[Michelle] With influencers Frank
and Yu Ling about to decide who to block,

00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:19,040
Carol is on her way to meet Eversen,
where they will both await their fate.

00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,840
[John] No way!
7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,160
-Carol!
-Eversen!
8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,720
-What's up, man?
-What's up, bro?
9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,880
I definitely thought
you were a 63-year-old lady.
10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,520
-Did you really? [laughs]
-Oh my God, bro!
11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,760
I'm telling you, man.
You completely had me.
12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,840
Like, I had no doubt about it.
13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,600
I was like, "Yo. This is a old lady.
She got the same shirt as my mom."
14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,960
-[John laughs]
-Oh God!
15
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,200
I feel like I'm so full of shit,
my eyes are brown.
16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,160
-So who are you?
-So I'm John.
17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,240
-John!
-I'm John.
18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,120
-Nice to meet you, John.
-Pleasure, sir.
19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,800
Uh, I'm Carol's son. I'm 24.
20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,840
-Okay.
-And I run social media for a living.
21
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,600
-Wow. Oh.
-It's been weird. I can't lie, like…
22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,240
I promise you
everything that I say and stuff is me.
23
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:07,520
But it's just like,
I knew as, like, a 24-year-old,
24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,160
like, nobody would believe me
to be like that.
25
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,240
-So my mom was, like, the person.
-Yeah. Yeah.
26
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,440
Carol is my mom.
Like, she is the best lady in the world.
27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,640
I will tell you, though,
28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,280
probably the funniest conversation
I had to have.
29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Alyssa and I had a one-on-one,
like, just to chat,
30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,160
and, uh, she had mentioned
that she was a sex therapist's assistant.
31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,080
Right.
32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Comes up that, like, you know,
33
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,280
I had mentioned something
about spicing up my marriage.
34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,120
[laughing loudly]
35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Please don't tell me
she had to talk to you
36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,880
about your mom and daddy doing the nasty.
37
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,280
Oh, did I!
38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,760
[both laughing]
39
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,920
I felt a real connection to your words,
and your words are what mattered the most.
40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
They're from you.
Those are John's words with Carol's face.
41
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000
I appreciate that, man. Thank you, man.
42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,560
I'm bummed that one of us
isn't gonna be here.
43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,320
I wanted to keep that going. Like, I…
44
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640
So looking at the game now, like,
who do you think is who they say they are?
45
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,600
-Are you skeptical of anyone?
-I don't know, man.
46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Like, I… I had my chips on you.
47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,960
I think Yu Ling is herself,
but I feel like she is, like, gaming.
48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Oh yeah.
49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,360
[John] It still rubs me the wrong way how,
like, Yu Ling did Alyssa dirty, to me.
50
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,320
You know, they'd been friends,
and, like, it really bugged me, like…
51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,800
And I kinda brought it up the next day
when everybody was like…
52
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,080
when Yu Ling was like,
53
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,440
"Oh, I wanted to save Alyssa."
It's like, "You could've."
54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,480
That's what I said!
55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,680
I said… I said… I said, "Why would you say
you wanted to, and you could've?"
56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,680
I know! Thing was, we were on good terms
until she wronged Alyssa.
57
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Then I think she knew what she did.
58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Like, we weren't gonna be on great terms
after that anyway.
59
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,120
I love the game that I'm playing.
60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,280
I'm having a lot of fun,
but also, like, I wanna win.
61
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Like, I want to have that chance, and…
62
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,680
If Frank and Yu Ling give me the chance…
63
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,240
-I'm gonna fight, dude.
-Yeah.
64
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,640
Like, this game ain't about rolling over
and playing nice.
65
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,480
Like, you gotta fight, and get to the top,
and, like, game. So I'm ready to do it.
66
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,360
I want Frank and Yu Ling to save me.
67
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,840
I want Frank to save me for nothing else
other than the fact I just saved him.
68
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:57,480
Like, he owes me.
Like, a debt needs to be paid.
69
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,680
[tense music playing]
70
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,640
[Michelle] With our catfish
and captain nervously waiting,
71
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,800
it's time for Yu Ling and Frank to decide
72
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,440
which one of them
to throw a lifeline to,
73
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,880
and which one to send
on a one-way cruise out of here.
74
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,960
Child, how the hell
we supposed to do this?
75

Message, "Frank!
What the hell is going on?"
76
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160
"I am so happy to be in this position
with you."

[Frank]
"We have an extremely tough decision
78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560
to make tonight" with a crying emoji.
79
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,360
"Shall we get started?"
80
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Child, it seems like
we gotta get it cranking, girl.
81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Message, "I think
we should start with Carol."
82
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,680
"She has been an excellent player,
has been here since the beginning,
83
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560
and her plea of survival
really tugged at my heart."
84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,560
"She was open in saying
she has made some mistakes in this game,
85
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,800
and I appreciate that."
86
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,600
"However, I'm still not quite sure
how much I trust her
87
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240
at this stage in the game,
which makes me hesitant."
88
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,320
"What do you think?"
89
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Frank is reading my mind exactly.
90
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Carol is part of the reason
that I was saved in the first blocking.
91
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Simultaneously, her plea
really pulled at my heartstrings.
92
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,800
The only thing is
93
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,560
she did lie to me.
94
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,160
She's made some mistakes,
95
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,840
but she also admitted
that she has made those mistakes,
96
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,480
and I appreciate her vulnerability
in doing that.
97
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920
Everybody deserves a second chance.
98
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Message, "I really thought
I had made my mind up about Carol,
99
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640
but that plea was damn good."
100
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,880
"While I feel like,
if we saved her, she would be loyal to us,
101
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,560
I think some of our strongest connections
could be confused."
102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,120
"I'm also hesitant,
and she has been rated eighth."
103
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,160
I agree that the ratings show
104
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,160
that Carol is not the player
that she used to be.
105
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,280
Message, "There are definitely
pros and cons
106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,160
to keeping Carol in this game."
107
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,040
"If she stays, I feel like
her loyalty to us will be there,
108
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,920
and those she's connected to
will potentially be loyal to us as well."
109
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,240
"However, how sure are we
that we can trust those connections
110
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,760
at such a pivotal point in the game?"
111
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,880
If we decided to keep Carol,
112
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,920
I know
that would reinforce my trust with Bru.
113
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Message, "What are your thoughts
on Eversen?" Send.
114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,560
I can't forget about how he made sure
that I was saved.
115
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,160
So a part of me feels like I owe him this.
116
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,640
Message, "Eversen has really been
a ray of sunshine
117
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,360
since he has been in this game."

00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,560
"Not only has he been a positive light,
119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760
but with him giving me the antivirus first
and saving me,
120
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,640
I was able to make sure you were safe."
121
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
"Also, he rated very highly,
122
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,840
which means he is well-liked
amongst the other players."
123
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,080
"What do you think?"
124
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,000
Frank is completely correct about that.
125
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,960
I mean, we will not forget the fact
that Eversen and Imani saved Frank,
126
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,960
and Frank chose me as his number one.
127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Message, "While I haven't had a chance
to personally connect with Eversen,
128
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,040
I do feel loyal to him
because he did give you the antivirus."
129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,160
"The only hesitance I have is
I'm unsure of where he stands with me,
130
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,360
or if his loyalty could change
as he is a newer player."
131
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
That is very true.
His loyalty could change.
132
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,680
He's very early in the game.
133
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:29,880
So he could flip.
134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,520
"Frank. I absolutely agree
with every single thing you said."
135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,040
"This is a tough decision,
136
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,840
and one that poses major risk
regardless of what we decide."
137
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,760
I think we both know
that, regardless of the choice,
138
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:45,120
there will be repercussions.
139
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Do we keep a powerful player in the game
that we don't know if we can trust,
140
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,960
or do we go with the… the newbie?

[suspenseful music playing]
142
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880
I think Frank and I
are definitely on the same page.
143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,840
As you go in the game,
144
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,280
it gets harder and harder
to see people get blocked, and…
145
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Somebody has to make the decision, though.

Yeah.

And I appreciate that.
184

I rated you two. I had Bru at number one.

Uh. Bru, I know he rated low,
but he has people's backs.
186

Like, if you get
a good connection with Bru,

he will have your back.
188

-Okay.

191
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,000
Look, she's taken out Alyssa and me,
and we were an alliance.
192
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840
So obviously, the alliance thing
doesn't matter much to her.

Message…
334
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,800
"Yu Ling, thank you so much
for saving me last night."
335
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000
"I'll forgive you for thinking
John was a stud. LOL!"
336
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Message, "I think an important thing
I learned with #MommaCarol is that,
337
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,800
while definitely having suspicions
of someone being a catfish…"
338
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,280
"…you can totally build
a strong relationship
339
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,480
with the player behind the picture."
340
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,800
"I never doubted the connection
I had with Momma Carol for a second,
341
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,720
and that's why I kept him/her around."
342
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560
This is great news for Nathan.
343
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520
If he's okay working with catfish,
he's gonna love working with me.
344
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,400
I totally appreciate
what Bru's trying to say with this,
345
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,200
but it feels like he's working overtime
to make this point.
346
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,400
And, you know, if somebody is a catfish,
347
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,720
there is a layer of deception there,
which takes me aback, at least.
348
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,440
And the Circle Chat is now closed,
and Momma Carol's story ends there.
349
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,520
I think everybody's happy
350
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,600
because they feel like the right decision
was made by sending home the catfish,
351
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:54,520
but there's still some in the water.
352
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,440
[Michelle] Meanwhile,
after flirting with Imani, Eversen is, um…
353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800
[smacks tongue] You should just watch.
354
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Have you ever heard your name
whispered over a mountain?
355
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Oh, you haven't?
356
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,160
[calm music playing]
357
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,280
[whispers] Imani.
358
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,840
[blowing]
359
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,120
[Michelle] And while that settles
into your subconscious forever,
360
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,760
Bru is checking in
with influencers Frank and Yu Ling.
361
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,680
[Yu Ling gasps]
362
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,280
-"Bru has invited you to a group chat"?
-"Bru has invited you to a group chat."
363
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:26,560
I hope this is received well.
364
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Yu Ling proved last night that I'm still…
I'm still atop of her list. Thank God.
365
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,680
[exhales]
366
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,400
I know they're gonna be nice,
367
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,760
but I gotta really try
to seal some kind of deal here.
368
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,280
Bru is definitely someone
I consider a friend in this game.
369
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:44,800
I think it will be dope to have
370
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,240
as many OG players
in the finale as possible,
371
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,920
so I'm looking forward
to seeing what he has to say.
372
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,640
[Bru] Message, "What's up, peeps?"
373
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,000
"With no more Momma Carol,
I'm taking over mom duties."
374
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,200
"Laughing emoji."
375
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,000
"How are you feeling? Question mark."
376
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,120
Message, "Well, since Momma Carol
was really a man,
377
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,960
you will fit right in
on taking those duties." And send.
378
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,960
[Bru] I think opening up
is my best thing I can do here.
379
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,720
Message, "It's always tough
seeing someone you're close with go."
380
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,240
"That's why I'm so glad
that you two are still here."
381
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,200
"I feel blessed
382
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,080
to have had my deepest conversations
with both of you."
383
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,520
"So it really is like
you're my family in here."
384
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,480
"Family is so big to me,
and I'm so close to my mom."
385
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,400
"That's why even though
the #CatfishCarol vibes were obvious,
386
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,480
I still had such a strong draw
to that mother-son connection
387
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,920
and also why I feel the closest
to you two."
388
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,320
"#CircleFam." [gasps]
389
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,360
Aw! Baby Bru! That is amazing.
390
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,600
I could see
where Yu Ling and Frank would be like,
391
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,680
"Oh, wow.
Bru just lost his number one connection."
392
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,160
"He's trying to hop on board
with the two influencers."
393
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,600
But I really hope they see these words
as genuine 'cause they really are.
394
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,080
I feel like he had his hesitations
with Carol,
395
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,840
but he kind of put it
to the back of his head
396
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,840
in an effort to have a strong bond.
397
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,960
So I get that.
398
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Message, "I absolutely feel
where you are coming from, Bru."
399
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,680
"My mom and I were very close
while she was still here with me,
400
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,440
and I miss her daily."
401
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,440
That must be really hard,
just, like, losing your mom.
402
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,720
I would literally be a hot mess.
403
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Message, "Family as well as chosen family
is super important to me."
404
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,800
"In my past, my blood family
may not have always understood
405
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,160
who I am as a person."
406
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,480
"That's why my chosen family
is such a huge part of my identity."
407
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,160
"I feel that bond
with you both, heavy." Send.
408
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,800
I agree with all of that 10,000%.
409
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,360
It's not about who you grew up loving.
It's not about who birthed you.
410
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,520
You can choose your family.
411
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,200
You can choose to be around people
that lift you up and make you better.
412
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Oh my gosh.
413
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,880
Yu Ling, that just gave me goosebumps.
Like, literal… [exhales]
414
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,520
That's what I'm talking about, guys!
That's the good stuff!
415
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,480
Message, "This game is tough,
416
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,880
and it doesn't seem
to be getting any easier."
417
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,400
"It's moments like these that are meant
to make us stronger together,
418
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,520
not just in this game, but in real life."
419
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,720
"I love this moment we're having,
420
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,040
but I have no damn tissue
to wipe these tears." [laughs]
421
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,480
"Crying laughing emoji.
#RoughAssPaperTowels."
422
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,120
Oh sheesh.
Now I'm gonna start tearin' up here.
423
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,640
Obviously, we're in a game.
424
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,320
Obviously, it's been all jokes,
and there has been tons of drama,
425
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,760
but there are people behind these screens,
and they're each going through something.
426
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,880
You just never know what it is.
427
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,120
Message, "Y'all ready
for a big old cuddle puddle or what?"
428
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,760
"Cryin' laughing emoji."
429
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840
"I really appreciate you both,
and this chat has been everything."
430
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,880
"I can already see our #ChosenFamily
giggling and cracking jokes
431
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,880
after this whole thing is done."
432
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,720
"Red heart. #FranBruLing! [laughs]
#ThatsOurCelebrityName."
433
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,760
I like that, FranBruLing, girl.
It sounds like a fine cuisine, honey.
434
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,400
It's giving, like, crème brû…
crème brûlée.
435
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,360
Is that how you say it? Crème brûlée?
436
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,440
I started this chat
437
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,240
to kind of strengthen the alliance
I thought I had with Frank and Yu Ling.
438
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,360
We're family now.
439
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,680
Couldn't have gone better.
440
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,360
[music fading out]
441
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,680
[Michelle] You guys, remember when Eversen
442
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,920
talked to a picture of Imani
over his bicep,
443
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,120
and y'all thought that was weird? [laughs]
444
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Take it away, Rachel.
445
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Hey, girl, how you doing?
446
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,080
[playing accordion]
447
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,680
Feeling pretty good after yesterday?
448
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,880
-[accordion sounding]
-[laughing]
449
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,760
[screen chimes]
450
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,200
"Portrait Mode." Ha!
451
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,280
What is this? What's Portrait Mode?
452
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:55,880
Oh! Do we have to draw something?
453
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,400
Girl, I can't paint to save my life.
I'm a… I'm a vocalist, honey.
454
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,360
"It's time to test
your artistic abilities…"
455
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,080
"…in a game of Portrait Mode."
456
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,200
I have a good feeling about this.
457
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,680
[groans] I'm not very artsy.
458
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,760
"You will have 30 minutes
to paint a portrait of another player…"
459
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,640
"…as chosen by The Circle."
460
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,920
Thirty minutes ain't a lot of time
to paint a portrait, honey.
461
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,680
"Your portraits will remain anonymous."
462
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:30,480
Once people are in anonymous mode,
they get all the courage in the world.
463
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,960
This could be very, very messy.
464
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,400
[Michelle] We've sent
our little Circle Picassos
465
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,160
all they need
to bring their artistic visions to life.
466
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,640
[Rachel] I'm loving this.
467
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,680
I need candles.
I need dim lights, some, like, light jazz.
468
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,200
[Alex] Yeah-ha! Now we are a real artist.
469
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,520
[Michelle] Not till you have your muse,
Nathan,
470
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,240
and The Circle has kindly picked
who's painting who.
471
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,800
[all] "Your time starts now!"
472
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,080
What am I doing? What am I doing?
473
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,840
[Michelle] Yu Ling will be painting Bru.
474
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,120
It's gonna be fun and bright
but also extremely sweet.
475
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,040
[Michelle] Bru will be painting Rachel.
476
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,120
This is gonna be so good
they'll think it's a girl.
477
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,560
No way a guy will be this good.
478
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,720
[Michelle] Rachel will tackle Imani.
479
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,760
This is gonna be accidentally very shady.
480
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,400
[Michelle] Imani will paint Nathan.
481
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,080
I don't think Nathan's gonna like
his painting very much.
482
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,440
[Michelle]
Nathan will bring Frank to life.
483
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,800
Anything I can do to malign his character
will be helpful moving forward.
484
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,880
[Michelle] Frank, in turn,
will paint Eversen.
485
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,640
I don't know if this is giving a boat
or a fruit bowl from the kitchen, child.
486
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,600
[Michelle] And Eversen will paint Yu Ling.
487
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,560
[Eversen] She's really eating
The Circle up.
488
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,920
That's her eating up that energy
right there.
489
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,960
For my piece,
I'm channeling my inner da Vinci.
490
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,920
-Picasso.
-Michelangelo.
491
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,880
All right, we need these,
like, freaking details.
492
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,480
I could do this S for snake in green.
493
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960
[Bru] This might be
the first spicy thing I do here.
494
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,280
I could put "#GamePlayer."
495
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,560
If I can call Frank a snake
and get away scot-free, that's the dream.
496
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,120
Okay. I'm done.
497
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,760
[all] "Time's up!"
498
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,080
Oh. You know what? I'm proud of that.
499
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,120
I feel like a child could have did better.
500
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,840
[Michelle] The players are now anonymously
uploading their masterpieces
501
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,440
to the Circle Gallery,
where they will be seen by everyone else.
502
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,080
If this helps even a little bit,
that'll be good for me.
503
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,840
"You should now go…"
504
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,360
"…to the Circle Gallery…"
505
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,320
"…to check out your works of art."
506
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,560
Okay, I am excited!
507
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,480
[Michelle] Not as much as me, Nathan.
508
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,560
First on display is Frankie Warhol's
framed tribute to Eversen.
509
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,800
"Welcome to the Circle Cruise!"
Look at that.
510
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Now it look a little better on the TV
than it do in my living room.
511
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,560
He's as big as the boat
'cause he's a bigger-than-life guy.
512
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,840
This makes me feel good.
It makes me feel warm on the inside.
513
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,360
I went nice because I'm nice.
Positive vibes only from over here.
514
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,720
It's pretty safe.
515
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,480
[Michelle] Next up
is Yu Ling's tribute to Bru.
516
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Wow! What does it say? "Strawberry Bru?"
517
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,040
"Strawberry Brubarb." Done.
518
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,480
That is so good.
Oh, that's gotta be Yu Ling.
519
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,280
"A real softy. Super sweet and cool."
520
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:33,120
[loudly] Why's everybody kissing
each other's ass all the time?
521
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,640
I need folks to rate him highly
because I know that he's gonna be loyal.
522
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,720
[Michelle]
Now it's Rachel's interpretation of Imani.
523
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Oh. Oh! Okay. "Hot mama."
524
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,160
She looks like a… like a sexy Terminator.
525
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,560
"Hot mama!"
526
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,840
As far as my game's concerned,
I'm not gonna be mad.
527
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,000
She is fine as hell. Look at them titties.
528
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,200
I was just trying to make Imani feel good.
529
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,480
I don't understand the logic
530
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:07,040
in not using anonymous mode
to try to attack someone.
531
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,960
[Michelle] Next is Brucasso's attempt
at Rachel.
532
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,840
[laughing]
533
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,640
I look like a gremlin.
534
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,240
It's mine.
535
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,120
[both] "Spillin' the tea!"
536
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,040
This don't look that positive.
537
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:22,600
Rachel is always spilling the tea.
538
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,920
Does that mean
she has a problem keeping her mouth shut?
539
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,800
I kind of feel like this is Bru.
540
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,640
Maybe it makes people think differently.
If so, great.
541
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,440
This comes across as a bit of shade.
542
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,520
If they're spreading all of your secrets
around The Circle,
543
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,680
maybe they're not a good alliance member.
544
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,560
I'd love to move up the ratings.
Maybe this shakes some trust in her.
545
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,200
That doesn't seem like a Bru thing to do
'cause Bru is so nice.
546
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,840
It's not the worst thing in the world.
547
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,600
[Michelle] Up next, our very own I-Monet,
who painted Nathan.
548
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,520
[laughing]
549
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,720
Yes. Yes!
550
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,640
Oh shit. "Am I 22 or 45?"
551
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,760
If I've been flirting
with a 45-year-old man,
552
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,840
and I said, "You can take
whatever you want off…"
553
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,200
It's funny,
'cause I am a 45-year-old man at heart.
554
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,120
Ew! [gags]
555
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,520
I hope they get that I'm trying to suggest
Nathan is not 22.
556
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,800
[Michelle] Yeah, honey.
It's not exactly The Da Vinci Code.
557
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,520
What does that say about you?
558
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720
What does that say
about your game playing?
559
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,800
Kinda shitty.
560
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,560
But I kinda see it.
561
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,440
Am I getting taken for a ride
with every person I am close with?
562
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,360
[laughs] Carol and now Nathan?
563
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Oh my God. Has this person literally been
in my apartment?
564
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000
They got the shirt almost exactly right.
565
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,720
I'm just trying to plant a seed of doubt,
566
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,680
and then let people's minds
play their own tricks on them.
567
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,680
That's all I wanna do.
568
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,560
This is getting vicious.
569
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,720
I'm glad
that these are getting meaner, though.
570
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,600
This is what I need
before mine gets revealed. [chuckles]
571
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,600
[Michelle] So glad
we can help you out, Nathan,
572
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080
'cause here comes your portrait of Frank.
573
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040
[sighs]
574
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,360
[Yu Ling gasps]
575
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,000
"Backstabber"?
576
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,000
[Trevor] Wow!
577
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,920
"Portrait of Frank."
578
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,120
We're close to the end here.
I gotta take every shot possible.
579
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,120
"Nicest snake in town? Question mark."
580
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,200
Oh, I did not realize
it was gonna get this dirty.
581
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,200
It is so funny
582
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,040
that people don't have anything negative
to say to me in the game,
583
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,640
but they always take
these anonymous opportunities
584
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,440
to throw shots.
585
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,360
"Mr. Popular or Mr. Shady"
and a snake in the middle?
586
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,080
Somebody came for Frank.
587
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280
I wouldn't know of anyone
that would wanna do that.
588
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,120
I'm hoping that Frank thinks
that Bru did this.
589
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,560
It wasn't me, Frank.
Please don't think it's me.
590
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,640
I… I worked so hard
to build that relationship.
591
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,480
And if Frank is still in power,
then he will want to block Bru.
592
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,640
What you put out, baby,
will always come back.
593
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,160
Clearly, somebody is threatened,
and this close to the finals,
594
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,160
they probably wanna
take him down a few notches.
595
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,440
It's all about ratings,
and it's all about that $150,000.
596
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,400
[Michelle] Finally,
it's happy-go-lucky Eversen's portrait
597
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,320
of Yu Ling.
598
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,720
[Yu Ling] Oh Lord!
599
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,200
This is my portrait.
600
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,280
I did this.
601
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,200
[vocalizes]
602
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,720
Wow!
603
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,640
[laughing]
604
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,320
This is the stuff of nightmares.
605
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,800
This is, like, evil. This is bad energy.
606
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,520
This is not nice at all.
This is, like, so mean.
607
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,040
I'm happy with this.
I wasn't the only mean portrait.
608
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,800
I'm tired of the fake #CircleFamily shit,
and then y'all go and do shit like this.
609
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,680
This is just a strategic move.
610
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,880
After receiving the information from John
last night,
611
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,040
I need to create a sense of doubt
about our influencer.
612
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,360
I need to create a sense of,
"Will she save you?"
613
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,000
I need them to ask the questions.
614
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,440
That is 100% a game move.
High-end savagery.
615
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,040
"Game player. I fake flirt."
Like, girl, shut the fuck up.
616
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,520
Since when do my teeth look like that?
617
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,120
First Frank, and now Yu Ling.
Like, that's heavy, man.
618
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,160
Maybe people are starting
to see Yu Ling and Frank as threats,
619
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,960
and they're like, "We gotta do something."
620
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,640
Man, I hope Yu Ling doesn't think
that I did this.
621
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,280
"Fake flirt alert"?
622
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,200
Maybe this is Nathan.
623
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,920
I wanted things to get spicy.
624
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,840
I just didn't expect it
to have so much backlash on my game.
625
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,320
That went downhill fast, like,
626
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,440
that went zero to savage in 0.2 seconds.
627
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,120
There's at least one, maybe two people
628
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:11,840
who probably think
that Nathan made Yu Ling's painting.
629
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,920
I gotta think about
what my plan is moving forward.
630
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400
Definitely, my thoughts on the players
have changed.
631
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200
I'm questioning if Nathan is 22 or 45.
632
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,760
I'm definitely a lot more wary
than I was before.
633
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,920
It's clear to me that some people are here
to play a very strategic, tactical game.
634
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,520
I cannot trust people right here.
635
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,040
I cannot trust anybody except for Frank.
636
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,840
The top three players
had the worst pictures.
637
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,840
People are… people want that money.
638
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,480
People want that money, and I want it too,
639
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,400
but I'm gonna tell you something,
I'm gonna do it my way.
640
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,600
[Michelle] Whew. I think y'all agree
that was probably
641
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,640
the most single significant artistic event
642
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,080
since 2 Fast 2 Furious.
643
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,760
And as night falls, Bru is keeping
the highbrow entertainment going.
644
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Yeah! Triple-decker!
645
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,680
[Michelle] Bru might be pumped,
646
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,280
but Everson is, as usual,
composure personified
647
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,880
as he completes a children's puzzle.
648
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:14,880
[shouting] Yes!
649
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,520
I've done it! I am the king of jigsaw.
650
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,240
As I have completed this jigsaw,
I will complete The Circle. For the win!
651
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,040
[Michelle] And if all great art
should challenge perceptions,
652
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,200
then the portrait game
certainly did that for Rachel.
653
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,920
The people I trust most right now
are Frank, Yu Ling, Nathan, and Imani.
654
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,680
But after seeing Yu Ling's picture,
my head is just… I'm just reeling.
655
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,080
Like, I don't know what to think.
656
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,720
I know Imani is new,
and we have barely spoken,
657
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,280
but every time we have,
it's just been really good energy.
658
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,360
[screen chimes]
659
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,800
"Rachel has invited you
to a private chat."
660
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,640
Hmm. Okay.
I wonder if this has something to do
661
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,600
with any of the portraits
in Portrait Mode.
662
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
I just wonder what Rachel's angle is here.
663

00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,200
That Portrait Mode game really made a dent

in some relationships, it seems.

Wow, yo, like… Playing savage.
Spread some doubt.

I definitely am more unsure
about who I can trust here,

00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,960
that, if push came to shove,
692
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,920
she's not sure
if Yu Ling would have her back.
693
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,960
I just realized
there's a lot about her I don't know,
694
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,360
especially the fact that she has
such a close friendship with Bru.
695

All right, message,

I haven't seen that side of her either,

Aw, that made me feel so good.

This is what I needed.
713
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,440
You know, if she doubts
Bru and Yu Ling's relationship,
714

especially going into the next blocking,

Even if it's BS, that was beautiful.

[Rachel] I do feel like I can trust Imani.
I really, really, really do.

And it does make me feel
we have such a strong bond here.

Magnum PI had a 'stache.
Sherlock Holmes had a pipe.

Now for Nathan, it's novelty socks

And then I need one
from Imani to Frank as well.

Poor Eversen, I don't know
what relationships you have at the moment.

[Michelle] I ain't a detective like you,
Nathan,
732
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,440

I've been trying to find the right way
to kinda connect with Eversen and Imani,

and I think I got a fun idea to do that.
738
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,520
Even this late in the game,
I think it'll do some good,
739
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,400
especially after
that intense Portrait Mode game earlier.
740
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,520
I really do wonder
741
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,080
what Bru could possibly want
with this group chat.

I'm thinking number two is the lie.

His picture with the dog
isn't a wiener dog.

Bro, she shot her shot at Captain America.

Could've fooled me, man.
Could've fooled me. That was a good one.

00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,800
He probably did a radio interview
with Lizzo,
768
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,920
and she probably jokingly asked him out
on a date.

All right, Lizzo. Radio interview.
We're talking. We're vibing.

You gotta work for this.
826
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,400
I love flirting with Imani.
I think we having a lot of fun.
827
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,360
Every time she get on screen with E,
she is smiling.
828
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,720
They couldn't care less
if I was in this chat.
829
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,560
They could not care less
if I was thrown off a cliff right now.
830
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,520
You guys ain't getting anything from me,
except space.
831
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,960
[Michelle] While Bru considers
his position in that chat,
832
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,720
Nathan is considering his position
in the whole Circle
833
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,320
'cause after coming second to last
in the ratings,
834
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,840
he's thinking about changing his tactics.
835
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Really seems like
the three most popular people
836
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,880
are Yu Ling, Rachel, and Frank.
837
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,040
I am closer with Bru,
838
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,320
but according to the ratings,
839
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,200
Bru doesn't hold any power,
and Frank does.
840
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,320
So I might have to ditch Team Bru
and join Team Frank.
841
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,240
There's no moral compass.
Whatever it takes, I gotta do it.
842
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,960
[Michelle] Do what you gotta do, homey
843
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,000
Just maybe don't tell Frank
you drew him as a literal snake.
844
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,040
Circle, open a private chat with Frank.
845
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,840
[screen chimes]
846
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,840
"Nathan has invited you
to a private chat."
847
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,800
I haven't had a chat with Nathan so far,
and I think he's a cool guy,
848
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,080
so I am definitely open
849
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,360
to having a conversation
with Mr. Nathan, honey.
850
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,280
Message, "Yo, Frank,
we haven't chatted in a long time,
851
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,560
but after the brutal game today,
I just wanted to check in."
852
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,360
"I really didn't think
I would care about it,
853
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,160
but I was pretty bummed
after I saw the portrait of me,
854
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:53,920
and thought
you might be feeling the same."
855
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,280
"How ya feeling, man? #WheresTheTequila?"
856
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:02,120
Child, baby, where is the tequila, honey?
'Cause I need me a good old glass.
857
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:08,120
Message, "Nathan, the game today was
a #HotAssMess."
858
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,880
"I try not to let those anonymous games
get the best of me."
859
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,760
"Don't let that shit get you down." Okay.
860
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,880
Okay, this is good. This is good.
He's got a positive attitude about it.
861
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,840
Even though I'm the one
who sent the shady portrait to Frank,
862
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,480
I'm hoping that I can sort of make it look
like it was someone else,
863
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,720
and hoping that he appreciates
me checking in on him.
864
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,880
Message, "It seemed like
they were calling me an old man,
865
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,720
but it just kind of sucked thinking
866
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,120
someone was trying
to throw me under the bus. Frowny emoji."
867
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,920
"I seriously love your positive vibes
about everything,
868
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,360
and I hope they can rub off on me." Send.
869
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,240
I mean, if he's a catfish, child,
he's been doing a good job
870
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,920
because I wouldn't have thunk it, I swear.
871
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,640
Message, "#ImConfused."
872
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:59,040
"I feel like you have been yourself
the whole time you've been here."
873
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,320
And send.
874
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,200
It sounds like he totally believes
875
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,760
that I'm being genuine,
and that I am Nathan.
876
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,200
From here I think I can mention
877
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
that I'm bummed
we haven't been talking as much,
878
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,880
and I can blame it on Bru.
879
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,920
Message, "Damn, dude. I can't tell you
how happy I am to hear that."
880
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,400
"I started getting really paranoid
that everyone thought I was a catfish."
881
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,520
"Thank you for the support, even though
we haven't chatted in a minute."
882
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,800
"If I'm honest,
I've kind of been avoiding you."
883
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,600
[shouting] What in the hell? What for?
884
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,720
This is the start
to the change in Nathan's game.
885
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,680
I just need to drop the bomb on him.
886
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,240
Why are the girls avoiding me?
887
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,840
Why y'all being weird to me?
888
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,880
I'll let you know what Bru's been saying
about you behind your back.
889
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:54,040
Message, "I feel like I kind of owe you
an apology and an explanation."
890
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,200
"Bru told me early on
you were someone to watch out for,
891
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,960
'cause you, him, and Paul had a group chat
892
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,920
where you said
you'd have each other's backs…"
893
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,360
"…and then you ended up blocking Paul."
894
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,680
Girl, shut the fuck up. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
895
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,280
[sighs]
896
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,840
All right. Message, "Bru said
he questioned you and your priorities."
897
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:20,280
"I feel like I let him sway me too much,
and I'm sorry I misjudged you. #IFeelBad."
898
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,480
Send.
899
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,600
Sorry, Bruster.
The chicken has left the coop.
900
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,920
You have been thrown under the bus.
901
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,840
I don't like people lying on me.
I don't care if it's a game or not.
902
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,480
Don't lie on me. That's not cool.
903
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:39,280
Message, "Wow! My jaw
is literally under the carpet right now."
904
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,400
"I'm really shocked
that Bru would tell you that,
905
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,320
but I hope that Bru also told you
906
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,120
that it was literally the second day here,
and none of us knew each other."
907
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,960
[Alex] He's explaining himself.
908
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:49,960
I love this.
909
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,200
This means he wants Nathan to see,
910
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,600
"Hey, Bru's not telling you
the full story here."
911
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:56,920
I'm feeling good.
912
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:02,600
So if Bru has felt that way,
Bru probably drew the snake photo.
913
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,280
I'm glad to know
that's what kind of hand Bru is playing.
914
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,920
[exhales] Here we go. Message,
"Bru didn't mention any of that to me."
915
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,840
"I feel terrible I've been holding on
to that impression of you
916
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
without hearing your side of the story."
917
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,640
"I didn't know what to believe,
918
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,600
so I needed
to figure it out for myself." Send.
919
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,720
Well, child, I am glad you did,
920
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,240
and of course Bru didn't mention
any of that to you, honey.
921
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,560
Baby, the kids have been
dragging my name through the mud.
922
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,040
Even though
I am hardcore trashing Bru right now,
923
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,840
Bru did say these things about Frank.
924
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,680
Message, "That's actually
really disheartening to hear
925
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,920
because I really genuinely liked Bru."
926
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,040
"I'm really glad you reached out
and wanted to figure it out for yourself."
927
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,920
"I respect that so much."
928
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,960
Okay. Okay.
929
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,880
As much as I would love
for Frank to get blocked,
930
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,080
I don't see that happening.
931
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,720
And so hopefully,
this will divide him and Bru.
932
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,320
That, tonight, has definitely raised
some red flags for me.
933
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,960
I definitely look at Bru
and Nathan in a different way.
934
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:13,960
I'm super grateful
935
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,120
that Nathan felt comfortable enough
to share that information with me.
936
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,760
The gossip and the lies
that have been spread, it's crazy,
937
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:28,560
because they called me the snake when they
the one doing the slithering. Mm.
938
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:30,880
Bru is a cool dude,
939
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,160
but I have no problem stepping on anyone
to get further in this game,
940
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:37,600
and right now, I see Frank
941
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,120
as being able to help me
a lot more than Bru can.
942
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,760
