00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,200
and I kind of wanna be vulnerable,
175
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:00,080
and I feel like I want people
to know this part of who I am. Um…
176
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Message, "I'm so positive in this game
because I've been through a lot in life."
177
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760
"So each day I'm thankful to be here."
178
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,640
"I lost both of my parents
when I was young
179
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
and learned early to appreciate
every day I was given."
180
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,680
"You noticing the positive energy
really means the world to me."
181
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800
Oh, Frank.
182
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,880
Oh, man, buddy.
183
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,680
Talk about opening up.
184
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,440
I mean, there it is.
185
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,040
I never ever thought
186
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,480
that I would make it through life
without having parents.
187
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:36,120
I was jealous of other people
when they had parents,
188
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,080
and there's not a lot of people
that had to grow up
189
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,640
and figure out life
without both of their parents.
190
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,480
But I don't waste time feeling like
191
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,280
the negative is gonna overshadow
the positive in my life,
192
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,800
because I'm just really, really grateful
that I wake up every day,
193
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,480
and that is the secret
to me being a ray of sunshine.
194
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Let's message, "Frank, your bravery
195
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:03,360
to go through each day
with that attitude is incredible."
196
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,200
"You should be so proud that every day,
197
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400
you make people
feel good about themselves,
198
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,200
and with everything life throws at you,
you still have a smile on your face."
199
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,240
"Thank you for sharing. I'm glad
that throughout all this craziness…"
200
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,440
"…we've maintained the good vibes
between us. Heart emoji."
201
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Aw. Bru, that was so sweet.
202
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,760
Would've never guessed that about Frank,
and for him to open up,
203
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,560
really… it really means the world.
204
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,560
This chat feels real. I feel like
I'm having a real conversation.
205
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Just being able to open up with him
in that moment means a lot to me.
206
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Message, "Bru, I really appreciate
your kind words,
207
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,680
and this just solidified the bond
I knew we always had since day one."
208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360
"I've always had
a great level of respect for you,
209
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,600
and that has increased after this chat."
210
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,560
"Can't wait to continue
getting to know you,
211
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,480
and let's chat soon."
212
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:58,840
"#MeetYouAtTheBar, beer-clanking emoji."
213
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,040
And that just puts a bow
214
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,840
on what was an unexpected
but incredible chat with Frank.
215
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,280
Game aside, I mean,
216
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,840
just the… the feelings for Frank
now have changed completely.
217
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,560
Just like… [smacks tongue]
Oh, what a… what a thing to share.
218
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,240
And I know it's tough for him
because it's something,
219
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,200
you know, he probably doesn't wanna have
to look back and talk about,
220
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,520
but he chose me to share that with,
221
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
and it just means a lot
that he would share that info.
222
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,680
[relaxed music playing]
223
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,400
[Michelle] It's afternoon in The Circle,
224
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,680
and Nathan
is sniffing out the competition.
225
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,200
[Alex] Boom. "I can smell the win."
226
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,560
We are almost there,
and I can… [inhales]
227
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,440
…start to smell it.
228
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,960
[Michelle] Okay, you know a player's brave
when they fry bacon up in lingerie.
229
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,080
And Imani's feeling the heat too
as she hits up The Circle hot tub.
230
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,720
[moaning, laughing]
231
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Yes.
232
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280
[Michelle] And she's about to say
"aye, aye" to the captain himself.
233
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,200
[screen chimes]
234
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,800
"Imani has invited you to a private chat."
Okay, Imani. What's up, Imani?
235
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,880
I think this would be a really good time
for me to get a little bonding in,
236
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,680
hopefully, a little flirting in.
237
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,680
Ah! You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
238
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,760
[Michelle] Yes, sweetie.
We all know what you saying.
239
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,040
Let's go. Message, "Hey, good Reverend."
240
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,840
I see the dots going up on the screen.
241
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240
I can't wait to see
what kind of message she brings to me.
242
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,880
"You definitely put me in vacay mode,
so I had to come up to the hot tub."
243
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,200
"#SeriousAboutGrabbingMyTwoPiece."
And send.
244
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,080
Oh! You in the hot tub right now?
Okay. I like it.
245
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,920
I'm definitely enjoying the image
she painting with the two-piece on.
246
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,840
She is a good-looking lady. I do…
I do want to get my flirt on with Imani.
247
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,440
Message, "So you in the hot tub
right now?"
248
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,320
"Side eye emoji."
249
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,200
"So I guess you weren't lying
about that chicken breast either?"
250
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,520
"Question mark. Ha… Laughing face emoji,
laughing face emoji." Send.
251

[Trevor laughing]
252
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,440
Yeah! See? I knew it. That's… that's…
that's what I expected, like…
253
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,080
That is so Eversen. You know,
he just gonna get right to it, you know?
254
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Oh, man. All right. How are we gonna
come back here? How we gonna come back?
255
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:12,200
Message, "Honey, I'm a lot of things,
but a liar is not one of them."
256
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,640
"Now I need you to be honest."
257
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,000
"We both know chicken
is not the breast on your mind."
258
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,320
"You ain't slick."
259
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,120
Catch your composure. I know.
260
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,040
I know I knocked
your socks off with that one.
261
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Your glasses probably fogging up
right now.

265
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,600
Yes!
266
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,080
[Michelle] Nothing sexier
than a titty pun, am I right, ladies?
267
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Oh, I feel so sexy right now.
I feel really, really, really fabulous.
268
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,680
[Eversen] I like that she's always honest.
She's speaking as she is.
269
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,200
Oh. Imani typing.
270
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520
She's typing.
Let me see what she typing 'bout.
271
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,680
"This hot tub is big enough for two."
272
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,840
"Besides, I feel like
it could be a little hotter."
273
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,760
Oh! "#GrabYourShorts. #OrDont. LOL."
274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,920
Okay. Imani's flirting hard.
275
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,040
Yo, I never thought
276
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,800
pretending to be a woman
would be this much fun.
277
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:28,040
Message, "Who needs shorts?
'Cause, baby, I'm a merman."
278
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,560

Eversen, you naughty boy. You are naughty.

00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,000
I definitely think that my flirting game
is the strongest. I mean, come on.

[funky music playing]
287
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,520
[Michelle] It's afternoon in The Circle,
288
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,040
and Yu Ling is laying it on thick
in a marathon makeup session
289
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,280
while Rachel is trying to build
a reliable structure up in here.
290
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,160
No, no, no, no, no.
291
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,240
[Michelle] Hmm.
Wonder if that's symbolic in any way.

[alarm blares]
293
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,760
"Alert." Oh.
I've come to disdain these alerts.
294
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Right when I was in the middle of ruining
a perfectly good house of cards.
295
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Oh shoot! What?
296
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,280
"Players, you must now rate each other."
Oh, man!
297
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,640
[Eversen] "Rate your fellow players
from first to seventh."
298
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,680
Oh.
299
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040
Oh, man! This is like…
this is so stressful.
300
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,040
You know, this is the first time
I'm doing the ratings,
301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,600
and it's the first time
I'm getting rated also.
302
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Let's do it. Let's start rating.
303
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Circle, take me to my ratings.
304
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,520
[suspenseful music playing]
305
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,400
I'm gonna rate Yu Ling first
because she's had my back in here,
306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880
and I know that if she is an influencer,
she's not gonna send me home.
307
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Circle, I'd like to put Yu Ling
in first position.
308
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,960
Bru had my back in the virus,
had my back throughout everything.
309
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,640
He has promised me safety,
and I promised him safety.
310
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120
I'm hoping I might be
at the top of his because obviously,
311
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,000
he lost Alyssa in this game.
312
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,160
So, Circle, please place Bru
in my first spot.
313
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Circle, place Carol
in my first position, please.
314
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,480
It's a weird dynamic.
Do I think she's a catfish? Probably.
315
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,200
Do I trust her, though? 100%.
316
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,960
There's no chance in the world,
if Carol became an influencer,
317
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920
that she would get rid
of her Baby Bear Bru.
318
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:53,320
We came in together. We also had to make
that tough decision together.
319
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,880
She deserves this first spot.
320
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,760
And I know that if she's an influencer,
she'll protect me.
321
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,640
So, Circle, please put Imani
in first place.
322
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,600
Circle, lock in Rachel
in my first position.
323
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,600
We align strategically,
324
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720
and I know she has my back
at this point in the game.
325
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,400
Circle, please place Yu Ling
in my first position.
326
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,400
I have to put someone
that I feel like I can trust in this game
327
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,080
and someone who has been loyal to me
in this game.
328
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Ugh. Second place is so important
329
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,400
because top two
are probably gonna be influencer.
330
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:40,080
So, Circle, I'd like to place Bru
in my second position.
331
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,600
Bru really does have my back,
332
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,480
and he's also someone
who votes with his heart.
333
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,280
In my second place spot,
I wanna put Frank.
334
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Frank is Imani's boo. Like…
That's… that is my other Black king.
335
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560
Yesterday we bonded
on so many different levels.
336
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840
I think I'm gonna put Frank
in my third spot.
337
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,440
I have a middle-of-the-road relationship
with Frank,
338
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,160
so it's a safe bet to put him third.
339
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,040
Circle, please lock in Frank
in my third spot.
340
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,640
Circle, I would like to place Nathan
in my fourth position.
341
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:24,360
In my fifth place spot,
I'm going to put Nathan.
342
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,320
Circle, please lock in Eversen
in my sixth position.
343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Circle, please lock in Frank
in seventh place.
344
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,160
I really like the guy.
345
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,440
He's funny,
346
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,360
but nothing scares me more than a player
where I don't know where their head's at,
347
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,520
and so I can't risk
Frank becoming an influencer.
348
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,800
In my last position,
I would like to place Carol
349
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,520
because I know she's rating me low,
350
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,680
and she's bringing my average down.
351
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,280
So, please go.
352
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:04,160
In last place, Yu Ling.
353
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,840
You snapped at me in the Circle Chat
when I was bringing some truth.
354
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,160
Circle, please lock in Yu Ling
in my seventh spot.
355
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,280
-Circle…
-Submit my ratings.
356
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,560
[Yu Ling] "Ratings complete."
357
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,960
Whoo!
358
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,840
I feel good about who I have up top.
359
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480
I feel really good about that.
Those are people that I trust.
360
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,880
I just don't know
where I'm gonna land in any of this.
361

[mellow music playing]
362
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,520
[Michelle] With the time-honored tradition
of ratings done,
363
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,920
it's time for another one,
364
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,720
the classic scrambling
to secure alliances before the blocking.
365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,240
Take it away, Nathan.
366
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480
I really need to touch base
367
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,480
with my number-one ally in this game,
Rachel.
368
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,840
I just need to let her know
I still got her back.
369
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,680
Circle, open a private chat with Rachel.
370
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,920
[screen chimes]
371
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,560
Oh my God. "Nathan has invited you
to a private chat."
372
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,920
Circle, take me to a private chat
with Nathan.
373
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Ooh, that's fun.
374
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,360

Message, "Rachel, thank you so damn much
for saving me during that annoying virus."
376
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,600
"Strong arm emoji. I owe you one,
and fully plan on returning the favor."

"#YouDaBest. How's it going for you?"
378
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,600
That's so nice of him to say.
379
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:42,440
Like, I wanted to show him that I meant it
when I said I was in it with him,
380
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,440
and I'm glad that he sees that now.
381
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,480
If you're ever in danger, Rachel,
382
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,120
you bet your ass
Nathan is gonna stick up for you.
383
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,600
Message, "I got you, dude."
384
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,400
"Today is going okay."
385
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,200
"Gotta say the ratings
had me pretty shook,
386
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,240
but luckily so far,
I know who my people are."
387
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,520
"Speaking of our people,
388
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,360
I had a cheeky chat
with Yu Ling last night,
389
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,880
and I'm so here
for whatever the hell y'all got going on."
390
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,960
"The Jewish mother in me is loving this."
391
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,440
[chuckles] I hope I don't embarrass him.
392
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,760
So she brought up Yu Ling
as a shared ally of ours,
393
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,840
which is great
because I was gonna bring up Yu Ling.
394
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,920
Rachel is always one step ahead of me.
It's so funny.
395
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,400
Anytime I wanna verbalize something
to her,
396
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,920
she beats me to the punch.
397
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,480
I love that about her.
398
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,080
Message, "Yu Ling and I are very tight."
399
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,200
"She's super cool
and obviously really cute."
400
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,360
"I was stoked when she saved you
401
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,560
'cause I didn't know
you guys were close like that."
402
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,680
"Prayer hands emoji.
You both are my number-one gals."
403
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:54,600
"How are you feeling
about the two new players?"
404
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:59,320
I haven't had a good opportunity
to chat with the new players,
405
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,440
so I'm hoping Rachel has some insight
that she can share with me.
406
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,440
Message, "I've gotten the chance
to chat with Imani, and she is so dope."
407
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,080
"I told her my speculations about Carol,
and she was appreciative,
408
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,600
but clearly she's new
and didn't want to say too much."
409
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Love that. Okay. New message,
"That's great to hear about Imani."
410
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,240
"The more people who don't trust Carol,
the better IMO. Crying laughing emoji."
411
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,360
"I was shook
when Bru saved her over Alyssa."
412
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,600
"Bru and Alyssa had been flirting a ton,
so I thought Carol was a goner."
413
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,640
Dude, same.
414
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,400
Bru gives so little realness
415
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,200
that I have no actual clue
if he's playing a strategic game.
416
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,400
This is a very subtle way
for me to let Rachel know,
417
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,360
hey, you might need
to be a little wary of Bru
418
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,920
if Carol is wary of you.
419
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,000
That rhymed. [giggles]

Message, "Dude, yes! Exclamation point."
421
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,560
"I was shocked that he chose Carol,
422
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,280
especially because he knows
other people's suspicions of her."
423
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:12,040
"Not gonna lie, I've had a couple
really cool chats with Bru,
424
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:13,440
and I like him a lot,
425
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,640
but his relationship with Carol
gives me pause."
426
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,920
That is a great read, Rachel.
427
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
He does not trust you.
428
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Message, "Oh my God, same. Bru is my boy,
429
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,280
but his relationship with Carol
is a bit of a red flag."
430
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,400
"Carol is like the catfish
with nine lives."

00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,760
"I'm so, so, so glad
you and I are on the same page."

"Always here if you need to chat.
#MoveInBuddies."
434
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,320
Okay. Hell, yeah!
435
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,280
I'm so happy he feels this way
'cause I feel the same way about him too.
436
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960
Confirmed Nathan is an ally. Confirmed.
437
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,680
She remains on top,
undisputed, number-one ally.
438
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,600
I wish I rated him a little bit higher,
but there's always next time.
439
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600
We're not going home.
That's right, Nathan.
440
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,640
We're not going home.
Not today, Satan, not today.

[Michelle] It's afternoon in The Circle,
443
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,800
and the players
are entertaining themselves,
444
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,320
attempting not to cut themselves.
445
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,320
Please be careful.
446
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:23,400
And, um, talking to themselves.
447
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Things are good. You know.
Been cooking a lot. Went to the gym today.
448
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,080
Made friends
with a nice guy named Eversen.
449
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,360
Might have to take you on a cruise again
because Eversen seems to think that
450
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,280
he could change the tide on cruise.
451
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:35,440
No pun intended.
452
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,800
Miss you a little bit, Ma.
453
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,680
Hopefully, I'll see you soon,
but not, uh, too soon.
454
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,920
[Michelle] And Yu Ling and Imani are using
their time far more constructively.

00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Yeah, that's right, honey.
456
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,720
We got ourselves

Man, it's so crazy, like,
468
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480
the more conversations I have
talking like Imani,
469
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,200
the more it feels so much more natural,
like we've really become one.

Message, "Okay, so… Dot, dot, dot."
471

"I, like, somehow accidentally sent him
a picture of myself in a hot outfit
472
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,880
and don't know how."
473
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,680
Ooh! "Then he sent a photo back,
474
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,160
and this man has been hiding
a mountain of abs from me."
475
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,120
Ah! That's crazy. [laughs]

All right. All right. I mean…

"TBH, I didn't think
Nathan had that in him,
481
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,000
but I like that he went for it."

"BTW, I need to fill you in
on my conversation with Eversen

and slid all up in his DMs."

"All I had to say was
that I was in the hot tub,

and he was hooked. Laughing emoji."

Oh my God!
492
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,480
The fact that she's comfortable enough
to open up to me about her and Nathan,
493
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,160
that means I've gotta be playing
a pretty solid game.

[calm music playing]
495
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,280
[Michelle] As evening descends,
Rachel and Eversen are enjoying

00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,400
some fun reading and writing exercises
up in The Circle.

I am nervous.
I'm not done playing just yet.
502
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,440
What's going on, Circle?
Oh, man, it's ratings, isn't it?
503
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,040
"The ratings results are in."
All right, here it is, guys.
504
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:18,320
We find out, like,
where we stand in the game,
505
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,760
and hopefully our adversaries are
at the bottom,
506
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,680
and our alliances at the top.
507
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,760
[groaning]
508
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,800
-[exhales]
-This is the moment of truth.
509
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,800
"The top two rated players
will become influencers."
510
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Oh my God.
511
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,440
It would be fantastic
if I were an influencer
512
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,480
because I could just get rid of people
513
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800
that I know won't be helpful
to my game plan,
514
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,840
but I don't think it's gonna happen.
515
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,520
All right, eighth.
516
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,400
This is the first time
that I felt nervous in The Circle.
517
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,320
I've been playing, trying to stay
under the radar, seem non-threatening.
518
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,920
I just don't wanna be
the bottom of the ratings.
519
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,360
I don't wanna believe
that my game plan hasn't worked.
520
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,040
Just don't do it to me.
Just don't give me eighth.
521
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:05,720
If I'm in the bottom, like,
my heart's gonna sink.
522
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,280
I would be surprised if I were eighth,
but expect the unexpected.
523
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,200
-Come on, Circle. Tell me who it is.
-Mm-mm.
524
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,320
[music intensifies, stops]
525
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,560
[sad music playing]
526
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,280
[shouting] Yes! Yes! Oh my God! Yes!
527
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,360
Dude, I rated Momma Carol first,
and even that got her in eighth place.
528
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,520
That is not good.
529
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,280
How are we being rated so low?
It's just… Oh my God, dude.
530
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,960
I know she's gotta feel really, really,
really sick to her stomach at this point.
531
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,560
Definitely don't love that.
532
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,240
Kind of had a feeling
we weren't in a good spot.
533
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,200
I am so happy I'm not dead last.
534
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:52,600
It's really heartbreaking.
535
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,640
Well, if I'm in seventh,
mom and son packing up together. [laughs]
536
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,960
I think Bru is the closest with Carol.
537
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,000
Like, he kind of shot himself in the foot
with that a little bit.
538
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:05,200
It's not over yet.
539
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,360
Seven is on the low end.
540
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,720
Circle, tell me who's in seventh place,
but don't tell me it's me. Okay?
541
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,640
Baby, I wanna be far away
from that position.
542
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,640
I'd be really, really,
really stressed out.
543
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,080
I don't want this to be me.
544
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Please don't be me.
545
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,480
[music intensifies, stops]
546
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,280
Oh no!
547
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:31,160
No!
548
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,000
-Nathan!
-Nathan!
549
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,720
Oh, damn it.
550
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,320
Oh, my top two. There, one and two.
551
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,040
Oh, man. Nathan's got to be really upset
he's in seventh.
552
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,960
How is he so low?
553
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,800
It's not last place,
but that's really not good for my game.
554
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,360
[groaning]
555
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,440
That's rough.
556
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,240
Six. I don't want to be
behind door number six. No, ma'am.
557
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Three through six is like a wild card.
558
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,480
I need my allies to be up at the top now.
559
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,120
I… I wouldn't be shocked at anything.
560
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Don't be me.
561
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,680
Oh my God, it's me. Why? We are just…
we're doing something wrong.
562
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,760
Damn. That's someone
who I really thought would keep me safe.
563
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,160
New players just got here,
564
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,000
and they're already higher in the rankings
than you are?
565
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Look at us.
Three best friends at the bottom.
566
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,320
Least I'm with good company.
567
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,240
We haven't seen my name yet.
That's pretty cool.
568
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Where are the new players in this?
569
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Need to do better than fifth. All right?
I do not feel comfortable with that.
570
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,240
I wanna see myself further up,
even as a new player.
571
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,360
Fifth is, like, safe,
but it's not confident.
572
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,680
This has to be, like, Yu Ling or Rachel.
573
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Oh!
574
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Oh, I'm in fifth place.
575
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Eversen in fifth?
Nah, people are playing strategic, man.
576
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:04,320
I feel safe with Rachel, Yu Ling, Frank,
and Imani, I feel like will protect me.
577
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,080
I wouldn't be mad at fourth.
578
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,200
I feel a little bit better than fifth,
obviously, but I don't want fourth.
579
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,160
I really hope this is Frank.
580
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,400
Please be Rachel or Imani.
581
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,160
I'm surprised at every turn
that it's not me.
582
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,240
Oh, man.
583
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Dang.
584
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,480
Imani! Okay.
585
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,840
[squealing] Okay.
586
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,520
Oh!
587
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,040
Girl, call me Miss Cleo!
588
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,200
Frank, Yu Ling, we did it.
We got top three.
589
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Imani and Eversen hopped Carol,
Nathan, and I.
590
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,200
Her toga party must have been insane.
591
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,200
Top three. That's good.
592
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,240
Next one is the game changer.
Who it's gonna be?
593
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,200
Third place.
594
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Clearly, what I'm doing is working,
and that's fucking cool.
595
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,240
Please, please do not be me
behind door number three, please.
596
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,240
This tells us who the two influencers are.
597
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,480
[music intensifies]
598
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,240
-Rachel.
-Rachel.
599
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,440
Me!
600
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880
-[Frank screaming]
-Oh my God.
601
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,360
I'm so happy to see it.
602
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,880
I put my trust
in the right people, I think.
603
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,600
Ugh!
I wanted you to be an influencer so badly.
604
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,880
-[Frank screaming] Yes!
-Oh my God!
605
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
First and second.
606
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,480
It's me and Frank, baby.
607
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Frank number one. Yes, baby!
And me number two!
608
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,720
Frank is number one.
609
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,320
Bet you feel good.
I bet you feel great right now.
610
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,320
Safe again.
611
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Get it, Frank. Yes.
612
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Ah! I feel like I'm dreaming.
613
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,080
Nobody dislikes Frank.
He's just a great guy.
614
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,720
Mr. Nice Guy Frank tops the charts.
That is just shocking to me.
615
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,120
Oh my God!
616
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:13,600
Wow.
617
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,920
Look at that boy up there.
He did it again.
618
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
[Yu Ling roaring] Yes!
619
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Both influencers for the second time.
620
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,440
Come on, guys. I need y'all
to do the right thing tonight.
621
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Frank being in first place
after I gave him the antivirus yesterday,
622
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,000
I feel like I'm safe.
623
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,040
My game is in the hands of Yu Ling
with my awkward flirting. [chuckles]
624
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,280
I don't have the connections,
uh… [inhales]
625
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,520
…that I would've hoped
to have at this point.
626
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,560
Your boy's sinking like a rock.
627
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,560
Frank being first and Yu Ling being second
is whipped cream on top of shit.
628
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,040
I'm still at the bottom.
629
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,640
I don't know if we're out yet,
but we're very down.
630
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,960
[alarm blares]
631
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,400
[all] "Alert!"
632
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,480
We got another alert?
633
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440
These alerts make me wanna poop myself.
634
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,640
Oh no, what's going to happen?
Is this going to be… Oh no.
635
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,400
I feel good, girl. So what is it?
636
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,400
"It's now time for the influencers…"
637
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,040
"…to decide who to block."
638
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Oh, God.
639
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,120
"Frank and Yu Ling…"
640
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,360
-"…must go to the Hangout…"
-"…to make their decision." All right.
641
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,320
I just pray it's not Nathan.
642
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,240
Think smart, show mercy… [chuckles]
643
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,920
…and keep your buddy Bru around.
644
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,480
I would not be feeling good right now
if I were Carol.
645
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,880
My fate is in the hands
of Frank and Yu Ling,
646
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,880
and there's absolutely nothing myself,
or anyone can do about it.
647
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,640
[ominous music playing]
648
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,720
[Michelle] Influencers Yu Ling
and Frank are frequent flyers
649
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,120
up here in the Hangout,
so they know the drill.
650
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,200
Big entrance, then down to business.
651
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,760
[Yu Ling screaming]
652
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Girl, it feels good to be back.
653
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,520
I can't believe I'm an influencer again,
654
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,960
and I can't believe that I'm in here
with my baby bestie Frank.
655
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,080
[Michelle] But just before
they get too comfy cozy…
656
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,000
[alarm blares]
657
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,040
[all] "Alert!"
658
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,600
Wait, what?
659
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,400
I don't remember getting an alert
when I was in the Hangout the first time,
660
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,000
so I wonder what the hell this means.
661
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,200
"Tonight one player will be blocked
from The Circle."
662
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Something juicy's right around the corner.
I can feel it in my bones.
663
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,880
"But first, Frank and Yu Ling
must each choose…"
664
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,800
"…two players to save."
665
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,800
[dramatic music playing]
666
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,040
You never done it like this before, girl.
667
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:35,440
So we each need to choose two people
that we are saving.
668
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,400
So four players are gonna be saved
before the block.
669
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,000
What about the other two?
670
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,760
"The remaining two players
will be at risk of being blocked."
671
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,000
Any one of us could be going home.
672
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,240
You just got to hope your relationships
are ironclad and solid.
673
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,680
"Go to Circle Chat now."
674
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,720
Wait, we about to do it right now,
live in front of everybody?
675
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,120
I haven't even written my notes.
Oh my God.
676
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,680
I gotta… I gotta take my sweater off.
677
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,640
[all] Circle, take me to Circle Chat.
678
00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:08,920
I'm ready to rumble.
679
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,160
[music fades out]
680
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:13,920
[ominous music playing]
681
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,840
[Frank]
"Frank and Yu Ling, you must now reveal…"
682
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,080
"…who you would like to save." What?
683
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,280
All right, here we go.
[exhales] Moment of truth.
684
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,040
I'm sure I would've made a connection
with at least one of the two, if not both.
685
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,000
Make the right decision here.
Just make the right decision.
686
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,920
[Frank] "Frank, which player
would you like to save?"
687
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,520
There are actually a few players
that I definitely feel would save me,
688
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:44,640
so I just don't know
who I'm gonna go with first.
689
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:48,520
I hope he picks me. I don't know anymore.
I know nothing. You know?
690
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,880
One shot. One time, Frank.
Just have my back.
691
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,080
Circle, I've made my decision.
692
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,040
Oh my God. Frank's typing. Okay.
693
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,840
The first player I'm going to save is…
694
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,320
Snap, crackle, pop. Come on.
695
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,960
[exhales]
696
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,360
[shouting] Frank! I love you so…
697
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,360
I love you so much, Frank.
I just wanna cry.
698
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,160
Oh, man. Rachel, damn you.
I don't know how you do this.
699
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,000
You got a spell on people.
700
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,800
Frank is always honest to his heart.
That's why everybody loves Frank.
701
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,000
Frank and Rachel are close?
702
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,480
I had no idea.
703
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,360
I'm very glad to be able
to save my biggest alliance, Rachel.
704
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,400
"Yu Ling, which player
would you like to save?"
705
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,960
This is going to be interesting.
706
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,360
Nathan, Nathan, Nathan.
707
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,800
Yu Ling, do you look past our little bit
of a blip the other day with the virus,
708
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,840
and do you reconcile
709
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,120
and prove to me that this is still real,
and that we got something here?
710
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,320
I almost feel like
I need to show Imani that I'm loyal,
711
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,760
but I could also save Nathan
who I feel like is in love with me,
712
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,240
but then there's also Bru,
713
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:11,080
and I told Bru that what went down
in the antivirus blocking
714
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200
was just an absolute misunderstanding,
715
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,360
and I did not mean
for Alyssa to get blocked.
716
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,400
I don't know where the hell
this is about to go next.
717
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,520
Circle, I have made my decision.
718
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,960
-Here she is. She's typing.
-Oh my God. What is she typing?
719
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,080
Come on, Yu Ling.
720
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,960
Oh! She picked me. Thank you, Yu Ling. Oh!
721
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:39,520
Why Bru? What is going on?
722
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,440
It was important for me to make sure
that Bru knew I've got his back.
723
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,240
[Michelle] Yu Ling and Frank now have
just one more player each to save.
724
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,400
"Frank, which player
would you like to save?" All right, child.
725
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,760
Frank and I have been here since day one.
726
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,240
We've been influencers together.
Maybe that means something.
727
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,080
I feel like this player needs to know
that I have a sense of loyalty to them
728
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,600
so that they will be able to remember that
later in this game
729
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,680
and remember that I saved them.
730
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:18,240
If Frank doesn't say my name,
I'll be crushed, man. I'll be so crushed.
731
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,440
I am feeling a little worried now.
732
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,240
Circle, the player I want to save is…
733
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,040
[music intensifies]
734
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,400
[shouting] Yes! Yes! Yes, Frank!
735
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,800
Imani. Okay, that one at least
makes sense to me, Frank.
736
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,680
I knew he was gonna save Imani.
It's the right thing to do.
737
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,920
It definitely, uh… it definitely sucks.
738
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,800
I wish I had
a better relationship with Frank,
739
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,160
but take it in stride, and we keep going.
740
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,040
[Michelle] Three players are now safe.
741
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,520
Yu Ling has the final call
742
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,720
to keep either Nathan, Carol,
or Eversen from the blocking.
743
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,880
Oh my God! "The Circle. Yu Ling,
which player would you like to save?"
744
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,680
This is it. This is the last chance
to see whether or not you're safe.
745
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,080
One spot left.
746
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Right now, my game is to make sure
747
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,480
that there are people who stick up for me.
748
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,040
Yu Ling,
please do not let me down like this.
749
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,800
I need one of the Bru Crew members.
I need Carol, I need Nathan.
750
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,040
Show me one of their names. I'll be happy.
751
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,240
I'm gonna have a goddamn heart attack.
752
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,480
The next player I would like to save is…
753
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,280
[music intensifies]
754
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,240
[shouting] Yes! Oh my God! Yes!
755
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:46,080
Safe again. Oh, Yu Ling, thank you.
[laughing]
756
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,200
All right, honey.
757
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,120
Well, well, well.
758
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,080
That leaves me at risk of being blocked.
759
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,240
Eversen and I are at risk,
and that's okay.
760
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,600
That feels good.
761
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,600
For me, that was all about the heart.
762
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,240
"Carol and Eversen,
763
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,040
you are both at risk
of being blocked from The Circle."
764
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:17,160
Yes, Circle, I'm aware,
but thank you for making it clear.
765
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:21,000
Baby, I would not wanna see
that message right there, honey. Whew!
766
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,040
Is it just me,
or is it getting hot in here?
767
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,680
"You must now make a plea for survival."
768
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,680
Oh! Don't make me beg,
even though I ain't too proud to beg.
769
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:36,400
[screaming] Girl!
What kind of mess is this, girl?
770
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,200
All right. Well, if there's one thing
I'm good at, it's words.
771
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,440
This is my last chance
to put it all out on the table.
772
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,240
We're gonna fight,
we're gonna claw, we're gonna scratch.
773
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,080
It might not make a difference,
but we're gonna try. So let's do it.
774
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,280
Okay. I must plead my case.
775
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,040
It's now time
for a strongly worded letter.
776
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,160
Message, "Frank and Yu Ling,
I've thoroughly enjoyed y'alls energy."
777
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:08,120
"I understand how I got to this point,
778
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,480
and I understand the pressure on you guys
to make this decision…"
779
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,840
"…as I was in this position not long ago."
780
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,640
"I feel like I chose wisely."
781
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:20,480
"Our chemistry immediately made me feel
like part of our #CircleFam."
782
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,560
"I really don't want our fun to stop here.
#IveHadABlast."
783
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,720
"To be honest,
784
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,600
I haven't had the same amount of time
as other people to make connections."
785
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,240
Message, "I don't wanna leave."
786
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,880
"So humbly, I ask please, don't make me."
787
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,760
[Yu Ling] Oh, Eversen!
788
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,840
That's a good message.
It's just so positive and… upbeat.
789
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:47,240
That was a cute message.
790
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,640
I like how he made his message
very personable to Yu Ling and I.
791
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,920
Oh, man, y'all. If Eversen goes home,
that's so bad for my game.
792
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,240
If I was Frank,
I would feel like I owe Eversen one.
793
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,280
Him and Imani gave him
the antivirus software first.
794
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:07,720
I'm hopeful that my message
795
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,240
has done enough
to persuade them to keep me here.
796
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,600
[slow music playing]
797
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,480
[John] I'm shutting Carol off
for this one. This is all John.
798
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,880
When it's the last thing you could say,
799
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,040
you want it to be from you
and from the heart. So, here we go.
800
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,800
Message, "This game has been
801
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,000
the most incredible
and life-changing experience."
802
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,520
"I've built great relationships
with some of you,
803
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,160
and frankly, others I haven't."
804
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,440
"All of that said,
everything that I've said,
805
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,520
every friendship that I've made,
and everything that I've ever thought
806
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,120
has all come from the heart."
807
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,760
"I know this is a game, and sometimes
that has gotten the better of me,
808
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,440
but I've always been authentic
every step of the way."
809
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,600
Message, "Regardless of anything
that's ever been said about me,
810
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,120
you've all had a glowing impact on me."
811
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,040
"I'm a fighter, so I know I can get fiery,
but it comes from love."
812
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,840
"I love this group of people,
and I love this game."
813
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,160
"I still have so much more heart
and fight to give it."
814
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,680
I really like that message.
It seems really genuine,
815
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,920
and it seems like it, you know,
is really coming from the heart.
816
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,160
Dang, maybe she's a real mom
because she is so good with the words.
817
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:14,160
Love that. Love that.
818
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:18,080
She's being really honest here
about maybe her hiccups,
819
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:24,200
and what has happened and transpired,
and yet she leaves it on a positive note.
820
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,760
You know, at this stage,
we both put our hearts out there,
821
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,440
and anything could happen.
822
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:30,920
It's a waiting game.
823
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,640
[alarm blares]
824
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:36,080
[all] "Alert!"
825
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,640
I've had 89 alerts today.
What the hell is this all about?
826
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,680
"Carol and Eversen are both at risk
of being blocked from The Circle."
827
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,120
[Rachel] What?
828
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,800
"They must go to the Meet Room now…"
829
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,440
"…to await their fate"?
830
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:54,360
Huh?
831
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,240
Eversen and I are going
to the same room together.
832
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,880
This has never happened before.
833
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,840
All right, it's time
to go meet Christmas Carol.
834
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,600
I wish I had time to put on a…
a real shirt to meet my elder.
835
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,160
Eversen's the first one to find out if…
if Carol is real or not.
836
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,960
I'm just gonna make sure
I don't smell terrible
837
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,720
because I'm about to sit next to a person.
838
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,240
[Eversen] I feel, Circle, you're throwing
a lot of new things my way.
839
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,920
[dramatic music playing]
840
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:34,560
Ooh.
841
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,440
So this is what purgatory looks like.
842
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,480
I can't believe
that they are actually meeting,
843
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,000
because if either one of them
is not who they've been playing…
844
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,160
can you imagine?
845
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,200
[exhales] Okay.
846
00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:53,240
[dramatic music playing]
847
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:05,000
I really thought that I had sort of
an inkling as to who would be going,
848
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,600
but this is just really difficult.
849
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,040
I don't know even
what side I'm on right now, child.
850
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,680
I feel like I'm just here.
851
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,880
[music intensifies, fades]
852
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,680
[Eversen] Oh! Come on, man!
853
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,520
[theme music playing]
