00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:37,156
I look like an adult Cabbage Patch Kid.
169
00:07:37,156 --> 00:07:39,425
Like, I can barely grow facial hair.
170
00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:40,760
I'm slightly balding.
171
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,163
I am not this fancy, but I am now.
172
00:07:44,163 --> 00:07:46,866
I'm going into The Circle as a catfish.
173
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:52,472
Olivia is a friend of mine,
and I instantly fell in love with her.
174
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:56,108
Since I have the brains
and the personality, Olivia, for me,
175
00:07:56,108 --> 00:07:57,477
has the body-ody-ody.
176
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:59,345
[upbeat music playing]
177
00:07:59,345 --> 00:08:03,382
I can make people laugh,
but Olivia can make people thirsty.
178
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:08,488
I'm definitely hoping
some of the boys slide into the DMs.
179
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:11,524
Someone's gonna be like,
"Do you lift weights?" I'm gonna be like,
180
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:13,326
"Yeah, duh."
181
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,261
You're Olivia. You're Olivia.
182
00:08:15,261 --> 00:08:19,031
"Please pick one image
as your profile picture."
183
00:08:19,031 --> 00:08:21,400
That's gonna be hard 'cause I'm hot.
184
00:08:21,968 --> 00:08:24,770
It's like, this is
my opportunity to be hot,
185
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:26,806
because I've never gotten
to do that before.
186
00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:29,609
So I can kind of use her looks
to my advantage in the game.
187
00:08:29,609 --> 00:08:32,078
Circle, take me to my private albums.
188
00:08:32,078 --> 00:08:33,246
[TV dings]
189
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:34,247
Let's see here.
190
00:08:34,247 --> 00:08:38,384
I think Olivia would be concerned
about coming off as, like, cute,
191
00:08:38,384 --> 00:08:41,287
and not really trying to be overly sexy.
192
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:45,324
Oh, I really love her in the blue.
She's got that little smile.
193
00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:47,894
Yes, Circle. Yes! [chuckles]
194
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:50,696
So I think boys
will want to flirt with her,
195
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:52,899
but she doesn't look super intimidating.
196
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:55,768
She's just very down-to-earth.
197
00:08:55,768 --> 00:08:59,505
{\an8}Circle, set this picture
as my profile picture.
198
00:09:00,573 --> 00:09:03,276
{\an8}Ah! Look at that face. Look at that face.

[Buteau] This Cabbage Patch catfish
is so ready for her glow up.
201
00:09:08,781 --> 00:09:13,619
And with our four players all moved in,
it's time for our very first vibe check.
202
00:09:13,619 --> 00:09:16,022
The Circle Chat is now open for business.
203
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:18,958

the first person to message.
206
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:29,435
What do I even say? I don't know.
I feel like it's so basic to be like,
207
00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:33,639
"Can you believe we're here?
Oh my God. #SoExcited."
208
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:37,777
I'm so excited. I don't know if I want
to be the first person to message.
209
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:41,714
{\an8}Let's just kick it off with a bang.
Circle, message, "Ayo!"
210
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:45,751
{\an8}Throw three Y's in there, five O's,

I'm praying we're not enemies,

00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,185
{\an8}Hi! I'm Steffi. I'm 35,
332
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:23,689
and I'm an evidential psychic medium
and professional astrologer.
333
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:25,557
Good thing you don't have a heartbeat,
334
00:15:25,557 --> 00:15:28,227
because mine is racing
out of my chest right now, Herbie.
335
00:15:28,227 --> 00:15:32,665
Herbert, he's my ESS.
My emotional support skeleton.
336
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:33,832
You're dead? Okay.
337
00:15:33,832 --> 00:15:36,669
He is my companion, my homie.
338
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:39,738
Nothing sexual, obviously,
but you know, more like friendly.
339
00:15:42,207 --> 00:15:44,810
So I am going into The Circle as myself.
340
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:47,079
But I don't want
to tell people I'm a psychic
341
00:15:47,079 --> 00:15:49,982
and tell them that my dead aunt
is helping me with my strategy,
342
00:15:49,982 --> 00:15:51,483
but she totes is.
343
00:15:51,483 --> 00:15:56,221
"Astrology nerd who writes
horoscopes and screenplays."
344
00:15:56,221 --> 00:15:59,959
{\an8}Circle, can you please submit my profile?
345
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:02,094
Okay, let's go. Hey!
346
00:16:02,094 --> 00:16:05,664
[Buteau] How you gonna give a lap dance
to something that ain't got no lap?
347
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:08,233
But she's not
the only new player with moves.
348
00:16:08,734 --> 00:16:11,537
Look, this where the magic happens.
[screaming]
349
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:13,706
Got my snacks!
350
00:16:13,706 --> 00:16:15,274
[funky music playing]
351
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:16,442
Showtime.
352
00:16:17,843 --> 00:16:20,612
{\an8}I'm Caress. I am 37 years old.
353
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:23,115
I'm a motivational speaker
from Dallas, Texas.
354
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:26,418
I love me some tea. Okay?
I don't know what it is.
355
00:16:26,418 --> 00:16:29,154
It makes me feel
like a little queen, like...
356
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:31,724
And I make crumpets and all that too.
So, I'mma have to do that.
357
00:16:31,724 --> 00:16:35,627
Caress on a Friday night, probably got
a nice hot cup of tea waiting on me.
358
00:16:35,627 --> 00:16:37,930
This house is turning into a home.
359
00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:39,064
I love it.
360
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:41,667
Everybody's catfishing online,
so why not me?
361
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:45,104
I'm coming into The Circle,
and I'm playing my younger brother, Paul.
362
00:16:45,104 --> 00:16:47,673
{\an8}["Lil Boo Thang" by Paul Russell playing]
363
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:51,210
My brother is 11 years younger than me.
364
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:53,245
Honestly, he knows a lot more
about social media.
365
00:16:53,245 --> 00:16:55,814
He's got, what,
300,000-something followers?
366
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:57,983
And I don't have hardly any.
367
00:16:57,983 --> 00:17:00,886
So I figure, if I'm coming
to do this social media thing,
368
00:17:00,886 --> 00:17:03,756
I might as well do it as him.
We're gonna be the life of the party here.
369
00:17:03,756 --> 00:17:05,090
[TV dings]
370
00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:09,862
Oh! Bro, I miss you. Look at him
trying to be all cool in the corner.
371
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,631
Circle, open up "Hanging Loose" folder.
372
00:17:13,999 --> 00:17:17,202
My brother's not single,
but I'm gonna be single in The Circle
373
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:20,372
merely because I think
that's the best way to connect.
374
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:22,040
I've never flirted with a woman.
375
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,710
I don't even know what to say.
Like, "Hey, lil' mama."
376
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:26,245
Or, like, "What's up, boo?"
377
00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:28,847
We're going to see
how this actually pans out.
378
00:17:28,847 --> 00:17:30,115
[TV dings]
379
00:17:30,115 --> 00:17:32,284
Yes. I love this.
380
00:17:32,284 --> 00:17:34,586
'Cause he looks super relaxed.
381
00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:36,755
And I like the fact
that he's got his arms open.
382
00:17:36,755 --> 00:17:39,625
He's like, "Yo, what's up, everybody?"
Like, "What's good?"
383
00:17:39,625 --> 00:17:40,993
I like this a lot.
384
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:45,297
Circle, save this as my profile photo.
385
00:17:46,098 --> 00:17:49,535
Age is going to be 26.
386
00:17:49,535 --> 00:17:52,871
"Hype," "handsome," and "happy."
387
00:17:52,871 --> 00:17:56,408
"Single, rapper."
I think they're going to be like,
388
00:17:56,408 --> 00:18:00,345
-"He seems fun. Like, where the party at?"
- [Buteau] Hate to break it to you, Paul,
389
00:18:00,345 --> 00:18:03,048
but the party's already happening
between our first four.
390
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:06,452
But maybe it's time for the rest
of the players to crash the convo.
391
00:18:06,452 --> 00:18:09,521
- [TV dings]
- Oh my gosh. There's more people. [laughs]
392
00:18:10,255 --> 00:18:14,793
- [gasps] Here we go.
- Oh, you gotta be playing with me, Circle.
393
00:18:14,793 --> 00:18:17,763
Oh snap! We getting the whole crew here.
394
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:22,067
Three more people added to the chat.
Let's go. Let's get to know these people.

398
00:18:32,144 --> 00:18:33,846
{\an8}And send message.
399
00:18:34,346 --> 00:18:37,015
Olivia, thank you for the welcome.
400
00:18:37,015 --> 00:18:40,619
Yes, okay, welcome, welcome.
Let me get up in the mix too.
401
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:43,322
{\an8}"What's up, everybody?"
402
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:46,291
{\an8}"So stoked to be here."
403
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:50,295
{\an8}"Let's turn this Circle out.
Are y'all as excited as I am?"
404
00:18:50,295 --> 00:18:53,732
{\an8}"Party for seven seems perfect." [giggles]
405
00:18:53,732 --> 00:18:55,934
{\an8}Okay, Paul might be a girl. I don't know.
406
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:58,003
That was... that was too good.
407
00:18:58,003 --> 00:19:02,207
Circle, take me to Paul's profile.
408
00:19:03,108 --> 00:19:06,345
{\an8}Oh, cute. He has such a cute smile.
409
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:08,580
{\an8}Look at him.
I just want to, like... [exclaims]
410
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:10,916
{\an8}Oh my God, he is a rapper.
411
00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:12,818
Get it, Paul.
412
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:15,287
Like, I feel like Paul's going
to be my competition.
413
00:19:15,287 --> 00:19:18,390
Because he's dark and handsome,
just like your boy.

416
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:31,737
So far, the vibes feel super good.

{\an8}Tell me why I knew
she was going to ask that?
422
00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:48,420
Can I just go shoot myself right now?
423
00:19:48,420 --> 00:19:50,923
I mean, I hate this. I hate astrology.

How could you do this to me?
425

Everyone has such good, like...
426
00:19:56,895 --> 00:20:01,066
these good, like, hit backs,
and I feel like I'm not,
427
00:20:01,066 --> 00:20:03,402
so I really need to show
more of my personality.

were definitely Paul and Steffi,

are some personalities,

Let's keep
the positive vibes going. Circle...
495
00:23:12,491 --> 00:23:14,960
- [gasps] Oh my God!
- Oh snap!
496
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,928
Yo, I'm here for it. Let's go!
497
00:23:16,928 --> 00:23:18,764
[all] "For Real For Real."
498
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:21,666
Frank! Frank. It's a game.
499
00:23:21,666 --> 00:23:23,635
[Buteau] Yay, it's our very first game.
500
00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:26,505
{\an8}Okay, we're gonna get it together. Okay.
501
00:23:26,505 --> 00:23:29,141
Circle, take me to For Real For Real.
502
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:30,942
[Buteau] In For Real For Real,
503
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:33,912
players will be asked
a series of morally challenging questions.
504
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,982
"Would you unfriend someone
who is cancelled?"
505
00:23:36,982 --> 00:23:37,916
Wow.
506
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:39,084
- Um.
- Um.
507
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,819
It really depends on what they did.
508
00:23:40,819 --> 00:23:42,154
That's a tough one.
509
00:23:42,154 --> 00:23:46,425
[Buteau] They can answer "no" if it's
something they would absolutely never do...
510
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:47,559
This one's easy for me.
511
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,528
If you get cancelled, so what?
512
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:52,564
We can't take you nowhere,
but you still my friend. [laughs]
513
00:23:52,564 --> 00:23:54,166
- This one's a "no."
-"No."
514
00:23:54,166 --> 00:23:57,068
- Circle, mark "no."
- I'm going to go with "no."
515
00:23:57,836 --> 00:23:59,805
[Buteau] ...or "yes" if they would.
516
00:23:59,805 --> 00:24:03,175
{\an8}If they messed up bad enough
to get cancelled, I'd definitely be sus.
517
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:05,076
Circle, lock me down for "yes."
518
00:24:05,877 --> 00:24:08,380
[Buteau] Once all the players
have given their answers,
519
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:12,184
{\an8}The Circle will reveal
the results for everyone to judge.
520
00:24:12,184 --> 00:24:14,219
{\an8}I mean, that's what
they're gonna do, right?
521
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:15,554
[all] Myles!
522
00:24:15,554 --> 00:24:17,656
[Steffi] Oh my gosh.
523
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:18,790
[groaning]
524
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:19,791
Interesting.
525
00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:22,427
Oh, that makes me so mad.
526
00:24:22,427 --> 00:24:25,197
Yo, definitely some people
are gonna be sus on me on this one.
527
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:28,333
Wow, Myles. You got me
looking at you different, bro.
528
00:24:28,834 --> 00:24:30,335
It is what it is.
529
00:24:30,335 --> 00:24:32,170
{\an8}[both] "Would you date someone..."
530
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:34,005
{\an8}[both] "...who has an OnlyFans?"
531
00:24:34,005 --> 00:24:35,173
[chuckles]
532
00:24:35,173 --> 00:24:36,942
Okay, you are my son.
533
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:39,211
We're not thinking
anything inappropriate. Okay?
534
00:24:39,778 --> 00:24:43,882
- Get your mind out of the gutter.
- Yes, I would! Easy!
535
00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:46,084
You know, sex work is real work.
536
00:24:46,084 --> 00:24:48,220
I've definitely dated several. [chuckles]
537
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:50,255
Shit.
538
00:24:50,255 --> 00:24:54,459
I just could not see
my girl doing something like that
539
00:24:54,459 --> 00:24:57,195
for every other man in the world to see.
540
00:24:57,195 --> 00:24:58,263
I love what's mine.
541
00:24:58,263 --> 00:25:01,166
- [both] What's mine is mine...
- ...or it ain't mine. Period.
542
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:03,168
Circle, submit "no."
543
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:07,906
I'll tell you, the birthday gifts be nice
when you with that OnlyFans girl, though.
544
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,375
You don't have to pay for dinner.
It's on her.
545
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:12,577
Easy answer, just throw down "yes."
546
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:14,513
Money is money.
547
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,616
If they're going to pay for it,
let 'em pay for it.
548
00:25:17,616 --> 00:25:18,617
"Yes." Sure.
549
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,752
Olivia, she's such a free spirit
550
00:25:20,752 --> 00:25:23,054
that I honestly think
she would be okay with this.
551
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:26,691
Circle, mark "yes."
552
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:31,863
Honestly, I am really eager
to see Myles's answer on this one.
553
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:34,733
If he was to say "yes,"
he threw me off right now,
554
00:25:34,733 --> 00:25:36,668
'cause I just don't...
I just don't know this guy.
555
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:39,771
[Brandon] Whoa.
556
00:25:39,771 --> 00:25:42,007
Oh my God. [laughing]
557
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:43,742
Yo!
558
00:25:43,742 --> 00:25:46,244
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
559
00:25:46,244 --> 00:25:49,781
So me and Kyle,
we see eye-to-eye. Okay, Kyle.
560
00:25:49,781 --> 00:25:52,083
Hey, Paul.
We got something in common, bro.
561
00:25:52,083 --> 00:25:54,452
This is exactly what I expected.
562
00:25:54,452 --> 00:25:56,755
All the women. Yeah, we would.
563
00:25:56,755 --> 00:26:00,792
Oh my God, and Myles!
Wait a minute. Slay, Myles!
564
00:26:01,293 --> 00:26:03,161
Maybe I should hit on Myles.
565
00:26:03,662 --> 00:26:07,032
So you're telling me
Cassie got three kids.
566
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:10,535
She gonna be okay
with her man being on OnlyFans?
567
00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:14,039
I don't mean, like, naked.
I just meant, like, model.
568
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:18,476
[Kyle and Myles] "If your friend confessed
to you that they were cheating..."
569
00:26:18,476 --> 00:26:21,079
[both] "...would you keep their secret?"
570
00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:21,980
[Cassie] Ugh.
571
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:23,248
Oh my gosh.
572
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:26,952
I have been cheated on before,
and I know how it feels.
573
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:30,155
Are they married?
Was it like a one-time thing?
574
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:32,090
Is it like a full-blown affair?
575
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,993
Man, I'm just gonna be real. I say "yes."
576
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:37,462
We're definitely gonna keep that secret.
577
00:26:37,462 --> 00:26:39,264
You know, they're our friend.
578
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:41,333
They trust us. We're loyal.
579
00:26:41,333 --> 00:26:43,735
We are not going to rat them out.
580
00:26:43,735 --> 00:26:45,937
Circle, mark "yes."
581
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:48,139
- [all] "Yes."
- I would keep their secret.
582
00:26:48,139 --> 00:26:49,207
None of my business.
583
00:26:49,207 --> 00:26:51,309
But if it comes up to it,
if I get pressed,
584
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:52,677
I'm not gonna lie for them.
585
00:26:52,677 --> 00:26:55,513
Circle, lockdown "no."
586
00:26:56,247 --> 00:26:58,350
This will tell you
how everybody really is.
587
00:26:58,350 --> 00:27:00,151
[whirring]
588
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:04,322
What?! This tells me something.
589
00:27:04,322 --> 00:27:06,391
Wow, Myles.
590
00:27:06,391 --> 00:27:08,226
That's gonna look bad for me.
591
00:27:08,226 --> 00:27:10,829
I'm so shocked Myles is in the "no."
592
00:27:10,829 --> 00:27:13,398
[huffing] Looking bad right there.
593
00:27:13,398 --> 00:27:17,068
It's none of your business.
It's too messy. It's too dramatic.
594
00:27:17,068 --> 00:27:20,338
Girls don't tell. We talk to our friends.
We don't rat 'em out.
595
00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:24,209
This makes me question things.
Like, am I going to be able to trust him?
596
00:27:25,577 --> 00:27:27,579
Okay. Next question.
597
00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:30,915
{\an8}[all] "Would you break up
with someone over text?"
598
00:27:30,915 --> 00:27:32,083
[squealing]
599
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:34,252
I mean, are we in the eighth grade?
600
00:27:34,252 --> 00:27:38,390
This is probably my first tricky question,
so this is gonna have to be strategic.
601
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:42,160
If you're going to break up
with someone over text, that's low, man.
602
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,663
If you're with somebody,
have enough respect
603
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,564
to, like, sit down face-to-face.
604
00:27:46,564 --> 00:27:51,302
Oh my God, Olivia would hunt you down
if you broke up with her over text.
605
00:27:51,302 --> 00:27:53,805
- Would I break up with someone over text?
- [both] No.
606
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:57,375
I think everybody
in The Circle is gonna say no.
607
00:27:57,375 --> 00:27:59,844
[suspenseful music playing]
608
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:02,580
I've definitely ended
some stuff over text.
609
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:05,950
I've gone ghost,
which I kind of feel is like the same way.
610
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,752
Like yo, bro, keep it real.
611
00:28:07,752 --> 00:28:10,655
If you playing around, you just don't
have time to do this anymore.
612
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:13,425
I'mma give bro a bad boy edge right now.
613
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:16,094
- [Myles] Circle, lock me down for "yes."
- [Caress] Going with "yes."
614
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:18,963
This would be shocking
if I see someone put "yes."
615
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:21,499
- [Lauren] What? What?
- [Kyle] Oh my God.
616
00:28:22,067 --> 00:28:24,202
[shouting] Oh, I'm with Myles?
617
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:27,038
Okay, Paul's with me.
Paul's my boy right now.
618
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:28,740
[groaning loudly]
619
00:28:28,740 --> 00:28:29,674
[shouting] No!
620
00:28:29,674 --> 00:28:35,246
What kind of monster breaks up
with someone over a text?
621
00:28:35,246 --> 00:28:36,915
That says it right there for me.
622
00:28:36,915 --> 00:28:41,986
Myles, right there,
he is on the complete other side again.
623
00:28:42,987 --> 00:28:47,459
Myles is moving all the way to the bottom,
because we don't agree on nothing.
624
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:50,361
Why did I create this persona
for Myles already in my head?
625
00:28:50,361 --> 00:28:51,763
I thought we had something!
626
00:28:51,763 --> 00:28:54,899
I don't think Olivia
is feeling Myles anymore.
627
00:28:54,899 --> 00:28:56,301
That breaks my heart.
628
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:58,903
Bro, I might go on ten dates
in a week, depending on it.
629
00:28:58,903 --> 00:29:00,638
I've done three dates on the same night.
630
00:29:00,638 --> 00:29:03,541
How am I gonna do a phone call
with every one of them, you know?
631
00:29:03,541 --> 00:29:06,911
The last thing
I wanted to do was be with Myles.
632
00:29:06,911 --> 00:29:08,146
I just don't trust him,
633
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:10,615
and they may not
trust me now because of this.
634
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:13,084
[Steffi] "Congratulations, players."
635
00:29:13,084 --> 00:29:15,820
"The Circle hopes
you've learned about each other's..."
636
00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:18,523
-"...morality..."
-"...for real, for real."
637
00:29:18,523 --> 00:29:19,891
I think I did.
638
00:29:20,625 --> 00:29:23,495
{\an8}[Brandon] I just feel
so much more confident.
639
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:25,130
{\an8}It's time to get it together,
640
00:29:25,130 --> 00:29:27,465
and it's time
to build those relationships.
641
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,900
I do think they may look at me
642
00:29:28,900 --> 00:29:32,337
{\an8}with a little bit of a side-eye because
I said I would break up with someone.
643
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:38,209
I think I played it right, but you know,
uh, some people might not like that.
644
00:29:38,776 --> 00:29:40,278
Myles, Myles, Myles.
645
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,881
You were my top person to go to,
646
00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:45,984
and you have plummeted
right to the bottom for me.
647
00:29:45,984 --> 00:29:47,619
Lauren, I feel like,
648
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:51,022
could be my biggest connection in here
so far out of these players.
649
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:52,390
Everything that she's answered--
650
00:29:52,390 --> 00:29:55,026
{\an8}When it came to the friend,
she wouldn't cancel them.
651
00:29:55,026 --> 00:29:56,895
{\an8}Secrets, she would keep.
652
00:29:56,895 --> 00:30:01,132
So my hopes with connecting
with her are still high.
653
00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:04,803
I think this game made me have
a lot more respect for Kyle,
654
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:08,106
um, 'cause I feel like he's not giving me
fuck boy vibes anymore.
655
00:30:08,106 --> 00:30:10,708
He's giving me, like, cool guy vibes,
656
00:30:11,309 --> 00:30:13,778
but we'll see where it goes.
657
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:17,448
[Buteau] For Real For Real
was for real, for real,
658
00:30:17,448 --> 00:30:20,451
but how we got more questions
than answers? [smacks tongue]
659
00:30:20,451 --> 00:30:22,487
That's just how The Circle be doing us.
660
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:25,790
But first, it's arm day, you guys.
661
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:29,928
And now Kyle's ready
to pump Lauren for some fresh info.
662
00:30:31,196 --> 00:30:33,998
{\an8}I really feel like Lauren
is the perfect person
663
00:30:33,998 --> 00:30:35,733
{\an8}to have a private chat with.
664
00:30:35,733 --> 00:30:39,070
I feel like I'm doing something
totally wrong right now.
665
00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:42,373
Like, I feel like I'm being deceitful AF.
666
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:45,176
I'm married.
Like, I don't take this thing off.
667
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:48,246
And I just feel wrong for what I'm doing.
668
00:30:48,246 --> 00:30:51,783
[Buteau] Don't worry, Kyle. What happens
in The Circle stays in The Circle...
669
00:30:51,783 --> 00:30:53,651
and the digital ether for, like, ever.
670
00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:54,819
{\an8}[Kyle] Aight.
671
00:30:54,819 --> 00:30:58,489
{\an8}Circle, open a private chat with Lauren.
672
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:03,094
- [TV dings]
- [gasps] "Kyle has invited you to a chat!"
673
00:31:03,094 --> 00:31:05,163
Oh shit. Okay.
674
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:08,466
Circle, take me
to the private chat with Kyle.
675
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:11,703
Circle, type message,
676
00:31:12,203 --> 00:31:15,506
{\an8}"Lauren, in all caps, comma,
677
00:31:15,506 --> 00:31:18,610
{\an8}I've been waiting to talk
to you ever since I read your bio."
678
00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:22,280
{\an8}"#XboxOrPlayStation? Question mark."
679
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,482
Circle, send message.
680
00:31:24,482 --> 00:31:28,653
Oh, I'm a PC gamer exclusively,
681
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:32,724
but I do love that he is trying
to relate on video games.
682
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:34,459
Love that. Okay.
683
00:31:34,459 --> 00:31:36,661
Circle, let's message back.
684
00:31:36,661 --> 00:31:41,599
{\an8}Let's say, "All caps. My KyKy, [giggles]
685
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:46,371
{\an8}I knew you'd be a video game guy."
686
00:31:46,938 --> 00:31:48,373
"My KyKy."
687
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:49,908
[squeals]
688
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:52,677
Give me a nickname. Give me a--
689
00:31:52,677 --> 00:31:55,046
I like KyKy. I like that name.
690
00:31:55,046 --> 00:31:57,015
Aight, Circle, message.
691
00:31:57,015 --> 00:32:00,818
"In all caps, I love that nickname!"
692
00:32:00,818 --> 00:32:03,187
"But only you can call me that."
693
00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:08,359
{\an8}"Emoji with the heart eyes,
emoji with the wink face."

00:32:11,729 --> 00:32:13,932
- [TV dings]
- [Lauren] Aw. [laughs]
696
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,833
I love that response, actually.
697
00:32:15,833 --> 00:32:18,603
Okay, my KyKy is killing me.
698
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,638
Okay, Circle, let's say,
699
00:32:20,638 --> 00:32:23,141
"That's it. You're my KyKy from now on,
700
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:25,543
and we're definitely gaming together
at some point."
701
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:27,578
"Heart emoji, kissy face emoji."
702
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:31,349
"Does this Circle prince
also like anime by any chance?"
703
00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:35,553
Man, that just shows
that right now, me and her are here.
704
00:32:36,054 --> 00:32:38,856
That's beautiful, man.
I love it. I love it.
705
00:32:38,856 --> 00:32:40,391
Circle, message,
706
00:32:40,391 --> 00:32:43,828
{\an8}"Me and my brother
watch anime religiously."
707
00:32:43,828 --> 00:32:47,665
"Once I read that you watch anime,
I knew you'd be my One Piece."
708
00:32:47,665 --> 00:32:50,268
[exclaiming, laughing]
709
00:32:50,268 --> 00:32:51,602
That's silly.
710
00:32:51,602 --> 00:32:54,372
Wait, I... [giggles] ...I love that response.
711
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:57,008
- [TV dings]
- [gasps] Oh my gosh.
712
00:32:57,809 --> 00:33:00,511
[laughing] Paul has invited me
to private chat?
713
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:02,380
I don't have any alliances yet.
714
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,015
As of right now in the game,
715
00:33:04,015 --> 00:33:06,918
Lauren would be the only female
I've had a one-on-one with.
716
00:33:06,918 --> 00:33:09,220
Let's get some kind of connection going.
717
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:12,523
Honestly, I... I'd love
to talk to Kyle a little bit more,
718
00:33:12,523 --> 00:33:15,093
but in the game of strategy,
719
00:33:15,093 --> 00:33:18,830
I should probably leave
this chat and go talk to Paul.
720
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:22,033
Okay, Circle, let's write
a quick message to end the chat.
721
00:33:22,033 --> 00:33:25,570
{\an8}"I would definitely
join your pirate crew."
722
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:27,839
{\an8}"So happy I got to talk to you."
723
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:31,376
{\an8}With the heart emoji,
"#DefinitelyTalkSoon."
724
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:32,844
"Lauren has left the chat."
725
00:33:32,844 --> 00:33:34,178
That was amazing.
726
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:39,417
She understood what I wanted to say
when I called her "my One Piece."
727
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:41,586
She got it, she understood it,
728
00:33:41,586 --> 00:33:45,790
so now let's... let's hope
that she's actually in my pirate crew.
729
00:33:45,790 --> 00:33:48,960
[Lauren] Circle, let's join
the private chat with Paul now.
730
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,161
[TV dings]
731
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:52,730
All right, Paul.
What do you want to say to me?
732
00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:54,899
My God, Ms. Popular.
733
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,935
{\an8}"What's up, Lauren?"
734
00:33:57,935 --> 00:34:01,439
{\an8}"So excited we get
to connect in this chat."
735
00:34:01,439 --> 00:34:03,608
{\an8}"What about that last game? Phew!"
736
00:34:03,608 --> 00:34:05,309
{\an8}"Only yes or no answers."
737
00:34:05,309 --> 00:34:08,146
{\an8}"Anything you would have liked
to elaborate on?"
738
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:11,649
Whoa, Paul. I love this message.
739
00:34:11,649 --> 00:34:13,584
{\an8}Message, "Hell yeah!"
740
00:34:13,584 --> 00:34:16,888
{\an8}"The one about cheating
hit kinda close to home."
741
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:19,123
{\an8}"I'd want them to tell me, but maybe not?"
742
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:21,559
{\an8}[Caress] "I don't know.
How about you, my guy?"
743
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:23,594
"My guy"?
744
00:34:23,594 --> 00:34:25,163
[Lauren] I love saying "my guy."
745
00:34:25,163 --> 00:34:27,165
That's actually, like,
the perfect response.
746
00:34:27,165 --> 00:34:28,666
I'm really proud of that one.
747
00:34:28,666 --> 00:34:30,435
Why would she say "my guy"?
748
00:34:31,302 --> 00:34:32,804
Message,
749
00:34:32,804 --> 00:34:35,339
{\an8}"Oh, so I'm your guy! I like that!"
750
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:36,674
[Lauren] "Not a fan of cheaters,
751
00:34:36,674 --> 00:34:38,843
and I would never
wanna be in that situation."
752
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:40,278
"If a girl cheated on me,
753
00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:44,182
not sure if I would want
to talk to her afterwards."
754
00:34:44,182 --> 00:34:46,984
"I'd probably just limit
our communication to text."
755
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:50,121
"Respect boundaries."
756
00:34:51,055 --> 00:34:51,889
What?
757
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:55,093
Is this guy's, like, dad playing him?
758
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:58,963
{\an8}Message, "Def agree.
Never want to keep cheaters around."
759
00:34:58,963 --> 00:35:01,799
"Respecting boundaries
is an absolute must."
760
00:35:01,799 --> 00:35:04,102
[Caress] "Super curious to know
if you've ever broken up
761
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,670
with someone through text."
762
00:35:06,170 --> 00:35:07,972
{\an8}"Super savage."
763
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:12,577
{\an8}Message, "To be honest,
I've never broken up via text,
764
00:35:12,577 --> 00:35:15,780
{\an8}but I do believe in closing doors
and keeping it closed
765
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:17,348
{\an8}once you know what the deal is."
766
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:20,651
{\an8}"I know what I'm looking for.
Not a savage, but a sweetheart."
767
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:21,552
"Heart emoji."
768
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:25,423
Couldn't have said it
better myself. Oh, I did.
769
00:35:25,990 --> 00:35:28,493
Circle, send message.
770
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:32,163
[Lauren] Ooh! Okay, Paul! Let's go.
771
00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:34,599
I can respect that. That's good.
772
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:37,201
Let's end out this chat by saying,
773
00:35:37,201 --> 00:35:39,036
{\an8}"Good to not waste any time."
774
00:35:39,036 --> 00:35:41,305
{\an8}"That's a lesson
I definitely had to learn."
775
00:35:41,305 --> 00:35:44,909
"Love meeting straightforward people
that know exactly what they want."
776
00:35:44,909 --> 00:35:49,113
"So good talking with you, Paul.
XO. #LoadsOfRespect."
777
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:51,382
{\an8}"White heart emoji." Send it.
778
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:55,686
{\an8}Lauren, you're not real.
You are not real, honey. I know it.
779
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,590
I'm getting male vibes
from her all the way.
780
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,259
Paul might be a catfish.
781
00:36:01,259 --> 00:36:02,994
I don't know who he is,
782
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:08,833
but he is not handing me
a 26-year-old straight man.
783
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:12,403
Top of the "Girl, Bye."
That's... that's the list she on.
784
00:36:12,403 --> 00:36:13,304
Girl, bye.
785
00:36:13,871 --> 00:36:16,941
[Buteau] Let me get this straight.
Catfish Caress, pretending to be a man,
786
00:36:16,941 --> 00:36:19,610
is getting fake vibes
from a genuine player, Lauren,
787
00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:21,312
who she thinks is a man.
788
00:36:21,312 --> 00:36:23,114
God, I love this place.
789
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:24,315
[funky music playing]
790
00:36:24,315 --> 00:36:25,816
[Buteau] The players are settling in,
791
00:36:25,816 --> 00:36:28,753
and Cassie is loving
the glamour of the apartments.
792
00:36:28,753 --> 00:36:30,821
I just can't get over
the lighting in here.
793
00:36:30,821 --> 00:36:34,292
Like, I'm going to have to,
like, bring this whole setup home.
794
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:35,526
[Buteau] And so is Lauren.
795
00:36:35,526 --> 00:36:37,361
Was that a fly? What was that?
796
00:36:38,162 --> 00:36:39,430
[groans, laughs]
797
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:40,331
Oh, I got it!
798
00:36:40,331 --> 00:36:42,400
[Buteau] Do what you gotta do
to get things done.
799
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,368
Go to your bed. Bed.
800
00:36:45,169 --> 00:36:46,804
No, that's the sofa.
801
00:36:46,804 --> 00:36:49,240
[Buteau] If I stay in my bed,
do I get a cookie?
802
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,342
I wish I could be a palm reader,
803
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:53,678
but like a real one.
804
00:36:54,345 --> 00:36:56,914
Maybe Steffi could read my palm?
805
00:36:56,914 --> 00:36:59,217
[Buteau] Oh yeah. Maybe talk to her?
806
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:03,254
Okay, Circle,
open a private chat with Steffi.
807
00:37:03,254 --> 00:37:08,092
{\an8}Circle, message,
"Hey, Steffi, with four I's."
808
00:37:08,092 --> 00:37:09,560
"How are you doing?"
809
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,897
{\an8}Message, "Hi, BB! Heart emoji."
810
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:15,433
"So happy you slid into my DMs."

00:53:25,702 --> 00:53:28,972
{\an8}Stay loyal, bro.
Stay freakin' loyal like you said, bro.
1156
00:53:28,972 --> 00:53:31,207
{\an8}[Buteau] ...and next-level secret alliances
1157
00:53:31,207 --> 00:53:34,244
{\an8}that shake up
the competition like never before.
1158
00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:36,112
{\an8}[screams] Here we go!
1159
00:53:36,112 --> 00:53:37,847
{\an8}[shouting] No!
1160
00:53:37,847 --> 00:53:39,950
{\an8}Screw it. Time to send somebody home.
1161
00:53:39,950 --> 00:53:41,585
{\an8}- [Buteau] Sacrifices are made.
- [beeping]
1162
00:53:41,585 --> 00:53:43,553
{\an8}Damn!
1163
00:53:43,553 --> 00:53:46,756
{\an8}- Your ride or die is...
- [Buteau] Bridges are burned.
1164
00:53:46,756 --> 00:53:47,691
{\an8}Oh!
1165
00:53:47,691 --> 00:53:50,393
{\an8}I love me a good secret alliance.
1166
00:53:50,393 --> 00:53:51,428
{\an8}[yelling]
1167
00:53:51,428 --> 00:53:52,896
{\an8}That's some shade.
1168
00:53:52,896 --> 00:53:55,832
{\an8}[Buteau] And the race
to the finish line gets dirty.
1169
00:53:55,832 --> 00:53:58,268
{\an8}And with $100,000 at stake,
1170
00:53:58,268 --> 00:54:01,571
{\an8}everyone is scheming
new ways to grab that bag.
1171
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:03,773
{\an8}[Brandon] I feel like
I'm in Brokeback Mountain now.
1172
00:54:03,773 --> 00:54:05,675
{\an8}"I wish I could quit you!"
1173
00:54:05,675 --> 00:54:09,245
{\an8}[Buteau] You better get ready for
the most strategic season of The Circle.
1174
00:54:09,245 --> 00:54:11,715
{\an8}- [Brandon] What does that mean?
- Oh shit.
1175
00:54:11,715 --> 00:54:12,782
{\an8}No!
1176
00:54:12,782 --> 00:54:14,851
{\an8}[dramatic music plays, stops]
1177
00:54:16,286 --> 00:54:18,288
[theme music plays]
1178
00:55:34,564 --> 00:55:36,566
[theme music ends]
