1
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,399
[Buteau] The battle lines have been drawn,
2
00:00:12,479 --> 00:00:16,680
and influencers Nick and James
are about to decide who will be blocked
3
00:00:16,759 --> 00:00:19,040
and become the latest casualty
of Circle war.
4
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:21,840
If you have butter-flavored popcorn,
you better grab it now.
5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,480
It is gonna be interesting,
I tell you what.
6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,320
[Buteau] Newbie Jacki cannot be sent home,
7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,159
but everyone else is in the firing line,
as the battle of the alliances begins.
8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,879
We have definitely got a battle
on our hands.
9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Two very clear sides.
Neither of us are gonna wanna budge.
10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,199
We gonna do what I wanna do.
I promise you that, boo. [sips]
11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,600
I'm so ready. So ready.
12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,919
Let's start this.
13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Here we go.
14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Circle, message, "First off,
15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,680
huge congratulations, dude.
Great to see you here."
16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000
"Excited to figure this out
with you." Send.
17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,199
I hope me and him both
can be grown-ass men about this
18
00:01:00,279 --> 00:01:01,879
and figure out what's best for our game.
19
00:01:01,959 --> 00:01:03,640
Message, "I couldn't be happier
20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,480
that I'm doing this for the first time
with a seasoned vet."
21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,240
"Let's make this happen.
Prayer hands." Send.
22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
So far, seems friendly. [chuckles]
23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,880
We'll see how long it lasts.
24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Circle, message,
"What about Kai? Kai is my sister,
25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,360
and she's been
nothing but nice to me this entire time."
26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,440
"I have a strong connection with her
to the point
27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,640
where I can't find anything bad
about her."
28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,040
"What are your thoughts?
Question mark." Send.
29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080
Seems like
a little bit of a cop-out, James.
30
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:33,720
Circle, message,
31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
"Kai has been here since day one
and is an incredible player."
32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,800
"I respect the game she is playing
and her carefully crafted messages."
33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520
"However, I think
she is our biggest threat
34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,960
in winning this whole thing."
35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,720
"She will make big moves for herself."
36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,000
Send.
37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,640
He went in on Kai.
He was kinda polite about it,
38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,839
but he wanted to make sure
I know his goal is to get Kai out.
39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,479
It's not gonna happen.
40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,640
All right, here we go.
James, "Let's move on to Isabella."
41
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,880
[James] Message, "She seems
like a great person, but the problem is
42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,519
I have no connection with her in a game
that's about making connections."
43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,120
"She hasn't tried to start
any conversations with me
44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,920
or build a relationship, which worries me,
45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,320
because she's a mystery
this late in the game."
46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,640
This is definitely James's top target.
47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,519
'Cause I know there's no way in hell
48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,320
he's gonna allow her
to be blocked tonight,
49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,080
just like I won't allow
Kai to be blocked tonight.
50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,000
Circle, message,
51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200

to rule out is Isabella."

"She is a fantastic girl,
and once you all get to chat,
53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,280
I know she will be extremely thankful
and loyal."
54
00:02:44,799 --> 00:02:47,440
"You can definitely count on her." Send.
55
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Isabella's already ruled out.
He's not gonna let her go,
56
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,040
so I'm not gonna fight his decision
on this one.
57
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Message, "If you like Isabella,
she has to be an awesome girl,
58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,799
but in return, we have to keep Kai."
59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,720
All right, James,
I like the way you're talking.
60
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:07,640
Okay, Circle, message,

00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:11,280
"I wanna go to the end
with people that I admire,
62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,760
so let's take Isabella and Kai
out of this discussion."
63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,640
"So this just leaves us
with Ashley and Daniel… Dot, dot, dot."
64
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,200
[inhales] Whoo.
65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
This where it gets tough.
This where it gets hard.
66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,760
It's gonna come down
to who has the stronger alliance.
67
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:31,560
Circle, message, "Let's move on to Ashley.
What are you thinking?"

"We had a great conversation
about the LGBT community
71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,480
that was really important
and that I needed to hear."
72
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640
"But I have heard some bad stories
about her not being trustworthy."
73
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:50,959
All right.
74
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,000
Circle, message,
75
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:56,600
"Ashley was the first girl
I talked to on day one,
76
00:03:56,679 --> 00:04:00,679
and I was immediately impressed
by her honesty and genuine kindness."
77
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,200
"Ever since then,
78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640
she has been completely trustworthy
and has always kept her word."

Circle, message,
"It is amazing when he is on your side,
83
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,839
but he seems
to sit on the fence quite a bit."

00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880
"He has an alliance with me."
85
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,760
"It sounds like he has an alliance
with you and Kai at the moment."
86
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,200
"It is great
that he can get along with so many people,
87
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:34,160
but he is likely to jump ship, based on
the latest conversation of the day."
88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,360
"I have a much stronger connection
with Ashley,
89
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,120
and it sounds like you and her had
90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,160
a completely open, honest,
and meaningful conversation." Send.
91
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,599
It sounds like Daniel has been jumping
on whatever alliance he can.
92
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,560
I'm just trying to figure out
the implications
93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,440
that could happen from this.
94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,760
What I'm doing is basically just trying
to paint this picture
95
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,919
of him having a ton of alliances.
96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,599
Might not be true.
97
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,520
Hopefully, James was a little insecure
about where Daniel sat on the fence,
98
00:05:07,599 --> 00:05:11,720
and, by me saying this,
it'll make him reconsider.
99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,599
If Daniel is just aligning himself
with us right now
100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,360
just to make it to the next ratings,
101
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,560
he might not be the best ally.
102
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440
I do have more of a connection
with Ashley,
103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,440
but we're so late in the game,
104
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,720
the numbers matter more
than the connection.

They are great people,

[sighs]
113
00:05:53,479 --> 00:05:57,760
This is such a massive blocking.
114
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,080
He's not wrong.
115
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:04,440
Daniel's just been a number.
116
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,479
I… I didn't align myself with Daniel
because I wanted to.
117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,479
I aligned myself with Daniel
just for numbers.
118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,840
But Ashley and Kai really don't get along.
119
00:06:19,359 --> 00:06:23,880
So this decision
really could bite Kai in the ass,
120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,680
and that's what I don't want.
121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,880
I'm fighting everything in my soul
122
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080
to try to find something else
to say about Daniel, and I can't.
123

and at the end of the day,

I do have a stronger connection
with Ashley than Daniel."
127

I need something from you."

Yes!

Shit is getting real.

People are gonna be shaken.
141
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,039
[Buteau] They probably will.

Let's shake them up
a little bit more, though, first.

My heart has stopped,

I feel good that James has got my back,
160

but maybe he could only have my back
to a certain extent.

If James is typing, Ashley's going home.

00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,079
"…and I hope you understand
this isn't personal at all."
173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,280
Oh God! This is so nerve-racking.
Like, it really could be me.
174
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,720
I find it hard to believe
that if James really did not fight for me,
175
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,440
that he would be able to type,
saying, "This is why I did it."
176
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,720
This will be a true testament
of his loyalty.
177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,560
"The player we have decided to block is…"
178
00:09:30,199 --> 00:09:31,160
[exhales]
179
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,320
If I gave up on James,
I couldn't deliver that news to him.
180
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Come on, God. Come on.
181
00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:39,920
He would've said,
"Nick, you have to do it."
182
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,360
[groans]
183
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,800
"Daniel."
184
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Daniel? That's another alliance.
185
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,680
Oh my God. I did it.
186
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
I did it. I made it.
I made it. I made it. I'm still here.
187
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,320
[grunts] Ooh!
188
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,320
Yes! Come on.
189
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,880
How did Nick do that?
190
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,839
Ashley and Isabella
have to be stoked right now.
191
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,880
I hope Kai understands
that Daniel had to go.
192
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:27,400
I know, by the looks of it,
193
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,520
it doesn't sound
like this was best for her,
194
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
but I did make a truce with Nick.
195
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,560
And hopefully, I…
hopefully, he can stand by that,
196
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,760
that me and Kai will make it
to the finals.
197
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:39,760
I don't know why he didn't fight for me.
198
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,760
"Blocked."
199
00:10:42,839 --> 00:10:44,000
[sighs]
200
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,959
Daniel, I appreciate everything
you've done for me.
201
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:52,720
I hope, outside this game,
we still could be friends.
202
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,120
It doesn't make sense for his game.
203
00:10:55,199 --> 00:10:59,520
He's going to lose trust
between Kai and Jacki.
204
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,880
-[scoffs]
-And he really has, like, no one now.
205
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480
If you're saying
that Isabella is a catfish,
206
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,480
and you're not fighting
for her to be gone,
207
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,800
and you know that Ashley turned on me,
208
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,959
and you might've not been fighting
for her to be gone,
209
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,719
I'm just trying to figure out,
how does Daniel end up being gone
210
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,680
when he's done nothing but be loyal?
211
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,560
[Buteau] Daniel has become
the sixth player blocked from The Circle.
212
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920
But, Daniel, my king,
don't pack that crown up just yet.
213
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,480
Oh my word.

215
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,480
"Alert!"
216
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:33,520
What you got for us, alert?
217
00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:38,440
"You can meet one player face-to-face."
218
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Who am I going to meet?
219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,320
[gasps]
220
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,360
This is a big decision.
221
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,320
Do I want tea? Do I wanna spill the tea?
222
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,680
Do I wanna ruin people's games?
223
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,640
Hmm.
224
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,120
What am I gonna do?
225
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Ooh, that was exhausting.
Oh my gosh. [chuckling]
226
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,760
Damn! Daniel, you blacked out, bruh.
227

We got an alert, folks!
230
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,839
What more do you want from me?
231
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,079
[chuckling] It's already been
a long, long day.
232
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,800
[groans]
233
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,839
Daniel might come see me.
234
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,520
Who's Daniel gonna meet?
235
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,800
I would come see me.
236
00:12:34,719 --> 00:12:38,760
Oh God. Oh gosh. This place is a mess.
237
00:12:38,839 --> 00:12:39,680
Ow! [winces]
238
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,920
All righty.
239
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,000
Really nice apartment. Where is she?
240
00:12:55,079 --> 00:12:59,839
-Oh my God.
-Oh my God! She's a catfish.
241
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
242
00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:03,839
-No, no, no! [giggles]
-Come here. Come here.
243
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,640
Oh my God! It is so nice to meet you.
244
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:08,719
Oh my God! Please sit on the couch.
245
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,800
[Daniel] Oh my God. Wait.
246
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,079
I have stuffed animals for you
because I would be really sad too.
247
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,160
That's my big sister,
and I'm fucking gay, and I--
248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,000
I know. Hello. I'm Sophia.
249
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:22,160
I am obsessed with Sophia.
250
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,520
I am so, so, so obsessed!
251
00:13:24,599 --> 00:13:26,760
-[Sophia] Isabella's my older sister.
-Okay.
252
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:27,920
I chose to be my sister
253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,599
'cause, like, she's just always been
the most stunning, beautiful, like…
254
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,880
I was always the ugly duckling.
She was always the most, like, beautiful.
255
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:37,400
Everybody, like, sees her
and just looks at her and is like,
256
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,040
"Wow! You're gorgeous," you know?
257
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,320
I know if I play straight,
and I play this, like, hot blonde,
258
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,640
I can get the people
that I wouldn't if I play me.
259
00:13:44,719 --> 00:13:47,160
-You can get the Nick. Period.
-I can get the Nick.
260
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,360
-And it's worked so far.
-Yes, ma'am.
261
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,320
[Sophia] So, I don't know how, so…
262
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,640
It's been really hard for me.
263
00:13:52,719 --> 00:13:54,520
It's been really cringey
'cause I'm really gay.
264
00:13:54,599 --> 00:13:57,400
That's my beautiful girlfriend.
Three years. Love her so much. Yeah!
265
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,959
[Daniel] Oh my God! My heart right now.
I am obsessed. I can't. Love her.
266
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,040
This is my lucky vest.
I've had it every time I've done anything.
267
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,680
-[Daniel] Oh my God.
-Yeah, so…
268
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440
Okay, okay, so, I'm gonna give you my tea,
person by person.
269
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,520
Ashley, I feel like,
just watch out for her,
270
00:14:12,599 --> 00:14:14,880
'cause I feel like
she is going to tank you.
271
00:14:14,959 --> 00:14:17,560
Let me give you some tea about James
'cause James--
272
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440
-I know nothing, but he hates me.
-[Daniel] Okay.
273
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,719
He was like,
"Isabella, clearly a catfish."
274
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,160
He said Ashley flips her game
right and left, right and left.
275
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,079
-What the heck?
-[Daniel] We had our alliance.
276
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,880
We had Viva La Revolution. I feel like--
277
00:14:28,959 --> 00:14:31,040
-Cute. I love that name.
-I know, right? I try my best.
278
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,160
-[Sophia] No, that's good.
-But look where it got me.
279
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,120
-[Sophia] Yeah!
-Literally, look where it got me.
280
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:37,680
But James and Nick
are the fakest bitches in here.
281
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,599
Rate freaking-- Nick is a huge threat.
282
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,920
-Rate him fucking last.
-Yeah.
283
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,280
Try to take down the guys,
'cause for some--
284
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,400
-James should've kept me safe.
-[Sophia] Yeah.
285
00:14:45,479 --> 00:14:47,439
-And he didn't, so again--
-That was wild.
286
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,199
James wants you gone.
James said today, James was like,
287
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,160
"Isabella's my number one target.
I need her gone." I know.
288
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,319
But what I'm gonna try to do is,
in my goodbye message, to be like,
289
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,479
"Some of y'all people
who think are catfishes, like…"
290
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,000
I'm gonna make people believe
you are real too. I'm going to do it.
291
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:03,800
You're the friggin' best, Daniel.
292
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920
-Again, you've done so good this game.
-[sighs shakily] I feel like I'm trying.
293
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,199
Here's the thing.
You are gonna get to the end.
294
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,719
-You can do it. You've made it this far.
-I got it. I can do it!
295
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,800
-I love you. I'll give you one last hug.
-I'm so happy you came to see me.
296
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,959
I can't wait for us to meet up as friends.
297
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,839
-This made my day. I know, after this--
-Same!
298
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,439
Do it. Do it for your family.
Do what you gotta do.
299
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800
-All right! I got this.
-I love you, babes. Take it to the end.

00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,000
Wow! I need to write this down. [chuckles]
305
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,079
[Buteau] Daniel may not have learned
how to cook in The Circle,
306
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,560
but he came in
already knowing how to stir the pot,
307
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,199
and after mixing it for the last time,
the other players need to get some rest.
308
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,959
I thought the other days was tiring.
This one was mentally stressful.
309

[sighs]
310
00:15:53,599 --> 00:15:58,560
This whole, like, choosing sides thing
and numbers thing that we did today,
311
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,479
I really hope it could resolve tomorrow,
and the waters can settle.
312
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,359
And hopefully, we can all just have
that baseline agreement like,
313
00:16:05,439 --> 00:16:07,599
"Guys, now that we're here,
314
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,079
let's maybe enjoy the next…
[chuckles] …the next little bit."

I am grateful that I… I am staying,

but I just wish I had more alliances
that I could trust in The Circle.
330

And it… it was important
for me to lose that battle
336
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,640
to give me and her a better chance
to potentially win the war.
337
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,800
'Cause we still have numbers.
We just gotta make sure Jacki is with us.
338
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,399
I gotta do
some, like, damage control here. Like…
339
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,640
Oh Lord, have mercy!
340
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,399
[Buteau] The Lord may have mercy,
but I'm not so sure about Daniel.
341
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,480
[sizzling]
342
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,480
[Sophia gasps]
343
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,640
[groaning]
344
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Sookie, sookie now!
345
00:17:41,399 --> 00:17:44,399
[all] "The Newsfeed has been updated."
346
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,560
I know what this is.
This is my boy Daniel.
347
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,800
I was about to do some cosplay, Circle,
but I guess that will have to wait.
348
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,000
-[all] Circle…
-…take me to your Newsfeed.
349
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,240
-Ah!
-There it is.
350
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
-"Daniel has left a message…"
-"…for The Circle."
351
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,320
[groaning]
352
00:18:03,399 --> 00:18:06,480
Daniel, you better have kept your word
and made me sound good, boy,
353
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,640
'cause if you come on here
saying you saw a catfish,
354
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,480
I'm gonna be real mad.
355
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,360
I wonder, in his video, if he's gonna drop
a little bomb or a little dig at me.
356
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,159
I would 'cause I'm petty like that.
357
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,360
All right, let's take a watch of this.
358
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,560
Circle, play Daniel's message.
359
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,960
Hey, y'all, it's Daniel,
360
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,800
and I'm 100% real.
361
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,880
I knew it.
362
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,760
I'm 100% that bad bitch,
and I meant what I said to most of y'all.
363
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,640
[chuckling]
364
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,960
I am so gutted to be leaving
this late towards the game,
365
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,000
but if y'all can take anything
from my blocking,
366
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,360
it just shows
that not everything is as it seems.
367
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,200
It's very telling that some people said
they have my back and didn't.
368
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,679
And I think it's gonna cost them the game.
369
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,000
I mean, why bring someone into an alliance
when you're gonna get rid of 'em?
370
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,960
Ooh, I'd hate to be James today.
371
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,840
I just wanna wish y'all the best of luck
for the rest of this game.
372
00:19:04,919 --> 00:19:07,640
I'll be rooting for the ones
that I know are real now.
373
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,640
[laughs]
374
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,919
He said I was real.
375
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,040
And for ones that are fake,
376
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,880
ooh, you'll be getting what you deserve.
377
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,760
See y'all soon! [chuckles]
378
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,320
[screams, laughs]
379
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,120
He got a little too much sass,
380
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,760
so I don't think he'll be cool with me
outside this game.
381
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,919
You know what? I love Daniel.
And you know what's even crazier?
382
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Is that every single person
who has been in an alliance with me,
383
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:41,880
from Calvin to Ruksana to Daniel,
has been 100% authentic.
384
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,120
Whoo! Real recognize real.
385
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,480
This is going to help me tremendously.
386
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,840
He called out James.
387
00:19:48,919 --> 00:19:52,480
He said that he knows
the people are real now,
388
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,600
and that's who he's rooting for.
389
00:19:54,679 --> 00:19:57,080
That's me. [laughing]
390
00:19:57,159 --> 00:19:58,600
Hmm. [clicks tongue]
391
00:19:58,679 --> 00:19:59,760
Lot to think about.
392
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,640
[chuckles]
393
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720
Wow.
394
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,720
So shots were definitely fired there.
395
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Whoo! It's about to be tough.
396
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,320
It's gonna get brutal.
397
00:20:10,399 --> 00:20:13,480
James is shaking in his boots.
398
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,960
[laughing] James is shaking in his boots.
399
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,640
[Buteau] Boots? He barely got on drawers.
400
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
I got a lot of blood
on my hands yesterday.
401
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,240
I have some real, real things
I need to say, and…
402
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,840
I gotta talk to everybody. Damn!
403
00:20:26,919 --> 00:20:29,159
[chuckles] Sassy-ass Daniel.
404
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,240
I don't know what James was thinking
sending Daniel home.
405
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,840
He ain't here to make friends apparently.
406
00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:38,399
James is playing this game
407
00:20:39,399 --> 00:20:40,240
to win.
408
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,840
I cannot wait to tell everybody
409
00:20:42,919 --> 00:20:45,480
that I am the person
that Daniel came to see.
410
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,640
-So, Circle, take me to Circle Chat.
-[both] Circle, take me to Circle Chat.
411
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Whoo! This is too much.
I'm gonna need to sit down for this one.
412
00:20:55,120 --> 00:21:01,919
Message, "Baby Daniel! Exclamation point.
Exclamation point. Exclamation point."
413
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,440
"Covering the eye emoji."
414
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,679
"I know I'm new here,
415
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,360
but I felt fiercely protective
of this sweet, little 20-year-old."
416
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,800
"I'm so sad he's gone. Heartbreak emoji."
417
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,800
Send.
418
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,399
Message, "Hey, Circle fam.
Daniel was such a ball of light."
419
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,240
"Light bulb emoji."
420
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,080
"I will definitely miss
his positive energy,
421
00:21:21,159 --> 00:21:23,240
but I am so glad
I'm still here with you guys."
422
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,919
[James] I would like to come in and joke,
but I… I really can't right now,
423
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
'cause the damage is done already.
424
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,640
I gotta get to repairing.
425
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:35,240
My day is… is… is about repairing
the relationships
426
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,760
that I might have broken.
427
00:21:39,399 --> 00:21:45,040
James verbatim saying that,
"Hey, y'all are my priorities,"
428
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:48,040
it made us feel safe
and that he would have our back
429
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,880
if he had an opportunity
to become influencer.
430
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,560
And I guess
we might've played into his hand,
431
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,840
because Daniel got blocked in the process.
432
00:21:55,919 --> 00:21:58,640
Circle, message,
"Daniel is the little homie."
433
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,000
"This was probably
the most difficult blocking yet,
434
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,600
and it literally broke my heart."
435
00:22:02,679 --> 00:22:04,760
"I hope you guys join me
and raise a drink to Daniel."
436
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,840
And use the… the drinking glass emoji.
Yeah, perfect. Send.
437
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,200
All y'all fake. All y'all fake. [chuckles]
438
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Nobody was really there for Daniel.
439
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,439
James, you gave him your word, buddy.
440
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,360
Circle, message, "Last night was tough."
441
00:22:20,439 --> 00:22:23,399
"James and I had
long, heartfelt discussions,
442
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:24,320
and it was clear
443
00:22:24,399 --> 00:22:27,000
that we both feel very strongly
about all of you."
444
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,600
"I'm sure we'll all miss
Daniel's hilarious jokes,
445
00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:34,640
but on a positive note, I am super excited
to be here with all of you. Heart emoji."
446
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,560
Send.
447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,560
They must feel very strongly
about everybody that is still left,
448
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,800
so that does count for something.
449
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,520
Is nobody gonna ask?
450
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,720
Circle, message,
451
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,120
"I'm sitting here wondering
who Daniel visited
452
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,960
because… #ItWasntMe." Send.
453
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,679
Well, Nick, I'm so glad you asked.
454
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,399
So, if Daniel didn't go see Nick,
I wonder, did Daniel go see James?
455
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,320
Daniel obviously visited Kai.
456
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,439
Circle, message,
457
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,960
"I had my pride flag ready
and everything."

Circle, message,

with the biggest frown on his face,
but after chocolate milk,
462
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,800
a cozy chat on the couch,
and the biggest hugs I could…"
463
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,679
"…give, he left
as the same bubbly, goofy Daniel
464
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,159
we know him to be." Oh sh…
465
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,159
But he went to go see Isabella.
466
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,320
That is, um…
467
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:29,159
That is interesting.
468
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,880
Why did he visit Isabella?
469
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,640
It must've been to see if she's a catfish.
470
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,240
Interesting.
471
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,480
[in singsong] Ooh, ooh.
Who's a catfish now-ow-ow-ow?
472
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560
[Buteau in singsong] Uh, you-oo-oo-oo.
473
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,000
I think that he didn't want
to see Kai or James, you know?
474
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,640
And I think that my ass
is definitely on the f… line now.
475
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,840
This is actually a positive for me
that he went to go see Isabella,
476
00:23:55,919 --> 00:23:58,679
simply because I'm already low
in Isabella's ratings.
477
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,080
I'm already low.
So, if Daniel went to go see Isabella,
478
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:04,960
and they talked mess about me
and had all this,
479
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Isabella can't put me
no lower than last already,
480
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,640
like she probably has been.
481
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,399
I thought Daniel went to go see Kai
to throw salt on my name.
482
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,679
Circle, message,
483
00:24:16,399 --> 00:24:19,600

Question mark. Tongue face." Send.
485
00:24:24,439 --> 00:24:28,040
Actually, that would be kind of dope
to see something different.
486
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:30,919
[chuckles] I pretty much
only know these people
487
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,480

00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,600
Circle, open the picture
of me in the reindeer onesie.
491
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:46,560
[chuckles] I love that.
I want people to laugh.

[laughing]
493
00:24:49,919 --> 00:24:52,720
Ah! Okay,
she looks like she's a lot of fun,
494
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,399
super silly, super goofy.

Okay, Circle, I'd like to pick this photo.
500
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,360
I am obsessed with that kitten.
501
00:25:10,439 --> 00:25:11,840
I miss my cats.

Oh, this is a good picture of Kai.
Oh, look at her.
504
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,520
She happy and smiling and laughing.
505
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Look at her.
Look at that body-ody-ody for days.
506
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,919
I really like this picture.
I just look like I'm having a blast.
507
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,240
Circle, let's take a look
at that skateboard photo.
508
00:25:30,919 --> 00:25:31,760
I love it.
509
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:33,880
There's my Daddy Nick.
510
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,240
I can't believe
I've kept this fake relationship up
511
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,840
with Nick for as long as I have.
512
00:25:37,919 --> 00:25:40,439
[Buteau] Wait till you have to go
skateboarding with him.
513
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,000
Oh my God! He's so beautiful.
I freaking love this man.
514
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,280
Go to the one with my grandmother
in the top right corner.
515
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,320
Okay, James, I love it.
516
00:25:50,399 --> 00:25:52,080
Cute.
517
00:25:52,159 --> 00:25:55,120
I love seeing
that James has a personality.
518
00:25:55,199 --> 00:25:57,360
This photo makes me personally happy,
519
00:25:57,439 --> 00:26:00,800
and also I think people need
to see a… a more emotional side of me.
520
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080
I think he realized
he needed to do something today.
521
00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:07,280
Ugh, I love… [laughs]
…James with all my heart.
522
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Circle, please open the top right picture.
I think this is fun.
523
00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:15,199
Oh, that's iconic.
524
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,080
I was gonna say something inappropriate.
I'll be like, "She got crabs."
525
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:20,360
But those are lobsters,
so that would've been rude.
526
00:26:20,439 --> 00:26:22,840
[Nick] I mean, she looks bad.
527
00:26:22,919 --> 00:26:26,880
She's definitely showing a spicier vibe
with this photo. [chuckles]
528
00:26:27,399 --> 00:26:29,560
All right, Circle,
I gotta stop looking at it.
529
00:26:30,399 --> 00:26:31,560
Close the photo.
530
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Circle, message,
531
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,360
"Between Kai and Isabella,
532
00:26:35,439 --> 00:26:39,439
I'm going to need a boob job,
an ass job, and highlights,
533
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720
all caps, immediately."
534
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,720
"Also, James,
your smile is one in a million, baby."
535
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,000
[laughing]
536
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600
Really adorable seeing
that other side of all the players.
537
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:53,720
Finally, we can put game play aside.
538
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,720
I loved it.
539
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,560
[Buteau] As Daniel's leaving sinks in,
540
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,560
the players are finding comfort
in a variety of ways,
541
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,520
eating,
542
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,960
reading,
543
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:05,960
cooking,
544
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,080
eating while cooking,
545
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:11,800
and for Ashley,
tending to her gorgeous beard.
546
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,080
Ow. Ow!
547
00:27:15,199 --> 00:27:16,240
Ow!
548
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,240
[Buteau] As for James,
the blocking gives him food for thought.
549
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,560
And he's decided to check in
on his number one Kai.
550
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,880
I need to make sure
me and Kai are still good.
551
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,600
I know she was affected
by my decision yesterday.
552
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:31,120
I need her to understand
that she's always been my number one.
553
00:27:31,199 --> 00:27:33,320
We only got each other right now.
554
00:27:33,399 --> 00:27:37,040
So, Circle, can you open up
a private chat with Kai, please?
555
00:27:38,399 --> 00:27:41,439
[Kai] James has invited me
to a private chat.
556
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,560
I had a feeling
he was gonna wanna explain himself,
557
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280
so I'm definitely here to hear him out.
558
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:50,919
But I don't know if I trust him 100%.
I just really don't know what to believe,
559
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,399
'cause I put my total faith in James
that he would save our alliance.
560
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,760
This could go either way.
561
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,360
Circle, message, "Hey, Kai.
I hope you're feeling okay this morning."
562
00:28:00,439 --> 00:28:03,600
"I know you have a lot of questions,
and I can give you a lot of answers."
563
00:28:03,679 --> 00:28:07,240
"But I want to explain to you
why I made the decision that I did…"
564
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,919
"Dot, dot, dot." Send.
565
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,600
Okay, James, I'm listening.
566
00:28:11,679 --> 00:28:13,600
I'm looking at James a little side-eyed,
567
00:28:13,679 --> 00:28:16,040
but maybe he can clear
some things up for me.
568
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:20,000
Circle, message, "My intentions weren't
to go in there and block Daniel,
569
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,760
but my connection with Daniel
isn't as strong as what I have with you."
570
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,720
"So I sacrificed this battle
571
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,919
to give us a better chance
to win the war."
572
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,720
[sighs deeply]
"I really do hope you understand that."
573
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,840
[Kai] "It was a tough decision
but one unfortunately that I had to make."
574
00:28:34,919 --> 00:28:36,080
That's totally honest.
575
00:28:36,159 --> 00:28:42,240
I can't say that I love honesty
and not love it just because it hurts.
576
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,800
I understand where James is coming from.
577
00:28:44,879 --> 00:28:46,000
Maybe I assumed
578
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,959
that James had
a really close connection with Daniel, um,
579
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,760
because of how highly he talked about him,
580
00:28:53,439 --> 00:28:55,399
but maybe I guess I just didn't know.
581
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,399
It sucked letting Daniel go
because I had a mental connection with him
582
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,439
that we're on the same team.
583
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,480
But I think getting rid of Ashley
would have hurt so much more last night
584
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,199
because of the connection we had
and that deep conversation.
585
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,639
That's my two… my two groups
that I… that I care deeply about,
586
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,840
Black women and the LGBT community
'cause of my trans brother.
587
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,679
Circle, message, "When I came
into The Circle and saw your profile,
588
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,840
I saw my grandmother,
I saw my mother, I saw my nieces…"
589
00:29:23,919 --> 00:29:25,399
[Kai] "…a proud Black woman."
590
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,879
"For that reason,
you were always my number one,
591
00:29:27,959 --> 00:29:29,520
and you will remain that."
592
00:29:33,919 --> 00:29:35,760
We gotta work together.
593
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,399
We have to.
594
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,480
He has my 100% respect.
595
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,240
The fact that he says that he will remain
to keep me as his number one
596
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,240
really makes me think
that he will continue being loyal to me.
597
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,159
Message, "I will be honest and say
598
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,679
that I didn't really know after yesterday
what your true intentions were."
599
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,000
"But now I certainly do."
600
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,280
I… I believe that. I really believe that,
and I felt bad yesterday.
601
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,439
That's why
this conversation was so important,
602
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,879
because she probably thinks
I took a shot at her.
603
00:30:05,959 --> 00:30:09,439
Message, "In my eyes,
you are truly authentic
604
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,720
and someone that I will definitely trust
until we reach the end."
605
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,919
"#MelaninMagic."
[chuckles] And, "#ThankYou."
606
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,919
That last message, it makes me happy.
607
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,080
And I want her to get something
out of this game-wise as well.
608
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,760
Um, like I said,
I'mma live or die on this hill,
609
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,560
and I trust… I trust Kai with my game.
610
00:30:25,639 --> 00:30:29,399
Circle, message, "I'm so glad
we got to have this conversation
611
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,000
because I think it's important,
and I'm excited what is to come for us."
612
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,399
[Kai] "But be careful."
613
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,360
"#NickWantedYouGone."
614
00:30:36,439 --> 00:30:40,320
"#IPutMyFootDown. #KeepThatBetweenUs."
615
00:30:40,399 --> 00:30:41,879
Well,
616
00:30:42,919 --> 00:30:44,919
I'm glad we had that conversation too,
617
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,320
but that little tidbit is definitely…
that's definitely a big deal.
618
00:30:50,399 --> 00:30:52,360
[James] Nick was pushing for her,
and that's true.
619
00:30:52,439 --> 00:30:55,679
He… he went harder on her
than he did Daniel,
620
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,120
but I put my foot down.
621
00:30:57,679 --> 00:30:59,679
And I want her to keep that between us
622
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,199
'cause that's information
we could use against them.
623
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,639
Okay, Circle, message, "Let's talk soon
and get our master plan together."
624
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,560
"We have to move smart
so we can make this happen."
625
00:31:08,639 --> 00:31:10,439
"Much love. Heart emoji."
626
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,919
Circle, close this chat.
627
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,760
That was a good conversation.
628
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,000
So we got Kai.
629
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,679
Literally, that was a bombshell, like…
The whole time, I was wondering, like,
630
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,600
"Did Nick save me that one time
631
00:31:26,679 --> 00:31:29,879
just to make it seem
as though that he was loyal to me?"
632
00:31:29,959 --> 00:31:33,760
But now I know for a fact
that Nick wants me gone.
633
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,800
This is probably the best connection
634
00:31:35,879 --> 00:31:39,439
that I've had
the whole time that I've been here.
635
00:31:39,959 --> 00:31:43,040
[Buteau] He hasn't even finished his eggs,
but James is already scrambling
636
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,560
to make things happen today.
637
00:31:44,639 --> 00:31:46,560
Meanwhile, the band is back together,
638
00:31:46,639 --> 00:31:49,639
and Isabella,
grateful for being spared a blocking,
639
00:31:49,719 --> 00:31:52,240
has some kind words
for her front man Nick.
640
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,639
Nick came through, and he saved
not just me but me and Ashley.
641
00:31:56,719 --> 00:32:00,959
And I don't know how he did it,
but I want to thank Nick for everything.
642
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,919
However, I need to make sure
that what I say is all good,
643
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,600
because Daniel gave me
a lot of tea last night.
644
00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:15,320
However, I feel like I have so much power
and so much knowledge and information
645
00:32:15,399 --> 00:32:17,120
that in the end game,
646
00:32:17,199 --> 00:32:20,360
it would be so much more beneficial
if I kept it all to myself
647
00:32:20,439 --> 00:32:23,719
and use the knowledge I have
to get me towards the top.
648
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,480
Circle, message,
"Nick, you freaking did it!"
649
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,600
"I knew you'd find a way
to pull through for the band,
650
00:32:29,679 --> 00:32:34,159
and I'm so excited we're all still here.
#TheBandLivesOn." Send.
651
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Yeah, darn right I did it.
652
00:32:36,639 --> 00:32:39,080
I went to war for you girls.
653
00:32:39,159 --> 00:32:41,760
It was brutal. I was exhausted.
654
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,240
Circle, message…
655
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,719
"Daddy Nick… [chuckles]
…you came through last night."
656
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,879
"Thank you. #LoveYouGuys. #BandForever."
657
00:32:49,959 --> 00:32:53,879
Message, "Absolutely stoked
that I was able to save both of you."
658
00:32:53,959 --> 00:32:56,040
"I know you two
are the reason I was an influencer,
659
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,600
so it was the least I could do."
660
00:32:57,679 --> 00:33:02,480
"Not gonna lie. It was exhausting, but…
#WorldTourContinues."
661
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,840
[excitedly] Yes! We did it!
662
00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:09,800
This whole journey,
I have been right at Nick's side.
663
00:33:09,879 --> 00:33:11,080
He's carried me through.
664
00:33:11,159 --> 00:33:13,879
I've saved him
when I had the opportunity to.
665
00:33:13,959 --> 00:33:15,760
Um, he's been my right-hand guy.
666
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,919
However, sweet Nick, I will win.
667
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,639
I… Thank you for all you've done for me.
Truly, thank you.
668
00:33:22,719 --> 00:33:25,840
[Buteau] For someone who was called out
as a catfish and then nearly blocked,
669
00:33:25,919 --> 00:33:27,280
Isabella is confident.
670
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:31,520
And as evening arrives,
671
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,360
the players are enjoying
some of their last moments of solitude.
672
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Oh no. We gotta work on my left hand.
673
00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:43,919

-[musical notes playing]
676
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:50,000
I'm into that. That little riff…
677
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,399
[chuckles] …like, I'm onto something
really good there.
678
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,800
[musical notes playing]
679
00:33:53,879 --> 00:33:55,760
[Buteau] And as dope as that riff was,
680
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,679
The Circle has another way
of commemorating the players' time here.
681
00:34:01,879 --> 00:34:04,199
[all] "Circle Yearbook."
682
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,959
What is this? Bring it.
683
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,159
Oh, this is gonna be fun!
684
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,159
[Buteau] Circle Yearbook highlights
the moments and memories
685
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,480
our players have shared together
over the year.
686
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,679
-And by "year," I mean two weeks.
-Hmm.
687
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,639
"Most Likely To…" I love superlatives.
688
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,679
In my yearbook,
I won Most… [in accent] …Dramatic.
689
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,760
In high school,
I actually was voted Most Athletic.
690
00:34:26,839 --> 00:34:29,120
I won Most Likely
to Be Social-Media Famous.
691
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:31,639
I was actually, uh, Most Popular.
692
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,799
I never got any sort
of Most Likely To award, though.
693
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,199
But now's my chance.
Now's my time to shine.
694
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,639
[Buteau] Players can vote
once in each category
695
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:41,920
but not for themselves.
696
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,440
First category up is a big one,
Class Hottie.
697
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,000
It's a bunch of hotties
in The Circle right now,
698
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,400
but who's the most deserving of it?
699
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,319
This belongs to Isabella.
Class Hottie for sure.
700
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,880
[chuckling] Obviously putting Isabella.
701
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,799
No-brainer.
702
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,920
I would like to make Class Hottie
my sweet boyfriend Nick. [shudders]
703
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,240
I think Isabella undoubtedly wins,
for me, Class Hottie.
704
00:35:07,319 --> 00:35:11,520
So, I'm definitely going to have to go
with Jacki to be the Class Hottie.
705
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,360
Jacki for Class Hottie.
706
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,640
[Buteau] When they voted, the results
are uploaded into The Circle Yearbook.
707
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,240
[gasps] Oh my God. Oh my God.
Who is going to be Class Hottie?
708
00:35:20,319 --> 00:35:22,000
Class Hottie is…
709
00:35:23,839 --> 00:35:25,760
Oh, I did it!
710
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:27,120
Oh!
711
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,880
♪ It's me-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee ♪
712
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,560
♪ I'm the Class Hottie-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee ♪
713
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,240
No surprise. We all knew it. Congrats.
714
00:35:36,319 --> 00:35:37,600
You deserve it.
715
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,080
Lay back on that couch feeling sexy
as shit, girl, 'cause you are.
716
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,799
Ah, I'm blushing, and it's not even me.
717
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,960
[laughs]
718
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,480
It's literally not even a picture of me,
and I'm like, "Guys, stop."
719
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,760
Don't get me wrong,
720
00:35:49,839 --> 00:35:52,360
whoever this lady is, she popping.
721
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,000
But I thought we was all in a group,
and we thought Isabella was a catfish.
722
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,640
I got runner-up, right?
723
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,839
All right, next up.
724
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,440
[Buteau] Anything you say, bro.
Next up is Class Clown.
725
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,600
I can't vote for myself.
726
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,120
I know damn well I should get Class Clown.
727
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,240
Definitely not Isabella, Kai, or Jacki.
728
00:36:09,319 --> 00:36:11,960
They're darling girls,
but they're not that funny.
729
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,480
James, Nick, and Ashley
are all borderline comedians.
730
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,240
[Buteau] Professional comedian James
will be thrilled
731
00:36:20,319 --> 00:36:22,799
at that "borderline comedian" comment.
732
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,360
I'm pretty sure I've laughed out loud
at more of Ashley's messages than James's.
733
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,360
So, Circle, lock in Ashley
as the Class Clown.
734
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,600
I think I'm gonna give Class Clown
to my man James.
735
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,480
No question. James.
736
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,960
I'm going with Ashley.
737
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,280
James. James. James.
738
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,240
Submit.
739
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,600
I'm probably gonna have
to give this Class Clown to Nick.
740
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,720
And if I don't get it,
741
00:36:49,799 --> 00:36:53,200
I know everybody's working strategically
against me on this one.
742
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,839
And Class Clown goes to…
743
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,000
Ah, I knew it. Come on.
Y'all better have said that, boo.
744
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,880
I would've been on all your asses,
I promise you that.
745
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,280
Congratulations, James.
746
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,920
We love you, James. You're awesome.
747
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,120
It would be really embarrassing for him
if he didn't get this,
748
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,080
being it is, like, his job title.
[chuckles]
749
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,280
I told you I was funny,
and you say I ain't funny.
750
00:37:20,359 --> 00:37:21,680
But they… they think that.
751
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,040
[Buteau] They think you're a clown.
Subtle difference.
752
00:37:24,799 --> 00:37:27,520
Okay, enough joking.
Let's get to the serious stuff,
753
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,120
Circle Most Valuable Player.
754
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,520
Huh…
755
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,960
It's either Kai or Nick.
756
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,359
I definitely wish that other players
would see me in this light,
757
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,839
as the Most Valuable Player.
758
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Ugh, it's too bad
I can't put myself for this one. [laughs]
759
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,480
Actually, do I wanna be labeled
as The Circle MVP? I'm not even sure.
760
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600
I feel like this one
puts a big target on you.
761
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,000
I feel like it's Nick.
762
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,480
Do I wanna put that target on his back,
you know?
763
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,720
If I put Nick as The Circle MVP,
764
00:37:53,799 --> 00:37:55,600
the next ratings are super important,
765
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,720
and they might look at that like,
"Oh, we can't have him winning that."
766
00:37:59,359 --> 00:38:02,440
-Mmm.
-Circle MVP.
767
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,319
It is James, obvi.
768
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,120
I'm going for James.
769
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,200
For me, it's Daddy Nick.
770
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,400
Circle, I would like to pick Nick
as The Circle MVP.
771
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,600
Put James as The Circle MVP.
772
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,640
He's not my most valuable player. Kai is.
773
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,120
But I want Nick to get this
to put a target on his back even higher.
774
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,080
-Ooh…
-[mimics drum roll]
775
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,359
…is…
776
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,760
-Oh!
-Oh! [laughs]
777
00:38:31,839 --> 00:38:33,680
Well, they got me on top, Nick, okay?
778
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,000
It ain't the alphabetical order thing.
Don't think it is.
779
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,680
It does feel good to be an MVP.
780
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,880
I'm glad that
it wasn't just me on the page.
781
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,760
I'm glad I could share
the title with James.
782
00:38:42,839 --> 00:38:45,560
They're both great competitors,
and they're both great people.
783
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,480
Like, I really can't say anything bad
about either of them.
784
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,240
You guys both deserve it,
and I 100% agree.
785
00:38:51,319 --> 00:38:55,359
Funny enough,
these were our influencers last night.
786
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,680
People really be sucking up,
'cause they don't wanna go home.
787
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,240
"As a reward
for filling out your yearbook…"
788
00:39:03,319 --> 00:39:04,960
"…you will be attending The…"
789
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,400
"…Circle prom later tonight!"
790
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,480
That sounds like fun. Okay.
791
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,319
Are we bringing dates or what?
792
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,080
Yeah, I think I'm ready for some prom.
793
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,799
This sounds so fun. I cannot wait.
794
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,080
Freaking awesome! Do I get to wear a tux?
795
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,760
I love prom!
796
00:39:22,839 --> 00:39:26,640
I love prom! [echoes]
797
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,200
[Buteau] The Circle Yearbook
has been completed,
798
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,160
but we missed a couple of categories.
799
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,720
Twenty-four! Forty-five!
800
00:39:34,799 --> 00:39:36,200
Hut! Hut! Hut!
801
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,400
[Buteau] Most Likely
to Play Football with a Wall.
802
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,400
Most Likely to Exercise with a Watermelon.
803
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,240
And wanting to reminisce,
804
00:39:46,319 --> 00:39:49,000
Ashley's Most Likely
to Start a Chat with Kai.
805
00:39:49,799 --> 00:39:51,680
I wanna talk to Kai because,
806
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,560
although I made that bold choice
807
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,200
of saying what I said
when I called her my rival,
808
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,520
Kai and I were close
in the beginning of this game.
809
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,400
So I really wanna rehash things,
810
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,000
and hopefully,
it'll instill some trust back in her,
811
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,000
and, um, she could just see me
a little bit differently.
812
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,520
'Cause I know that that comment
probably hurt her the other day.
813
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,520
Circle, please invite Kai to a chat.
814
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,440
[Kai] Ashley has invited me
to a private chat.
815
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,520
That's crazy.
The last time I heard from her,
816
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:26,080
she was just saying how I was more focused
on looking for catfish
817
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,880
than building connections,
and she seemed to kind of gloat about it.
818
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Circle, message, "Hey, Kai,
819
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,160
I've been dying to talk to you
since that silly game."
820
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,080
"Not only
because you deserve an explanation
821
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,200
but because you deserve an apology."
822
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:44,520
"I was put on the spot
823
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,920
and was grasping at straws
for an answer to impress Jacki."
824
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,400
"That's not the type of game I play,
825
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,120
and you've never been my target,
let alone 'rival.'"
826
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,640
[chuckles]
827
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,319
I'm not gonna lie.
That message makes me smile.
828
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,240
The fact that she can own up
to the fact that I didn't deserve that
829
00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:06,359
and that she is apologizing.
830
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,040
I hope that she doesn't see it
as inauthentic
831
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,640
and, like, just trying to clear my own ass
for a spot in the f… in the…
832
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,280
in the final.
833
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,600
Circle, message,
834
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,600
"You are undoubtedly deserving

00:49:12,879 --> 00:49:14,319
Circle, message,
1005
00:49:14,839 --> 00:49:18,040
"My dad works so hard
and has sacrificed so much for me."
1006
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,680
"He helped me pay for school,
and I've always wanted to pay him back."
1007
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:22,680
Send.
1008
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,280
[Matthew] Everyone's climbing
the same mountain,
1009
00:49:25,359 --> 00:49:26,600
just different sides of it.
1010
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,120
You forget that sometimes
1011
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,080
other people are climbing
just as rocky of a side as you are.
1012
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,000
[sighs] I gotta sit down for this.
My goodness.
1013
00:49:38,879 --> 00:49:39,960
[crying] Message…
1014
00:49:42,879 --> 00:49:47,240
"My brother died after struggling
with heroin addiction three years ago."
1015
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,879
"It wrecked my life, my family's life,
1016
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,680
and nothing we went through compares
to what he had went through."
1017
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,359
"I can't even begin to tell you
the pain that my brother saw."
1018
00:50:04,359 --> 00:50:09,200
"Without question, I would give money
to drug abuse prevention." [sniffles]
1019
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,920
I… Yeah. I can't even imagine
what that's like.
1020
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,120
Jeez.
1021
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,399
Oh, darlin'.
1022
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:21,680
I think Jacki's extremely brave.
1023
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,799
You know, that's something
you kind of never get over.
1024
00:50:23,879 --> 00:50:25,879
But whether she's a new player or not,
1025
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:31,240
this opportunity is just as big
for her as it is for all of us.
1026
00:50:31,839 --> 00:50:33,000
Circle, message,
1027
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,200
"Man, I just wanna say I loved reading
every single one of your reasons."
1028
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,560
"No matter what happens,
1029
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,200
we are family here,
and nothing can break us apart."
1030
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,440
"I couldn't be here
with a better group of people."
1031
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,200
"I raise a glass to everyone here
1032
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,640
and say congratulations
to making it this far."
1033
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:51,319
"#AllLove. Heart emoji. #BestPromEver."
1034
00:50:51,399 --> 00:50:52,680
This was awesome.
1035
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:53,799
Cheers to that.
1036
00:50:56,359 --> 00:50:59,640
Circle Prom,
that was one for the books, honey.
1037
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,359
[Buteau] With the prom finished,
1038
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,160
our Circle students
are handing back those crowns
1039
00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,319
and heading to bed after a long day.
1040
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,680
Tomorrow, it's gonna…
it's… it's gonna be brutal tomorrow.
1041
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,720
[Buteau] Oh, hold up, James.
You know we ain't done with today.
1042
00:51:17,799 --> 00:51:19,359
-[loud chiming]
-[alarm blares]
1043
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:20,319
[chuckles]
1044
00:51:20,399 --> 00:51:22,399
-"Alert"? What?
-What?
1045
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,040
-Now?
-What do you mean?
1046
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:25,920
I thought we was going to bed.
1047
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,359
I have no idea what's going on right now.
1048
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,280
Please just let this be like,
"Alert! Good night. We love you."
1049
00:51:32,799 --> 00:51:35,200
"Players, tomorrow is the final blocking."
1050
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,560
[inhales deeply] Ooh…
1051
00:51:38,879 --> 00:51:40,839
"If you survive…" Whoo!
1052
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,879
"…you will be a finalist!"
1053
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,879
Whoo! Whoo!
1054
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,920
[vocalizes excitedly]
1055
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,319
Oh, that'd be epic.
1056
00:51:48,399 --> 00:51:50,799
I want to be a finalist.
1057
00:51:50,879 --> 00:51:53,960
So close!
It would be suck to lose it right here.
1058
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,600
"The players
that make it through to the final…"
1059
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,280
"…will be in with the chance of winning…"
1060
00:52:01,359 --> 00:52:04,319
"…$100,000." [laughs]
1061
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,359
[screams]
1062
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,600
Oh, that is life-changing.
1063
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,440
Now that I'm so close, I can smell it,
1064
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,399
that sweet, sweet cashola. [chuckles]
1065
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:20,600
This blocking's gonna be crucial tomorrow.
I ain't come this far to just lose it.
1066
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,359
Obviously, I'm scared about the blocking.
1067
00:52:24,399 --> 00:52:27,120
Ugh, I'm scared shitless to be honest.
1068
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:28,280
[exhales softly]
1069
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,640
[groans] That's a hell of a way
to end the night off.
1070
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:34,879
Messed up my whole face routine.
1071
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,160
The game is on getting through tomorrow.
It is on like Donkey Kong.
1072
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,399
