["Blue Monday" by New Order playing]
2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,360
[Michelle] Good morning.
3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,520
Last night's portrait game reached
new levels of shade in The Circle, honey!
4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,440
Good morning, Circle!
5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:20,440
Good morning, Circle.
6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,760
[Michelle] And Yu Ling's starting the day
like all the best troubled artists.
7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,880
Good morning, Circle!
8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Guess who had haunted dreams
about that portrait last night?
9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,280
This girl.
10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,480
It seems like people are really trying
to throw some doubt out there,
11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,600
and have people really question
their connections and relationships,
12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,840
which is great for my game.
13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,360
After the chat Frank and I had last night,
14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,000
I did throw Bru pretty hard to the wolves.
15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,240
I will do whatever I gotta do.
16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,960
I still cannot believe that Bru tried
to say negative things about me.
17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,640
So I really don't know
if Nathan felt like it would be strategic
18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,160
to show me his cards.
19

[Michelle] And while the others
start the day with their morning routines,
22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,440
Frank has decided
he wants to start his with a chat.

Oh! "Frank has invited you to a…"
26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000
"…group chat!"
27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,240
I'm not sure if I'm gonna tell them
about the situation
28
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,880
where Nathan told me about some things
that Bru has said about me.
29
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,480
I just don't wanna bring
that negative energy to my girls.
30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,960
So I just want to check in,
see how they're feeling,
31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
and make sure the girls are all good.

"I wanted to hug y'all so bad
after last night," with a heart emoji.
38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200
That was a hot mess, honey.
39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Like, it was actually insane
what they did.
40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,520
Message, all caps,
"Frank and Rachel, my two besties."
41

this morning and chatting with y'all."
42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
"So, obviously, I'm amazing."
43
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,880
"Not gonna lie, though."
44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,440
"I was in my feelings yesterday
about those portraits."
45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
"Why did they have
to do us like that? LOL."
46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Exactly. Like, what did we do?
Why y'all being weird to us?
47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,520
After yesterday, I was starting to get
a little, like, in my head about Yu Ling,
48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,560
and I think checking in
is really important for all of us.

00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,680
"I have no idea who drew my portrait,
55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,920
but I've realized I've been flirting
with him this whole time."
56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,640
"I have a little voice in my head
that it could be him?"
57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
I kind of agree with her.
58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,560
I don't want to throw Nathan under the bus
because we do have this alliance.
59
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,600
But I am glad she asked. I'm gonna…
60
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,560

00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,320
I have thought, 'Wow.
This kid is wise beyond his years.'"
66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,200
Rachel is letting me know
that this guy has shown
67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,800
that perhaps he is a little bit older
than what his age is stating.

we had our first private chat last night."

about his portrait depicting him
as a potential catfish." And send.
73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,200
That's interesting
that he would literally reach out to Frank
74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,880
for the first time
to talk about what his portrait meant.
75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,600
That, to me, sounds strategic.

and yet we all have no information
on who the hell he is as a person.
84
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,280
If he's a old man, and he came to me
85
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,240
just to spread some lies
and fallacies, child,
86
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,720
then he needs to go on back home
because that is just not nice.

I have had questions about Yu Ling,
but I'm not going to be disloyal to her

'cause she has shown me
nothing but loyalty.
95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Yes! Not only did I just reinforce
the inner trust circle,
96
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,400
but I got some information about Nathan.
97

[Michelle] Wow, Yu Ling's breakfast
ain't the only spicy thing this morning.

And speaking of hot stuff,

Ah! "Bru has invited you
to a private chat."

You're Nathan. You can't--

my last question. So let's try this again.

00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,080
I do feel a little bad lying to Bru,
but it's the name of the game.
166
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,320
I'm here to win $150,000.
167
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160
I don't want Bru winning it.
I don't want Frank winning it.
168
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,840
I don't want Yu Ling winning it.
I want Nathan winning it.
169
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,480
I got your back. I got yours.
No, I got yours. I got yours.
170
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:30,600
[ducks squeak]
171
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,360
[chill music playing]
172
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,680
[Michelle]
As our players distract themselves,
173
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560
and before Eversen realizes that
174
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000
that puzzle is too big
for that table, boy,
175
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,720
The Circle has a very special distraction
of its own.
176
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,640
[alarm blares]
177
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,720
[all] "Alert!"
178
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,360
-Oh! We got an alert!
-Child, it was quiet!
179
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Oh, stop. What's going on?
180
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,800
Ah! Okay.
181
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Hit me with it, Circle.
What do you have in store for us?
182
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,640
"Players, for making it this far
in the game…"
183
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,040
"…you will each receive
a message from home."
184
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,880
Oh my God.
185
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,960
[atmospheric music playing]
186
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,000
I get to see my babies!
187
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Oh, man. I can't wait.
188
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,480
Oh my God. I'm already emotional
just thinking about this.
189
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,160
If I just see them,
it's just gonna remind me of
190
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,600
why I came here, and why I have to win.
191
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:32,480
I already know
that I'm about to be inconsolable.
192
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,080
Oh, man. You wanna see a grown man cry?
Sit tight.
193
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:37,560
[sighs]
194
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,440
[oven dings]
195
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,480
Turn my cookies off.
196
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,680
[Michelle] First up is Eversen
with a message from his mom.
197
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:48,880
[calm music playing]
198
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:50,600
[screen beeps]
199
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:54,960
[shouts] Mama! [laughing]
200
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Hi, Eversen!
201
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,880
-Hey, Ma! [laughs]
-It's Mom, and I miss you so much!
202
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,720
I'm so proud of you, son.
I'm so proud of you.
203
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,560
I can't wait to give you
that big bear hug.
204
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Don't quit on yourself,
don't ever doubt yourself,
205
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,800
and know you are created for this moment.
206
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,600
You can do this, son.
207
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:17,960
And I can't wait to spend
some of it! [laughs]
208
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040
I do like my mama spending the money.
209
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,440
-And I love you! I love you so much!
-I love you too, Ma.
210
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,120
-Can't wait to see you again! Real soon!
-I'll see you soon, Ma.
211
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,360
Love you, baby.
212
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:37,080
Oh my God!
213
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,640
I can't believe it. I can't fail now.
214
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Oh.
215
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,160
She sacrificed so much for me in my life,
216
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,360
and I wanna be able to…
to give back to her, you know?
217
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Just thinking about it makes me cry.
218
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,600
You always wanna make
your mom proud. [sobs]
219
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,400
[sniffles]
220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,680
And I really wanna make her proud.
221
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,960
[laughing, sniffles]
222
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,280
[Michelle] Next to view is Bru
223
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,520
with a message
from his mom, dad and sister.
224
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,680
-[screen beeps]
-Ah!
225
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,440
-[Sister] Hey, Bru!
-[Dad] We miss you!
226
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,080
You may be Bru in The Circle,
but you're always our Josh at home.
227
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,000
Oh, man.
228
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,760
Bru, I think my favorite thing about you
is your personality,
229
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,120
and your, um, ability
to just make people smile
230
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,120
and make people feel welcome around you.
231
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,280
[Mom]
Your accomplishments are overwhelming.
232
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Uh, we knew it from day one,
when you were born…
233
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,640
Oh, man.
234
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920
…you'd go pretty far,
so very proud of you, dear.
235
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,080
We have one piece of advice
we wanna give you.
236
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,800
And that's just to be yourself.
237
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,600
[Dad] We know you're bringing home
the money.
238
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,560
You're this close to winning it.
Go get it.
239
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Bru, you gotta bring that money home.
240
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320
You know I'm going to college.
We gotta pay the bills.
241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,840
[Dad] You do need a new car.
242
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,440
-[Mom] True.
-Oh no.
243
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520
-Love you, Bru. Can't wait to see you.
-Love you, Bru. Good luck.
244
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Love you, Bru. Good luck, bud.
245
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,720
My dad's never called me Bru in my life.
It's so funny he said Bru.
246
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,080
He's never once called me that. Man! Oh!
247
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,400
I love those guys so much.
Look at Chewie. His tongue's out and all.
248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640
They've always believed in me so much,
and my sister is one of my best friends.
249
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,240
Ah. Miss those guys,
but that's what we need.
250
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,480
We needed that boost.
251
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,000
-[gentle piano music playing]
-[birds chirping]
252
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,360
[Michelle] Next is Rachel
with a message from her parents.
253
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Pull yourself together, woman.
254
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:34,960
-[screen beeps]
-[gasps]
255
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,480
That's my mom and dad.
Oh my goodness. Look at them.
256
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:41,720
Hey, Rach, it's Mom and Dad.
257
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,440
[chuckles] God. They're so freaking cute.
258
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,440
We are far away,
but we are with you right here.
259
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,800
We know you're doing great.
260
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,080
You know we've always been proud of you,
261
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,200
but this is, like, beyond being proud.
262
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,520
I can't wait to hear about it.
I can't wait to see your face.
263
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,920
We love you so much. We miss you so much.
264
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,200
You're nothing but joy.
265
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,720
-We know you've got what it takes.
-Absolutely.
266
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,720
And you're coming into the end here.
Give 'em hell.
267
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,560
-Give 'em hell, Rachel.
-[laughs]
268
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,440
-[dad] Win it all.
-[mom] Win it all.
269
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,000
[sniffles] Damn.
270
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Wow.
271
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,400
That was really nice. [laughs, sniffles]
272
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040
It's given me that reminder that I need,
273
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,120
and while it may be hard,
and I may be confused a lot,
274
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,400
I'm sure of one thing,
and that's of myself.
275
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,240
So I'ma keep going for them.
276
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,840
[serene music playing]
277
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,920
[Michelle] Up next is Nathan,
otherwise known as Alex,
278
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,760
with a message from his girlfriend.
279
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640
[sniffles] Oh God.
280
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,240
I haven't even seen it yet, and I'm…
Oh, wow.
281
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,440
[screen beeps]
282
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,360
Oh my…
283
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Hi, Nathan! Or, I mean, Alex.
284
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,480
You are you. You are a catfish.
285
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,720
I mean, in my mind, you are not a catfish.
You are the love of my life.
286
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,360
I love her so goddamn much.
287
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,360
I miss you so incredibly much.
I think about you every day.
288
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,280
Throughout this entire journey,
I am so incredibly proud of you,
289
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,320
and no matter what happens,
290
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,800
I'm always gonna have
those same feelings about you.
291
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,920
You mean so much to me.
I love you so dearly.
292
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,520
I just want to look at her face forever.
293
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,640
I hope that you are obviously making
good alliances in there.
294
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Just do whatever you need to do
to get to the end.
295
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,800
Do not think with your heart.
Think with your head
296
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,280
because I know
that's who you are as a person.
297
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,000
I am gonna try not to cry…
298
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,360
-It's okay. I'm crying.
-…talking about this.
299
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Okay.
300
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920
I love you. I love you so much.
301
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,400
You mean the absolute world to me,
302
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,680
and I can't wait for you to get home.
303
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,760
Oh, I needed that so bad.
I needed to hear that so badly.
304
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,680
[sniffles]
305
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Oh. I love you too. I love you so much.
306
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000
[exhales] It's nice hearing my name.
307
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,760
I get called Nathan all the time,
and, you know, I'm Alex.
308
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,400
Seeing this message from my girlfriend
is really just the motivation I need.
309
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,760
If I want to win this game,
I have to fight.
310
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:36,520
I will see you soon,
and hopefully I am $150,000 richer for us.
311
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,200
[Michelle] Next, it's Imani, aka Trevor,
312
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,640
with a message from his wife
and former Circle winner DeLeesa
313
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,200
and their two daughters.
314
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Oh boy. I can't wait to see them.
315
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,040
[screen beeps]
316
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,520
-Can you say, "Hi, Daddy"?
-Hi, Daddy!
317
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,880
-[DeLeesa] Say, "I love you, Daddy!"
-Love you, Daddy!
318
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,000
-[DeLeesa] Say, "I miss you, Daddy!"
-[girl] Miss you, Daddy!
319
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,600
-Oh, I miss you!
-Can you blow him a kiss now?
320
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Blow him a kissy!
321
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,960
They're so much bigger.
322
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,360
[Trevor laughs]
323
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,680
Yes! Good job!
324
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,040
No matter what,
just know, like, we love you so much.
325
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:19,520
And this is an experience
that now we share together.
326
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,520
I know that you can do it,
327
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,480
and when you come back, babe,
we are celebrating.
328
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,520
We're gonna make baby number three.
And that's that on that. Okay?
329
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,640
-Oh!
-[makes kissing sound]
330
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,920
Can you blow a kissy?
331
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,280
Mwah!
332
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,400
Yeah.
333
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,440
Bye.
334
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Ah!
335
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,720
Oh, I love them so much.
336
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,920
I love them so much.
337
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,640
[inhales deeply, sighs]
338
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,200
That's everything right there.
339
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,640
Everything that means anything to me
is right there on that screen right there.
340
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,600
I'm not gonna let them down.
341
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,080
[inhales, whispers] Oh gosh.
342
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,200
[sniffles] Oh.
343
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,800
I gotta bring it home for them.
344
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,880
I am so, so, so blessed.
345
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,920
[music stops]
346
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,080
-[calm piano music playing]
-[birds chirping]
347
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,440
[Michelle] Next, Frank has a message
from some of his besties.
348
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,000
My stomach is in my knees right now, like,
349
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,960
I can feel my heart beating so fast.
350
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,720
[screen beeps]
351
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:37,560
Frank, what's up? We are here
to say hello and congratulations.
352
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,640
I know your mom, and your dad,
and your grandmother, and your grandfather
353
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
are smiling down on you, uh, tremendously
right now.
354
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,200
We are all proud of you.
355
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,560
[woman] I miss you so much.
356
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,880
This is the longest
I've been away from you since I met you.
357
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,680
So this is a little hard.
358
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,360
Jesus. I should have had the tissue ready.
359
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,800
I'm so proud of you for even going,
for even stepping out on faith.
360
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,120
-And the tequila is ready, like--
-That's right.
361
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,640
[woman] I have hardly drank
since you've been gone, baby.
362
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,000
Doesn't feel right!
363
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,840
All right, look who's here to say hello
and wish you luck.
364
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800
-Miss you. Come back.
-[woman] Say, "Good luck, Uncle!"
365
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,640
Say, "Good luck, Uncle!"
366
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,360
"I'll see you when you come back!"
[laughing]
367
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,280
I love you with my whole heart.
I cannot wait to see you.
368
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:27,240
I love you so much, baby.
369
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,560
Love you. Love you. Love you. Love you.
Love you. Can't wait to see you.
370
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,520
And, um, bring it home.
371
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,160
Aw!
372
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,560
[sniffles]
373
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,120
Oh my God!
374
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Oh!
375
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,000
Those are some of my very best friends.
376
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Josh is the little brother I never had.
377
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,800
I really had to develop friendships
that became family
378
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,840
because I have lost so many people,
like, on this journey in life,
379
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,600
and it has really propelled me
to just be who I am.
380
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,920
And that's why I try to be so positive
and be so happy.
381
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,920
We did this. Not me. But we, we did this,
and we did this together.
382
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,640
[exhales]
383
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,240
[Michelle] And finally, it's Yu Ling,
384
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,400
who has a message from her mom,
sister, brother-in-law, and nephew.
385
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,920
-Congratulations! Yay
-Congrats! You made it this far!
386
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,320
[screams, laughs]
387
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,400
Hi, Yu Ling. I'm so proud of you.
And we love you!
388
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,520
I just wanted to let you know
that we're super proud of you.
389
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,960
-You have so much to offer the world.
-Oh, sis!
390
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,480
You're multitalented
in all ways and super confident,
391
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,160
unapologetic about who you are.
392
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,320
And so, we're just really glad
that the world gets to see you for that.
393
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,560
[brother-in-law]
Being you has got you this far in life.
394
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,680
Don't change the game plan,
and continue to be genuine.
395
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,000
As is true with everyone that meets you,
they'll fall in love with the true you.
396
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,240
You're in the final stage.
Time to use your head
397
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,880
and strategize who's truly your friend
and who's the catfish.
398
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,920
We hope you win it,
and we have no doubt that you will.
399
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,280
So show them what you've got
and make us proud.
400
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,360
Aw!
401
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,960
-And we love you!
-We love you!
402
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,680
-Miss you. So proud of you!
-[mom] We miss you!
403
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,200
You got it!
404
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Oh-ho-ho! That's my nephew!
405
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,960
You know, my parents came here
because they thought
406
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,440
that that would give my sister
and I a fighting chance.
407
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,160
Maybe they don't make a lot of money,
but, like,
408
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,000
they never complained for a minute,
409
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,000
because they said it doesn't matter
as long as I'm putting food on the table.
410
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,200
So, this money-- there is a lot
that I want to just give back to them
411
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,120
to pay off the house
412
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,400
that they've been trying to pay off
for so long.
413
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:05,280
I want them to have a real savings account
414
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,520
so they can stop…
415
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,080
so they can stop working to the bone,
416
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:17,000
because all they've done their whole lives
is just work, work, work.
417
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,680
Oh my God.
418
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600
[Michelle] With those emotional messages
still ringing in their ears,
419
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,720
our players are getting back
to the usual Circle pastime…
420
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,360
[ethereal music playing]
421
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,400
Oh!
422
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280
[Michelle] …trying and failing
to do things.
423
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,680
[shouts] No!
424
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,840
Fine.
425
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,640
I mean, how the hell am I supposed
to start on a puzzle with 500 pieces,
426
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,280
and I gotta flip over 500 pieces first?
427
00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:52,920
This is why kids today play video games
because of stuff like this, honey.
428
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,800
I don't know! I got old man hips.
They don't move like they used to.
429
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,920
[Michelle] I hate to interrupt
this fun childhood regression, but I will.
430
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,800
-[screen beeps]
-[Yu Ling gasps]
431

432
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,440
I love Thanksgiving!

-"As your Circle journey…"
-"…is nearly over…"
434
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,280
-"…it's time to look back…"
-"…and give thanks."
435
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,920
I like this.
I feel like this is gonna be so cute.
436
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,360
"So today…"
437
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,640
"…you'll be celebrating Thanksgiving."
438
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,400
[gobbles]
439
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,920
I love a good Thanksgiving dinner.
440
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,480
So where is my turkey? Where is my ham?
441
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Mashed potatoes.
442
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,160
Stuffing!
443
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,960
[Michelle] Stop saying things,
and pay attention.
444
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,800
[both] "Go to your doors and collect
your Thanksgiving provisions."
445
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,760
-[Rachel, Yu Ling gasp]
-[Bru] Ooh!
446
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,280
-Oh yeah.
-Do I smell something?
447
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:41,840
Let's see what you got me.
448
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,320
[all gasping]
449
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,160
-[Yu Ling] Wow!
-[Alex] Ooh! Okay.

Oh. This is getting me in the spirit.

[all] "Your Thanksgiving meals are ready
for collection at your doors."
454
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,880
Yes! 'Cause I'm hungry!
455
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,320
Well, well, well.
456
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,880
Guys, this is next level!
457
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,200
It smells good too!
458
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,960
-[Yu Ling] Wow!
-[Bru] Oh my God. Oh, it smells so good!
459
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,360
"Happy Thanksgiving!"
460
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,720
"Time to eat!"
461
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,560
Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir.

[music stops]
463
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,400
Circle, you outdid yourself.
464
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,360
Thank you, Circle.
465
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,760
[relaxed music playing]
466
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,640
Yeah.

-[screen chimes]
-Oh!
468
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,680
Oh! "Circle Chat is now open!"
Let's have some dinner talk.
469
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,760
-Circle, take me to the Circle Chat.
-[Yu Ling] Take me to Circle Chat, please.
470
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,400
This is so exciting.
471
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,000
Message, "Oh my God.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday."
472

but my stomach is full too."
473
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,760
"I'm still not over my message from home."
474
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
"Was I the only one literally in tears?"
475
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,240
No, you weren't! No, you weren't.
I was in tears too.

on top of a heartwarming day."

"Especially after our sweet messages
from home,
482
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,920
which got me emotional,
even though I promised I wouldn't be."

Yu Ling on brand.
484
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,240

I spent most of this morning in tears."

to see my parents' faces."

that are joyous to me,

when I was really young."

"I lost my grandmother two years ago."
503
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,840
"And my grandfather passed away
right before I came to The Circle."
504
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,200
Oh my God.

[sad music playing]
506
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,880
That was… Wow. That's crazy.
507
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,560
I can only imagine
how that must have felt.

choosing to come here

00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,040
despite what I had going on at home."
511
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,640
"Although we have all had
our ups and downs here in The Circle,
512
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,120
you all have made this experience
so worthwhile."

"I'm truly thankful
for each day and all of you because you…"

"…never know when it's our last."
515
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,680
That really hit hard for me.
516
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,160
My family is super important to me,
517
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,840
and I lost my grandpa last year too.
518
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,440
And that's only one grandparent.
519
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,120
He's lost both his parents
and both his grandparents.
520
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,200
I can't imagine
what he must have been going through.

Despite Bru
throwing a little salt on my name,
530
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,600
I think I've come to the realization
531
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,960
that I can't hold people accountable
for what they've done in their past.
532
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,040
I definitely feel like
Bru and I can put that behind us.
533
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,440
And I'm willing
to give Bru a second chance,
534
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,360
and I'm really glad
that he is still in this game.

that despite all these hardships,

you still chose to come here

[Michelle] Well, this has been delightful.
544
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,880
We've hit all the holiday traditions,
545
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,640
covering everything in decorations,
eating copious amounts of food,
546
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,880
and crying.
547
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,560
All that remains is perhaps the greatest
of all holiday traditions,
548
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,680
half-heartedly cleaning up.
549
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,240

00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,360
Circle, I should have known.
554
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,760
No!

00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,080
"Players, you must now rate each other."
556
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,680
[sighs] I'm not ready.
557
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,560
[sighs] This is going to be challenging.
558
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,200
I was at, basically,
the bottom of the ratings last time.
559
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,960
I came in seventh.
The only person below me was Momma Carol.
560
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,160
[Rachel] "Rate your fellow players
from first to sixth."
561
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,640
[in Russian accent] Okay, here we go.
562
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,720
Oh my God! "The lowest rated player
will be blocked tonight."
563
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,640
What?
564
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Oh my gosh.
565
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Oh no!
566
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,760
They don't even have a chance
to fight for themselves?
567
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,520
Oh, jeez.
568
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,560
I feel like I have to be very strategic
in my vote tonight.
569
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,880
This rating is not
about who is gonna be an influencer.
570
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,440
The most important position tonight
is the last place rating.
571
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,560
I gotta give myself
a fighting chance here,
572
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,760
so I gotta be really smart
about where I place people.
573
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Circle, please take me to my ratings.
574
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
[suspenseful music playing]
575
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,400
[Bru] Oh God, first place.
576
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,080
All right. Putting Yu Ling at the top.
She did me a huge solid the other day.
577
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,440
She saved my life in the last blocking.
She decided to keep me around.
578
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880
In my mind, I know
she'll rate me somewhat high.
579
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,400
I can use my bottom votes
to have a little more punch.
580
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,640
So that is why I'm locking in Yu Ling
in my first position.
581
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,720
First place, I'm thinking Imani.
582
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960
I'm thinking Imani
because we came in together.
583
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,880
We had to make a decision together.
584
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,600
We've been flirting real hard,
585
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,080
and if she's in first place,
586
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,000
I feel like she gonna have my back
if it ever came down to it.
587
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,800
So, Circle, let's make Imani
my first place.
588
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,000
In first place, I want to put Rachel.
589
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,840
Rachel has been an ally of mine
in this game time and time again.
590
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,800
She saved me
at a very critical point in the game.
591
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,360
So I owe her one.
592
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,720
Circle, I would like to rate Frank
in my first position.
593
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:05,200
He has shown me nothing but an honest
and real genuine person from the start.
594
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,040
I just have to go with my heart here,
and, um, it's really all I can do.
595
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,400
Circle, I'd like to place Yu Ling
in my first position.
596
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,600
I feel like
she is going to rate me fairly highly,
597
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,640
and she is someone that I definitely want
to see in the finale.
598
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600
So I have to put my girl Yu Ling
in first place.
599
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,840
Circle, please place Frank
in first position.
600
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,600
This is a no-brainer.
He is real. He is genuine.
601
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,560
I just know that he's got me,
and I've got him.
602
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,560
Okay, second position.
603
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,040
I'm really deciding
between Yu Ling and Imani,
604
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,800
but I… my gut is telling me
to go with Imani.
605
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,040
Circle, I would like to rate Imani
in my second position
606
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,640
because I fear that she hasn't made
as many strong connections,
607
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,160
and I really wanna secure her spot
going forward.
608
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,400
Circle, please rate Bru
as my second rating.
609
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,920
Circle, please place Bru
in third position.
610
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,840
Circle, lock in Frank in fourth position.
611
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Circle, I'd like to place Eversen
in my fifth position.
612
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,360
Circle, please place Nathan
in sixth position.
613
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600
Somebody wrote "fake flirt"
in my portrait.
614
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,920
I've only ever flirted with Nathan.
615
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,840
There's just something not adding up
to me.
616
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,280
At this moment,
I think there is a big possibility
617
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,080
that I end up in last again.
618
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,000
So I'm hoping I have done enough
619
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,360
to make Bru look like the bad guy
in this situation.
620
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,480
That is why I am putting Bru
in my last place.
621
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,440
I really think that it's me versus Bru.
622
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,920
Circle, place Eversen in last place.
623
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,360
This is tough.
624
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,040
Listen, I love the dude.
I love Eversen. I think he's fun.
625
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Love his story, but I just can't be last.
That's the thing. I cannot be last.
626
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,200
That's why, if someone has to leave,
I'd rather it be one of the newer players.
627
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,600
I just have the least connection
with them.
628
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,080
Circle, there's only one name left,
629
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,560
and although I like her,
I heard she's a game player.
630
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,480
So please rate Yu Ling as my sixth rating.
631
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,200
I'm feeling good about this.

It's a done deal now. It is a done deal.
635

All right. Nothing else to do now
but wait, right, guys?
636
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,760
At least I'll have you no matter what.
You'd… you'd rate me first, right?

Frank is smelling something fishy,
and no, it's not Nathan, honey.

00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,520
-Oh my God!
-Oh! Oh!
666
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,200
-I don't even wanna see this.
-Oh!
667
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:10,200
We've been plottin'. We've been schemin'.
Time to see if all our work paid off.
668
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,960
I don't know. I'm no mathematician.
I have no idea how these averages work.
669
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,040
[tense music playing]
670
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,240
Who's leaving?
671
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,000
Oh my God, please not me!
672
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,680
I don't know I can watch this.
673
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,280
Oh, please don't say Bru.
674
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,280
Girl! [exhales]
675
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,880
-[Bru] Oh, come on.
-[Alex grunts]
676
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,240
[music intensifies, stops]
677
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,360
[Bru] No!
678
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,360
It was me.
679
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,800
[Alex screaming]
680
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,680
Oh my God!
681
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,320
-Bru?
-Bru's going home.
682
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:51,400
Whew! Oh, it's so nice to not be last.
Oh my God!
683
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,600
[Yu Ling] No!
684
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,920
-Damn, Bru.
-No!
685
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,080
[sighs] Dang.
686
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,200
That's it.
687
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,360
I'm done.
688
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,320
That's something you never wanna see.
689
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,520
Holy shit!
690
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,120
I pulled it off!
691
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,000
I had a bad feeling about it,
and there it is.
692
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,760
Couldn't make it out of this one.
693
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,360
Another OG!
694
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,320
I'm glad I'm still here, though.
695
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,840
Come so far, but it hurts more
than I thought it was gonna.
696
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,200
I just really didn't think
he would be going home.
697
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,560
I'm outta here. Hit the dusty trail.
698
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:30,080
Ah.
699
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,400
Mm.
700
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,240
Didn't even get to wear these clothes.
701
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,160
[alarm blares]
702
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:38,280
"Alert."
703
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,760
What's this? My last supper?
704
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,400
"Before you leave,
you can meet one player face to face."
705
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,720
Who deserves the visit? [chuckles]
706
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,920
I could go and see Nathan.
Said we'd have each other's backs.
707
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Frank is accused as the Mr. Nice Guy
708
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,600
and just playin' the game
to please everybody,
709
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,640
and maybe that's true
if… if this was the result
710
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,320
of being in an alliance with him.
711
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,880
So, could ask him what's up.
712
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:10,400
I could go see Yu Ling, be like,
"What happened? I thought we were closer!"
713
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,440
And it's disappointing. So I don't know
where or who I went wrong with.
714
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,000
[suspenseful music playing]
715
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,480
I know who I'm gonna see. Let's do it.
716
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,080
[music fading out]
717
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,160
[alarm blares]
718
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,240
-[Alex] What the heck? An alert!
-[Rachel] "Alert!"
719
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,720
Girl, what is it now?
720
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
[both] "Bru is on his way
to meet one of you now"?
721
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,400
Like, we doin' that, like, right now?
722
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,840
[Yu Ling] You better freaking come
because I have so much food left.
723
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,280
[dramatic music playing]
724
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,280
Oh. It's probably gonna be Yu Ling or me.
725
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,440
He's gonna want to know everything.
726
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,560
I hope Bru comes to see me, man.
727
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,000
If Bru walks in and sees me,
he… he probably won't know what to do.
728
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,160
Oh my God. Oh my God.
729
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:14,640
[Yu Ling] Why is my heart racing?
730
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:17,760
Just so I don't smell
like a freaking mess.
731
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,040
I think that's nice. So I'ma just…
732
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,080
Oh, I feel sick.
733
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:34,160
[music intensifies]
734
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,040
-[door opens]
-Oh my God!
735
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,160
Well, well, well!
736
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,840
Look what the cat dragged in. [laughs]
737
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,280
-Nathan! Who are you?
-My name's Alex.
738
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,640
-Alex!
-Yes.
739
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:49,640
Oh. I had a feeling
you were on your way here.
740
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:50,560
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
741
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,400
Well, let's talk about it. [laughs]
742
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,800
-It's nice to meet you, first of all.
-Nice to meet you. Yes.
743
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,320
My name is Bru. I am, uh, who I am.
So it's so nice to meet you.
744
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,120
-Pleasure.
-My Circle bro.
745
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,280
-[Alex] Yes. Oh my God.
-[Bru] Wow.
746
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,920
-So close.
-I know, man.
747
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,320
I… [grunts]
748
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,160
[Alex] I have to apologize to you
first and foremost.
749
00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:10,280
Okay.
750
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,880
I… With this blocking twist,
751
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,200
I was very much under the assumption
it was gonna be you or me.
752
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,080
Really? So, what'd you do? Tell me.
753
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,320
I rated you last today.
754
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,960
Oh my God! I'm looking for a weapon.
No. Um.
755
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,440
-Oh, man! I thought that too.
-I'm sorry, dude.
756
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,160
-You're so smart. You're so smart, and--
-That's the whole reason I'm catfishing.
757
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:33,920
I play a very strategic game,
I'm very game-oriented,
758
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,520
but I wanted to dumb down my profile.
759
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,680
[Bru] Absolutely. I mean,
you play the frat bro effortlessly.
760
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,120
-It was so good.
-Thank you.
761
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,480
I've been playing this game
almost too wholesomely,
762
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,920
and that was obviously the demise.
I was too nice.
763
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,280
I'm sorry, man. I knew that was… I knew…
764
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,440
I just had a feeling
because it was Carol then me.
765
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,440
Yeah. I know!
766
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,600
I was like, "If nothing changes
this rating, I'm a goner!"
767
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,560
Today, for me,
was, like, strictly survival mode.
768
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,360
[Bru] Okay, which painting did you do?
769
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,080
-I did Frank's. [laughing]
-Oh, I knew it! I knew it! [laughing]
770
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,000
-I did Frank's. Did… did you do Rachel's?
-Yeah.
771
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:13,280
Yes, I knew it! Just looking at Rachel's,
I go, "I think Bru did this."
772
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,720
"I don't know why,
but I feel like Bru did this."
773
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,560
That's wild
because I tried to do it so well.
774
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,480
I was like,
"Maybe they'll think it's a girl?"
775
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,440
That's what I was trying to do,
but my handwriting was so shitty.
776
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,240
I was like, "Okay. He's either gonna think
it's Bru, Eversen, or myself."
777
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,280
[Bru laughs]
778
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,680
[screen whirs]
779
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:31,320
[Frank] What is it?
780
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,120
Why don't nobody want to see me?
781
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,480
I am highly offended.
782
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,880
He's not coming.
783
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,440
[relaxed music playing]
784
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,560
I might… Fuck that. I'm mad.
I'm 'bout to eat your cupcake, Bru.
785
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,280
I wonder who he went to see.
786
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,560
My strategy, though,
787
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,680
is I want to go into the finale
being the lowest level threat.
788
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,960
Just don't let people know
that Nathan is smart and cunning.
789
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,040
-Here. Come and look at this board I have.
-What do you got here? What is this?
790
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:10,120
[Alex] Here on the wall, I've been mapping
different relationships in, like, notes.
791
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,000
I just was looking at this,
and I was like, "These two are fucking…"
792
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,720
Look at all these strings
they have going from here!
793
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,040
Yeah. "Anti-Frank. Friend."
794
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,600
Now… Yeah. I was un-Anti-Frank
the past two days, but you know what?
795
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,160
Now it's… it's so tough to know.
796
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:25,200
You… you still don't know
where you stand with him.
797
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:31,040
Well, uh, the bad news keeps coming.
I did tell Frank what you told me.
798
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,640
Oh my God! What is wrong with you?
Why would you do that?
799
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,880
-I was in survival mode.
-Okay. How'd you phrase it?
800
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,000
I told him last night.
To be fair, I held on to it for a while.
801
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Right after
we had the deepest conversation yesterday.
802
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,720
You ruined it all.
God, I love and hate you at the same time.
803
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,680
So I was worried
if Frank became an influencer again,
804
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,120
which seems likely,
that he was gonna block me.
805
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,760
I feel guilty, but, like,
I love this game, and I wanna win.
806
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,440
[Bru] Oh wow. That's tough.
807
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,120
I had you at the top of my ratings
every other time,
808
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,440
but it was like,
"If I'm at the bottom again, I'm gone."
809
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,080
[Bru] You're doing so well.
810
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,040
Obviously, you have the strategy,
so just keep going with it.
811
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,360
You're so close. I love it--
812
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,480
I can't tell you how good it is to hear
you have a good spirit about this.
813
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,120
-It's all that matters.
-I wouldn't change it, but I feel bad.
814
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:17,280
You're such a cool dude.
815
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,680
The honesty is too much,
but it's great to meet you.
816
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,120
Keep it going. Don't let it rattle you.
I'm on your side, I'm pullin' for you.
817
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,480
Alyssa passed it to me.
I pass it to you now. So like…
818
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,480
-I appreciate that.
-Ah. So nice to meet you.
819
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,880
-And screw you, buddy. Just kidding.
-[both laugh]
820
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,800
-Nice to meet you. Good luck.
-Nice meeting you.
821
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,360
-See you soon.
-I'll see you very soon.
822
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,240
-All right, dude. Peace out.
-Take care, man.
823
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:36,200
See ya.
824
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:38,160
[Alex] Oh, wow.
825
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,600
[Michelle] Brutopia has come to an end,
826
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,040
and while he wanders off
in the neon hallway,
827
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,280
looking for more words
to rhyme with his name,
828
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,120
it's sinking in with the others
that they're almost at the finish line.
829
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,240
Wow.
830
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:57,640
I don't need friends.
I need $150,000. I need the win.
831
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:01,600
I'm one step closer to the finale
and one step closer to my check, baby.
832
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,040
Oh, it feels so good to be safe,
and it feels really good.
833
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,760
It's like… I feel like I'm just, like…
I'm inching toward the finale.
834
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,360
Like inching.
It's right there. Like, I can see it.
835
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,360
[alarm blares]
836
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,360
[all] "Alert!"
837
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:15,440
What is it?
838
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,040
How many more alerts
we gonna get today, Circle?
839
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,480
"Players, tonight is a…"
840
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,840
[all] "…double blocking"?
841
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:23,840
[gasps]
842
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,400
[falsetto] What the fuck?
843
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,920
[groaning] There it is.
There's the bomb. There it is.
844
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:35,440
"The top rated player will become
the secret super influencer."
845
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:40,240
Oh my God.
846
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,120
This is wild, man.
847
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,480
Oh, I'm sick to my stomach.
848
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,400
I did my ratings
based on who was gonna be last,
849
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,000
not who was gonna be first.
850
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,800
"They will decide…"
851
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,880
"…which other player…"
852
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:55,880
"…to block tonight."
853
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,200
Well, I'll be a monkey's ass, honey.
854
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,760
If that one player isn't a fan of Nathan,
I'm gone.
855
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,720
I feel very vulnerable right now.
I… I don't know who this person will be.
856
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,960
I know I have a big personality.
857
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,600
That can be threatening
to somebody who wants to win.
858
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,520
One person gets to decide
who will be blocked tonight.
859
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,280
"The secret super influencer
will be notified…"
860
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,320
"…now!"
861
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,960
Come on! Please be me! Please be me!
862
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,640
God, I have to just put out good energy.
863
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:29,840
I'm hopin' for a miracle here.
864
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,880
Circle gods, be on my side right now!
865
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,440
[tense music playing]
866
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,720
[music intensifies, stops]
867
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:48,160
[gasps, screaming]
868
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:49,560
Fuck!
869
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:52,680
I guess I'm not it.
870
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,840
[sighs] Okay. It's not me.
871
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:01,200
My fate in this game is in the hands
of any one of these folks right now.
872
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,880
Back to being stressed out.
873
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:07,120
"You are the secret super influencer!"
874
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,520
Girl, what? [squeals]
875
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,840
"You must now decide
which player to block."
876
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,600
I have to get this decision right
877
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,520
because this decision impacts me
and impacts my game.
878
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,560
"The Circle will never reveal
your identity."
879
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,720
Well!
880
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,640
I feel like a spy or something.
881
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,160
I have been playing a genuine game
since the beginning.
882
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:38,560
I haven't been doing much strategy,
and that has gotten me to this position,
883
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,400
but it could be a good decision
884
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:46,680
for me to take out someone right now
that does usually rate a little higher
885
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,960
to increase my chances
at that finish line.
886
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,040
"Please lock in your decision now."
887
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,760
Man.
888
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,240
Ooh, Jesus, thank you. Thank you.
889
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:00,920
[suspenseful music playing]
890
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,680
Circle, I'm ready to lock in my answer.
891
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,880
The player I have decided to block is…
892
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,320
-[alarm blares]
-Oh!
893
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,720
[all] "Alert!"
894
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,760
What is it? Just give it to me.
895
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,080
"The secret super influencer
has made their decision."
896
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,440
Okay.
897
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,080
I'm pretty sure everybody's
in their apartments as anxious as I am.
898
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,560
[groans]
899
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,280
"The players who survive
will become finalists."
900
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Oh shit!
901
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,880
I am so happy that I already know.
902
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,240
Finalists! That is freaking insane, dude!
903
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,040
I like the way that sounds.
Please let it be me.
904
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,360
I just wanna be one of 'em.
905
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,000
"In no particular order,
the finalists are…"
906
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,480
Oh, come on!
907
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,720
This is evil!
908
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,640
Come on, Circle. Come on.
909
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:59,800
I don't want this journey to end
just this close to the finish line.
910
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:01,680
Here we go. Here we go. Who is it?
911
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,760
Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
912
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,240
All right. Let's see
who's behind door number one, baby!
913
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,880
I want this so badly.
914
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,760
Please, please, please, please, please,
please, please, please, please, please.
915
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,080
[screaming] Oh! That's me! Oh my God!
916
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,520
Oh my God! [laughing]
917
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,000
You've gotta stop making me cry
in here, man! It's hurting my heart!
918
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,240
Oh! Rach! Yes, honey!
919
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,520
Yes, ma'am, Miss Rachel! Yes, ma'am!
920
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,920
Congratulations, Rachel.
One down. Four to go.
921
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,840
Finalist number two, who are you?
922
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:47,720
Please.
923
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,280
Come on, Circle.
Don't leave me hanging. Come on!
924
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,240
I wanna see Nathan's face.
I wanna see Nathan's face.
925
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,600
[shouting] Yes!
926
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:05,640
Yes! Yes! Yes!
927
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,920
We did it! We did it! We did it!
928
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,120
Yeah, Imani!
929
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:11,960
That's a bit worrisome.
930
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,480
I was thinking she might be
one of the people that got blocked.
931
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,840
[Trevor] God, that's a beautiful sight!
932
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,240
Yes, man! Yes, yes, yes!
933
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,280
[grunts] Only three more spots.
934
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,240
[exhales]
935
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,520
I cannot wait
until my name spins around, honey.
936
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:29,600
I need to make sure
937
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,080
'cause The Circle might change
her mind, honey.
938
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,520
[loudly] There he go! There he go! Yes!
939
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,400
My baby!
940
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,720
[Michelle] With just two more spots
for that finale,
941
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,520
and three players remaining,
942
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,440
it's either Nathan, Eversen,
or Yu Ling going home.
943
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:56,640
So far, three of my favorite people
have made it into the finals.
944
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,760
[loudly] Come on, Circle! Come on!
945
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,880
My heart has left my body.
There is no pulse.
946
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,040
[dramatic music playing]
947
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,920
[music intensifies, stops]
948
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,680
[screaming] Oh my God!
949
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,760
Oh, baby, I know my girl is over there
950
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,080
screaming to the very, very top
of her lungs, honey.
951

[screaming]
952
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,040
[shouting] Yes!

00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,960
Yes, Yu Ling!

[ominous music playing]
955
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,840
[Michelle] Yu Ling has made it
into the finale, leaving just one spot,
956
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,080
and it's now all down
to Eversen or Nathan.
957
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,800
Oh, we're down to a fifty-fifty chance.
958
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,480
Come on, I'm a finalist.
I know I'm a finalist.
959
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,280
[spluttering] I feel sick
to my stomach right now.
960
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,120
The last ticket to the dance.
961
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,040
Don't leave me outside in the cold.
962
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,920
I'm on the VIP list.
Come on, get me inside.
963
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,600
Oh. My heart is gonna explode
out of my chest right now.
964
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:14,480
Circle, come on! Come on!
965
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,920
I need this result. Oh, I need this.
966
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,280
Oh my God, who is it?
967
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,520
Here it comes. [groans]
968
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,040
[music intensifies, fades out]
969
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,480
[Michelle] Coming up on The Circle finale,
970
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,800
the secret super influencer
makes a big decision.
971
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,280
Let's stamp it, honey.
972
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:38,840
This is my slot. This is me.
973
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,520
This is make or break.
974
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:43,440
What?
975
00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:47,840
"Your final ratings will decide
the winner of The Circle, honey."
976
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,120
[all cheering]
977
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,040
[Michelle]
The players finally meet face-to-face.

[dramatic music playing]
979
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,320
But who will win?
980
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,160
The winner of The Circle,
981
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:09,480
and taking home $150,000, is…
982
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,480
[theme music playing]
