00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,960
[Michelle] Previously…

00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:09,600
-Here we go!
-Here we go!
3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,560
Jared is the Spice Girls?
4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,000
Oh!
5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,200
"Their mission was a success"?
6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,280
[Michelle] The Spice Girls
were on the money…
7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,080
"The total prize fund is now…"
8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,560
-"…150,000 dollars"?
-"…thousand dollars"?
9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,640
-Oh my God!
-[laughs]
10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,840
[Michelle]
…as the bombshells kept coming.
11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720
"You must now deliver this news
face-to-face!"
12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,160
[suspenseful music playing]
13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,000
I'm so sorry. You're blocked.
14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,880
[Michelle] New players entered.
15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,320
In The Circle, baby!
16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Oh, snap!
17
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,800
[Michelle] Friendships were made…
18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,680
"Me, you and Alyssa…"
19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,560
"…will be kissing each other
on the mouth."
20
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,960
I do got this guy's back.
21
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,240
[Michelle] …and tested…
22
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Carol, any friendship she thought
we were gonna have, baby, it's done.
23
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,360
I'm gonna make up a lie
and make Alyssa play a little defense.
24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,200
[Michelle] …as a menacing virus…
25
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,960
"Cyberattack detected"?
26
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920
Where is a computer technician
when you need one?
27
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,920
"Any player left without the software
will be blocked from The Circle tonight"?
28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,040
"You must now decide…"
29
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,400
"…who to pass
the antivirus software on to."
30
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,520
…means game over…
31
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,880
for Carol or Alyssa.
32
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,920
This is a nightmare.
33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,920
[music fading out]
34
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,440
[dramatic music playing]
35
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,560
[Michelle] Bru must choose wisely.
36
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,080
With only one more antivirus
available to be passed on,
37
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,400
whoever he doesn't choose
38
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,160
will be blocked immediately
from The Circle.
39
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,400
Bru is gonna decide
whether or not he wants to be loyal,
40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,720
or if he wants to be strategic.
41
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,960
Oh, I'm gonna look like a dick, man.
There's no way out of this.
42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,680
There's no way out of this.
43
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,200
It's Alyssa or Carol.
44
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Bru and I have a relationship
in which he's promised me
45
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,160
that he's always gonna keep me safe.
46
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,000
We've talked about it. We are close.
47
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Unfortunately, with everything
that's gone on tonight,
48
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,880
you don't know
what relationships actually matter.
49
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Who helps me in the long run?
Oh no! That's the question, isn't it?
50
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Who helps me in the long run?
51
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,640
I so badly want to stay.
52
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,200
I just want to see my name pop up there.
53
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
[exhales] You got a big decision
to make, Bru.
54
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Oh!
55
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,360
Oh, I hate it so much!
56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,520
All right, Bru, moment of truth, man.
57
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Circle, the player that I'd like
to pass the antivirus on to is…
58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,600
[music intensifies, fades out]
59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Whoo! [shouting] Let's go!
60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,160
[whispers] Fuck!
61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,280
[sad music playing]
62
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,920
I'm so, like, disappointed.
63
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Carol?
64
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,560
Oh damn!
65
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,400
Holy shit!
66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Oh my God.
67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,360
[Bru] Why do I feel like
I just, like, committed a crime?
68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Oh!
69
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,000
Alyssa! Damn!
70
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,440
I was hoping that
there would be a chance that
71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,320
he and Alyssa
maybe had a stronger connection.
72
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,480
Look, her picture's gray!
73
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,360
[whispering] Oh, fuck.
74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,040
I am so confused.
75
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,440
I wasn't anticipating
that he would've saved Carol over Alyssa!
76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,240
Bru, what the hell?
77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,440
This has been the worst day.
We got viruses going around.
78
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Sent Alyssa home.
79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,200
[sighs]
80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,040
I'm gonna cry.
81
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,880
You beautiful bastard,
you restored my faith in trust.
82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Carol remains in the game.
83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,080
This is why you build these relationships.
84
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,640
You have to trust at least somebody
in this game.
85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,360
I'm so sad because both of, like,
86
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080
my two alliances completely…
87
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Like, my… my alliance fucked me over.
88
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
I can't believe they did that.
89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,520
That sucks.
90
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,240
[Yu Ling] Oh my God.
91
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,160
That's not how I wanted it to go at all.
92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,240
That was so, like… [sniffles]
93
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,200
…not cool of them.
94
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,280
I really wanted her to stay.
95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,160
I thought somebody was gonna pick her.
96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,800
I can't believe
it was Bru and Yu Ling separately.
97
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,800
[sniffles] Like, Yu Ling chose Rachel.
What the fuck?
98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,880
That it came down to us three is a bummer,
99
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,720
and that Alyssa is going home
is even more of an upsetting situation.
100
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,880
How? How could they do that?
101
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,240
I just had to go with the trust
that I had with Carol.
102
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,040
I think with Yu Ling
picking somebody else, I was like,
103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200
"Oh my God. That throuple thing
is not what I thought it was."
104
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,680
"Think I was being used."
105
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560
And if Carol was in my position,
if she got picked by Nathan,
106
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,920
I think she would've picked me.
107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,160
I don't… I don't know
if I can say the same about Alyssa.
108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,240
[Michelle] And after a blocking,
y'all know what a moody outside shot
109
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,680
of The Circle means.
110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,680
[alarm blares]
111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,840
"Alert!"
112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Oh, a regular alert.
113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Right now?
114
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,080
Come on, man! You been taking me
on an emotional roller coaster all day!
115
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,280
"Before Alyssa leaves,
she can meet one player."
116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,280
"Think about who you would like to meet."
117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Seeing Yu Ling would be interesting.
118
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,320
It's like that throuple
that just betrayed me.
119
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240
Feel like we need to talk
about why Bru just did her like that.
120
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,640
I mean, we both did her like that
in many ways.
121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,120
I don't know who she's more mad at.
122
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,760
I could meet Bru, but it sucks that,
like, we had an alliance,
123
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,480
and he still chose Carol over me.
124
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,480
I would be shocked
125
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,280
if Alyssa doesn't stop here
demanding some answers.
126
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,840
"Boom, boom, boom, boom.
What the hell's going on?"
127
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,280
I'm pretty sure Carol's a catfish.
128
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,960
So, it would obviously be
really interesting
129
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,240
to see who she actually is.
130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,040
If she walks in here
and realizes that the last spot was lost
131
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,600
to a 24-year-old dude
playing his mom in the game,
132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,560
and she is genuinely herself,
she might be pissed.
133
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,160
Let's do this. I am coming.
134
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800
"Alyssa is on her way
to meet one of you now."
135
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,160
Oy va voi!
136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,640
Oh, snap. Okay.
137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,560
Oh!
138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,960
[dramatic music playing]
139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Tea always helps,
tea always makes somebody feel calm.
140
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,200
My sign says, "How you Bru'in?"
She'll say, "Screw you, buddy."
141
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,120
I don't want her to know I'm a catfish.
142
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,000
She might want tea. Ha! I would spill it.
143
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Oh my God, I have so many dishes.
144
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,240
Child! Is my room and stuff messy?
145
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Alyssa? Good-looking girl. I believe
her to be who she says she is, so…
146
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,520
[gargles]
147
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,120
I'm just gonna hide.
148
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,640
Oh my God. This is a bad dream.
149
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,640
Feel like if I sit
with my back to the door,
150
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,320
maybe she'll think that,
because of my long hair, I'm Carol.
151
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,520
-Hello.
-Oh no.
152
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,960
-Alyssa, no!
-[squealing] Hello!
153
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,520
-Hi.
-No! If I hug you, you might slap me.
154
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,200
-Of course not!
-No!
155
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,760
-I'm so, so sorry.
-[laughs] It's okay.
156
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,640
I feel so bad!
157
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,600
[laughs]
158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120
-Feel free to sit down. Yes.
-I'm gonna sit down.
159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,320
-Okay, so, first things first…
-Yes.
160
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,160
-What the hell was this virus situation?
-Exactly.
161
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,360
I don't know, but I had a bad feeling
from the beginning.
162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,800
I was like,
"Some stuff's about to go down tonight."
163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,600
I did not like that at all.
I did not like that at all.
164
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,560
-Yeah.
-And no hard feelings.
165
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720
If I had to choose between me and Carol,
I would have a hard time too.
166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Yeah, the thing that threw me off
from the beginning was,
167
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,240
what was Yu Ling doing?
168
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,320
What happened to us?
169
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,120
When I saw, "Rachel,"
170
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,200
I literally have never cursed more
in my life.
171
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,520
I was like, "What the hell is that?
What happened to the throuple?"
172
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,440
She played me for a fool.
She played both of us for a fool.
173
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,800
Yeah, I feel it now.
174
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,200
Carol, I just had a deep feeling
175
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,160
that, like, if it came down to it,
I had 100% trust in Carol.
176
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,720
I was like, "I'm blocking my mom
or my girlfriend." It was so messed up.
177
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,000
So I think it just came down to the trust
I had in Carol.
178
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,960
-Yup.
-She would… she would have done the same.
179
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,400
And I believe
she's a catfish, [chuckles] like totally,
180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,160
but I don't care that much.
181
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520
If, like,
we're a great alliance, it's fine.
182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,760
I was like, "You know what?"
183
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,000
"Carol is 100% a catfish,
but I don't care."
184
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Yeah.
185
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,800
I was thinking about this.
I will say I did cry.
186
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,680
Oh no! God! I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
187
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,280
-No, no, it's okay.
-I'm guilt-stricken.
188
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,880
Listen. Listen. If I were you,
I would have chose Carol. Honestly.
189
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,080
Because Carol has portrayed herself
as being super trustworthy, super loyal.
190
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760
She showed you her loyalty.
I don't blame you. I really don't.
191
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,320

It's not me.
194

I guess I'm, like, kind of relieved,
195
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:42,000
but also, like,
she's probably pissed at me now.
196
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360
I wonder who she went to see, though.
197
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Sad to see you go, baby girl,
and I wish you nothing but the best.

that are, like, kinda shitty.

Oh, okay. I totally changed for you.

-I didn't. No.

-It's been bad.

I… I came in and couldn't say
nice enough things about him.
213

I was like, "I love the vibe.
We'd be great friends."
214
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160
But the question
when he got the Mr. Nice Guy thing…
215
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,880
-That wasn't me. I thought it was you.
-No!

-Who was yours?
-I got Nathan.

You did?
218
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,440
But it wasn't shade. It would tell me
right away if he was a catfish.
219

That's tough.
Like, the eagle thing is tough.

He's my bro now. We had a conversation
right before all this started.
221
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,960
We really clicked, and I said,
"I got your back." I think he's real.

-The golf question proved it.
-He's real.
223

-But that's the twist of it.

My final advice is focus on the people
that you know are loyal, like Carol.
232

Honestly, hang on to her,
233

she will give you that loyalty right back.

00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,160
That's who I know I gotta keep my eye on.
338
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320
I think this chat could get really heated.
339
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,080
So, let's get to it, huh?
340
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Message, "I'm so sad to see Alyssa go.
But, Bru, I do appreciate you saving me."
341
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,320
"Alyssa had told me
she had trusted so many people…"
342
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200
"Dot, dot, dot.
I'm shocked nobody chose to save her."
343
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720
That's right, Momma Carol. God dang it!
344
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,720
I don't know
if she trusted so many people.
345
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,400
I think there was,
like, one person in particular
346
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200
that she was expecting to save her.
347
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,640
I think Carol is throwing shade
at Yu Ling.
348
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Message, "The Circle chat feels
a lot more empty without Alyssa."
349
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,840
"She always brought the spice,
kept it real, and was 100% herself."
350
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,320
"I'm not gonna lie. She was
one of my strongest connections here,
351
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,600
and I wanted to save her so badly."
352
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,680
"A little surprised
she didn't come to see me
353
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,280
and slap me in my face. LOL."
354
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:19,320
Oh, that… that… My blood's boiling.
355
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,720
You say she's one
of your strongest connections
356
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,200
when she was somebody
who was here since day one,
357
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,960
we connected on, like, day one,
358
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,080
and you saved somebody
who came in a few days ago.
359
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,640
I just… I don't really believe
a word she's saying now.
360
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,080
This is… Like, there's just so much
phony shit going on.
361
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Message, "I miss
that beautiful face already."
362
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,960
"I was faced
with the impossible decision last night
363
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,160
of choosing
between my two favorite people,
364
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,480
and I did
what I felt was right deep down."
365
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,600
"Alyssa came and visited me last night."
366
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,600
"I thought she was gonna slap me,
but instead, she was an absolute joy."
367
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,320
[Yu Ling] "I'm so glad we're on good terms
368
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,200
and ended the night
with the biggest bear hug."
369
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,200
"Red heart. #AlyssaIMissYa."
370
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Well, at least we know
that Alyssa came to see Bru.
371
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Message, "Bru, I totally can see
how that was tough."
372
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,240
"But you've always gotta
follow your heart."
373
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,120
"So damn glad that virus is gone. LOL."
Send.
374
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,840
Message, "Bru,
I definitely didn't envy you last night."
375
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,200
"I really thought Alyssa had more people
to have her back. #AbsolutelyGutted."
376
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,000
"But so happy you got to meet
that hottie in person. Fire emoji."
377
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,200
Yu Ling is like, "Bru,
Alyssa needed her knight in shining armor,
378
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,240
and where were you last night?"
379
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,160
So Yu Ling's trying to throw the attention
back onto Bru.
380
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,000
Yu Ling's a little mastermind here.
She is diverting this whole thing.
381
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,400
I don't play dirty
unless you give me a reason to play dirty.
382
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,080
And even then, I'm just keeping it real.
383
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Like, this is me saying,
"Get your act together
384
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,680
because I see everybody for who they are,
and if nobody else can see that,
385
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,360
get some fucking glasses."
386
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Message, "I can't help but feel like
387
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960
a lot of trust has left our group
after this virus. Period."
388
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,360
"I'm sure making the decision
to save someone isn't easy,
389
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,560
but seeing how everything unfolded
really shows a lot to me."
390
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Oh my God!
391
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,760
Oh my God!
392
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:20,440
Girl, let it go, girl.
393
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,200
This is a game.
394
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,360
You cannot trust everybody.
395
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,120
And people don't even feel like
they can trust you.
396
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,160
I like this side of Carol!
397
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,680
Message, "Carol, read the room.
We're all hurting that Alyssa is gone."
398
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,520
[sighs] "Given the gravity
of what we all had to do last night,
399
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,480
I don't think it defines who is
and who isn't trustworthy."
400
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760
"#LeadWithYourHeart."
401
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,000
[laughing]
402
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Oh my God, Yu Ling!
403
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,680
"…defines who is
and who isn't trustworthy."
404
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,080
It most definitely does.
It most definitely does.
405
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,480
Hey, Yu Ling, grow up. Message…
406
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:06,320
Oh, Carol's typing! Carol's responding.
This could be the start of a Circle war!
407
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
"Neither Alyssa or I had
to make any decision. Period."
408
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,880
"Would've been interesting
to see who she would've saved."
409
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600
"But she didn't get the chance." Oh!
410
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,880
Shots fired!
411
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,960
[imitating siren]
412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Call the medic!
413
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,320
Carol, you are an aficionado
with words, 100%.
414
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,000
Carol's basically saying,
"Alyssa would have saved you, Yu Ling,
415
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,680
but you didn't save her."
416
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,800
I did not anticipate
being so catty in the chat.
417
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,680
But if there is one thing
I have learned throughout all of this,
418
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,240
it's to not be quiet.
419
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000
I'm glad we're ending on that mic drop.
Internalize that feeling, Yu Ling,
420
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,320
because you're the one
who has to feel like crap.
421
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,400
You have to know a friend is gone
because you made a decision.
422
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,520
And that is the end of Alyssa.
God, that hurts.
423
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,480
I love it, love it, love it.
What a great start to my morning!
424
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:06,760
People are fighting,
and Nathan is chilling. [laughing]
425
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,200
[Michelle] Chaos and breakfast?
Wow! You just eating it all up.
426
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,960
[chill music playing]
427
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,720
It's afternoon in The Circle,
428
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,080
and after all those tactics,
Rachel's finally relaxing
429
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,240
with a tactical board game.
430
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,080
I would probably be… the knight.
431
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,640
[Michelle] And it seems like
she's also talking Circle tactics.
432
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,480
An effective player,
433
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,360
but really can only move
in certain directions.
434
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,920
Doesn't have full reign of the board yet.
435
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,880
Look at this.
436
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,840
We have two new players
437
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,440
whose connections
are completely up for grabs right now.
438
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,440
This is good.
439
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,840
[Michelle] While Nathan hashes things out,
440
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,920
someone wants to do the same with Bru.
441
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,280
Good luck, my dude.
442
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,080
[screen chimes]
443
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,160
Oh God.
444
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,080
Oh, Yu Ling.
445
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,040
"Yu Ling has invited you
to a private chat."
446
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,680
[groans] What do you want,
Yu Ling? [laughs]
447
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,400
Can't you let me heal for a second?
448
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,400
All right.
449
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,880
[suspenseful music playing]
450
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,360
Circle, take me
to Yu Ling's private chat, please.
451
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,880
I wanna talk to Bru
452
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,800
because I don't want him to just be like,
"Yu Ling is the worst person ever."
453
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,960
And I kinda wanna just know
where his head was at
454
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,840
as to why he then decided
to save Carol instead of Alyssa.
455
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,080
What the hell happened?
456
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,280
He's probably thinking
the same thing to me.
457
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,760
Message, "Hey, love."
458
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,720
"I know last night was brutal,
pun intended, in parentheses."
459
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
"I've been in your shoes,
so I understand how heartbreaking
460
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,560
that decision was to make for you."
461
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,040
"Alyssa was in our throuple
and trust bubble,
462
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,000
so I want you to know it was
just as painful for me to see her go."
463
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,120
Message, "I know
you may have both been shocked
464
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,320
at who I chose
to pass the antivirus on to last night."
465
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,200
"But I was really banking on
the ripple effect
466
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,480
saving those I cared about most."
467
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,360
"To be honest, I'm super confused
as I was so confident you would save her."
468
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,760
"I understand I may be coming
from a place of compromised trust."
469
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,440
"I wanna gauge where your head is at
and how you're doing. Heart emoji."
470
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,600
It's like she's flipping it onto me.
471
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
[mocking voice] "I thought you were gonna
save her. I thought you…"
472
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,880
What if I didn't get saved?
Why would you risk that?
473
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,240
Message, "Hi, Yu Ling.
I'm just as confused as well."
474
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,160
"I think the difference was that
I knew the seriousness of the situation."
475
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,920
"And that I had to absolutely pick
someone I trusted completely."
476
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,800
"I was shocked with your pick."
477
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,480
"I thought the #Throuple
was the strongest alliance in here."
478
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,120
Bru, "When you picked somebody
other than myself or Alyssa,
479
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,360
my trust in the throuple and the strength
of that alliance was in question."
480
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,200
"That's why I ultimately decided
on Carol."
481
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,200
"Where did the Rachel thing come from?
Question mark."
482
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,360
Mm-hmm.
483
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,000
My trust and my loyalty lies with Frank.
484
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,480
And yesterday I had to earn Frank's trust
by choosing Rachel.
485
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:03,280
Message…
486
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,400
"I chose Rachel
because I knew I was early on,
487
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,640
and thought she would be most at risk
since she's a new player."
488
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,520
"I had full faith she would've chosen
either you or Alyssa,
489
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,960
and the #Throuple would have
still been intact." I don't buy that.
490
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,960
When did they start a bond so strong
that it outweighed the throuple?
491
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,560
Message, "I just think
saving your closest people
492
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,680
was the only way to go about
last night's antivirus blocking."
493
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240
"It was too much of a risk
playing a strategy game
494
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,960
in hoping your 'strongest alliances'
made it through."
495
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,200
"I'm still really glad
you're here, though."
496
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,800
"Where does this leave us?"
497
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,320
I 100% understand
where Bru is coming from.
498
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Like, I… I knew that choosing Rachel
would have caused that upset.
499
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,520
Message, "I hear you completely."
500
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,680
"I did what I felt was right
in the moment and followed my heart."
501
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,400
"I'm so glad you're here too."
502
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840
"I want you to play your game
as true to your gut as possible."
503
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,520
"Follow your instincts
and trust yourself."
504
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,320
"You still got a bestie in me,
parentheses if you want it. LOL."
505
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,760
"I can only hope this context repairs
a bit of the broken bridge between us."
506
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,440
"#IBelieveInBru. #BruGotThis.
#ImCruisingForABruising."
507
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,880
Which I still think is garbage… [laughs]
508
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,520
…that she, like, only saved Rachel
'cause she thought she'd be blocked,
509
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760
but I do think there's a chance
to repair this a little bit,
510
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,920
at least for my game.
511
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Message, "Yu Ling, I appreciate
you reaching out and adding this context."
512
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,240
"Me opening up to you the other day
was my way of showing that I trust you,
513
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,680
and I think we can still have
that connection if you want. LOL."
514
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,040
"I told you I thought
we'd be besties in real life,
515
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,000
and I still mean that in The Circle."
516
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,680
"#YuGotAFriendInMe. #CantLiveWithoutYu."
517
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,120
[gasps, sighs]
518
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,080
So he really was being genuine.
519
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,080
This feels sincere to me.
520
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,280
I think we can still have that connection.
I really do.
521
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,880
[relaxed music playing]
522
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,960
I'm being nicer than I…
I feel I should be.
523
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,000
I'm just trying
to repair this relationship,
524
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,880
at this point, for the sake of my game.
525
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,760
I feel like Yu Ling
has got a lot of support.
526
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,520
She'll probably be an influencer.
527
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,720
So I hope she takes that
as she can still trust me as well.
528
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,560
Any reservations I had lingering with Bru
are out the window,
529
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,120
because him opening up to me
was his way of showing that he trusts me.
530
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,920
And that fully feels so good.
531
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,240
[upbeat music playing]
532
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,400
[Michelle] After a fiery goodbye message
from Alyssa and a heated group chat,
533
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,880
there's one word to describe
the temperature in The Circle right now.
534
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:46,800
Hot!
535
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,800
[Michelle] Let's send something in
that will make them even hotter.
536
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,360
[screen chimes]
537
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,320
-"Fast Food"?
-Oh!
538
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,640
What does that mean?
539
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Y'all bringing me some fast food?
Y'all got my favorite fast food? Hey!
540
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Oh, I'm ready for a game.
I need this in my life.
541
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,880
Okay, we have a peach
and an eggplant emoji.
542
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,120
We all know what that means. [giggles]
543
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,920
I do love fast food, honey.
544
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,680
"Players, it's time to stand up
and get those feet moving…"
545
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,840
"…as you take part
in The Circle's Fast Food race."
546
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Oh God.
547
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,720
Oh, I'mma win. I'm definitely gonna win.
548
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,920
Hoping this doesn't expose Nathan
549
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,720
as not as much of a fitness junkie
as he claims to be.
550
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280
[Michelle] Players will be split
into Team Eggplant and Team Peach.
551
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,600
What?
552
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,840
It's legit an eggplant! [laughs]
553
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,960
[Michelle] Clue's in the title, honey.
554
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,200
On Team Peach is Bru,
Carol, Eversen, and Frank.
555
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,360
It's giving peach, peach. Shit.
556
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,720
[Michelle] And Team Eggplant, we have
Imani, Nathan, Rachel, and Yu Ling.
557
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,480
This eggplant is one Yu Ling.
That is gonna be a struggle for her.
558
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,120
Okay. Yeah!
559
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,480
[Michelle] The teams are ready.
Now all they gotta do
560
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,120
is attach their step monitors
and start running.
561
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,520
They'll try to win for their team
but also not give their game away.
562
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,040
Lookin' at you, catfish.
563
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:10,600
[shouting] Team Eggplant!
564
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,400
[Michelle] The team that runs the furthest
combined distance gets a trophy.
565
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,280
I'm gonna do a combination
of real sport and slight cheating.
566
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,360
"On your mark."
567
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,800
[snarls] I'm already set!
568
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,120
-[Trevor] Let's get it!
-"Go!"
569
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,320
Okay.
570
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,040
[Alex] Whoo! [panting]
571
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:35,280
Carol, Frank, Eversen,
come on! Pick it up!
572
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:37,760
I gotta keep, like,
a respectable Carol pace.
573
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,440
This is super hard!
574
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,560
Pretty sure Bru will take our team.
He seems like he's in very good shape.
575
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,440
Oh, I'd love to see the other team
right now. Lugging around a big eggplant.
576
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360
We can make a dance out of this. Bow! Bow!
577
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:57,560
I need to prove [panting]
that Nathan is into fitness.
578
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,000
Yu Ling's little feet better be like…
[trills]
579
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,560
Frank, I hope
you're getting your march on too.
580
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,280
I don't like to lose!
581
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,320
Somebody check on Christmas Carol!
582
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,600
I think we're at a good pace
for Carol pace right now.
583
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,560
This is the longest eggplant
I've ever encountered in my life.
584
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,600
I'm on a roll! Turn around and stroll.
585
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,000
"Five minutes to go!"
Pick it up, Team Peach!
586
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Ma, it's the last five minutes.
You're comin' with me.
587
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,120
Well, I better give it my all.
588
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,680
This is the best workout I have gotten
in over ten years.
589
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,840
I'm not stoppin' till that timer's up.
590
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,160
[burps] I'mma throw up.
591
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,000
[Eversen vocalizes]
592
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080
-"Time's up."
-"Time's up!" All right, Ma. We did it.
593
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,360
[groans] Great job, Team Peach.
594
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,160
Ah! Nice taste of victory.
595
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,320
[playful music playing]
596
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,720
-[Alex] All right. "The results are in."
-"The results are in."
597
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,320
Come on, Team Peach!
598
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,280
Team Peach, let's go, baby!
599
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,480
[Michelle] Hold up,
'cause before those team results,
600
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,160
the players are gonna each learn
the distance they ran individually.
601
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,440
I am just hoping
I didn't make a fool of myself.
602
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,640
[Michelle] For Team Eggplant,
Yu Ling is told she ran 1.08 miles.
603
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,760
Rachel sees she covered 0.64 miles.
604
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,960
That feels like a lot.
605
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,880
[Michelle] Nathan did 0.45.
606
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,800
[grunting]
607
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000
And Imani,
aka the personal trainer Trevor,
608
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440
ran 0.41 miles.
609
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,280
For Team Peach,
Everson is told he covered 0.57 miles.
610
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,840
I like it!
611
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,280
[Michelle] Bru, 0.54 miles.
612
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,960
What? Only half a mile?
613
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,840
[Michelle] Carol, 0.52 miles.
614
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,760
Oh.
615
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,280
[Michelle] And Frank, 0.37 miles.
616
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,400
Shit.
617
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,200
[Michelle] Now,
we reveal each team's results,
618
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,320
but individual records
will remain anonymous…
619
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,000
Come on, Team Peach!
620
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,000
…which may be a relief to some.
621
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480
I'm not naming names,
but I'm talking about you, Nathan.
622
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,360
We did two miles.
Wow! Someone did more than me.
623
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,560
I'm gonna guess Eversen.
624
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,320
Peach one. [grunting]
625
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Point 52, I think
my mom could've achieved that.
626
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,040
I was the only one
that was really far behind.
627
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,240
But I just don't see
628
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,040
how a 63-year-old woman
did more walking than me.
629
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600
I'm hoping we've done enough
to beat Team Eggplant.
630
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,360
-All right, I feel like we can beat that.
-Okay, moment of truth.
631
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,360
-[Trevor] Whoa!
-[Rachel] Wow!
632
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Yo! I carried our team!
633
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,520
Oh my God.
1.08 miles, that has gotta be Nathan.
634
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,800
Okay, if they literally think
that Nathan ran 1.08 miles,
635
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,040
I'm gonna be so mad.
636
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,520
"Therefore with an extra distance
of 0.58 miles covered…"
637
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,520
"…Team Eggplant are the winners!"
638
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,360
-We won. We won. No thanks to Nathan.
-Whoo-hoo!
639
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Congrat-- Oh, I can't clap. Oh.
640
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,600
Well played. Great game.
641
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,520
"Team Eggplant, your trophies are ready
to collect now!"
642
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,040
-"Now!"
-"Now!"
643
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,520
[Yu Ling gasps, giggles]
644
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:20,240
I will cherish this
for the rest of my days.
645
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,200
[shouting] Fast Food race champions!
Team Eggplant!
646
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,880
Obviously, coming out of this
as a bruised peach,
647
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,440
it just hurts.
648
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,920
I find it real interesting
649
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,200
that all the other peaches were close,
Carol, Bru, Eversen.
650
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,200
I feel like Carol should've been
a little slower
651
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640
if she's really a 63-year-old woman.
652
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,760
I just don't see it.
653
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,960
[Michelle] Nathan is using downtime
after the game
654
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:52,320
to remind himself of who he is,
or at least, who he's pretending to be.
655
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,360
Nathan is a golfer.
656
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,400
So I need to make sure
I remember these terms
657
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:06,040
and keep them in the proper order
because I almost slipped up big-time.
658
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,600
[Michelle] Elsewhere in The Circle,
someone's teeing up a group chat.
659
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,480
[Rachel] I wanna start a group chat
with Imani and Yu Ling.
660
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,960
And I think this is a good opportunity
for all of us to just kind of like,
661
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,120
connect, and meet, and have a little fun.
662
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,200
[screen chimes]
663
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,920
Oh!
664
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,080
"Rachel has invited you to a group chat"?
665
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,480
Circle, take me
to Rachel's group chat, please.

[lighthearted music playing]

00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,520
Ah. Yu Ling. Hey, okay!
668
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,880
I'm feeling like Yu Ling
is really a powerful player in this game.
669
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Obviously, she's got a relationship
with Rachel.
670
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Frank saved her yesterday.
So she's got a relationship with Frank.
671
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,480
I gotta move really smart here.
672
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,200
Just a girls' chat. I love that.
673
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,000
Message, "My Eggplant ladies.
Eggplant emoji."
674
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,080
"Good job bringing home that win today."
675
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,400
"I wanted all of us
to get in a chat together
676
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,720
because Imani,
I loved your energy when we spoke,
677
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,840
and Yu Ling is one
of my absolute favorite people in here."
678
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,000
"I just really thought
y'all would vibe off each other."
679
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,880
Oh! [shouting] Rachel!

That win felt so good."
681
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,120

to see an eggplant emoji in my life."
682
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,520
"Crying laughing emoji."
683
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,360
Message, "LOL, Imani. So true."
684
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,040

at all costs because… Dot, dot, dot."
685
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,320
"…are we still dating men
in this economy?"
686
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,040
"Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Crying laugh emoji."

Message, "At this point, girl,
I have my days
688
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,480
where I'm just about ready to give up
on all men. Laughing face emoji."
689
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,560

is looking foine in his profile pic."
690

[screaming]
691
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:51,880
As soon as I saw Eversen's profile,
he's, like, the perfect guy for Imani.
692
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,960
I think he could be Imani's biggest,
biggest, biggest ally
693
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,480
just on the strength of flirting alone.
694
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Message, "Imani,
have you talked to him one-on-one yet?"
695
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,360
"Should Rachel and I play matchmaker?"
696
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,800
Oh, I love that.
I'm here to play matchmaker.
697
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,360
That's literally in my blood.
698
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,720
I'm gonna be really, really,
really smart about this.
699
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,480

already had a chance to talk,
701
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,760

I like where this is going."
702
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,080

And send.
703
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,840

Message, "Yu Ling, how's the chat
with Nathan these days?"
705
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,320
"Was that just jokes? Because if…"
706
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,240
"…not, I lowkey love it!"
707
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,880
This is good. Like, I'm liking this.
708
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,920
It's, like, fun to talk about girly shit
with girls.
709
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,280
Message, "Rachel, so originally,
it was kind of all jokes,
710
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,520
but then suddenly he gave me attention,

[mocking] She like her some Nathan!
715
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,480
Go for it,
716
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,080
but don't be upset when you find out
717
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,840
you're talkin' to Nathan's dad
or something like that.
718
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,400

Message, "The guys here are lovely,
733
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,280
but I just haven't felt that,
stars emoji, pull, stars emoji."
734
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,880
I like Rachel.

00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,320
I think she's adorable.
Message, "Aw, Rachel, boo,
736
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,760
I know nobody comes
in The Circle looking for love."
737
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,240
"But what's your type?"
738
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:16,880
Mm-hmm.

00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,800

"Crying laughing emoji." Send.
742
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,160
[laughs] It's so true,
and it's so embarrassing.
743
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:32,360
Ha, ha! Aw.
744
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,280
I am very fluid in my sexuality.
745
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,880
It's really, for me,
about, like, a spiritual connection,
746
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,440
an emotional connection.
747
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,960
Message, "I'm so happy
we all got to connect tonight."
748

Message, "Rachel, I couldn't agree
with you more."
752
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,800
"This was the chat my spirit needed."
753
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,080
"Let's do this again. Heart emoji."
754
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,960
[squealing]
755
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,720
[inhales] That makes me so happy.
756
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,680
This is, like,
my first actual, like, all-female chat.
757
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,720
They do not think
they're talking to a guy at all.
758
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,640
Great job, Trev. Great job.
759
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,200
[upbeat music playing]
760
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,440
[Michelle] It's evening in The Circle,
and Bru is pushing himself
761
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,840
to his ultimate athletic limit.
762
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:35,600
Good.
763
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,880
[Michelle] Frank, true to form,
is being just a little bit extra.
764
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,560
[screaming] Score, baby! Yes, sir!
765
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,800
[Michelle] And while Frank
is giving Mariah Carey
766
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,000
a run for her money,
767
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,080
Eversen's about to hit up
our own Circle diva.
768
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,760
I wanna talk to Carol.
769
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,400
I wanna let her know
that I'm glad she's still here.
770
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,000
They tried to call her a catfish,
771
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,880
and she snatched that catfish comment up
and fried it, baby. So, I like that.
772
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,040
So, you know what?
Circle, invite Carol to a private chat.
773
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,200
[screen chimes]
774
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,560
"Eversen has invited you
to a private chat."
775
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,440
Oh, this is huge!
776
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:11,880
Let's talk, Eversen.
777
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,280
Let's get a deal made,
778
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,760
and let's make sure
that you and I both feel safe
779
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,040
if either one of us ends up
on top of this game.
780
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,800
Message, "Christmas Carol!"
781
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,440
"Exclamation point.
Smiley face with the teeth out."
782
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,680
"During the photo leak, someone tried
to accuse you of being a catfish,
783
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,160
and I loved the way you handled it."
784
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,480
[John] "When you spoke about being
yourself, that resonated with me."
785
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,560
"I really wanted to save you last night.
However, it had to be a joint decision."
786
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,320
This is an absolutely stellar start.
787
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,840
He's buying what I'm selling.
So, that makes me feel really good.
788
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,640
It makes me feel like
he thinks I'm exactly who I say I am.
789
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:47,600
Message, "Christmas Carol!
Exclamation point."
790
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,240
"I absolutely adore that. I appreciate
you saying you wanted to save me."
791
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,920
"I'm so happy that I'm still here,
792
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,600
and I'm sure making that decision
was very difficult."
793
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,200
"Regardless, I'm glad to get a chance
to get to know you better."
794
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,880
I feel like it makes her feel
that her words were heard.
795
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,520
They didn't fall on deaf ears.
796
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,200
And me being new lets her know
797
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,520
that this is the impression
that she's made on me.
798
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,680
Message, "I see you with a glass of wine."
799
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,200
"Do you have any drunk stories?
Laughing face emoji."
800
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,840
You know, my mom, she's been known
to have her glass of wine
801
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,760
every now and again.
802
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,920
So, we could definitely
have a good story here.
803
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
We could have a good chat.
804
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,160
Judging by this picture,
she was probably like,
805
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:28,920
"Me and my husband,
we were out at this bar,
806
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,360
visiting our family over in Italy,
and we hadn't been there in so long,
807
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,320
and the… the wine there's so much stronger
'cause it's made right there."
808
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,120
Message, "As a matter of fact,
I do have a pretty good drunk story
809
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,960
if I do say so myself. Winky-face emoji."
810
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,160
"My family and I were on a trip"
What did I say? [laughs]
811
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:50,400
What did I tell you?
812
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,400
I told you she was gonna be on a trip
to Italy! Oh my God!
813
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,480
Message, "I thought the waiter was cute,
so I tried to set him up with my daughter,

"After our meal, I snuck a quick selfie
with the waiter's butt,
816
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,760
and sent it to my family
that was sitting at the table with me
817
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,440
with the message, quote,
'Cute waiter's butt,' end quote."
818
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,840
"We went back to the restaurant.
He remembered me and…"
819
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,800
"…started pointing at his butt."
820
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:25,080
"Hilarious!"
821
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,720
"I'm so glad I get to chat with you.
I knew you were gonna be fun."
822
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,640
"If I had a nickel
823
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:32,760
for every cute butt picture
that's been taken of me,
824
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:36,240
I'd be a millionaire.
Laughing face emoji."
825
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,320
That's so funny, dude, like…
826
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,560
I'm glad that we're bonding like this
over butts, I guess. I don't know.

00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,480
Yeah. That's my… Oh!
That's my new hashtag.

I feel like I've definitely made an ally
out of Carol tonight.
842
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,960
All I know is I got Eversen now,
makes my alliance a group of three people.
843
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,120
We are so close to controlling
at least half of the game,
844
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,280
and if we can do that,
we are marching to the end.
845
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,160
[Michelle] Looks like catfish Carol
is already popping that Chianti, honey.
846
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,400
And Frank's in high spirits too,
847
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,000
as he hits up Imani
after she saved him yesterday.
848
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,080
[screen chimes]
849
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,080
"Frank has invited you to a private chat."
Let's see what he got to say.
850
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,880
[Frank] I am a girl's type of guy.
851
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,800
So I know that the two things
that a good ol' girl like
852
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:09,000
is a good ol' glass of wine or a drink,
and you telling them how fine they are.
853
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Message, "Baby, I have been waiting
to catch up with you."
854

"Hands to the sky emoji."
855
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,160
"First, thank you so much
856
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:19,280
for extending me the antivirus software
along with Eversen."
857
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,240
"I owe you and him both
a good ol' glass of wine."
858
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,280
"Second, you are absolutely gorgeous."
859
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,480
"And I knew we were gonna get along
like two peas in a pod."
860
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,080
"How is everything going
in The Circle for you?"
861
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:36,120
The pure, genuine side of him is just
coming right through the screen at me.
862
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,520
Like, I really like Frank.
863
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,320
Message, "Hey, boo."
864
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,280
"I have been literally dying
to talk to you."
865
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,120
"It was such an easy decision
for Eversen and I."
866
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,480
"You are a whole mood,
867
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,040
and you made a great impression
on the two of us."
868
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,920
Well, baby, thank you!
869
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,600
Message, "When I first got here,
my head was spinning."

And I know that's right.
874
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,080
I know my kind of girl.
I know, and that's her, period.
875
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,680
I would love
to see Imani and Frank go out.
876
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,920
We'll probably light the city up!
877
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,240
Message, "Wow. I am so glad you are here."
878

Ah, here we go.
Frank wants to get into relationship talk.
885
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,120
When it goes into how Imani talks
or what she says,
886
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,160
I'm like,
"Okay, how would maybe my wife say this?"
887
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:49,360
But there's also the human feeling aspects
of it, where it's gotta be me
888
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,080
because otherwise,
it won't come through as genuine.
889

I don't have time for these dudes."

at this point in my life

Anybody special in your life?"

If you don't like this guy,
you don't have a soul. That's how I feel.

Imani, I am so thankful for you.

That was our first chat,
and I'm sure it will not be our last.

As I talk to people,
929
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,800
and, you know, I… I… I say certain things
that make them feel a connection to Imani,

they have no clue that I'm back here,
pulling strings.

If I do feel bad, it's only for a second.

I may look different,
but I feel everything,

00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,720
[laughing nervously]
991
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,040
What have I gotten myself into?
992
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,360
[Michelle] Come on, boy.
You know what you've gotten yourself into.
993
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,000
Don't leave the lady waiting.
994
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:50,760
Uh, Circle, take me to my private albums.
995
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,800
Let's check out Muscles Galore.
996
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,080
I'm thinking maybe the middle one.
997
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,560
Message, "Goddamn!"
998
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,120
"Since you are in the sharin' mood,
999
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,240
here's something for you." Send.
1000
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,600
Ah! What the hell? What the hell?
Circle, open that goddamn photo!
1001
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:15,800
[shouting] What the hell?
1002
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:22,200
[chuckling]
1003
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:27,360
I have not flirted like this
in my life in a long time.
1004
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,480
If that means she wants
to keep Nathan around longer,
1005
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,920
that is perfect for me.
1006
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,560
[clears throat]
1007
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:39,560
Message, all caps, "Sheesh!"
1008
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,280
"You mean to tell me you've been hiding
this photo the entire time?"
1009
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,360
Oh my God. What?
1010
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:53,640
[sighs] All right. Message, "I'm not sure
how I'm supposed to sleep after this,
1011
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:59,640
but I know I'll be dreaming of you.
Devil emoji." Send.
1012
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:03,360
Message, "I can't wait… Dot, dot, dot."
1013
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,920
"I know those will be very sweet dreams,
but mine might be a little dirty."
1014
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:13,920
"Guess I'll have to stop calling you baby
and start calling you daddy. Good night."
1015
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,080
Ah!
1016
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,760
I think I might have just gotten myself
a little Circle boyfriend.
1017
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,800
This is what we gotta do, play the part.
1018
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,400
Poor Yu Ling.
1019
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,160
If she's really into Nathan,
1020
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:34,200
she is not gonna be happy
to figure out he's not real.
1021
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,480
