[Michelle] Good morning, everyone.
With two newbies arriving yesterday,
6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,320
our little Circle familia
is up to nine players.
7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,280
Mm.
8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,160
[Michelle] New arrivals Eversen and Imani
each threw a party,
9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,120
but the others could only go to one,
10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,760
so everyone's waking up
with a new Circle face to greet.
11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,280
"Eversen."
12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,600
Oh! "Imani."
13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Hey, there's another person!
14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,040
Oh snap! Imani! Look at that.
15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Whoa! Look at the rest of our friends.
16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,720
I had five people at my party, which means
Eversen only had, like, two people.
17
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,480
I think that's definitely a good sign.
18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,520
Still need to target
Bru, Rachel, and Eversen.
19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Circle, can you take me
to Imani's profile?
20
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,280
That could be a catfish. I mean,
that picture right there is pretty, like…
21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Is that a filter? I can't really tell.
22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,520
I'm looking at Imani's pictures.
Looks very catfishy here.
23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,680
"The biggest introverted extrovert."
This girl out clubbing!
24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,560
She ain't no introvert.
I think she's lying.
25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Oh, Imani is 35 and single. So is Eversen.
26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Circle, please take me
to Eversen's profile.
27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,280
Wow, Eversen is a character.
28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Okay, very different.
29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Okay, interesting.

I don't know what flamingle means.
But that's okay.
32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,000
More than happy to flirt
with a good-looking man,
33
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,880

Oh my God. "Alyssa, single, age 27."
35

I can believe you definitely got some
small and spicy vibes, little caliente.
36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,600
This is someone that I could
potentially have as a friend or ally.
37

00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,560
because I will be the first one
up on that cruise ship,
169
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,600
and that is for sure.
170
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,160
Alyssa, "Eversen, I will do my best.
We're so happy to have you here,
171
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,800
and I can't wait to get to know you more,
uh, #OnDryLandFirst." [laughs]
172
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,680
Message, "Alyssa, I'm in the same boat
as you. In parentheses, ha! Get it?"
173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,360
"I'm very much looking forward
to this group cruise."
174
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,800
"Hope to see lots of sea men. LMFAO."
175
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:05,320
[Michelle] There you go. You embarrassed
the sexpert. You happy, Yu Ling?
176
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,160
And let's go
from risqué to just plain risky,
177
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,120
'cause Imani's group
is about to talk trust.
178
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,440
Message, "You picked a good couple
to come to, comma,
179
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,640
I think Rachel and I
are some of the most…"
180
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,560
"…trustworthy people in here."
181
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,800
You know, I wasn't shy in that roast,
and I'm not about to be shy here. Like…
182
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,080
If she wants information,
183
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,280
you came to the right people.
184
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,080
Ooh, okay, Rachel, "What I can tell you
185
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,200
is that our dude here Bru
is so real and so fun."
186
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
"On the other hand,
187
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760
it seems like there may be some people
in our #CircleFam
188
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,200
who are struggling with the
[gasps, squeals] #SoReal part."
189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,400
"Side eye emoji."
190
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040
"I definitely want you
to form your own opinions,
191
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,160
but what I've seen and heard,
Carol is playing a very strategic game."
192
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,000
"Bru, I don't mean to be shady
if y'all are tight."
193
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,280
"I've just seen some things
I can't ignore."
194
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,560
That says a lot,
because if I'm gonna go in
195
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,720
and try to have an alliance
with somebody like Carol,
196
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,480
if she's gonna be cutthroat,
that's something I… I really need to know.
197
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,920
As long as Imani doesn't see this
as, like, too much, I think it'll be good.
198
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,560
But she's a grown-ass woman.
Like, she's not here for the bullshit.
199
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,000
All right, gotta stick up for Momma Carol.
200
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Message, "Our Circle mom Carol has been
nothing short of fantastic to me."
201
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,760
"And after all,
it's #WhatsOnTheInsideThatCounts." Send.
202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,720
I think she's a catfish too.
203
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,200
I don't see a problem
with her being a catfish at the moment.
204
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,440
So he and Carol are, like, tight.
205
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Message, "That's so crazy
that you name-dropped Carol."
206
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520
"I thought she was
really sweet yesterday."
207
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,520
"She gave me that whole cute mom vibe,
208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,600
but I felt like she was
holding something back."
209
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:51,960
That's what I'm saying!
210
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,840
"I'm still getting to know everyone
and trying not to jump to conclusions,
211
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,280
but it's nice to know that you two
are as cool as I thought you'd be."
212
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Thank you, Imani. Amen.
213
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Message, "This was the perfect chat
to start my day."
214
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,640
"You both are so dope,
and I appreciate you spilling some tea."
215
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,040
"#PartyWithYouTwoAnytime
#DrinksOnMe." And send.
216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,440
She definitely hashtags like she's 35.
217
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,960
I don't try to use a hashtag
218
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,880
unless it's actually, like,
either clever or meaningful.
219
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,480
"Drinks on me"?
220
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,200
I mean, I'll take it. I'll take a drink.
221
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,440
I'll take a mimosa in the hot tub.
222
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,400
[duck squeaks]
223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Thank you for picking us,
224
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,640
because now I understand
that Bru and Carol are, like, tight.
225
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,200
Information dropped on Carol is big.
226
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,840
It's like, she could probably have
a stronger hold over this game, then,
227
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720
than I originally anticipated.
228
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,520
[calm music playing]
229
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,240
[Michelle] It's afternoon in The Circle,
and after all that chatting,
230
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,920
our players are catching up
with some chores.
231
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
[slow accordion music playing]
232
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,680
[screen whirs]
233
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,200
What is this?
234
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,360
[Michelle] Oh, I have no clue,
but it looks scary.
235
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,760
[intense music playing]
236
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,520
"Cyber-attack detected"?
237
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,760
What this mean?
238
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,960
Is this for real?
239
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,960
What the fuck?
240
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,400
Huh?
241
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,080
What the hell is this?
242
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,640
"Firewall deactivated"?
243
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,920
Is somebody hacking The Circle?
244
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Where the blue light at?
245
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,600
What in the 2001 is happening?
246
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,520
Oh Lordy. It's Y2K.
It's finally catching up.
247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,840
[screen beeping loudly]
248
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520
[Alex, hesitating] What?
249
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,760
Is this happening to everyone, is…
or is this just my Circle?
250
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,080
Look at our freakin' profiles!
251
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Whoa, my face is all distorted!
Oh, Carol, you look terrible.
252
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,520
[distorted alert blares]
253
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,960
"Alert"?
254
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,080
"Alert"? Uh-uh, girl.
Y'all need to pay y'all fucking bill!
255
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,000
Circle, you got, like, a… a IT department,
256
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,840
somebody who just kinda
hold the power down and restart?
257
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,400
"The Circle has been hit by a…"
258
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,160
"…cyber virus"?
What does that even mean? Like…
259
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,920
We've been Snowdened!
260
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,240
"As new players…"
261
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,040
"…Eversen and Imani
already have the antivirus software"?
262
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,000
Whoo!
263
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080
So I'm safe from the cyber hack.
264
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,120
"There has been a data breach!"
265
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,920
Does that mean people are gonna find out
that I'm a catfish?
266
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Like, that's what I feel like
when I hear "data breach."
267
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,880
That is not a good term.
268
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:37,200
"As Eversen and Imani
have the antivirus software,
269
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880
they are immune from this data breach."
Yes! Yes!
270
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,800
Ah! [moans]
271
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,680
"Players,
one of your photo albums has been…"
272
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120
"…leaked to another player"?
273
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Yeah, I think things
are about to get really chippy.
274
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,920
[Michelle] I don't know what that means,
but I think you might be right, Carol.
275
00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:00,000
"Each player can now upload one photo
from these leaked albums."
276
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,360
[Alyssa] "This will be done anonymously."
277
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,280
Oh God. [chuckles]
278
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,760
"Whilst in anonymous mode,
each player can also ask one question."
279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240
As a catfish, I need to make sure
I'm on top of my game
280
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,360
'cause if anyone
is looking at all of my photos,
281
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,760
I need to make sure my story makes sense.
282
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,960
Who we gonna get?
283
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,080
Oh, I got Nathan's.
284
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,000
See, I don't know how to play this at all,
285
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,360
but I still got reservations about him,
and specifically, if it's really him.
286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080
[Frank] Okay!
287
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,400
I have Bru's.
288
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Yu Ling! Oh!
289
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,120
This one is tricky,
because we are friends.
290
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,600
[Alex] Oh shit. Okay.
291
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,440
So I have Alyssa's photos here.
292
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,720
I'm gonna throw her under the bus,
293
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,880
and I'm gonna make up a lie
294
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,280
and make Alyssa
have to play a little defense here.
295
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,400
I got Frank.
296
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,360
[gasps]
297
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,520
I have Rachel.
298
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Like, the one of her playing chess,
299
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,280
I think it sort of implies
some larger strategy.
300
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,440
Oh my God!
301
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,760
I have Carol.
302
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,960
This is my number one target,
and I got her freaking album.
303
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Game freaking on, Carol.
304
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,360
[Michelle] That's right, honey. Game on.
305
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360
'Cause with photo selected
and question submitted,
306
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,640
it's time for this virus
to cause some damage.
307
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,360
Oh God, here we go.
308
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
This is all anonymous. No rules.
309
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,200
Who's gonna be first?
Who's gonna be the first leaked photo?
310
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,080
This is about to get good.
311
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920
[Michelle] First up is a photo
from Frank's album.
312
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,600
All right, it's me,
313
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,280
and hopefully, uh, we might get
a little bit of a doubt
314
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,680
in Frank's direction here.
That's all I want.
315
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,920
This is me at brunch, honey,
giving the girls what they need.
316
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,480
If anyone comes for Frank,
I'm coming for them.
317
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,440
[music intensifies, fades]
318
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720
"Frank, is this you scheming up

another quote-unquote
'Mr. Nice Guy comment'

00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920
on your way to 150K?"
321
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Here we go!
322
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,640
Ahhh!
323
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Rude!
324
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,400
Somebody trying to be messy here,
but, baby, this is me at brunch.
325
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,200
This seems kind of like a Carol insult.
326
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Momma Carol's got that cojones
to ask that type of question.
327
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Message…
328
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,320
Oh, Frank is typing! Frank is typing!
329
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Be smart here, my man. Be smart.
330
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,640
I'm excited to see
what he comes back with.
331
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,600
If he kind of freaks out, like,
it just shows how easy it is
332
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,720
to get to Frank's head.
333
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,360
"Three crying laughing emojis."
334
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,800

on how to get another mimosa pitcher
at Sunday brunch. #NiceGuyInRealLife."
336
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,760
[Bru] "Bru, you're not the only one
that can rock a turtleneck!"
337
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Wait a second. Wait a second.
Wait a second. Wait a second.
338
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,360
He thinks it's me?
Why would he do that? It wasn't me!
339
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Yeah, Bru, I definitely remember
you rocked a turtleneck.
340
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,800
So I just wanted to show
that Bru, I'm watching you,
341
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,920
and I still remember your lovely photo.
342
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480
You didn't address what was brought up.
343
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,960
He just tried to act
like that didn't bother him at all.
344
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Just, like,
it's just like such a meh answer.
345
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Why would you do that
in an anonymous thing
346
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,480
and then mention somebody?
347
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,120
Everyone's thinking,
"Oh, he thinks that Bru said it."
348
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Oh no! There's something being built here
that I don't like.
349
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:28,440
[grunts]
350
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,280
[vocalizing]
351
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,320
Who's next? Who's next? Who's next?
352
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,280
[Michelle] Next is a photo
from Yu Ling's album.
353
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:38,440
I did this one.
354
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,400
Yay! At least I don't have to be nervous
about what the question is.
355
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,880
Whoo-hoo! Look at Yu Ling!
356
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,640
Okay!
357
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,600
Oh my God. What are they gonna say?
What are they gonna say?
358
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:55,600
While Yu Ling and I have connected
in, like, a pretty cool way,
359
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,600
I still don't know
who she's not vibing with.
360
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,040
"You look like a woman of mystery,
361
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:05,560
but who in The Circle
would you not tell a secret to?"
362
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,160
This is good, 'cause now,
363
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320
she's gotta… she's gotta name a person.
364
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,880
She's gotta name names.
365
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,120
And if she doesn't, everybody's gonna
be looking at her some kind of way.
366
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,560
Message, "I promise
there is no mystery to me."
367
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,480
"I am totally an open book."
368
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,480
"Unfortunately for everyone in The Circle,
369
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,080
you have all been subjected
to my oversharing."
370
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,200
"#WearsHerHeartOnHerSleeve."
371
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,640
I definitely respect that she chose
to answer the question this way.
372
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,560
It's none of y'all goddamn business.
373
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,440
She did not answer the question.
She did not answer the question.
374
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,640
It's kind of like a diplomatic answer,
375
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,080
but I just don't think
that it's a smart thing to out someone.
376
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,600
I kind of avoided it.
377
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,960
She hasn't named anybody.
378
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,400
That's… that's why I feel like she…
she played the game.
379
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:58,880
To me, that means you're a friend to all,
which means you're a friend to no one.
380
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,920
Oh, it's time for a new one!
381
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,280
[Michelle] That's right. And this time,
it's a photo from Rachel's album.
382
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,120
It's Rachel. This is mine.
383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Oh.
384
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Getting her Queen's Gambit on. I like it.
385
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,760
It's gonna be a strategy thing, isn't it?
386
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,720
I'm kind of hoping that her response is,
387
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,440
like, defensive in a way
that makes her seem like I'm right.
388
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,120
"How…" Ooh.
389
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,080
"How can you pretend
to be a calm and meditative person
390
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,320
when you are the first one to stir the pot
at the first sign of drama?"
391
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,160
"Are we all pawns in your game?
#YourStrategyIsShowing."
392
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200
-[Bru] Oh my God.
-[Frank] Oh my God.
393
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,200
This is showing me
a very different picture of Rachel.
394
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,360
I'm definitely not putting on an act.
People are more than one thing.
395
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,040
Very interesting.
I'm curious how she's gonna reply to this.
396
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:55,160
Message, "Ooh, doggy.
You came for my throat with this one."
397
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,720
"Crying laughing emoji."
398
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,280
"I'm glad you asked
399
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,120
because I felt like I'm usually
the first one to speak my mind,
400
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,080
but that's because
all I can be is honest."
401
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,160
"I am so much more than one thing."
402
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,720
"I'm calm and positive,
and I'm direct and to the point as well."
403
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920
"I'm not a game player,
just a whole person."
404
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,840
"I think the people
who know me best know that."
405
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280
Rachel, I think
that was a very, very, very good answer.
406
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:21,840
[shouting] #RachelForPresident!
407
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,200
That's how you clear a bitch!
That's how you clear 'em!
408
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,240
She really spun that in a beautiful way.
[kisses] Well done.
409
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,800
And she's also like, "You're right.
I do like the drama." [laughs]
410
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600
[Michelle] Next up is a photo
from Carol's album.
411
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,160
We went for the jugular.
So we're just direct with this one.
412
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,640
That is my mom as a child.
413
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,400
Aw, Carol.
414
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,400
"Who could hate
a sweet and innocent face like that?"
415
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720
"Is that why you decided
to play Carol rather than yourself?"
416
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,120
Oh!
417
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,600
This is a spicy question.
Straight up just calling her a catfish.
418
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,600
I mean, I am a catfish, uh,
but I'm not gonna say that.
419
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,360
Momma Carol could be an 18-year-old girl
or, like, a 90-year-old man.
420
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,360
Right now, we got a good thing going.
It's helping my game.
421
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,160
Everybody might think
everybody's a catfish. Who knows?
422
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,880
But I gotta be able
to dance around this one. So let's dance.
423
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Message, "Well, I'll take the compliment."
424
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,560
"People have been doubting me
my whole life."
425
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,520
"I've gotten used
to rolling with the punches."
426
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,400
"I understand why people might think
a woman of my age couldn't do this,
427
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,840
but I'm here to prove
that no matter how old you are…"
428
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,800
"…you can still accomplish anything."
429
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,640
"I'm just going to keep doing
what got me here,
430
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,640
and that's just being myself."
431
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,720
Perfectly said, Momma Carol.
Proud son over here.
432
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,040
Do I still think she's a catfish? Yes.
But worded beautifully.
433
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:46,800
Like I said, I don't care
if she's a catfish or not. She's a liar.
434
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,440
I feel like I nailed it. I feel like
people are gonna read this and be like,
435
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,960
"Damn it. We can't trip up Carol at all."
436
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,640
I feel like people
are just onto her, like,
437
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,920
the whole sweet mom act
might be running its course.
438
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,600
[Michelle] Next up
is a photo from Bru's album.
439
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Here's mine!
440
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,280
See, this is how you play a game
to get information
441
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:13,120
and not to create lies
and fallacies about people.
442
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Oh no, it's me on the boat.
That's a great picture though. Killing it.
443
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
All right, Bru,
let's see what this picture has to say.
444
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,640
"Bru, you can only take
your two favorite besties in The Circle
445
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,920
on this yacht with you,
446
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,680
comma, who are you choosing?
Question mark."
447
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760
If I were Bru, I'd be like… [exhales]
448
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,200
Let me see my name in there
if you're gonna name names.
449
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,800
That's all I care about.
450
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440
I'm so nervous.
451
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,680
"I'm taking all of us on this yacht,
452
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,680
and if it sinks,
I'm going down with y'all."
453
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,520
"Crying laughing emoji."
454
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,840
"#CircleBestiesForLife."
455
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,080
[grunts]
456
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,920
Diplomatic. Diplomatic.
457
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,480
What a lame answer!
458
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,760
It's a cop-out that I respect
because I would cop out in the same way.
459
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,320
You did exactly
what everybody expected you to do,
460
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,760
exactly what everybody expected you to do.
461
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,800
I just got here, and I'm onto you.
462
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,160
[Michelle] Next is a photo
from Alyssa's album.
463
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,400
Oh God. Here's mine. All right.
464
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,920
Oh, it's me!
465
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,400
Is she in Rome?
466
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,240
I'm very curious right now.
467
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,560
I'm hoping my lie that I have come up with
468
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,800
does a lot of damage
and really throws Alyssa under the bus.
469
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,280
"In one of our first conversations,
you told me you'd never been to Europe."
470
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:36,960
"How do you explain this photo?"
471
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,080
-Oh!
-Oh!
472
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,680
-[Trevor] Oh my gosh!
-[Bru] Oh no!
473
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,960
That's not true.
474
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,280
Oh my God, she just got caught in a lie!
475
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,680
So somebody was out here lying,
saying they'd never been.
476
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,960
Okay, now this is real right here.
477
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,400
This conversation never happened.
478
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,240
So, she's going to be confused.
479
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,360
She's hopefully gonna be caught off-guard.
480
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,400
I gotta play dirty here.
481
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,760
That feels like a lie.
482
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,160
I mean, it is a lie.
483
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,400
I've been to Europe several times.
Like, I've been to Italy several times.
484
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,280
If this is true, this is Bad News Bears.
Alyssa is one of my closest people.
485
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,040
I didn't really think she was a catfish.
486
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:17,120
I'm way more suspicious of Alyssa now
than I was before.
487
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,760
I didn't have any reason
to be suspicious of her.
488
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,320
I wanna see how Alyssa gonna
wiggle her way out of this one, baby.
489
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,040
Okay, Circle message…
490
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,560
[suspenseful music playing]
491
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280
"That is such an odd thing to say."
492
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:35,760
"Because I am such a notorious note taker,
and I can tell you for a fact
493
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,200
I have never talked to anybody
about travel."
494
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920
"I've been in Italy a few times
to see family,
495
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,480
and this particular trip,
I traveled to Rome with my ex-boyfriend,
496
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,280
and you can see him in the reflection
of my sunglasses." Oh, she dug deep.
497
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:52,240
"I'm glad there wasn't

498
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,720
because this is just a blatant lie.
Crying laughing emoji."
499
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,760
I hope that I have done enough
to tarnish Alyssa's name.
500
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Don't mess with Alyssa.
This girl has receipts.
501
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,560
Let me write that down.
502
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,760
Let me be a notorious note taker
like Alyssa, honey!
503
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,720
Maybe she lied to somebody else
about something,
504
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,480
or maybe she influenced somebody else,
and they didn't like that.
505
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,920
Alyssa does seem very, like,
meticulous with notes and stuff,
506
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,400
just the way she's. like, prepped.
507
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,280
I'm nervous because I really don't know
who would have said that.
508
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,840
[Michelle] And finally, we have a photo
from Nathan's album.
509
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,640
Oh boy! It's my turn.
Anonymous, that's me.
510
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,440
All right, here we go. It's game time.
511
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,280
Aw, is that little Nathan?
512
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:36,600
[laughs] This is a photo
of Nathan as a kid.
513
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,680
All right.
514
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,880
This is where we find out
if Nathan's real.
515
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,240
It's gonna be quick and painless.
516
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,480
I just wanna know.
This is between me and him.
517
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:49,200
"Nathan, from your album
and this childhood photo,
518
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600
it looks like you're a lifelong golfer."
519
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,560
"Some quick trivia
to see if it's really you."
520
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,880
"How many shots under par
do you need for an eagle?"
521
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,600
Shit. I wouldn't know.
Let me tell you. Ha!
522
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,280
[suspenseful music playing]
523
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,120
An eagle is two shots under par.
524
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,600
Hell, if you've even played mini golf,
I feel like you know what this is.
525
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Oh my God.
526
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,360
This is so bad.
527
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,920
If he doesn't reply
or if he tries to distract being like,
528
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
"I haven't played golf in years.
I don't remember."
529
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,160
It's like, no, you don't forget that.
530
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,080
So it's par…
531
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,560
birdie…
532
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,720
All he needs to reply with is
the number two, and we're straight.
533
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,640
An eagle sounds better than a birdie,
and I know a birdie is one shot under par.
534
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,240
If Nathan doesn't get this right,
535
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,240
I will be so mad,
because it means that he's a catfish.
536
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,880
He's taking a long time to answer.
537
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,000
I took notes.
538
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,520
I took so many notes before this,
539
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,880
and I didn't write down what an eagle is.
540
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,160
Oh my God. I might fuck up my game here.
541
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,320
There's no way out of this!
It's a simple… it's a simple answer!
542
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,200
This is right or wrong, catfish or not,
in my eyes.
543
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,400
All right, let's say,
"My… my dad is huge…"

All right, big dog, you passed.
Good job, dude.

Oh my God. I feel sick to my stomach.

All right, I don't know
if that's the truth,
554

but it sounds convincing.
555
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,560
And it sounds like Nathan
usually does end up drinking too much,
556
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,000
and I understand.
557
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,200
I really feel like
that's the end of my game.

I don't think I answered that correctly.

00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,240
"This is much appreciated, my man."
661
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,480
"I still feel like there's so much
I don't know about what's going on,
662
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,440
so it feels great that I can turn to you."
663
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,240
[clicks teeth]
That's what I've been saying.
664
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,360
My Circle bro.

-[Alex] Oh no.
669
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,080
Oh, dear Lord. Lost Nathan.
670
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,720
Take me back to my chat, Circle!
Take me back to my chat.
671
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,320
There was information coming.
I could feel it!
672
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,200
Circle! Come on.
673
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,720
-Bru was gonna tell me things!

What is going on?
676
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,640
[Michelle] Oh, okay.
Nice to see that, in The Circle,
677
00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:27,440
even malicious computer viruses
have a flair for the dramatic.
678
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Now, let's see what's on Rachel's mind
except for,
679
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,040
"Is it acceptable to fry pasta?"
680

682
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,720
Child, not Rachel inviting me
to a private chat.

00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,760
Message, "Frank, OMG, shocked emoji."
684
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,480
"That game was ruthless.
Crying laughing emoji."
685
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,920
"Just wanted to check in
and make sure you're feeling okay."
686
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,600
"I know we both got dragged a little bit."
687
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,760
"Some of those other questions
had me shook, though."
688
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,800
"Like what was that Alyssa mess?
Crying laughing emoji."
689
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,040
"That really took me aback.
Now I've got questions. Eyeball emoji."
690
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,960
Message, "It seemed like
someone was trying to be super strategic
691
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,000
and create lies about other people
692
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,560
so they would have to defend themselves
in front of the new players."
693
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,600
"I'm not sure what they were going for
with the Alyssa question,
694
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,000
but she has been here
since day one with me."
695
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,240
"I've always thought
696
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,400
she was a very genuine player
with a very big heart."
697
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,000
"My gut tells me
that Alyssa was telling the truth."
698
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,000
So he believes Alyssa.
699
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Like, I literally
do not think strategically,
700
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,560
so the fact that somebody said that
just to throw off the new players sucks.
701
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,360
I think it's interesting
somebody would go after her like that.
702
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,440
I think that's suspicious. Message…

What the hell is that?
What the fuck is this?

And who gonna exit out
of all of this shit? I'm trying to talk!
708
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,120
[Rachel] Oh my God.
709
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,280
Can we… can it go away?

00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,480
[both]
"Are you sure you want to close the chat?"
711
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,200
-No.
-Girl, I didn't try to close the chat.
712
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,160
-What the hell?
-I'm trying to read the chat.
713
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:13,960
That's so annoying!
714
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,400
[laughs] Oh my God!
715
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,320
Baby, where is a computer technician
when you need one?
716
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,560
[Michelle] Trust, Frank, I've been
on the phone for three hours now.

[chill music playing]
718
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,720
The Circle is suffering from a virus,
719
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:32,280
but nothing, and I do mean nothing,
stops arts and crafts time in this place.
720
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,240
Oh, Daddy loves you two so much.
Oh my God. Oh my God! I love you.
721
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,960
It's the longest I haven't spoken to you.
722
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,920
[Michelle] Aw, you might not have spoken
to your kids in a while,
723
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,960
but get some perspective, Imani,
'cause Nathan just burnt his food.
724
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,480
Oh my God! Not this.
725
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,440
Oh! I fucked it all up.
726
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,840
I mean, is it bad that I actually think
I may be able to eat this?
727
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,880
[Michelle] And before Chef Nathan
serves himself a delicious helping
728
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,400
of whatever that was,
729
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,840
I think The Circle may be
about to serve something else.
730
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,480
Oh no.

Oh no. Oh no.
734
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,840
Oh man. That doesn't look like good,
not one bit.
735
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,320
No! Stop! I hate it!
736
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,520
I am shaking, honey.
737
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,520
Oh my God. What if I go home tonight?
What if this is it?

[Yu Ling] "Alert"!
741
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,040
Oh no.
742
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,160
Oh God. Oh, jeez.
743
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:48,800
I can't go to the bathroom in peace
without alerts?
744
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,040
We gotta trust that all the work
we have put into this game
745
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,960
will pay off right in this moment.
746

"Eversen and Imani, you must now decide…"
747
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,680
"…who to pass
the antivirus software on to."

[exhales]
749
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,000
I'm safe, but I'm kind of stressed,
'cause I don't know
750
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,600
who I'mma pass the software on to.
751
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,360
[Rachel] I hope I've done enough.
752
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:17,200
We had good conversations, but who knows?
Like, maybe the game tonight swayed them.
753
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,320
Please, please, please, please, please,
please, please save me. Please, save me.
754
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,800
Please. Please.
I can't have this be when I get blocked!
755
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,600
I don't know what they think of me.
I don't know what to think of them.
756
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,960
And that makes me absolutely terrified.

[Alex] I don't know which one player
they're gonna pick.
759
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,280
[Michelle] Eversen and Imani haven't had
a one-on-one chat yet,
760
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,760
but they're about to make that happen
to save one player.
761
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,240
This is really not how I thought
762
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840
my… my initial conversation
with Eversen was gonna go.
763
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,360
"Eversen and Imani,
you should now pick one player
764
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,560
to pass the antivirus software on to."
One?
765
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:56,720
Just one?
766
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,120
Shoot.

00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,080

how crazy is all this?"
768
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,800
"I hope your mind
is just as blown as mine."
769
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,800
"This is not how I expected
our first conversation to go,
770
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,360
but it's nice to get to talk to you."

"Loved your profile.
I tried to get into your party last night,
773
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:18,040
but they said I was underdressed.

You tell he's digging Imani's vibe.
This is good. I like this already.

You trying to flirt a little bit.

"As much as I would love
to continue to get to know you,

I think it's time we try to figure out
who we're gonna pass
782
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,640
the antivirus software on to."
783
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:47,160
"How are you feeling about Rachel?" Send.
784
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:49,040
Ah.
785
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,720
Well, message,
786
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,360
"Rachel, straight talker, to the point."
787
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,680
"And people can say
that that's stirring the pot…"
788
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,880
"…because you're not being passive."
Yes! Yes!
789
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,920
That is why I like this guy, like,
790
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,240
people are freakin' intimidated by people
that… that aren't afraid to just be blunt.
791
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,440
"Yes. I love me a strong woman
that's not afraid to be straight up."
792
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,320
"I feel the exact same way about Rachel,
so she's somebody I want to keep around."
793
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,280
"Let's talk about Frank next.
I absolutely adore him."
794
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,480
"His whole vibe energy is just infectious,
795
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,320
and he made the biggest impression on me
at the party last night."
796
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,200
"I feel like he's a good person
to have in your corner."
797
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,560
"What are your thoughts?"
798
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,240
Message, "I agree! Exclamation point."
799
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,600
"Frank is a whole vibe.
When we talked today, he was cutting up."
800
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,920
"However, that Mr. Nice Guy comment,
I want to know more."
801
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,400
"Because normally
when people say, 'Mr. Nice Guy,'
802
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,960
it's usually
there's 'no more Mr. Nice Guy.'"
803
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,640
I really, really, really like Frank.
804
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:54,280
You know, I think by me saving him,
805
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,280
he's somebody I know
will rate Imani high moving forward.
806
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,840
The most important person
to save for my game plan would be Frank.
807
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,720
"Now, let's move on to Momma Carol.
To me, she comes across super sweet,
808
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,240
but there's been talk
of her being a game player."
809
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,600
"So I definitely need
to keep my eye on her."
810
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,960
"What do you think?" Oh!
811
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,840
People think she's a catfish,
and I'm afraid that she'll get blocked.
812
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,920
I also really sympathized with her
when she said
813
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,880
she's just been going through this life
being who she is.
814
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,760
That speaks to me,
'cause that's who I am. That's what I do.
815
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,600
Circle, message,
"She does seem very sweet,
816
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,760
and to be accused of being a catfish
in The Circle is like the Scarlet Letter."
817
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,560
"Playing the game
doesn't make you a catfish,
818
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,560
but making decisions
other people don't agree with
819
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,280
will make people say
you're a game player."
820
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,760
He doesn't have any red flags,
and that's okay. That's fine.
821
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,440
For the most part,
I think we're moving along nicely.
822
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,000
I think we're, we're,
we're, we're of like minds.
823
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,680
It's clearly between Frank, Rachel,
or Carol to save.
824
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,280
I just hope we can agree on who to save.
825
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,720
Oh! Carol or Frank.
826
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:06,040
Uh, or Rachel!
Rachel was at my party last night, though.
827
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,560
But Frank, he…
he does seem like a real vibe.
828
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,920
Oh man, I hope this goes right.
God, this is stressful.
829
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,240
[intense music playing]
830
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,440
Message… [exhales deeply, inhales]
831
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,880
"I think we've come to our decision…
Dot, dot, dot." And send.
832
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Yes, I think we have.
833
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,040
[Michelle] One player is about to get
a free pass from the blocking.
834
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,120
[dramatic music playing]
835
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,160
I've never hated anything
more than I do this experience.
836
00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:47,800
This is the most vulnerable
I've ever felt in the game.
837
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,800
I'm not feeling
this whole virus situation.
838
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,960
Oh boy.
839
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,480
-[distorted alarm blares]
-[Rachel] Oh!
840
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,400
"Alert!" Oh, "Alert." Oh, "Alert." Oh no!
841
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,240
This is so stressful.
842
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:09,080
Somebody done turned the heat up, baby,
'cause I feel like I'm about to pass over.
843
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,000
"Eversen and Imani
have made their decision."
844
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,520
Let's hope they made a good one.
845
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,160
What's the freaking decision?
846
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:18,800
-Circle…
-…Take me to…
847
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,000
…Circle Chat.
848
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,600
[beeping, whirring]
849
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,240
[sighs]
850
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,400
"Eversen, which player
have you and Imani decided
851
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,320
to pass the antivirus software on to?"
852
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,680
"Which player"?
853
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,760
They only get to give it to one person?
854
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,960
All right, Eversen, give it to them, man.
855
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,440
Man, you don't understand how difficult
it was to come to this decision.
856
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,520
It's like… Oh, it's like a slow,
painful death. Come on. Just do it!
857
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,600
Send the goddamn message already. Come on!
858
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Circle, message…
859
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,840
Oh my God. He's typing.
860
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:57,920
Okay.
861
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,760
[music intensifies, stops]
862
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,040
[screaming] Jesus!
863
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,080
"Frank!"
864
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,080
Frank. I fucking knew it. Oh my God.
865
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,000
Oh no! Frank!
866
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,840
[screaming] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
867
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,640
Look at that shit!
My picture is regular again.
868
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:26,880
"Frank, you are free from the virus
and safe from tonight's blocking."
869
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,040
Another day in The Circle, baby!
870
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,560
That's what I'm talking about!
871
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,440
He got the antivirus.
He's… he's as clean as a whistle now.
872
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,840
Is there only the one, and everybody else
is just in the regular pool of blocking?
873
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,000
"Frank, which player do you want…"
874
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,080
What?
875
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,320
"Frank, which player do you want
to pass the antivirus on to?"
876
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,000
[Alex] Oh my God.
Wait, is this like a chain?
877
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,960
Like, they pick one person,
and then that person picks another person?
878
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,040
Oh no!
879
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,720
[sighs] Oh my God.
880
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,440
I get to pick?
881
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,080
I like this, 'cause now we can start
to figure out who he favors in this game.
882
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,320
It ain't gonna be me.
883
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,440
I don't think Frank's gonna give it to me.
884
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,720
I want Alyssa to stay in this game,
but I want somebody else to keep her safe.
885
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:19,200
I don't understand what his strategy is.
He plays with his heart, not his head.
886
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,960
I definitely want to go
with Rachel or Yu Ling
887
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:28,240
in hopes that they will keep
the #InnerCircle alive.
888
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,200
I can feel my heart beating
out of my chest right now.
889
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,120
Circle, I'm ready to lock in my answer.
890
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,320
I just have a feeling
that if Frank doesn't pick me,
891
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,000
I might be going home tonight.
892
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,800
[music intensifies]
893
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,080
Oh my God. Frank, I fucking love you!
894
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,640
He picked Yu Ling.
895
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,760
Yu Ling. Thank God.
896
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,720
"Yu Ling, you are free from the virus
and safe from tonight's blocking."
897
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:00,800
[screaming]
898
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,080
That's actually pretty good.
899
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,840
Yu Ling is probably gonna give it
to either Alyssa or myself.
900
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,560
She might give it to me.
901
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,720
I think Frank wants me to choose Rachel.
902
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:17,160
The only difficulty is
I also need Alyssa in this game.
903
00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:19,240
We were influencers together.
904
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,320
We shared a lot of information together.
We have an alliance.
905
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,720
Pick Alyssa or me. Pick Alyssa or me.
906
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,240
If she doesn't go with me,
then I'm gonna go home.
907
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,440
Circle, lock in my answer.
908
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Please, Yu Ling,
please put me out of my freaking misery.
909
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,800
Come be my IT repairman, Yu Ling.
910
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,920
[music intensifies]
911
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,720
Oh my God! Yu Ling!
You did it! You saved me!
912
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,280
What the fuck?
913
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,800
Rachel? Yu Ling picked Rachel?
914
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,400
When did that happen?
915
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,360
What do you mean, Rachel?
916
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,520
"Rachel, you are free from the virus
and safe from tonight's blocking"?
917
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,760
[inhales]
918
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:17,880
Oh God.
Alyssa and Bru are so pissed at me.
919
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,360
It sort of feels like
she fucked over me and Bru,
920
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680
who are part of an alliance for her.
921
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,000
People just talk,
tell you what you wanna hear.
922
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,600
That's unbelievable.
923
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,960
This is gonna cause drama.
924
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:35,080
I just can't risk Alyssa choosing Carol,
is the only thing.
925
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,160
[Michelle] Frank, Yu Ling, and Rachel
have been given the antivirus software
926
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,160
and are safe from blocking.
927
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,360
It's now down to Rachel
to choose who gets it next,
928
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,280
Bru, Carol, Alyssa or Nathan.
929
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,000
[Yu Ling] "Rachel, which player
do you wanna pass the antivirus on to?"
930
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,440
[sighs] Oh my God. Please choose Alyssa.
931
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,320
I could go with Bru.
We've had really good conversations,
932
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,920
but I feel like he's so tight with Carol,
933
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:06,040
and she would definitely block me
immediately if she could.
934
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,400
It's not gonna be me.
Hopefully, it's Bru or Alyssa.
935
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,280
I got a little bit
of connection with Rachel,
936
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,880
but I just don't know.
I don't know if it's enough.
937
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,920
I could go with Nathan,
because we have this cool strategy,
938
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,320
and I am a loyal person,
so I wanna prove that to him.
939
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,360
We can take over the game.
You just gotta save me.
940
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,560
She's not gonna give it to Nathan,
I don't think.
941
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,840
If Rachel is being a genuine player,
942
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,360
she's definitely going to pass the ball
to Alyssa.
943
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,120
Circle, message…
944
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,680
[music intensifies, stops]
945
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,520
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
946
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,360
Oh, Rachel, let's go! Yes!
947
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,120
Rachel saved Nathan.
948
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,840
Hmm.
949
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,880
I didn't expect that.
950
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,600
[shouting] What the fuck is happening?
951
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,200
I don't know what's going on anymore.
952
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,320
"Nathan, you're free from the virus
and safe from tonight's blocking."
953
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,160
I'll definitely get to flirt my way
to the top with Nathan,
954
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:11,000
but that was shocking.
955
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:16,000
What is happening in all of these chats
that I'm not in?
956
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,280
"Nathan, which player do you want
to pass the antivirus on to?"
957
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,560
I'm sure
Alyssa can't be thrilled right now.
958
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,040
Us two to be down to the last three
is, like, actually bananas.
959
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,000
And Bru too. Like, these are
the three people I align with the most,
960
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,600
so this is just, like, all bad for me.
961
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,000
Me and Bru just had a great conversation.
962
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,640
He gave me some crucial information.
963
00:49:37,720 --> 00:49:42,080
I could pass this off to Alyssa.
Her and Yu Ling are very close.
964
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,200
That could win me some points
with Yu Ling.
965
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,080
Nathan, do me a solid here, bud.
966
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,920
I just want to know!
967
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,120
Message…
968
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:50,560
Oh my God.
969
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,760
[music intensifies, stops]
970
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,720
Oh, Nathan picked me. Oh, Nathan saved me.
971
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,400
Oh my God.
972
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,040
"Bru, you are free from the virus
and safe from tonight's blocking."
973
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,960
You are welcome, my man.
974
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,960
Whoo! We are still alive, baby.
975
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:19,800
I'm still alive, but instant…
instant feelings about what's coming next.
976
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,280
[Michelle] With only Carol
and Alyssa remaining,
977
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,360
whoever Bru doesn't choose
to receive the antivirus
978
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,880
will be immediately blocked and sent home.
979
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,240
"Bru, which player do you want
to pass the antivirus on to?"
980
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,200
So we're saving one more.
981
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,280
I can't believe it's between me and Carol.
982
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,800
Baby Bear Bru,
who has promised me his trust.
983
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:46,640
Promised me.
984
00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:50,320
I mean, I'm as confident
in my alliance with Bru
985
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:55,280
as I was in my alliance with Yu Ling,
and she just shat all over it.
986
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,400
I got to pick between my mom and my…
my other Circle bae.
987
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,400
This is a nightmare,
an absolute nightmare.
988
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,680
I think Bru's gonna save Alyssa here,
989
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,280
but as we found out earlier,
he kind of likes Carol.
990
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,480
He's gonna hurt one of these two ladies.
991
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,320
This is some shitty shit.
992
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:21,400
Circle, the player that I'd like to pass
the antivirus on to is…
993
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,720
[music intensifies]
994
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,040
[music fades out]
995
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,920
[Michelle] Coming up, get ready…
996
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,160
This is a game.
You cannot trust everybody.
997
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:39,600
…for the shocking end
to our most dramatic season yet.
998
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,080
I have no problem stepping on anyone.
999
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,320
Damn!
1000
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,200
Holy shit!
1001
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,800
"I'll show up in this outfit
1002
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,160
and then let you
take whatever you want off."
1003
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:50,120
Ooh!
1004
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:51,320
This is big enough for two.
1005
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,640
She is a good-looking lady.
I do wanna get my flirt on with Imani.
1006
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:55,560
[Michelle] Betrayals…
1007
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,960
[Bru] "You'll have 30 minutes
to paint a portrait."
1008
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,000
"Your portraits will remain anonymous."
1009
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,920
Oh!
1010
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,200
-[gasps] "Backstabber?"
-[Trevor] Wow!
1011
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,240
[gasps]
1012
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,400
[laughs]
1013
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,120
I did not realize
it was gonna get this dirty!
1014
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,400
…leads to blockings.
1015
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,280
I so badly want to stay.
1016
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,800
-Moment of truth, man.
-Who's leaving?
1017
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,000
What?
1018
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,040
That's rough.
1019
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,080
[Michelle] As the twists
just keep on coming.
1020
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,320
"The top-rated player will become
the secret super influencer."
1021
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,640
-I didn't expect this.
-This is wild, man.
1022
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:29,520
This could be the start of a Circle war.
1023
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,760
[screams] Oh fuck!
1024
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,040
