with her,
or does she need to go?"
317
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Nick!
318
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Oh, Nick, no!
319
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,160
She's such a smooth freaking talker.
320
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,440
I still do think that it makes sense.
We have to get rid of Kai at some point.
321
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,480
But now, I'm sort of leaning
322
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:20,040
towards I could maybe still work with her
until I absolutely need to block her.
323
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,680
My biggest concern about Kai was
that if I kept her around long enough,
324
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,320
she would sneak her way into our band,
325
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,920
and it seems
like she pretty much did that.
326
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,320
Here we go. "This is something
I totally predicted to happen."
327
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
"Kai is such a smooth talker."
328
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,120
"We have such a great thing going for us
with the band."
329
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,560
"If we continue to stay strong,
I think we will reach the finale no doubt,
330
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,040
but for it to work, we have to keep
the alliance just between the band."
331
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Isabella is talking some sense here.
332
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,720
Brains and brows. Look out.
333
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,840
[groans]
334
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,120
We have the key to success.
335
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,680
Like, it is like… I can taste the finale.
336
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,560
But if anyone slips, we're all going down.
337
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,800
I always said
Kai was a dangerous smooth talker,
338
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,000
and I think I'm getting played.
That was my worry!
339
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,520
[inhales deeply]
340
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,600
Nick. "Thank you
for talking some sense into me."
341
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,640
Mwah! "I've been struggling
over what to do about Kai all day."
342
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,240
"I agree that she has to go,
but the question is when."
343
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,440
"I absolutely want the band
to make it all the way to the end."
344
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,080
"It was great talking to you as always.
We'll sync up later. #CircleOfficial."
345
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320
[kisses] I could almost kiss you. Almost.
346
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,720
That was a great chat.
347
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,120
{\an8}It was good to talk to Isabella about Kai,
because I had… I did find myself
348
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,480
considering the option
of teaming up with Kai.
349
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,120
I have a clear head
of exactly what needs to happen next,
350
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,320
and that is
Operation Get Kai the F Out of Here.
351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,440
We need her gone.
352
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:58,200
[exhales softly]
353
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Stupid, stupid Nick.
354
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,600
{\an8}My sweet boy,
it's a good thing you're cute.
355
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,400
It's a real good thing you're cute.
356
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:11,120
[Buteau] Now, Daniel had
zero cakes dedicated to him,
357
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,960
and he came nearly bottom
of the last ratings.
358
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,480
He's hoping
to turn his Circle fortunes around
359
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,560
with a private chat.
360
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Enter Ruksana.
361
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,080
[Daniel] Message, "I wanted--"
362
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Or, "I needed to touch base with you,
um, after the last ratings."
363
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,880
"I'm still feeling down
about getting seventh."
364
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000
"How are you feeling about
the whole situation? #BrokenAndConfused."
365
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Ooh.
366
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,360
I'm so glad he reached out to me.
367
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Do I feel really broken and confused?
368
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,560
No. But I want her to know,
369
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,880
"Baby, I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm a damsel in distress."
370
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,480
'Cause I think Ruksana and Kai
have a good relationship,
371
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,120
and that would be a strong duo
to pair myself up with.
372
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,640
I wanna give him
the assurance that he needs.
373
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:03,840
{\an8}Circle, message,
"I cannot stand you. LOL."
374
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,080
[chuckles]
375
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,440
{\an8}"I cannot stand you. LOL."
376
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,280
{\an8}"I definitely feel bad
about being rated sixth."
377
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,040
"The whole game basically changed.
The whole--"
378
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,440
Y'all, this is it! Yes! Yes! Yes!
379
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,240
{\an8}She's typing. She's letting me know
the whole game basically changed.
380
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,000
Now, let's change with it.
381
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,280
"We have to make it
to the end, little brother,
382
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,760
{\an8}but I am worried
that Nick is making his way to the top."
383
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,200
"But I spoke with Kai…"
384
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600
{\an8}"…me, you, and her
now have a stronger alliance,
385
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,840
{\an8}as James has joined us. Red heart emoji."
386
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,680
{\an8}I literally just got brought
into an alliance,
387
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,760
{\an8}and I just had to sit here
and look pretty.
388
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,360
Circle, message, "Kai and James
think Jackson is a catfish."
389
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,360
Message, "I totally agree
with the Jackson statement."
390
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,520
{\an8}"My gut, from the start,
told me he was a catfish." Mmm.
391
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,560
"In regards to Nick,
I thought he had my back,
392
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,040
but clearly, after the ratings,
I was wrong." Send.
393
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:08,520
{\an8}Circle, message, "I think
we all underestimated Nick." Send.
394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:14,920
Ashley, Isabella, Jackson, and Vince,
they all seem to be Team Nick.
395
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,560
Message, "I completely underestimated Nick
from the beginning."
396
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,280
"Look at how fast he turned Vince."
397
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:23,840
{\an8}Yep. Same.
398
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,240
{\an8}Circle, message, "We already lost
one person from our alliance."
399
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,960
"At this point,
we need to stay strong together,
400
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,000
have each other's back,
and begin to break up the other alliance."
401
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,240
[Daniel] She is feeling the same way I am
about Nick.
402
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,800
She is not wrong. She is not wrong.
403
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,840
[laughs]
404
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Now we're playing Circle, baby.
Now we're playing Circle.
405
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:52,120
{\an8}Message, "This was all so much, but…"
All caps. "…in the best way possible."
406
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,560
{\an8}"We need to stick together." Send.
407
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,680
I love Daniel
for having that loyalty to me.
408
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,800
I will always have his back for sure.
409
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,240
Mission Take Every Other Bitch Out But Us,
410
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,000
assemble!
411
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,120
Whoo!
412
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,720
[Buteau] A Marvel movie
I can finally get on board with.
413
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,160
Meanwhile, the alliance theme continues,
414
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,720
'cause James,
still tied up with his yarn board,
415
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,240
{\an8}wants to check in with Nick and Vince,
who live in the same apartment and body.
416
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,000
The most connections
I see right now in this house, officially,
417
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
once I get some more yarn, is Nick.
418
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,800
Nick is connected
to Isabella, Ashley, and Vince.
419
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,200
We gotta rob Vince from everybody else.
420
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,560
James has invited me to a group chat?
421
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Heck yeah.
422
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,720
I think out of all the guys in the house,
myself, Nick, and Vince,
423
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,160
we have the most in common,
and I actually like Nick.
424
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,960
He seems like a guy
I could drink a beer with
425
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,240
and have a good time with.
426
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,280
So I think I need to talk to those two.
I think it'll benefit me,
427
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:03,920
because if we do try to bring Vince
over to my group with Kai and Ruk,
428
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,160
then it'll be easier,
'cause he'll trust me then.
429
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,200
'Cause right now he might not trust me,
so I need to talk to these two for sure.
430
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Oh God. [laughing]
431
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
Oh, Nick and Vince, of course.
432
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,600
Circle, message, "What's up, my guys?"
433
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,600
"You stood out the most to me yesterday.
Your messages were unique."
434
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,440
{\an8}"That's how I know
you are genuine." [chuckles]
435
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,720
{\an8}"I just love people
that are truly themselves all the time."
436
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,360
{\an8}"#RealRecognizeReal."
437
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560
{\an8}Oh! [laughing]
438
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960
I don't wanna go to Boston
and hunt no ghost,
439
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760
but I wanna win a game,
so that's something I shouldn't say.
440
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,080
Circle, message, "Yes!
Three exclamation points. What a squad!"
441
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,200
"How have you all been feeling
in The Circle so far? #NewGuys." Send.
442
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,760
[James] I'm curious to see
what Vince will say about this message.
443
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,480
I was only the new guy for like 45 minutes
until you came in. [chuckles]
444
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,560
Okay, okay, okay.
Vince, let's be quick with it.
445
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,560
{\an8}Circle, message,
"Thanks for the invite, James."
446
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,040
{\an8}"This is a great trio."
447
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,920
{\an8}"So far, The Circle is overwhelming."
448
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,680
{\an8}"Is there anyone
I should get to know better?"
449
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,680
{\an8}As Nick, I actually don't really know
who James's top people are.
450
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,880
I know he likes Kai, but I'm hoping,
451
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,400
with this little camaraderie thing
that we have going on,
452
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,440
that James will actually give
Vince genuine advice
453
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,720
and hopefully give me more info.
454
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,120
I need to take advantage of this message.
It's a good message.
455
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,480
{\an8}Okay, Circle, message,
"Vince, that's a great question."
456
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,400
[laughing]
457
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,360
{\an8}"I think Isabella is
one of the most genuine people here
458
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,760
and is definitely worth chatting with."
Send.
459
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,640
So, Circle, message, "Vince, I'm going
to put a good word in for you to Kai,
460
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,440
because I know you guys will get along.
She is a firecracker. LOL." Send.
461
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,480
Perfect.
462
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,720
All me and Nick are doing are fighting
for attention from Vince,
463
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,920
and… [chuckles] …it's… it's funny
'cause we're using girls in our group to…
464
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,200
"Yeah, go talk to Isabella."
"No, you should talk to Kai."
465
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Circle, message,
"Vince, ditto on what James said."
466
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,960
{\an8}"Kai is super nice and speaks her mind."
467
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,800
{\an8}With this emoji. Okay. This is…
this is very politically safe right here.
468
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,960
I think that'll work out for me,
'cause I've told Kai that I'm on her side,
469
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,160
and now I have James,
who I know is very close with Kai,
470
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,680
seeing me say that in this group chat.
471
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,760
Circle, message, "Fellas, I want you guys
to know you are safe with me."
472
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,160
"Just keep being you,
and everything will work out."
473
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,040
This is like the most perfect message
James could have ever written.
474
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:57,920
Vince mostly is looking for allies,
and he doesn't have them yet.
475
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,320
[Nick] This chat was great.
476
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,040
Between me and Vince,
we've helped out my allies,
477
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:05,720
seemed to strengthen
my relationship with James,
478
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,600
and I don't think James is suspecting
that Vince is a catfish. Win-win-win.
479
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,160
There's two different alliances.
480
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,400
You have my alliance
with Kai and Ruk and potentially Daniel,
481
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,680
and you have Nick's potential alliance
482
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,000
with, uh, Ashley
and Isabella and maybe Jackson.
483
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,200
So what we're trying to do is get
the numbers on our side of The Circle
484
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,280
instead of Nick's side of The Circle.
485
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,760
So, yeah, we gotta get Vince.
486
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,320
He just has to rate with us
instead of them.
487
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,360
We just need to make sure
488
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,320
we got at least one person
in the top influencer spots.
489
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,320
[Buteau] As night descends on The Circle,
490
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,760
the players are keeping themselves busy
trying to feed themselves…
491
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,640
[in singsong] This is freaking me out.
492
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,120
-We're ditching this.
-[trash can opens]
493
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,440
-[Buteau] …trying to entertain themselves…
-Whoo!
494
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,200
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch…
495
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,240
Just gotta swish it in once. There you go.
496
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,640
[Buteau] …and trying to tear down the wall
between sanity and insanity.
497
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,440
Hey, Ash! Quick question, Ashley,
where did you get your roots done?
498
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,840
[Buteau] Meanwhile,
over in a normal apartment,
499
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,400
Nick is enjoying a carrot,
500
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,400
and Vince is enjoying some celery.
501
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,800
Okay, before Nick's actual twin back home
starts getting jealous…
502
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,240
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
503
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,320
"Alert!" Ooh!
504
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,120
[all] "Alert!"
505
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,520
Where's my glasses?
506
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,440
{\an8}"Players, you must now rate each other."
507
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,920
Oh no!
508
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,960
[groans, laughs]
509
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,160
I really don't know where I fall
after today's cake challenge.
510
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,440
There's some strong alliances.
It's definitely gonna be different.
511
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,560
I literally have to base my ratings
off of a theoretical alliance.
512
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,520
{\an8}"Rate your fellow players
from first to seventh."
513
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,800
[Buteau] Remember,
{\an8}as well as not being real,
514
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,840
{\an8}Nick's temporary burner profile Vince
is technically a new player,
515
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,960
so he isn't in the ratings.
516
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,480
[all] Circle, please take me
to my ratings.
517
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,560
Oh my God. I feel really hot.
518
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,640
I actually feel like
I'm having heat flashes.
519
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Is this what it's like
going through menopause?
520
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,200
-[Buteau] How would I know?
-Wow.
521
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,440
Circle, in my first spot,
I would like to put Kai.
522
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:31,800
{\an8}To me, she's my bestie,
523
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,960
{\an8}and I think, if she's in a position
to have to fight for me,
524
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,600
I think she will do that.
525
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,400
First place last time I had my boy Nick.
526
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,680
However, this time,
I feel like I have more trust in Ashley.
527
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,600
She's loyal. She wants to work with me.
We're on the same page.
528
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,880
{\an8}For those reasons, I'd like
to put Ashley in first place, please.
529
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:54,120
{\an8}In first place,
it's gonna be my boy Daddy Nick.
530
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,840
{\an8}Last time, I was influencer,
531
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,760
and being influencer consecutively
would not be good for my game right now.
532
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,240
I need to make sure
my boy Daddy Nick is up there,
533
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,280
so I know I'm safe
without being influencer.
534
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:12,080
Circle, please put Nick
as my number one spot.
535
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,200
{\an8}Nick has consistently reached out
to Jackson and made himself known.
536
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,640
I think that he would have my back,
um, at the end of the day.
537
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Circle, please place Daniel second.
538
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,040
{\an8}I trust that he has my back
without a doubt.
539
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:37,760
In third place, I'm going to put Nick.
540
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,680
I wanna give Daniel
my third place position.
541
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040
I do believe that he is true to his word
542
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,560
when he says that he will have my back
as my little bro.
543
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,400
I'm trying to tank Ashley
and Isabella and Nick
544
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,000
and hope that my girls step up
in that position.
545
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,280
And for those reasons,
I am rating Jackson fourth.
546
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,320
In fifth place is Nick.
547
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080
{\an8}Nick and I have definitely built a bond.
548
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,480
{\an8}It definitely could go
one way or the other.
549
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,240
{\an8}There's still hope
that he will honor his word
550
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,840
if he becomes an influencer
and doesn't block me.
551
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,720
{\an8}Circle, lock Kai in sixth position.
552
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,040
{\an8}I had a conversation with Kai
where she assured me
553
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120
that she would have my back,
she would not block me,
554
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760
{\an8}I was safe with her till the end.
555
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,840
{\an8}So simply for that reason,
I have to put Kai above Ruksana.
556
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,360
{\an8}In last place, I wanna put Isabella.
557
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,200
{\an8}Because Isabella
and I do not have a connection,
558
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,640
it will take nothing for her to let me go
if she gets the influencer position.
559
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,720
In last place, I would like
to give my rating to Nick.
560
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,600
{\an8}Clearly, he has
a lot of people around his finger.
561
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,400
Clearly, he is a threat
like I thought he was.
562
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,760
{\an8}If we can get Nick out tonight,
it would be a great position to be in.
563
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,760
Circle, please sub--
564
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,600
Submit my ratings, baby!
565
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Ah! "Ratings complete!"
566
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,600
Um, please let me get this right.
God, I don't wanna go home tonight.
567
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,680
I have no clue how this will turn out.
568
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,800
No clue.
569
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,000
[upbeat music playing]
570
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,800
[Buteau] With ratings over for now,
571
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,760
Nick's ready to test out how shady Kai is
572
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,600
by disguising himself as another player
and secretly drilling her for information.
573
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,880
[Nick] I had
a very promising chat with Kai
574
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,720
where she said she's got my back.
I said I have her back,
575
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,000
{\an8}and I was feeling pretty good about it.
576
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,120
{\an8}Then I had a chat with Isabella
where she basically was like,
577
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,000
"Dude, you are getting played.
She's just a smooth talker."
578
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,680
But luckily,
I've still got Vince in my arsenal,
579
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,400
so I'm gonna become Vince,
580
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,320
talk to Kai
581
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,760
in order to see
how she really feels about Nick.
582
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,920
Vince has invited me to a private chat?
583
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:17,400
Let's see how loyal Kai really is.
584
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,320
Circle, message,
585
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,680
"I couldn't help but notice
that we both have black and white photos."
586
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:25,600
[laughs]
587
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,920
{\an8}"Clearly, you have good taste."
588
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,880
"I'd love to get your thoughts
on some of the players,
589
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,840
because I am frantically trying
to get up to speed."
590
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,720
{\an8}"Smiley face." Send.
591
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,760
{\an8}Typical Vince smiley face.
592
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:50,800
Okay. Now I just need to figure out,
if he chose Nick earlier with the cake,
593
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,160
I wonder if he's already talked to Nick.
594
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,240
Since Nick is my biggest competitor,
595
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,680
{\an8}I just need to make sure
that I'm really careful.
596
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,760
"First off,
is there anyone I should avoid?"
597
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Okay.
598
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Probably should have said "hi" first.
599
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,880
[laughing]
600
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Vince! What are you doing, dude?
601
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Message, "First I would like to ask
602
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,120
if there were any vibes
that felt off to you from anyone

00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,960
when you first arrived to The Circle.

604
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,000
{\an8}And send.
605
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,680
Kai has such good answers
to these questions. So strategic.
606
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,560
[laughing] I hate it.
607
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,000
Circle, message,
608
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:35,080
"Honestly, everybody seems really nice."

{\an8}"I haven't had bad vibes yet,
610
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:44,240
{\an8}but I did get really good vibes
in a chat with Nick and James."
611
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,720
{\an8}"They are both hilarious!
Laughing cry face." Send.
612
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,520
I gotta play this really, really cool.
613
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,360
James decorated his cake for her,
614
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,760
so I've thrown in someone
that I know she likes.
615
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,520
Then I also threw myself in there.
616
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,240
So I'll see how her explanations
of each person line up.
617
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,880
{\an8}Message, "Nick and James
are both definitely good players."
618
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,400
{\an8}"I enjoy talking to them both,
619
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,160
{\an8}and also Ruksana
is very trustworthy and loyal."
620
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,840
{\an8}"I would say that your vibes are spot-on."
621
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,360
It's interesting
that she said we're good players.
622
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,680
I was hoping that she would be like,
623
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,200
"James is blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
624
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,960
"Nick is blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah."
625
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,880
And then I'd be able
to sort of, like, compare,
626
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,600
but it is a good sign.
She is sharing real information here.
627
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,640
All right. Circle, message,
628
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,880
{\an8}"Thanks for the insight."
629
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,640
{\an8}"I still haven't chatted much
with Ruksana,
630
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,080
but she sounds great."
631
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,520
"What did you think
of the cake challenge?"
632
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,560
"It seemed
like you and Nick both had a lot of BFFs."
633
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,880
It's kind of good to know
that he's noticing that,
634
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,240
because if he's noticing that,
then other people are noticing as well.
635
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,200
[chuckling] That's a great message, Vince!
636
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,200
Bringing up Nick once again.
637
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,200
Ooh, Vince, you're killing it.
638
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,360
{\an8}Okay. Message,
"I think Nick and I have a lot of BFFs
639
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,280
{\an8}because we are honest
and straight to the point,
640
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,320
{\an8}yet we still radiate positive energy.
Smiley face." And send.
641
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,160
I don't wanna push him toward Nick,
but I don't want to hate on Nick either,
642
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:21,560
because I do, you know,
have an alliance with Nick.
643
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,760
This is more good vibes towards Nick.
644
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,200
This does make me think that Kai views me
as someone who was being honest with her
645
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,120
in the conversations we had
about alliances. So that's good.
646
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,400
That makes me feel more comfortable
with Kai.
647
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,960
Vince, you've done it again. Well-done.
648
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,280
[Buteau] You played Vince well,
649
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,680
but Kai may have just played
the both of y'all.
650
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:45,840
With the rating results looming,
651
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,560
some players have gone
to extraordinary lengths
652
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,960
to avoid the alert they know is coming.
653
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,520
[Daniel] This is comfortable.
654
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,880
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
655
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,440
[Nick shouts] "Alert!"
656
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Oh God.
657
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,880
Oh, I'm not ready.
I'm not ready. I'm not ready.
658
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,640
[inhales] Here goes nothin'.
659
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,880
"The ratings results are in."
660
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,520
Whoo! Yes, they are.
661
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,720
[groans] I don't feel as good
as I did last time.
662
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,080
Like, if I am eighth or seventh again,
I do not deserve to be here.
663
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,680
If I'm on the bottom,
664
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
people are gonna have
some explaining to do.
665
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,080
[Buteau] Remember, Vince is a new player,
so he can't be rated,
666
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,720
and the other players don't know
he's not rating.
667
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,560
I hate not knowing
where I'm gonna be rated.
668
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,960
Circle, just give it to me straight.
No chaser.
669
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,080
Oh, here we go, eighth place.
670
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,680
[exhales]
671
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,800
[exhales] Eighth is rough.
672
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,880
Oh, this one is painful to watch. [winces]
673
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,520
If it's me,
I'll punt kick this freaking dresser.
674
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,920
It's not gonna be good, is it?
675
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,040
[groans]
676
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,120
-Come on!
-Who we got? Who we got? Who we got?
677
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,120
[suspenseful music crescendos]
678
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,040
Whoo!
679
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,240
-[both gasp]
-Kai is eighth!
680
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,160
Whoo! That stings.
681
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:11,840
Ugh! That stings.
682
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,920
Oh, they wanted her gone.
They wanted her gone.
683
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Oh, that target on my back was real.
684
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,720
I guess the band
must have just sabotaged her.
685
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,440
-Yes!
-Oh my God. We're not in last! Thank you!
686
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,320
-I'm good!
-Oh my God!
687
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,600
I don't know what this is about.
688
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,720
Clearly, there's a lot
of alliances going on.
689
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,160
I'm shocked.
690
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:37,440
Okay, apparently, these ratings
are gonna be all over the place.
691
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,160
I have no clue what to expect now.
692
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,440
{\an8}Who is number seven?
693
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Oh. Seventh place.
694
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,360
I can't deal with seventh again.
Just don't give me seventh.
695
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,280
The seventh better be Jackson.
696
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,560
Please don't let it be me.
697
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,080
Let's see if this is another big surprise!
698
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,280
Seventh place! Who we got?
699
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,040
Whew.
700
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,120
[sighs] I hate that.
701
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,200
Whoo! Okay! Okay.
Good, good, good, good, good.
702
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,040
-Isabella?
-No!
703
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,000
What is happening?
704
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,760
She went
from influencer to seventh position.
705
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,600
A lot of people are starting
to play the game.
706
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,320
God, let's see sixth place.
707
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,520
I don't want sixth,
but, baby, it's better than seventh.
708
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,760
I hope it's not Ruksana.
709
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,280
Do not be me. Do not be Ashley.
710
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:39,600
Oh, this is stressful.
711
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,800
That freaking hurts.
712
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,280
Ruksana's sixth. What is happening?
That girl's my number effing one!
713
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,400
Oh!
714
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,800
Sweet! We don't have Kai in the top,
and we don't have Ruksana in the top.
715
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:01,200
My alliances. I have Daniel and James.
I hope they're in good positions.
716
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,760
You see this shit right here?
You see my whole alliance up there.
717
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,720
Yeah, I hear you. I know.
718
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,360
We're gonna have to figure some shit out,
'cause this… this ain't it.
719
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,880
Fifth. I don't want fifth. At this point,
I don't know who I can trust.
720
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,120
I just need to keep moving up.
721
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,080
Oh my God. Oh my God.
722
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,680
Five for James. Five.
High five, James. Five.
723
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,760
I'm cool with fifth.
724
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,560
Jackson's fifth!
725
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,040
Oh God!
726
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Okay. Okay, I'm not mad.
727
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,960
Jackson! Hold on! [panting]
728
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:41,120
Oh shit!
729
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:42,360
Oh.
730
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Oh. Oh.
731
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,920
Ugh, another member of the band
down at the bottom.
732
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,080
We went from dead last to fifth,
so I'm… I'll take it.
733
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,000
I don't… I don't know who to trust.
At this point, I literally have no idea.
734
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,280
[groans]
735
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,960
[groans] Fourth.
736
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,640
Please let this be Ashley,
737
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,600
not Daniel or James.
738
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,760
Come on, Circle.
739
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,280
Come on. Come on. Come on.
740
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,800
[splutters] There we go. We made it!
741
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,000
Oh!
742
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,400
Ugh!
743
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,240
Uh, right now,
my alliance is getting they ass beat.
744
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,840
{\an8}[Ruksana] Ugh.
745
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,000
Might be looking up for Daniel, though.
746
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,600
I have to hope.
747
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:40,520
So now it's Ashley, Nick, and Daniel.
748
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,840
Please, Almighty, give me hope.
I have no idea.
749
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,200
Knowing my ass,
it's gonna get the effing shaft!
750
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,520
All right, mama. We made it top three.
Third place is the best I've ever done.
751
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,000
[laughs] I'm one step closer
to being an influencer again.
752
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,360
Oh my God. You know, I didn't want it.
But you know what, baby? Hear my roar!
753
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,400
Please let it be Ashley.
754
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:10,160
Come on. For all things that are good,
let this third position be Ashley.
755
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,440
[blows raspberry]
756
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:20,760
Yes! Okay, so third place.
I'm living for third place.
757
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,160
So the top two, Daniel and Nick.
758
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,440
[screaming]
759
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,280
Oh my God! Yes! Yes!
760
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,880
Your boy is top two. Let's go.
761
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,600
Whoo-hoo!
762
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,320
That's my man.
763
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,880
Come on, put Nick up top. Put Nick up top.
764
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,920
I don't give a shit, bitch.
Give me second.
765
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,400
Yes! [laughing]
766
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,400
Give me that crown, bitch!
767
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,680
Vince, I love you, dude!
768
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,240
[in singsong] Second place!
769
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,280
Daniel, it's in your hands, boo.
It's in your hands.
770
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,600
I think Nick's gonna wanna take out
a heavy player, Kai or Ruksana,
771
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,360
and I can't have that happen.
772
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,720
Nick could go one way or the other.
He can knock me out as a major competitor,
773
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,040
{\an8}or he can honor his word
and be loyal like he said.
774
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,480
{\an8}[Nick] Oh, there it is!
Got the blue check.
775
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,000
This is the day
we've all been waiting for.
776
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,520
[triumphant music plays]
777
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,320
Oh, it feels good.
778
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,160
[Buteau] With the influencers chosen,
779
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:30,920
it's time for The Circle
to make everyone shout…
780
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,840
[loud chiming]
781
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,440
-[alarm blares]
-[all] "Alert!"
782
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,160
-What is this?
-All right!
783
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:37,560
Let's see what's happening next.
784
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,120
"Nick and Daniel are Circle influencers!"
785
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:43,080
You better believe it.
786
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,240
Yes. Go, Daniel.
787
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,840
"Nick and Daniel must now go…"
788
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,360
"…to the Hangout to make their decision."
789
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,240
[sighs deeply] Okay, you got this, Nick.
790
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,560
Don't let him push you.
He's a bigger threat than we think.
791
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,000
I don't feel safe.
792
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,800
One of the two had to sway one.
793
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:09,080
I'm praying on my life it's Nick
so that I can stay here.
794
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:11,840
I just don't know about Daniel.
795
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:13,280
Oh my God. I'm so excited.
796
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,640
We get to block someone.
I get tea! Ooh, let's do this.
797
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,560
I know I'm going.
798
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,840
I am feeling very confident in Daniel.
799
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,320
I don't get the feeling
that today will be my last day.
800
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,280
I hope I'm right.
801
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,120
It's game time.
802
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,560
Nick, he said that he would have my back,
803
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,880
but I just don't foresee him getting rid
of anyone else at this point.
804
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,400
His head is in the game. Yep.
805
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,480
[Buteau] Yep, as newbie influencers,
806
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,000
I'm sure he and Daniel
will be laser-focused
807
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,040
as they enter the Hangout
for the first time.
808
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,000
[gasps]
809
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,000
[laughs]
810
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,600
Oh my God. This is so damn bougie!
811
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,080
It's like this seat was designed for me.
812
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,520
Finally, the king getting to his throne.
813
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,840
This is my destiny. [laughs]
814
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,480
I belong here.
815
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:17,120
I have been waiting for this opportunity
the whole dang game,
816
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,600
and it's now my time to shake things up.
817
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,680
This is gonna be tough. I can feel it.
818
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,600
Daniel and I are kind of
on different sides.
819
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,640
I don't know
how we're gonna agree on anything.
820
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:32,400
Oh, tonight is gonna be
a hard-ass decision.
821
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,840
Daniel is not gonna pick James,
Ruksana, and Kai.
822
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,320
We're at war. It is full-out war now.
823
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,320
I absolutely cannot let
a member of the band get blocked.
824
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,640
That will ruin everything.
825
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,720
I'm gonna have to get blood on my hands.
826
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,360
There is no way I can leave tonight
making everybody happy.
827
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,600
Buckle up them damn boots.
828
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,680
[Buteau] Y'all better check
your footwear too, Daniel,
829
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,280
'cause The Circle's about to send in
a little something something.
830
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,760
-[alarm blares]
-Ah!
831
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,080
Ah! It's happening!
832
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,320
[gasps] I thought
we didn't get alerts up here.
833
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,840
This is exciting. This is exciting!
834
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:15,760
[Sophia] What?
835
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,440
"Tonight two players will be blocked
from The Circle"?
836
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,760
[gasps hoarsely]
837
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Oh shit! Two?
838
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,120
Oh, now I know I'm gone!
839
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,840
[scoffs] Oh, it's… Oh!
840
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,360
Oh my goodness gracious.
What is happening?
841
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,360
"There will not be an influencer chat."
842
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,600
[gasps]
843
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,480
[laughing] Why?
844
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,120
I have the chills and the heebie-jeebies.
845
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,880
What a damn game changer that is!
846
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,520
"Nick and Daniel must each choose
one player to block from The Circle."
847
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:57,400
Oh no!
848
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,400
And then that person is just blocked?
No discussion? No nothing?
849
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,640
[whimpers]
850
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:06,000
My heart right now… I… I… [laughs]
851
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,120
I'm going home.
852
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,680
One person
from each alliance is an influencer.
853
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,320
I have no idea how this is gonna play out.
854
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,720
Not knowing what Daniel is doing
855
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,480
and not having any sort of say
is frightening.
856
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,920
"All players must go to Circle Chat."
857
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,080
They're doing it like that?
Just… just one at a time?
858
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,440
Oh my God!
859
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:28,800
Ooh, it's getting real.
860
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,120
It is getting real.
861
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:31,960
[whimpers]
862
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,120
Kai is my biggest threat
to winning this entire thing.
863
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,480
[exhales]
864
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,840
