["Hungry Like the Wolf"
by Duran Duran playing]
2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,520
[Buteau] It's the second to last day
in The Circle,
3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,879
but I'm sure the players
will be keeping their cool
4
00:00:12,959 --> 00:00:15,200
and treating it just like any other day.
5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520
[all] Good morning, Circle!
6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,760
One more ratings,
and tomorrow's the final!

00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,160

♪ And I'm hungry like the wolf… ♪

00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:32,600
[Buteau] And with the finale
just within reach,
11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,360
some of them are starting to get real,
even if they're technically not.
12
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:40,800
I'm starting to feel a little bad
about being a catfish.
13
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:43,040
I just pray
that people will see past that.
14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,559
At the end of the day,
it's a game, and we all know that.
15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,879
And everyone has to do
what's best for their game.
16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,440
I still trust them,
but I know everyone's gonna be
17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800
a little bit more cutthroat
for themselves.
18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,919
[James] Six faces. One gotta go.
19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,839
I don't think anybody feels safe,
and they shouldn't.
20
00:00:58,919 --> 00:01:02,120
It's the final blocking.
Anything could happen at this moment.
21
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:05,800
[Buteau] Anything? As in "James
in a camo T-shirt" anything
22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,880
or like "The Circle sending an alert
before breakfast" anything?
23
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:09,800
[loud chiming]

00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,479

-[all] "Alert!"

00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,880
What do we got?
26
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,840
[sighs] First alert of the day.
27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,479
This is early.
28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Oh gosh.
29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,759
Ah, ah.
30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,360
What could it be this time?
31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:22,600
Be good news.
32
00:01:24,119 --> 00:01:26,360
-"Players…"
-"…you will each receive…"
33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,880
"…a message from home."
34
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,640
No way!
35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,680
I'm already getting emotional.
36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,479
[Buteau] Me too, honey.
Tissues at the ready.
37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,320
[emotional music playing]
38
00:01:36,399 --> 00:01:38,119
[Buteau] First up
for their personal message
39
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:39,920
from home is Ashley.
40
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Circle, uh, play message from home.
41
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,680
-Hi, Ashley. It's Ashley.
-[Matthew laughing]
42
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:48,160
Ashley!
43
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,600
I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of us.
44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,040
Yes!
45
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:56,880
Keep your heart on your sleeve.
Continue to be as genuine as possible,
46
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,839
obviously using my face
but using your heart.
47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520
I have no doubt in my mind you can do it.
48
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,399
I have no doubt
you're gonna win The Circle.
49
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:09,160
[chuckles emotionally]
I freaking love her. [sniffles]
50
00:02:09,799 --> 00:02:11,280
-Hi, handsome boy.
-[gasps]
51
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:13,600
I'm missing you so much.
52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,360
I'm so proud of you.
53
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,959
Matt, it goes without saying
how much I miss you. You know that.
54
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:25,040
And I'm too busy to miss you,
'cause I'm taking care of the damn dog.
55
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,959
[laughs]
56
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,799
-[Matthew's dad laughing]
-Daddy misses you too, a lot.
57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,560
No matter what happens,
going forward from here,
58
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,600
you're a complete winner, Son.
59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280
And we just have nothing
but pride and joy for you.
60
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Superstar, Son!
61
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,560
[chuckles]
62
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,480
We love you. We miss you.
63
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Can't wait to have you
back home, though. [chuckles]
64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,000
[chuckles, sniffles]
65
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,560
I needed this.
I needed to see my parents. I miss them.
66
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:56,519
It's just the most beautiful thing
I could… I could ever ask for.
67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,560
This is, uh…
68
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,320
This was so special.
69
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,720
[kisses] I love you guys.
70
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:04,720
Oh man!
71
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,480
[sighs]
72
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,040
That's worth more
than anything I could ask for right now.
73
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,840
[Buteau] Already regretting mascara today.
74
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,480
Next is Jacki.
75
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200
Circle, play message from home.
76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,480
You did it, Jacki. I am so proud of you.
77
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,399
Oh my God! That's Cece.
78
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,120
She's, like, my best friend. [sniffles]
79
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,440
I know that your brother is looking down
on you right now and smiling.
80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,799
I know that, in your life,
you've gone through so many adversities,
81
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,679
but you have just been
this amazing light in my life.
82
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,920
I'm so happy to have known you
83
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720
and wonderfully blessed
to call you friend.
84
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,239
Remember to be yourself,
um, remain true to who you are.
85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,600
I know
you're probably overthinking this game,
86
00:03:55,679 --> 00:03:59,320
but, you know, you got this.
If anyone can play this game, it's you.
87
00:03:59,399 --> 00:04:01,480
Miss you so much.
Can't wait to see you soon.
88
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:08,079
She's, like, been there for me
more than anyone in my entire life.
89
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:11,000
And, um, I really needed that.
90
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Circle, thank you so much
for this message.
91
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,959
Circle, play my message from home.
92
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
[Buteau] Nick's message comes
from older brother Max,
93
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:28,200
sister-in-law Nicole,
sister Casey, and his twin brother Zach.
94
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,720
But most importantly,
we finally get to meet Bruce the dog.
95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,520
[all] Hi, Nick! Congratulations!
96
00:04:35,599 --> 00:04:37,400
Aw! [chuckles]
97
00:04:37,479 --> 00:04:39,919
Nick, I don't think
I've been more than two weeks
98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,039
without talking to you on the phone.
Definitely miss hearing your voice,
99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,039
but I know you're crushing it
on this show.
100
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Uh, hope you're not chopping onions
right now listening to me.
101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,680
But congratulations
on making it this far. [chuckles]
102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,120
Keep it up. Um, just keep having fun.
103
00:04:55,919 --> 00:04:57,360
We probably don't tell you it enough,
104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,120
but we love you,
and we admire you so much.
105
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Just such a natural charmer that we know
you were made to win this game.
106
00:05:05,599 --> 00:05:06,680
That's the plan.
107
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Nick, we're so proud of you
for making it this far.
108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,039
We never had any doubt.
109
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760
Now here in the final stretch,
I'm gonna need you to focus.
110
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:13,720
[chuckles] I got this!
111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,200
Mind on the prize, okay? Brain, not heart.
112
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,560
Stay focused, win this thing,
and we'll see you here soon.
113
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,680
I got you.
114
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,840
Enjoy the rest of your time
at The Circle, Nick.
115
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:26,479
We miss you.
We hope you're having a great time.
116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Actually, we know you are,
so keep having fun. [chuckles]
117
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:30,200
Stay your goofy self.
118
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,359
Uh, and we miss you
and can't wait for you to come home soon.
119
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,400
-Bye.
-We love you, Nick!
120
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:37,160
-Love you!
-[all laughing]
121
00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:41,919
That was awesome. Wow! Family!
122
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,479
Thank you.
123
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,840
My older brother, Max,
had a great comment in there,
124
00:05:46,919 --> 00:05:48,440
"Brain, not heart."
125
00:05:49,359 --> 00:05:51,919
I came in saying
that I was gonna be super logical,
126
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,800
but I think I've slipped a little bit
127
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,039
into letting my heart take over
more than my brain.
128
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200
And I think Max is right.
It is time to focus back in.
129
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,640
This is the final blocking.
130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,840
I need to be focused on, like,
what is best for me strategically
131
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,599
and try to get the emotions out of there
for one last blocking,
132
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,520
and then I can relax.
133
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,720
[emotional music playing]
134
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,280
[Buteau] Next is Kai's video from home.
135
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,880
[squeals softly, chuckles]
136
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,160
-[whistles]
-Whoo-hoo!
137
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,799
[sobs]
138
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Hello, baby girl, how are you doing?
139
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,560
This is Mama.
She misses her Keisha so much.
140
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,120
Your mom and I are just so proud of you,
141
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,160
but you know that already.
142
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,760
From the time you was small
until this next journey in your life.
143
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,280
Be genuine. Be who you are.
144
00:06:50,359 --> 00:06:54,400
You have love inside of you
that exudes out of you
145
00:06:54,479 --> 00:06:57,799
and makes a person feel warm and tingly.
146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,200
Do your very, very best,
and your best will be good enough.
147
00:07:05,919 --> 00:07:09,080
[Kai's mom] You are strong.
You are powerful.
148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,640
Let that personality
you are blessed with shine,
149
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,640
and it'll bring you on home.
150
00:07:14,719 --> 00:07:19,680
And the final thing I'd say is
you know and I know
151
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,440
that Black girls rock.
152
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,359
[laughs]
153
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:26,919
[sobs]
154
00:07:34,799 --> 00:07:36,919
I needed that. [sobs]
155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,080
Seeing messages from my loved ones
156
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:43,359
has
157
00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:46,520
reassured me
158
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,599
that it's not about the game.
159
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,320
It's about being me
and staying true to who I am,
160
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,840
and no matter what,
161
00:07:59,359 --> 00:08:02,440
as long as I do my best,
then that's good enough.
162
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:07,200
And yes, Dad,
Black girls do rock. [laughs]
163
00:08:08,039 --> 00:08:10,000
[Buteau] Amen, Kai's dad.
164
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,479
Now it's Isabella's turn.
165
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Oh my God.
166
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,520
[laughs] I'm already crying,
and I haven't even seen it.
167
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:20,960
Circle, play my message from home.
168
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,640
Oh, it's my sister! [laughs]
169
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,520
-Hi!
-Hi, Sophia, or should I say Isabella?
170
00:08:30,599 --> 00:08:34,439
-[laughs]
-I cannot begin to explain
171
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,400
how proud I am to be your older sister.
172
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,440
There is no one as kind
and pure and loving as you,
173
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:49,000
and even though I think the idea
of you pretending to be me is still crazy,
174
00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:52,120
you continue to astound me.
175
00:08:52,199 --> 00:08:56,760
And you are just so beautiful,
and I… I am so inspired by you daily.
176
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,199
Ah. [sniffles]
177
00:08:59,079 --> 00:09:00,720
If I had any advice to give you,
178
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,160
I would say to always, always, always
179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,920
continue to be Sophia…
180
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,920
[sniffles]
181
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,720
…and I just hope
that you always, always stay the same.
182
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,280
-Ah!
-[kisses]
183
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920
[Buteau] And now, the rest of her family
and girlfriend Savannah.
184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920
-Hey, sweetie! You made it! You did it!
-Ah! [laughs while crying]
185
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,280
We love you so much.
186
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,360
I miss you more than anything.
Our cats miss you more than anything,
187
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880
and I know because they've started
to act up a little bit.
188
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:32,720
So, I do need you to come home.
I need that firm hand.
189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,680
Sophia, you're just amazing.
Can't wait to see you. [chuckles]
190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920
-[all chuckling]
-Oh no! Dad's crying!
191
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,520
Me too, Dad!
192
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,280
I'm so, so proud of you
and… and what you've accomplished.
193
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,800
What I love about you, Sophie,
is your heart is so big.
194
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,760
You are such an inspiration to me.
I'm so proud of you, darling.
195
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:58,880
You came into this with a plan.
Stick to it.
196
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:00,560
[sniffs, groans]
197
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,760
I love those guys. [laughs]
198
00:10:04,839 --> 00:10:07,959
This has definitely given me
the confidence and just like, reassurance
199
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,839
that I can just be myself and win this.
200
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,600
It feels really good to hear Isabella say
that, like, even though it's her picture,
201
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,640
it's… it's, like, me
that's gotten me here.
202
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,079
I don't have to… [sighs]
203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,040
…be this super cool, flirty girl,
you know?
204
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,240
Like, I… I can just be myself,
and… and that's enough.
205
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,560
[inhales] It's what I needed.
I needed to see their faces,
206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440
and seeing this
just makes it all… [sighs] …worth it.
207
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,959
[Buteau] Finally, it's time
for James to see his message.
208
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,160
[sighs]
209
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,520
Circle, please play my message from home.
210
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,480
There's my brother right here.
211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Hey, James. Congratulations.
212
00:10:48,839 --> 00:10:51,520
I'm so proud of you
for making it this far.
213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Look, I'm not gonna be fake.
214
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,480
-Bring the money home or don't come home.
-[laughs]
215
00:10:59,199 --> 00:11:01,520
Nah, I'm just playing.
We miss you so much.
216
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,000
I know we don't have the relationship
217
00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:07,560
to where we always talk about the love
that we have for each other,
218
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,480
but at the end of the day,
you know I love you to death.
219
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,920
-And I know that you love me to death.
-[groans]
220
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:18,199
You were there for me
when nobody else was,
221
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,079
and I appreciate that so much.
222
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,959
I think that you are a phenomenal person.
223
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,920
I've always just admired
how you never give up.
224
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,480
You are so persistent.
225
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,959
Stay focused, keep your head in the game,
226
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,360
don't get distracted,
and bring home the money.
227
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,959
That's all I got to say.
Bring home the money, bro.
228
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,440
Like for real,
like, make it happen, captain.
229
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,640
[sniffles, groans]
230
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,959
Hey, Papas. I miss you so much.
231
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,400
-Oh man. [sniffs]
-I'm so proud of you.
232
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480
I'm gonna cry not to… try not to cry,
but I'm really, really proud of you.
233
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:58,680
I know you're out there
having the time of your life.
234
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,839
Know that I miss you.
Couldn't be more excited to be your girl.
235
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
-[groans]
-Twelve years behind us,
236
00:12:05,079 --> 00:12:08,079
and I hope for another 1,200
in the future.
237
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640
Keep being that sweet person
that you've been thus far,
238
00:12:12,719 --> 00:12:14,920
because great things come
to great people, basically.
239
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:15,880
[groans]
240
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
James, I know you can do this.
You're so close.
241
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,719
-Aw, thank you, baby. I love you.
-I know you can do this.
242
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,719
So keep going. Keep going.
243
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,199
You got this, babe.
You got this. I believe in you.
244
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360
-I love you so much.
-I love you too. [sniffs, groans]
245
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,719
Man!
246
00:12:31,959 --> 00:12:33,040
[sighs]
247
00:12:34,199 --> 00:12:36,520
I didn't think I was gonna cry. [sniffs]
248
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,560
Oh man!
249
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:42,199
Whoo. I want to say thanks to The Circle.
250
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,520
This gave me
what I needed to push through,
251
00:12:44,599 --> 00:12:47,440
uh, and understand my…
252
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,520
my mission that I have,
253
00:12:49,599 --> 00:12:51,880
it's… is… is to win the money,
254
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,520
and I want to bring it back to them.
255
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,680
Whoo. [exhales deeply]
256
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,800
That was a lot.
257
00:12:58,719 --> 00:13:00,640
[Buteau] Wow! That was emotional.
258
00:13:00,719 --> 00:13:03,440
Maybe we should give them
some time to process that.
259
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Okay, time's up.
Start the Circle Chat, guys.
260
00:13:06,599 --> 00:13:07,480
-Circle…
-…take me…
261
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,440
…to Circle Chat.
262
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,760
[Sophia] Circle, message,
263
00:13:11,839 --> 00:13:15,280
"Well, I haven't cried happy tears
like that in I don't know how long."
264
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,199
"I hope everyone is feeling
as loved and strengthened as I do."
265
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,680
"I know we all needed it.
Heart emoji." Send.
266
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,040
You're damn right, Isabella.
267
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,360
[inhales] Needed that.
268
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Message, "Hey, Circle fam."
269
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,400
"Did that feel good or what?"
270
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,280
"I'm pretty sure I cried enough
for everybody in The Circle."
271
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,120
"#MyFamilyIsEverything." And send.
272
00:13:33,199 --> 00:13:35,160
"I usually talk to my twin every day,
273
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,040
so I've been missing him a ton.
It was great to see him."
274
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,400
Aw. Nick's a twin?
275
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,199
"It was great to see him
and have him hype me up."
276
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,839
"He was able to sneak little Brucey
into the video. #GroupHug."
277
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,599
His dog's name is Bruce?
278
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,800
[chuckles] I want to meet Brucey.
279
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Circle, message,
"I'm sure we all feel the same way."
280
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,680
"That was a win in itself."
281
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,000
"Tearing up and can only imagine
the love in the videos all of you got."
282
00:13:59,079 --> 00:13:59,959
"#…"
283
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,160
"…CircleShowedHerSensitiveSide."
She sure did.
284
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,120
[exhales] Circle, message, "I didn't think
I was going to cry in The Circle."
285
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:12,120
"But getting a message
from my brother that is trans…"
286
00:14:12,199 --> 00:14:14,800
"…really made me appreciate
every single one of you for accepting me
287
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,880
as one of your own."
288
00:14:15,959 --> 00:14:17,839
"I've been put in a lot of situations
289
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,000
where people didn't want anything to do
with me because of the color of my skin."
290
00:14:21,079 --> 00:14:23,120
"And I don't feel that in The Circle."
291
00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:26,120
"So thank you for the deep connections
that I have made with all of you."
292
00:14:27,959 --> 00:14:30,079
Man, I don't feel like crying again.
293
00:14:30,719 --> 00:14:31,920
[chuckles]
294
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Message, "I don't think we all realized
how genuinely we all needed that."
295
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560
"I'm glad it gave us
the boost that we needed
296
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,160
to carry us through to the end."
297
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,680
"This has been an amazing journey
that I believe has bonded us together."
298
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,240
"And to quote Ashley…"
299
00:14:45,319 --> 00:14:46,479
Aw!
300
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,040
"#BeBold…"
301
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,520
-"…BeProud…"

"The Circle Chat…"
303
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,439
"…is now closed."
304
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,160
[whispering sound effects]
305
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,400
[chuckles softly]
306
00:14:59,479 --> 00:15:01,079
Back in the game, though.
307
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,280
We back. That's it. Nothing…
I ain't crying no more. I'm done.
308
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Let's make this money, baby.
309
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,560
[snapping fingers]
310
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,839
[Buteau] With messages from home
giving them the final push they need,
311
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,120
our players are feeling strong…
312
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:16,599
[grunts]
313
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:17,760
[Buteau] …focused…
314
00:15:17,839 --> 00:15:21,199
Ow! My little eyeball.
315
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,719
-[Buteau] …balanced…
-[exhales]
316
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,319
[Buteau] …and, um, peckish?
317
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:26,319
[exhales]
318
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,800
[Buteau] With his older brother's words
ringing in his ears,
319
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,240
Nick is engaging his brain
and not his heart
320
00:15:33,319 --> 00:15:35,400
to start a group chat with Kai and James.
321
00:15:35,479 --> 00:15:37,760
I really need to talk to James and Kai,
322
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:41,719
because I think they have
a really good shot at becoming influencer.
323
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Definitely the family video motivates me
to really want to take home that prize.
324
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,959
I need to make sure
I'm on their good side.
325
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,760
[water running]
326
00:15:50,839 --> 00:15:53,120
[both] "Nick has invited you
to a group chat."
327
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:54,800
-What the hell is this?
-What?
328
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,079
I'm gonna have to sit down for this one.
329
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Whew! [sighs]
330
00:15:59,479 --> 00:16:03,400
The last time I talked with Kai,
we both said we had each other's backs,
331
00:16:03,479 --> 00:16:06,199
but that was a while ago.
So I just need to sort of check back in,
332
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,719
make sure she knows
that I am with her 100%,
333
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,359
to the end, 'cause I don't know
what James has told her.
334
00:16:12,439 --> 00:16:14,280
Mmm, this is interesting,
335
00:16:14,359 --> 00:16:17,880
because I was sure
that Nick wanted to get rid of Kai
336
00:16:18,599 --> 00:16:21,520
when we was in the influencer chat
at the last blocking.
337
00:16:21,599 --> 00:16:23,719
But that was sort of a negotiation tactic,
338
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,640
but he might have been like,
"Kai, Nick is gunning for you."
339
00:16:27,719 --> 00:16:29,640
So, I need to make sure they all know
340
00:16:29,719 --> 00:16:32,920
that I am on their side
and wanna make it to the end with them.
341
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,479
It's just interesting
he brought Kai in this conversation.
342
00:16:36,199 --> 00:16:39,560
Circle, message, "What is up, y'all?"
343
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,160
"I can't believe
we have made it this far."
344
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,199
"James, you and I had
an extremely open and honest discussion
345
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800
about everyone during our influencer chat,
346
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,160
so I feel like I know you
better than I know most other players."
347
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,400
"Kai, we may have started off a bit rocky,
348
00:16:54,479 --> 00:16:56,439
but we recently had
some great conversations
349
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
and have been able to demonstrate
that we had each other's backs."
350
00:16:59,319 --> 00:17:04,000
"There's no doubt that I want to ride
with both of you till the end. #LetsRock."
351
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:08,319
[sighs]
352
00:17:08,399 --> 00:17:10,640
I feel a genuine message off that.
353
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,159
Keep in mind, I made Nick say man-to-man
that he's gonna keep me and Kai safe.
354
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,159
I told him
that I would keep him and Kai safe.
355
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Hopefully, that makes
this seem less strategic.
356
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,720
To be honest,
I just feel like that's extremely fake.
357
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960
When James tells me
that he was ready to get rid of me,
358
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,480
that hit.
359
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,520
This is a smart move for Nick to make sure
I know that Kai is safe with him.
360
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Circle, message,
361
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,360
"Nick, you and Kai have had my respect
from the beginning of this game."
362
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,560
"And I am glad that you are going to stick
to your word from the influencer chat
363
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,760
about now keeping Kai and I safe."
364
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,040
"I would want nothing more
365
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:57,480
than to be standing with you and Kai
at the end… Dot, dot, dot."
366
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,840
It seems like, when he said
about "now keeping Kai and I safe,"
367
00:18:02,919 --> 00:18:06,120
so they must have said that in the chat?
368
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,720
James directly referred to us chatting
369
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,640
where I said
I would keep Kai and him safe.
370
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,800
Now I've said it again, James has said it,
so Kai has to think it's true.
371
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Man-to-man,
if Nick is a man like he say he is,
372
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,640
all you got is your word.
373
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,680
Okay. Um…
374
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Okay.
375
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,240
[Nick] Here we go. Kai, "Hey, guys,
congratulations on making it this far."
376
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,000
"I know we haven't always seen eye to eye,
377
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,360
but I'm glad we have proven to rise above
those issues and support one another."
378
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,200
All right.
379
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,399
Message, "I am totally on board
380
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,600
with standing beside you two
in the final…"
381
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:47,600
"…as long as we promise to have
each other's back till the very end."
382
00:18:47,679 --> 00:18:51,640
"#IGotYall. #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork."
383
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,919
"#DoYallPromise?"
That's what I'm talking about, Kai.
384
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,960
[chuckles]
385
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,640
Now, if you promise me something,
Nick… [chuckles]
386
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,080
…and you go against it,
387
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,919
I can't be your friend
in real life. [laughs]
388
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,800
So, now, not only did I get
man-to-man word from Nick,
389
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,640
now Kai is like, "Do you promise, though?"
390
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,120
I just really hope
that Nick reads this thoroughly
391
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,919
and gets where I'm coming from,
as in don't switch up on me.
392
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,520
Circle, message,
"Kai, you deserve to be in the finale,
393
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,360
and if I have the power,
I will make that happen."
394
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,960
"#TotalTrust. You have my promise.
In fact, let's call it a pinky promise."
395
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Whoo-whee!
396
00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:44,280
I'm not gonna lie.
Reading that makes me feel good.
397
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,399
I'm gonna take him at his word
398
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,560
and hope
that he genuinely keeps his promise.
399
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,159
[James] The only reason I did not trust
Nick was because, at the last blocking,
400
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,840
it was an obvious alliance
versus alliance.
401
00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,440
Uh…
402
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:02,760
I do have no reason
not to trust Nick, really.
403
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,760
I feel pretty good about that chat.
404
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,960
I definitely feel good
about James in there.
405
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,320
Kai, I know
that her and James are so close
406
00:20:12,399 --> 00:20:17,800
that if James says he's with me,
I think Kai's with me.
407
00:20:19,679 --> 00:20:21,560
[Buteau] While Nick's taking
the direct route
408
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,159
to influence his Circle fate…
409
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,720
Will I be married in the next five years?
410
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,360
[Buteau] …Ashley is turning
to a slightly less orthodox way
411
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,600
of predicting the future.
412
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Will I be blocked tonight?
413
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,120
[dart clatters]
414
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,600
I guess that's, like,
"You don't deserve an answer right now."
415
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,679
They're not even gonna
see me coming today.
416
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,159
Out of nowhere,
your ass is blocked! [laughs]
417
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,120
[Buteau] And while G.I. James
does whatever he does,
418
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,320
and the others relax,
419
00:20:52,399 --> 00:20:55,000
Nick's putting the final pieces
into his puzzle
420
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
and hoping to create a domino effect.
421
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,919
Let's help him
with this game-playing metaphor
422
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,720
by throwing one of these in.
423
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:05,159
-[all] "Savage Questions."
-[James] What is this?
424
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,800
-[yelling]
-I don't want any savagery! [chuckles]
425
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,480
"Savage Questions."
All right, hold on, Savage Questions.
426
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,480
No! [laughing]
427
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,960
[Buteau] Each player is given the chance
to ask another player a savage question…
428
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,720
Oh God! [chuckles]
429
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,840
Oh, this makes me nervous.
430
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,640
[Buteau] …anonymously.
431
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,679
Okay, that changes things a little bit.
432
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,679
The fact that it is anonymous does help.
433
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,800
[laughing] Yeah!
434
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Give me that anonymous courage.
435
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,640
I don't think anything good can come
from Savage Questions.
436
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,800
We're literally at the end.
437
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Like, every single move we make
is, like, under a magnifying glass.
438
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,640
This is really important.
439
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,880
Bring it!
440
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,520
So you can really use this opportunity
to your advantage.
441
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,480
[Buteau] Well, let's find out, Nick,
'cause you're up first.
442
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,960
Circle, I wanna send my question to Jacki,
443
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,439
because I feel the most uncertain
on where I stand with Jacki.
444
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,320
I feel like I have a tighter alliance
with everyone else,
445
00:22:09,399 --> 00:22:15,159
so I want to try to throw
as much shade and doubt her way.
446
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,919
It's a question for moi?
447
00:22:19,919 --> 00:22:20,919
[Buteau] Once asked,
448
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,560
the player on the receiving end
must answer publicly.
449
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,800
Ooh.
450
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,720
"Jacki,
are you actually a video game girl,
451
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,439
or is that just
the perfect catfish persona?"
452
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,040
Do you think she's just gonna say,
"Yeah, I'm a catfish. You got me."
453
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,679
[splutters] Come on.
454
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,960
The way to prove I'm a video game girl…
455
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,640
Let's get out the résumé.
456
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Message, "My favorite game this year,
DOOM Eternal."
457
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,640
"Nothing feels better than chainsawing
a demon zombie in half." Send.
458
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,520
It's a good answer
459
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,280
but also could've easily been said
by a guy.
460
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,480
Fucking nailed this answer.
461
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,480
I believe her.
462
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
'Cause my girl is not a catfish.
463
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,159
But I just need some sort of…
464
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,720
at least a little seed of doubt
in everyone's mind.
465
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,080
This made her look
more like a catfish. [laughing]
466
00:23:11,159 --> 00:23:14,280
I can't wait to see what else is coming.
467
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:16,120
[Buteau] Next up is Ashley.
468
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,720
So, I want to ask this question
469
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
because I want to put pressure
on this player right now
470
00:23:23,919 --> 00:23:26,240
so people are more likely
to rate her lower.
471
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,159
My savage question is for Kai.
472
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,960
"Who do you think is least deserving
of winning the prize money and why?"
473
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,520
Oh! [exhales]
474
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,720
Why do you put me in this position?
475
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,600
-[groaning]
-Ugh, these are rough.
476
00:23:44,679 --> 00:23:46,880
Hopefully, other players see this and say,
477
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,320
"Okay, that's who she'd block
if she was influencer."
478
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,080
This could have come from Jacki.
479
00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:56,760
This just seems
like an Ashley question to me.
480
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:00,000
I feel like Kai is gonna be struggling
to answer this one.
481
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,880
I feel like everybody's deserving,
482
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,080
but then I don't feel like
that'd be answering the question.
483
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,399
You gotta play your cards right, Kai.
484
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,399
Circle, message… [exhales]
485
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,840
…"I believe that every single player
486
00:24:15,919 --> 00:24:20,439
is deserving of winning the prize money."
487
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960
"I do believe
that those who have had to overcome
488
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,640
more of The Circle's challenges deserve
489
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,880
to really be considered,
490
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,000
because these players have shown
tremendous growth throughout the journey."
491
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,360
"Therefore, the least deserving player
492
00:24:35,439 --> 00:24:38,800
would be that who hasn't grown
as much in The Circle."
493
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,240
And send.
494
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,840
What a cop-out. She didn't say a name.
495
00:24:45,919 --> 00:24:50,120
She wasn't straight up
about exactly who she's talking about.
496
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,399
Is that Jacki?
497
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,120
I think she's talking to me.
498
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,720
It probably would've been really shitty
499
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,000
to see Jacki's name
completely written out,
500
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,600
even though this alludes to her.
501
00:25:01,679 --> 00:25:03,960
Everybody's just sugarcoating everything.
502
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Ugh.
503
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:06,520
I feel like that's a cop-out,
504
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,360
but I'm willing to take it
if I don't have to say anybody's name.
505
00:25:09,439 --> 00:25:12,760
It was a really hard question,
and I think Kai dealt with it tactfully
506
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,199
and… and… and with class.
507
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,320
[Buteau] Good job!
Now it's your turn, Kai.
508
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,320
I really wanna know about Isabella.
509
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:26,280
This whole thing
she's got going on with Nick.
510
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,480
My savage question for Isabella is,
511
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,240
"Is your Circle fling with Nick genuine
or just game play?"
512
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,919
[inhales deeply]
513
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,040
"Is your Circle fling with Nick genuine
or just game play?"
514
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,280
-[laughs] That's what I was thinking.
-Oh, what?
515
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,280
Could be from Nick.
516
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,840
Why would she say
anything other than, "It's genuine"?
517
00:25:47,919 --> 00:25:49,520
Easy question.
518
00:25:50,199 --> 00:25:52,640
I feel like Nick
asked this question. [laughs]
519
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,120
If Nick asked this question, it… it's sad.
520
00:25:55,199 --> 00:25:57,280
He just want Isabella to love him so bad.
521
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,919
I think this was probably written
by James.
522
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,080
It's from Nick or James.
523
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,520
[sighs] La, la, let's see.
How do I wanna go about this?
524
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,480
I'm hoping that,
when Isabella answers this question,
525
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,080
it will reveal some truth to the players
526
00:26:13,159 --> 00:26:16,360
as to if she's more of a tactical player,
527
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,640
or is she really building
genuine connections?
528
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,080
Ugh! I really hope Nick is just a gay man
529
00:26:24,159 --> 00:26:26,919
who is also really struggling
flirting with a woman
530
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760
and doesn't want anything
out of this, and…
531
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,000
So that way,
532
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,679
when I meet him, there's no hard feelings,
and he's not crushed.
533
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,040
Even if it's just game play,
there's no reason for her to admit that.
534
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,040
All right. Circle, message,
"I definitely didn't come in to The Circle
535
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:46,439
thinking I was going to find
someone like Nick."
536
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,720
"I don't know if Nick feels the same way,
but from the conversations we have had,
537
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,640
I've enjoyed getting to know him
and don't want it to stop anytime soon."
538
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:53,600
Send.
539
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,919
-Ugh!
-Ooh!
540
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399
She just put herself out there!
541
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,080
[romantic music playing]
542
00:27:01,159 --> 00:27:05,480
Aw. See, I might be bringing
people together. [chuckles]
543
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,919
I mean, that was a really nice message.
544
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,280
[laughing]
545
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:11,399
I would be crushed
546
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,320
if Nick really has let his guard down
and opened up his heart
547
00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:18,360
and is really starting to catch feelings
for Isabella. That kills me.
548
00:27:18,439 --> 00:27:20,520
All right, Isabella,
well, you better believe
549
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,600
I'm gonna be taking you on a date, then.
550
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,320
As long as I'm the flower girl,
I'm happy. What a cute message.
551
00:27:28,399 --> 00:27:32,480
Like, where's the savagery?
Like, this… this… this what y'all do?
552
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,679
Huh? Come on.
553
00:27:36,679 --> 00:27:38,880
[Buteau] You want savage, James?
You better bring it.
554
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,880
I don't… I don't know
where Ashley lies fully,
555
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,240
so I kind of want to cause some drama
between two of her closest allies.
556
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
I think
everybody's been playing soft tonight.
557
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,919
I think I need to spice things up.
558
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Agh.
559
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,000
Anonymous, "Who are you more loyal to…
Dot, dot, dot."
560
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,240
[all] "Nick or Isabella?"
561
00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:01,840
Trying to break up the band?
562
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:03,880
Holy sh…
563
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,480
I think the intentions here
are definitely dirty.
564
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720
I don't know what… what y'all was doing.
This is savage.
565
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,919
I already blew up my game
the other day calling Kai out.
566
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,320
I'm not ready to do it again.
567
00:28:14,399 --> 00:28:16,520
I feel like if she says, like, Isabella,
568
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,560
then people are gonna gun for me,
you know?
569
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,360
Wiggle out that one, boo.
570
00:28:20,439 --> 00:28:24,840
I had a feeling this question would come,
um, so I'm ready for it.
571
00:28:24,919 --> 00:28:29,880
I just hope Ashley doesn't say something
that just, like, ruins everything.
572
00:28:29,959 --> 00:28:31,320
[laughs]
573
00:28:31,399 --> 00:28:32,959
Circle, message,
574
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,560
"You're really giving me
a Sophie's Choice, aren't you?"
575
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,280
"I know these two wonderful people
576
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:40,040
have both felt my integrity
throughout this game."
577
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,280
"If it came to a sacrifice,
and I was able to,
578
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,120
I'd put myself on the chopping block
before them
579
00:28:46,199 --> 00:28:48,320
because that's just the type of person
that I am."
580
00:28:48,399 --> 00:28:50,240
"I'd pull the coin out of my pocket,
581
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,520
parentheses, Nick would be tails,
and let fate decide."
582
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,120
[James] "I know this may sound
like a cop-out, but it's 100% my truth."
583
00:28:57,639 --> 00:28:59,320
Damn! She… she aced that.
584
00:28:59,399 --> 00:29:03,959
Ashley gave a… a decent, genuine response,
so I'm not too upset with her,
585
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,240
but it's not like
I gained a bunch of respect for her.
586
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,040
[gasps] She did not just say
"a Sophie's Choice."
587
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,480
I think the purpose of this
was definitely to divide the band a bit.
588
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,320
I'm not giving them that answer.
589
00:29:15,399 --> 00:29:16,959
This is how I feel,
590
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,439
and they're just gonna have
to digest this.
591
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,679
I like that people don't know
how she's rating,
592
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,919
and I like that people,
you know, don't know
593
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,840
if she's gonna put Nick first,
put me first.
594
00:29:26,679 --> 00:29:30,360
[all] "Congratulations, players,
on your savage questions."
595
00:29:30,439 --> 00:29:32,280
Thank God that's over.
596
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,959
That was making me sweat.
597
00:29:35,199 --> 00:29:38,320
[both] "The Circle hopes
that this has been informative."
598
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:40,600
It certainly has, Circle.
599
00:29:40,679 --> 00:29:41,879
It certainly has.
600
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:43,760
[upbeat music playing]
601
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520
[Buteau] As evening descends
the day before the finale,
602
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,480
our players are doing some important prep
ahead of the final ratings.
603
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,879
[Kai] I know you're not gonna eat all this
but just put it all in the bowl anyway.
604
00:29:58,959 --> 00:30:01,360
[Buteau] Okay,
Kai's preparation is my favorite.
605
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Like I always say,
606
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,840
you can't have good ratings
without a clean counter, right?
607
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,159
[James] Whoo-whee! Come on.
608
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,679
[Buteau] And after her revealing answer
in the game earlier,
609
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,480
Nick wants to hit up his kind-of-
but-no-one-is-sure-if-she-actually-is
610
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,240
Circle girlfriend Isabella.
611
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,480
Ah, much better. [chuckles]
612
00:30:28,199 --> 00:30:31,959
Isabella, I definitely want
to let her know
613
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,240
that we're gonna totally make it
to the finale,
614
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,360
and, if we do, we're going on a date.
615
00:30:37,959 --> 00:30:42,879
So, Circle,
let's start a private chat with Isabella.
616
00:30:44,639 --> 00:30:45,560
Oh. [sighs]
617
00:30:45,639 --> 00:30:49,000
"Nick has invited you to a private chat."
618
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,320
Circle, message, "Isabella!
I gotta say, I was cheesin' pretty hard
619
00:30:54,399 --> 00:30:57,280
as I was reading your answer
to the 'savage question.'"
620
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,840
"I wanted to reach out because of the bit
that said you weren't sure of how I felt."
621
00:31:01,919 --> 00:31:03,480
"So far, I like what we've got,
622
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,320
and we better be going on a date
after all this!" [laughs]
623
00:31:07,399 --> 00:31:12,480
"So excited for the possibility
to finally meet you in the finale."
624
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Oh no!
625
00:31:14,679 --> 00:31:16,240
[laughs]
626
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,439
It's hard,
because Sophia freaking adores Nick
627
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,040
and wants his heart
to just be kept so safe,
628
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,199
and it's difficult because, as Isabella,
I have to flirt to keep him on side
629
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,000
and keep up this persona that I created.
630
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,040
Ugh, it sucks having to be this alter ego,
631
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,240
but I hope
that, coming out of this, he's like,
632
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,600
"I don't even care. You're sick as hell.
You're my good friend Sophia."
633
00:31:40,679 --> 00:31:42,639
Boom, boom, boom.
634
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,280
We flirtin'. Look out.
635
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,199
"Nick!"
636
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,840
With four I's. Whoo!
637
00:31:50,959 --> 00:31:52,600
"A date after this is a must,
638
00:31:52,679 --> 00:31:55,040
and I can't wait
to meet you in the finale as well."
639
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,199
"As far as I'm concerned,
it's not a possibility. It's happening."
640
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,800
"Wink face." I like it.
641
00:32:01,879 --> 00:32:04,520
I came into The Circle to win 100K,
642
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,199
and I'm gonna leave with 100K
and a hot date with a boy. [laughing]
643
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:13,399
Circle, message, "What is your bar vibe?"
644
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:19,000
"Are you hitting the dance floor
or more of the dive bar type? #OrBoth."
645
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,959
Send.
646
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,080
[chuckles]
647
00:32:22,159 --> 00:32:25,639
Reading this conversation,
I'm just like, "Blech." [laughs]
648
00:32:25,719 --> 00:32:28,240
How have I done this for this long?
649
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,159
Oh my God, Sophia!
650
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,719
[chuckles] Who are you?
651
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,320
[Nick] "Definitely both."
652
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:38,000
"Absolutely adore a night on the town
dancing with my girls."
653
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,919
"I hope one night
I can get Ashley out with me."
654
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,399
Ashley had a really savage question today
in the savage game,
655
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,919
and I wanna know
what Nick has to think about that,
656
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,919
'cause that was rough.
657
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,560
Circle, message,
"After Ashley's question tonight,
658
00:32:52,639 --> 00:32:55,000
I know she could use reassurance
from her two best pals."
659
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,800
"How do you feel about checking in on her
and inviting her into our chat?"
660
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,399
That's a good point.
She did have to pick sides between us.
661
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,719
Let's do it. Ashley needs us.
662
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,520
"Isabella has invited you
to a group chat."
663
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Circle, take me to the group chat.
664
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,080
Circle, message, "You handled
that 'savage question' like a champ."
665
00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:21,959
"Nobody can break up the band.
Rock emoji." Send.
666
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,719
Freaking love these two.
667
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,719
Oh my God! I can't wait to see them

but I'm honestly feeling so great."

00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,080
"I've also been manifesting tomorrow
that the three of us are there together."
670
00:33:34,159 --> 00:33:37,240
"Also, I can't wait to see us
dressed all formal and shit
671
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,560
but acting like absolute goobers.
Crying laughing face."
672
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,719
Circle, message,
"I love the word goobers."
673
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,639
"Wait a damn minute… Dot, dot, dot.
Is that our band name?"
674
00:33:48,719 --> 00:33:53,520
[gasps] Our band name
is The Goobers! [whimpers]
675
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,360
Goober gang for life!
676
00:33:56,439 --> 00:33:58,800
Circle, message, "So glad we stumbled
677
00:33:58,879 --> 00:34:01,600
into that group chat together
so long ago."
678

"I've had your backs ever since,
and I don't plan on stopping." Send.
679
00:34:06,959 --> 00:34:08,600
You better not. [chuckles]
680
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:10,080
I'm counting on you.
681
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,000
Circle, message,
"Say out loud three times,
682
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,960
all caps,
'The Goobers will be at the finale.'"
683
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,600
The Goobers will be at the finale.
684
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:19,280
The Goobers will be at the finale.
685
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,080
The Goobers will be at the finale.
686
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,159
Let's go. It's done. Ooh.
687
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,880
Oh my God. The thought
of seeing the band at the final is…
688
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,000
My heart flickered.
689
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,199
I have a little bit of guilt
for being a catfish,
690
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,880
but… [exhales]
…you know, at the end of the day,
691
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,440
I didn't know
I'd get this close with people,
692
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,719
and I hope
that they don't get upset about that.
693
00:34:41,799 --> 00:34:44,120
We will do
whatever damage control we need to,
694
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:47,960
but what if one of them is a catfish?
I don't think one of them is a catfish.
695
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,760
I don't. I think both of them are real.
696
00:34:50,839 --> 00:34:53,040
I am a little nervous
as to how they're gonna react,
697
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,000
'cause I'm obsessed
with both of these people,
698
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,200
and I think Sophia gets along better
with them
699
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,680
than this fake Isabella character does.
700
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,960
[Buteau] With the final blocking
hanging over The Circle,
701
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,640
gamer Jacki is looking
to make a last-minute play
702
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:12,400
to strengthen her alliance
with James and Kai.
703
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,360
Game on.
704
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,960
[Jacki] We are in the final countdown,
705
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,360
and the last time
I talked to James and Kai,
706
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,480
we were allegedly in an alliance,
707
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,319
and I have no idea
where that stands anymore.
708
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,120
This is my last chance.
709
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,600
Like, I got to get
James and Kai to be behind me,
710
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,200
or chopping block.
711
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Like, I will fight for them,
and I need to tell them that.
712
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Like, I am behind both of you,
and I will fight for you,
713
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,080
but will you fight for me?
That's the question.
714
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,440
Circle, please open up a group chat
with James and Kai.
715
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,440
[both] "Jacki has invited you
to a group chat."
716
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,720
Hey. [chuckles] What up, Jacki?
717
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,360
Okay. It's the original squad.
718
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,680
Message, "Hey, y'all. I really wanted
to catch up with both of you."
719
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,680
"It's been a couple days
since we last spoke."
720
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,280
"How are you both feeling?" Send.
721
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:05,280
Circle, message,
722
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,280
"What up, boo? It's been a crazy few days,
but we are all surviving."
723
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,680
"Is anyone else nervous
about the blocking tonight?"
724
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,280
"Question mark, question mark.
#LetsMakeItHappen." Send. Keep it simple.
725
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,680
Just get a little… little hint
726
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,920
that I wanna still make
what we have happen.
727
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,480
That hashtag speaks volumes. It's like,
"This group has got to make it happen."
728
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Message, "Hey, Jacki.
I'm currently feeling anxious."
729
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,160
"Wide-eyed emoji."
730
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,839
"I am so glad
to be speaking to you right now."
731
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,120
"I've been touched by some of the things
you have shared with the group."
732
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,920
"I've been wanting to see
how you are feeling." And send.
733
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,200
That makes me feel a little bit better.
734
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,200
Message, "Kai, thank you."
735
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,560
"Def nervous."
736
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,240
"James, you always put a smile
on my face."
737
00:36:49,319 --> 00:36:51,839
"You've been so kind to me
since I entered The Circle."
738
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,480
"Let's make this happen.
I'm going to fight for both of you."
739
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,080
"#Fighters"?
740
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,440
"#MyHashtagGameSucks.
#WhyAreYouBetterAtHashtagsThanMe?"
741
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Okay, that's good. Circle, message…
742
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,720
"I trust everyone in this group chat
and want to see the end with you."
743
00:37:08,799 --> 00:37:09,839
[chuckles] "Period."
744
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,720
"Your hashtag game doesn't suck."
745
00:37:11,799 --> 00:37:15,480
You know, James brought Daniel
into an alliance,
746
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,160
and then that fell apart,
747
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:20,520
but I don't think
James would have said that to me
748
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,200
unless he meant it.
749
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,040
Message, "#IGotYourBackJack.
Strong arm emoji."
750
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,520
"#JamesYouAlreadyKnow.
Wink tongue out emoji." And send.
751
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,319
I feel a lot better after this.
752
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,280
Ooh, this is good. [sighs]
753
00:37:34,359 --> 00:37:36,280
Ooh, this… I'm glad
this happened before ratings.
754
00:37:36,359 --> 00:37:38,560
Oh, I was stressing out
about Jacki's ratings.
755
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,480
Message, "So happy I was able
to chat with y'all a little bit more."
756
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,400
"You're both exceptional humans.
Heart emoji."
757
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,160
"Light always defeats darkness.
Star emojis." Send.
758
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,400
It definitely seems as though
that we're all on the same page.
759
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,920
Uh, message, "This chat made me feel
way better about tonight."
760
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,040
"I'm glad we understand
it's one of them or one of us."
761
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:04,520
"#FinalFive. #WeGotThis. Heart emoji."
762
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,000
I'm really feeling good about this chat.
763
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,560
Like, I know that Kai and James and I
are all on the same page here.
764
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,480
I am, like,
literally going to protect these two.
765
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,839
Like, I'm here for them.
766
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,280
[Buteau] Gamer Jacki coming in hot
with them fightin' words.
767
00:38:21,359 --> 00:38:22,560
And as night descends,
768
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,280
the others are doing everything
to keep their heads in the game.
769
00:38:25,359 --> 00:38:27,040
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
770
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,440
-"Alert!"
-We got an alert!
771
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:29,359
"Alert."
772
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
-Oh boy!
-[James] I already know what this is.
773
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,520
"Players, you must now rate each other."
774
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,560
Oh my God. It's the last blocking!
775
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:44,040
This is the first rating
where I could potentially be blocked.
776
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,480
"Rate your fellow players
from first to fifth."
777
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,680
This is obviously
the most important rating
778
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,880
we've had so far.
779
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,520
Somebody has to go today.
780
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,240
This is the one that counts.
781
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,280
I'm, like, starting to shake
a little bit. Ah!
782
00:38:59,359 --> 00:39:01,600
It's the last blocking
I need to get through
783
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,920
to secure my spot in the finale.
784
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,640
I'm excited to go into this headstrong.
785
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,080
Let the band prevail.
786
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,520
Oh my God.
I've come so far. I've come so far.
787
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,799
I have to stay.
I have to stay, and I have to win.
788
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,600
This determines the final five.
789
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,480
I'm ready. Circle…
790
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:18,920
[both] …take me to my ratings.
791
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,200
Man, man, man!
792
00:39:25,839 --> 00:39:28,480
Circle, please put Kai in first place.
793
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,160
You bold, brilliant beauty, you.
794
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,640
I'm putting you at number one, Kai.
795
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,680
I'm here. I'm fighting for you, girl.
796
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,720
My first place position goes to James.
797
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,200
James has had unwavering loyalty to me,
798
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,760
and I believe him when he says
that he genuinely has my back.
799
00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:54,960
If Nick was an influencer,
I know he'd keep me.
800
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,960
So, for that reason,
I would want Nick to be in first place.
801
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,839
Circle, lock Ashley in first position.
802
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,920
Ashley has been my top ally
ever since the very first day here,
803
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,960
and I think our connection
has only gotten stronger.
804
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,040
In my second position,
I am going to put Jacki.
805
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,640
She made sure
to reach out to me and Kai today
806
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:27,640
to let us know
that we're still working together,
807
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:29,839
but I genuinely think she's a dope chick.
808
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,480
I really like her.
809
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,720
I'm gonna put James in third place.
810
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,400
We've had
some genuine, powerful conversations,
811
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,040
and I can't see a finale without him.
812
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,359
Lock Kai in fourth position.
813
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,640
I had a really good chat with Kai today,
where we all promised each other
814
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,400
that we would absolutely love
to be in the finale together.
815
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,560
I gotta take her word for it.
816
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:58,280
For last place, I'm gonna put Nick.
The last rating, we totally bonded,
817
00:40:58,359 --> 00:41:00,240
but since then,
818
00:41:00,319 --> 00:41:03,120
I have created closer bonds
with other people.
819
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,480
Circle, in my last position,
I am going to put Isabella.
820
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,839
I don't feel safe
if she was the influencer.
821
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,359
-Circle…
-Please, God, bless my heart.
822
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,120
-Submit…
-…my ratings.
823
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,920
Boom! "Ratings complete."
824
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:19,839
Oof!
825
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,440
[grunts]
826
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,319
[Buteau] Ratings submitted,
827
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,160
the players understandably have
a lot of nervous energy.
828
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:28,520
Ooh-wah!
829
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,359
[Buteau] If you thought
those moves were good,
830
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,440
wait till you see The Circle's next one.
831
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:35,600
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
832
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,400
We got alert, folks!
833
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:38,799
Oh!
834
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,080
Oh.
835
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,359
This is gonna be something else.
836
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,160
This is the big one.
837
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:47,080
Here goes everything,
right here on the table. [exhales]
838
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,480
The ratings are in!
839
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,600
Ah!
840
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,240
Oh my God. It's happening now?
841
00:41:55,319 --> 00:41:57,080
It's happening now?
842
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,799
My fate is gonna be in somebody's hands.
Preferably, I wish it was mine.
843
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,560
This is the defining point
of today and the finale.
844
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,799
No matter what, it's not about the rating.
It's about the influencers.
845
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,160
Here we go!
846
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,080
-What?
-What?
847
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,880
-What?
-Come again?
848
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,600
"Tonight the ratings results
will not be revealed"?
849
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:27,760
What do you mean?
850
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:30,480
[groans] Always got something.
851
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,839
Oh Lord.
852
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,560
"However, the two highest rated players…"
853
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,760
"…will become secret influencers."
854
00:42:37,839 --> 00:42:40,560
What the heck? I just got chills.
855
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,799
That's very scary
to not know who the influencers are.
856
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,000
[groans] So we're not even gonna know?
857
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,880
[chuckling] This is starting
to sound scary.
858
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,280
Oh man!
859
00:42:53,799 --> 00:42:55,880
I don't like this at all.
860
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,520
"Not even the influencers
will know the identity of each other"?
861
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,440
-That's insane.
-That makes it really tricky.
862
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,000
"Together, the secret influencers
must block one player tonight."
863
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,319
I need myself or Kai to be
at least one of those players tonight.
864
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,960
I hope Ashley or Isabella are up there.
865
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,839
-It could go any way.
-[whiny] I'm scared.
866
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,880
Oh, my heart is beating.
867
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,000
[sighs]
868
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,200
Come on.
869
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,319
Oh gosh!
870
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,240
Oh Lord!
871
00:43:29,319 --> 00:43:31,799
[exhales] My God.
I feel like I could hurl.
872
00:43:35,839 --> 00:43:37,640
Yes!
873
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,480
"You are a secret influencer." Let's go!
874
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,319
[laughs] What? Hold on, let me make sure.
875
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,319
[laughs]
876
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,799
I wonder
who the other secret influencer is.
877
00:43:47,879 --> 00:43:50,440
I'm just gonna ask them their name.
Like, "Hey, who is this?"
878
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,200
Okay, so it's not me.
879
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,359
I ain't going to the Hangout room.
880
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,799
My fate lies
in the hands of the secret influencers.
881
00:44:01,879 --> 00:44:03,520
I just hope they got me.
882
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,680
I guess now we just wait
to see who they block.
883
00:44:06,839 --> 00:44:09,520
"Please go to the Hangout
to make your decision now."
884
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,480
Shit is about to get real.
Somebody gotta make the decision, though.
885
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:15,400
[sighs]
886
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,839
-[Nick] Let's go.
-Come on.
887
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Here we go. Ooh, feels good.
888
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,640
[Buteau] Knowing
that they're in the finale,
889
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:28,440
our influencers head to the Hangout
for the last time,
890
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,359
but for the first time,
they don't have a clue who each other is.
891
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,520
Oh, it's good to be back!
Man, it's like I never left.
892
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,440
[James laughs] I told y'all.
[clicks tongue] All right.
893
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:43,560
All I know… [clicks tongue]
894
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,160
…is that I can't get blocked.
895
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,440
That's all that really matters.
896
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,640
There's two sides to The Circle.
897
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:51,960
You got myself, Kai, and Jacki,
898
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,720
and then you got
Nick, Ashley, and Isabella.
899
00:44:55,799 --> 00:44:58,839
But the goal is
to try to get one of them out
900
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,000
to better my numbers,
901
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,080
and I can't back down this time.
902
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:09,400
I've told four people
that I want to be at the finale with them.
903
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,960
I absolutely plan on sticking to my word.
904
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,160
If I had it my way, the person
that gets blocked tonight
905
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:16,799
would be Isabella.
906
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,680
[chuckles] But she might be
on the other side, so I don't know.
907
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,040
I need Ashley and Isabella in the finale,
908
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,960
because I know Ashley
and Isabella are going to rate me highly.
909
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,720
So I need those votes,
so I can't have them getting blocked.
910
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,200
Just want to know who it is.
911
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,000
Just want to know who it is.
912
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:41,400
Praying that Nick or Isabella's in there.
913
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:44,879
My wishful thinking would be that
914
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,720
Nick and James would be in
as secret influencers,
915
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,600
because I know
that they've given me their word
916
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,640
that they would have my back
and see me through to the final.
917
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,040
[Buteau] The Circle
has given Nick and James
918
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,160
super cool, supersecret influencer names.
919
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:07,720
I'm assuming I'm Player A,
'cause I'm on top. [laughs]
920
00:46:08,359 --> 00:46:11,359
[Buteau] James is Player A.
Nick is Player B.
921
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,400
Let's do it.
922
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,000
All right, here we go.
Let's get this chat popping.
923
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,240
Time to confuse Player B.
924
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,280
Uh, Circle, message,
925
00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:23,640
"Hello. Congratulations
on making it to the finals."
926
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:24,960
"This is a great opportunity."
927
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,080
"Let's get started." [laughing]
928
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,600
Oh, don't show any emotion, please.
929
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,240
I would hate to see emotion.
930
00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:35,920
Play it like a robot.
931
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,040
I want them to think
they're talking to a damn vending machine.
932
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,359
All right. Circle, message,
"Hey, this is a crazy experience."
933
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,200
"I'm happy to be here and hope
we can make a good decision together."
934
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,359
"Let's start with Nick."
935
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,120
This could've come from Isabella,
936
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,200
could've come from Ashley,
certainly could have come from Kai.
937
00:46:52,799 --> 00:46:54,960
That… that… that sounds like Nick already.
938
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,520
Circle, message,
"Nick is very loyal and honest."
939
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,040
"He is very trustworthy
940
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,960
and has demonstrated that
through his actions."
941
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,600
"What are your thoughts?"
942
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,080
Send.
943
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,839
Part of me feels like this is Nick,
944
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,839
so I… I'mma play it safe.
I… I gotta feel it out a little bit more.
945
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,319
In fact, let's just take Nick
out of this discussion. [laughs]
946
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,920
Circle, message, "Nick has been
a valuable member to The Circle."
947
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,480
"He has consistently been someone
people have enjoyed…"
948
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,600
[Nick] "…but I believe
it's all for the game."
949
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,359
Well, not that negative. I think I'm safe.
950
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:31,400
[chuckles]
951
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,359
Who's next?
952
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,879
Message, "Let's talk about Kai next."
953
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,760
"She is also a valuable member
to The Circle, but at times…"
954
00:47:39,839 --> 00:47:42,799
"…she has focused on finding
who the catfish are, which annoys me."
955
00:47:42,879 --> 00:47:45,200
Big deal. It's nothing personal.
956
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:50,120
If I come in here,
and I defend my allies tooth and nail,
957
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,120
then the other secret influencer
is going to know it's me,
958
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,760
so I gotta throw the scent the other way.
959
00:47:56,839 --> 00:47:59,799
Circle, message, "Kai has been great."
960
00:47:59,879 --> 00:48:02,520
[James] "She is very nice
and welcoming to everyone."
961
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,520
That could be anybody.
962
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,480
It could even be Kai herself.
963
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,080
I… Whew.
964
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,080
"Player A. Let's talk about James."
965
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,560
What am I gonna say about me?
966
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,080
Don't question my genuineness.
967
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,359
"He is also a valuable member
to The Circle."
968
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,839
"He seems to be highly thought of
after the results in multiple games,
969
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,480
but I question how trustworthy he is.
Thoughts?"
970
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:35,400
It's not even a con.
You're not saying he's not trustworthy.
971
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,440
See, this message about myself,
972
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,480
I usually would come in and say,
973
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,160
"Oh, James is sexy. He funny as hell."
974
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:47,040
But I'm being anonymous right now,
so I can't blow myself up too much.
975
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,200
It kind of just makes me
even more so think it's James. [laughs]
976
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,879
But, yeah,
I don't really know, to be honest.
977
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,120
Circle, message,
"James makes The Circle more enjoyable."
978
00:48:58,879 --> 00:49:02,720
"He is funny but can also have
meaningful conversations."
979
00:49:02,799 --> 00:49:04,480
[James] "I believe he is trustworthy,
980
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,040
but I don't always know
what he is thinking."
981
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,240
I don't know what that means.
982
00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:11,160
How the hell you gonna know
what somebody always thinking?
983
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,319
That's how I kept you on your toes.
984
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:14,920
All right.
985
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,560
This is where… [chuckles]
986
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,799
…I need to make sure I don't slip up.
987
00:49:21,879 --> 00:49:24,879
Circle, message,
"Let's talk about Isabella."
988
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,560
"She is very sweet
and has made my experience very pleasant."
989
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,920
"She seems to stick to her word."
990
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,240
"I do think
there is a small chance she is a catfish."
991
00:49:35,319 --> 00:49:39,160
I… I'm going to use that.
You gave me that information.
992
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,799
Is this Ashley?
993
00:49:41,879 --> 00:49:46,920
I'm just playing it by ear.
Right now, I'm going with Ashley vibes,
994
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,680
but I might switch it up. We'll see.
995
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,240
Message, "Isabella is also
a valuable member to The Circle."
996
00:49:54,319 --> 00:49:56,120
"She is very pleasant to talk to,
997
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,040
but like others, I do think
she could be a catfish as well."
998
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Send.
999
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,000
Not that negative.
1000
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,640
So far, so good, I think.
1001
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,319
Part of me thinks this could be Ashley,
1002
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,400
simply 'cause
they threw Isabella under the… the bus.
1003
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,920
So, message, "Let's talk about Ashley."
1004
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,839
"She is also a valuable member
to The Circle."
1005
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,720
"She always makes conversations
more enjoyable to be part of,
1006
00:50:18,799 --> 00:50:21,040
but she seems to have
a lot of deals with everybody."
1007
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,480
"So I question how trustworthy she is."
1008
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:24,960
"Thoughts?"
1009
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,240
I don't think, with this message,
Player B is gonna know who I am.
1010
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:32,560
I think I'm still playing it safe,
1011
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,040
but it all depends
who's behind this screen,
1012
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,160
who is typing as Player B.
1013
00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:42,080
Circle, message, "Ashley does make
The Circle more enjoyable."
1014
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:43,399
"She is funny,
1015
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,480
but she can also have
meaningful conversations."
1016
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,640
"She is honest and trustworthy." Send.
1017
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,000
This might be Ashley.
1018
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,160
I'm not saying cons about Ashley,
1019
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:58,319
because I kind of want this other person
to think they might be talking to Ashley.
1020
00:50:58,399 --> 00:51:01,600
How did Ashley get rated like this
to be up here?
1021
00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:05,760
Circle, message, "Let's talk about Jacki."
1022
00:51:05,839 --> 00:51:09,000
"She is very sweet and is always nice."
1023
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,440
[James] "However, I believe
I have a stronger connection
1024
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,680
with the other players.
What are your thoughts?"
1025
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,280
Okay, so, this person
obviously now going after Jacki too.
1026
00:51:18,799 --> 00:51:22,000
This is the most cons
that I've listed for someone.
1027
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,720
I'm also pretty confident
that I'm not talking to Jacki.
1028
00:51:25,799 --> 00:51:27,960
So hopefully, Player A realizes
1029
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:33,359
that this is the person
that I am most willing to block.
1030
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,440
I have to protect Jacki
in this message right now.
1031
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,160
Circle, message, "Jacki is also
a valuable member to The Circle."
1032
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:43,000
"In her short time, she has added
more value to the conversations
1033
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,080
than players
that have been here for longer,
1034
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,359
but she has also stepped on some toes."
1035
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,280
Send.
1036
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,240
I'm so surprised.
1037
00:51:50,319 --> 00:51:52,839
Everyone's a valuable member
to The Circle.
1038
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,120
It's time to stop playing.
1039
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,760
I'm gonna drop a bomb
on Player B right now.
1040
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,200
Message, "After processing
everything that was said,
1041
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,879
I've noticed we questioned
some players' trustworthiness."
1042
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,280
"And the one thing
we seem to agree on together
1043
00:52:05,359 --> 00:52:08,720
is we both have a small feeling
there is a catfish."
1044
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,520
No, sir. Not gonna happen.
1045
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,160
Come on.
That's the only thing we agree on.
1046
00:52:15,240 --> 00:52:18,560
If Player B goes into defending Isabella,
1047
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,680
it's gonna make me think
that it's Nick again.
1048
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,720
They're gonna try their hardest
1049
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:24,080
to…
1050
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,560
to throw back at me,
1051
00:52:27,319 --> 00:52:28,839
I'm pretty sure, Jacki.
1052
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,520
Circle, message,
1053
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,760
"I believe you are referring to Isabella."
1054
00:52:34,839 --> 00:52:37,720
"She's been there for me
when I have needed to express my emotions,
1055
00:52:37,799 --> 00:52:39,960
and I would not feel right blocking her."
1056
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,319
[James] "Whether or not
she is using an altered photo
1057
00:52:43,399 --> 00:52:46,080
does not change
the way I feel about her as a person."
1058
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,200
Okay, Nick.
1059
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,280
Okay, Nick.
1060
00:52:51,799 --> 00:52:54,760
Whether or not maybe
their photo is a little bit different
1061
00:52:54,839 --> 00:52:57,319
doesn't change the way I feel about them.
1062
00:52:57,839 --> 00:52:59,480
Message, "The only other player
1063
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,680
it sounds like
you would be willing to block is Jacki."
1064
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,839
"Is this true?
If so, please explain." Send.
1065
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,319
Dude, come on.
1066
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:13,000
I'm forcing Player B
to… to show their cards.
1067
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,520
Circle, message,
1068
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,160
"It is true that the player I would be
most comfortable blocking is Jacki."
1069
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:21,720
"Who is the player
you would be most comfortable blocking?"
1070
00:53:21,799 --> 00:53:22,640
Send.
1071
00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:24,960
I already figured that,
because this is Nick,
1072
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:28,520
and that makes me think
that he wanted Jacki from the beginning.
1073
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,720
So I'm gonna throw a little twist
at him right now.
1074
00:53:31,799 --> 00:53:35,560
Circle, message, "Let's keep Jacki
on the potential blocking list,
1075
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,560
since that's
what you are comfortable with."
1076
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,200
"But what I am most comfortable with
is blocking Ashley."
1077
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,600
"Although she has been a great player,
I have not seen any growth from her."
1078
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,040
What are you talking about?
1079
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,879
Ashley started off so shy and quiet,
1080
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,600
and then she completely opened up
as the game went on.
1081
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:51,720
You're out of your mind.
1082
00:53:51,799 --> 00:53:55,040
Now I know who he wants to block,
and now he knows who I want to block.
1083
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,879
So let's see what he has to say.
1084
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,560
It sounds like
we are between Jacki and Ashley.
1085
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,640
Circle, message, "Ashley has been
in The Circle a long time."
1086
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:07,839
"I do not believe
she would've made it this far
1087
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:09,240
without being trustworthy."
1088
00:54:09,319 --> 00:54:14,200
"I like the Ashley I know now
more than the Ashley I first met." Send.
1089
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,799
All right. Message,
"Thanks for your thoughts on Ashley."
1090
00:54:17,879 --> 00:54:20,359
"Now, I would like to discuss Jacki
and your concerns."
1091
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,640
"She has naturally not had to overcome
as much
1092
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:26,160
because of how long she's been here.
That was out of her control." Send.
1093
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:30,319
Circle, message, "Every new player
immediately makes a lot of connections."
1094
00:54:30,399 --> 00:54:33,080
"The important element
is how genuine they are,
1095
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,520
and Jacki has not had to prove this…
Dot, dot, dot." Send.
1096
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:40,480
[sighs]
1097
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:46,359
Either I'm gonna have to block someone
from my alliance, or they are.
1098
00:54:46,879 --> 00:54:48,080
I ain't even gonna lie.
1099
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,600
This is way harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
1100
00:54:54,399 --> 00:54:57,120
[Buteau] The influencers
have finally made a decision.
1101
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,720
And before the others actually chew
their nails down to their elbows…
1102
00:55:00,799 --> 00:55:02,839
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
1103
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,920
-Oh, it's an alert.
-[Sophia] Oh gosh!
1104
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:06,680
-Here goes the alert.
-[Jacki] Oh my God!
1105
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,440
-[Sophia] "Alert!"
-[Matthew] Here it goes.
1106
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,680
This is it.
This is it, the final blocking.
1107
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,200
Literally everything
we've been waiting for since day one.
1108
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,319
I could be the one to go.
1109
00:55:16,399 --> 00:55:18,280
All right. Who's getting blocked?
1110
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,040
[Matthew] "The secret influencers
have made their decision."
1111
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,160
Oh my God!
1112
00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:26,760
Oh gosh!
1113
00:55:26,839 --> 00:55:27,960
[exhales] Okay.
1114
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,000
Wasn't an easy one.
1115
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,640
We fought hard.
1116
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,120
"Now you must decide
who delivers the news."
1117
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,640
Message, "Would you allow me
to deliver this news? Question mark."
1118
00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:40,600
Send.
1119
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,160
Come on.
Just say yes, Player B, so we can get on.
1120
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:46,000
Circle, message,
1121
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:50,920
"Yes. This is very difficult,
and I appreciate that gesture." Send.
1122
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,799
I just wanted… I wanted to be the one
to deliver the news.
1123
00:55:57,879 --> 00:56:00,520
"This news will be delivered
face-to-face."
1124
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,760
Oh!
1125
00:56:04,240 --> 00:56:06,280
Fuckin' A! [laughs]
1126
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,359
"One of the secret influencers…"
1127
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,799
-"…is on their way to block a player…"
-"…face-to-face now."
1128
00:56:13,879 --> 00:56:15,080
[exhales]
1129
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,319
-I hope I don't get a knock on the door.
-Holy shit.
1130
00:56:22,399 --> 00:56:23,839
[Jacki] I'll make some tea.
1131
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,080
Oh God.
1132
00:56:34,799 --> 00:56:36,399
Aw.
1133
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,760
Hi.
1134
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:42,160
Aw. [laughs]
1135
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,920
-Nice to meet you.
-Come here. Come here.
1136
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,960
-Oh my God!
-Can I tell you I tried so hard?
1137
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,080
I know.
1138
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,000
I don't know how long we've been up.
You are really tall like you said!
1139
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,440
-I know.
-You are exactly who you said you are!
1140
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,919
-[Jacki laughs]
-Oh shit, look at this.
1141
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,640
You're real.
1142
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:00,879
-[James] Aw.
-"Blocked."
1143
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,480
-Aw.
-[James] I knew you were real.
1144
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:09,080
It's been such a crazy, amazing experience
for me, you know?
1145
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,000
Right.
1146
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,560
The connections I had with people
were just so instantaneous.
1147
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:17,600
Like, I saw your photo,
I was like, "I love him."
1148
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,720
Instantly was like,
"This is my favorite person here."
1149
00:57:20,799 --> 00:57:23,799
-As soon as you came in, I said, "Oh!'
-[Jacki laughs]
1150
00:57:24,399 --> 00:57:26,160
Hey. [laughs]
1151
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:27,960
-I got one thing to say.
-Yeah?
1152
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,799
I've been in a relationship for 12 years.
I'm sorry for…
1153
00:57:30,879 --> 00:57:33,359
-You led me on!
-Yeah.
1154
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,399
Oh my God!
1155
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,560
How rude! [laughs]
1156
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:43,120
I wanted to have your back so bad,
and it just was… it was a battle.
1157
00:57:43,799 --> 00:57:49,600
And ultimately, what we decided,
me and "profile B," was,
1158
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,279
I guess, in the spirit of The Circle,
you were limited by your time,
1159
00:57:54,359 --> 00:57:56,640
and that's what caused
the lack of connection
1160
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,319
with the other player.
1161
00:57:58,399 --> 00:58:01,440
I came into this game,
and I knew it was gonna be a challenge.
1162
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,440
-Right.
-[Jacki] And I was just like…
1163
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:08,240
My game plan was
to 100% unapologetically be Jacki…
1164
00:58:08,319 --> 00:58:09,160
Right.
1165
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,879
…and, um, just send y'all, like,
as many, like, positive, loving vibes.
1166
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,160
-Right.
-[Jacki] And, um…
1167
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:19,279
I just think I've been
so shocked and blown away at like…
1168
00:58:19,359 --> 00:58:20,799
I really feel like I know you.
1169
00:58:20,879 --> 00:58:22,640
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I'm like--
1170
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,839
I was so nervous to come in.
I was like, "Oh shit!"
1171
00:58:25,919 --> 00:58:26,839
Aw.
1172
00:58:26,919 --> 00:58:29,279
No, I don't have any hard feelings.
Like, don't even feel bad.
1173
00:58:29,359 --> 00:58:31,240
-Well, I appreciate it.
-Yeah.
1174
00:58:31,319 --> 00:58:34,359
I just want to tell you thank you.
You've been a pleasure.
1175
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,759
I… I'm not gonna lose
the value you gave to my life.
1176
00:58:37,839 --> 00:58:39,839
And I'm so glad that I've met you.
1177
00:58:39,919 --> 00:58:42,480
Thank you so much for not beating me up
when I walked in.
1178
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,759
Oh my God, I would never.
Thank you for being so kind to me.
1179
00:58:45,839 --> 00:58:48,240
-I hate that you're taller than me.
-Oh my God!
1180
00:58:48,319 --> 00:58:49,399
We're close.
1181
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:50,480
[both laugh]
1182
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,680
-Thank you, and, um, have a good one.
-Bye. [chuckles]
1183
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,319
[Buteau] It's game over for Jacki,
but the others are realizing
1184
00:58:59,399 --> 00:59:02,200
that they just got another life
for their Circle journey.
1185
00:59:02,279 --> 00:59:03,759
Oh my God. I almost threw up.
1186
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:05,680
I think I did it.
1187
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,200
No one's come to see me.
1188
00:59:08,279 --> 00:59:09,960
[laughing]
1189
00:59:11,399 --> 00:59:13,200
Mission accomplished.
1190
00:59:13,279 --> 00:59:14,879
[James sighs, groans]
1191
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,560
Man! That was nice.
1192
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,000
[Buteau] And just like that,
the final five is complete.
1193
00:59:22,359 --> 00:59:25,319
[yells] Holy shit! Yes!
1194
00:59:25,399 --> 00:59:26,520
[squeals]
1195
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,600
I am a finalist!
1196
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:29,720
Ah!
1197
00:59:29,799 --> 00:59:33,040
I did it! I'm gonna win $100,000.
1198
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,120
It is done! Let's go!
1199
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,200
Whoo!
1200
00:59:36,279 --> 00:59:38,720
Yes! Oh my God!
1201
00:59:38,799 --> 00:59:40,319
[groaning]
1202
00:59:40,399 --> 00:59:42,000
Tomorrow I get to just be me.
1203
00:59:42,919 --> 00:59:47,120
And although that's nerve-wracking,
it's gonna feel so freaking good.
1204
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:51,399
I can't put to words
how difficult this game was.
1205
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,480
[exhales] I'm in the final five.
1206
00:59:54,759 --> 00:59:55,680
Whoo!
1207
00:59:56,279 --> 00:59:58,520
I did it! I did it! [laughs]
1208
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:00,720
