[Michelle] Previously on the show
where anyone could be anyone…

00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,800
We have made it to that point, honey.
4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560
I am taking home that money.
I don't give a damn.
5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,720
Game freaking on.
6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,440
[Michelle] Tensions rose,
and so did the prize fund…
7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,840
"$150,000"?

to pass the antivirus on to is…

-[beeps]
-Whoo!

[Michelle] Romance…
14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,920
Gotta put myself in the mind
of a 22-year-old horned up boy.

Oh!
18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,600
"This hot tub is big enough for two."

[Michelle] …betrayal…
21
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,240
I just chopped him up
and fed him to the wolves.

23

[Michelle] …blockings…
24

No.
25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,040
I'm so sorry. You're blocked.
26
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,640
I can't believe they did that.
27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,680
It sucks to lose this late in the game.
28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,880

a super-secret decision to make.

All right, let's… let's stamp it, honey.
36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800
[Michelle] …and it's about to go
to Eversen or Nathan.
37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,000
This is make or break.

Great job, brother! Great job!

All right, Eversen,
I have saved your life.

00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,200

Oh my God. No.

00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,360

Oh, Nathan. Oh, sweet Nathan. Oh.

Oh, man. He's gotta be so hurt.
60
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:09,440
I think some of my most fun moments
in The Circle
61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,040
was just flirting with Nathan.
62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Whether or not we were fake flirting
with each other or whatever it was,
63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,640
somehow he got my humor, and, like,
we met each other somewhere mentally.
64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,600
I don't know
who the Secret Super Influencer was.
65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,320
I don't even care. I'm just glad
that I've influenced them enough.
66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,760
It was a smart move, whoever did it.
67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160
I just don't know they understand
how smart of a move it was.
68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,720
I had a great shot to win this game.
69
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,880
"Before you leave,
you can meet one player face-to-face." Oh.
70
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,200
This hurts 'cause I just wanna be
in their spot so badly. Oh God.
71
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520
I could go see my number one ally, Rachel.
72
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120
'Cause if it's not me that's gonna win,
I hope it's her.
73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,880
I could go see Yu Ling.
We were also very good allies.
74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,120
We had a flirt-mance.
75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,800
She might be a little surprised
to see that I'm not Nathan.
76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,360
I could go see Frank.
77
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,760
He really touched me today
with talking about his family.
78
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,120
I think I know what I have to do
and who I have to go see.

00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Okay, let's do it.

I had a good connection with Nathan.
90
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,400
It is super possible that Nathan
could be coming to see me right now.
91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,880
I don't know. He might wanna cry, so…
You just never know.
92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,680
I will put Nathan out
a cute ol' cupcake, honey.

-Hi, Nathan.
-Hi.
102
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,160
-Can I give you a hug?
-Of course. Of course.
103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,240
Oh, Nathan. Oh my God!
104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,800
My real name's Alex.
105
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,800
-Alex?
-Yes.
106
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,920
Oh, Alex!
107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,480
-Oh. How are you?
-Oh my God.
108
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560
-This is wild.
-I know. I know. Yeah.
109
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Oh my God!
110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Don't feel bad. I literally…
Well, it was super fun flirting with you.
111
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360
-Okay. Okay.
-So hopefully it was fun flirting with me.
112
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,280
It was so awkward for me.
All I could think about was my girlfriend.
113
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,840
Oh my God. What's her name?
114
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,840
-Her name's Nicky. She's amazing.
-Nicky.
115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080
She gave me permission
to do whatever I needed to do.
116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,680
I was like, "Oh, I'm in bed."
117
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,120
And I was in my bathroom,
shaking in the corner.
118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,160
I was like,
"I'm in bed wearing just underwear."
119
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,280
This is why part of it,
I was like, "He's, like, so sweet!"
120
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,840
Well, that was part of my strategy
as a catfish.
121
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,640
I'm a young, single guy. I want people
to think I am here to meet girls.
122
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,960
Because that was the furthest thing
from the truth.
123
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560
I actually had no clue
124
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,640
'cause when you sent that picture,
I was like, "Oh shit."
125
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,480
-It was a good picture, right?
-Right, it was.
126
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,520
And then I was like,
"He's got gray sweatpants on."
127
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,600
"He's got, like, the abs," you know?
I fell off my bed.
128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,600
I was like, "Oh my God."
129
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,680
But then also I was kind of,
in the back of my head,
130
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,840
I was like,
"Mm, he's a little too smooth to be 22."
131
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Bru said he believed me.
132
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,800
Bru is the most gullible.
He is literally the sweetest.
133
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,400
He is. He was a really super sweet guy.
134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,800
-He's so sweet, and I'm like, "Bru, stop."
-Get your head in the game.
135
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,880
[Alex laughing]

[serene music playing]
137
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,560
[Michelle] While those two
chew the catfish fat,
138
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,480
the others are realizing that
Nathan ain't knocking for them tonight.
139
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,600
Nathan has not come to see me.
140
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,400
I can put my hummus away, everybody.
Don't worry.
141
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,680
I fucking knew it. I knew it.
And I'ma eat my damn cupcake.
142
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,800
[Alex] So it wasn't you, though.
You weren't the Super Influencer?
143
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,280
I was not the Super Influencer.
144
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,840
I thought if it was you or Rachel,
that I was safe.
145
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600
-So I think it was Frank.
-I have a feeling it was Frank.
146
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,840
He is playing one hell of a game.
147
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Like yourself, though.
148
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,720
-Oh, thank you--
-Yeah. Yeah.
149
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200
-Did you draw my portrait?
-I did not.
150
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,440
I've been trying to figure out
who drew your portrait,
151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,320
and I had a suspicion whoever drew it
was trying to frame me, though.
152
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,720
-[gasps]
-With the #FakeFlirtAlert.
153
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,280
I was like, "Whoever drew this
was trying to frame me."
154
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,680
-I thought it was--
-I knew you'd think it was me.
155
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,080
-I knew you would.
-No!
156
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,880
Yeah, damn it. They got to you.
Yeah, it was not me.
157
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:08,840
It did.
158
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,080
-Your portrait was so harsh.
-It was really harsh.
159
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,120
I look like a tarantula's anus.
160
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,600
What the literal hell?
I was like, "Excuse me?"
161
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,920
I think it was Eversen.
162
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,120
[gasps]
163
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,080
I really wish you
the best of luck tomorrow.
164
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,800
-You have a good chance to win.
-Thank you.
165
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,040
I think Frank has a good chance
to win too, though,
166
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,200
so you gotta be careful.
167
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,080
-I… I hope you bring home that money.
-Thank you.
168
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,200
It was a pleasure flirting with you.
Best wishes.
169
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Thank you for everything.
I'll give you a hug goodbye.
170
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:39,840
-Thank you! Oh my God.
-Good luck. Kill it.

00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,920
-[squealing] Thanks, Alex!
-Oh, man!
172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Goodbye! Oh!

00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Oh!
174
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Alex was so sweet.

[chill music playing]
176
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,280
[Michelle] So the guy playing Nathan
wasn't such a smart Alex.
177
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,120
After a tactical campaign
178
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,560
with more backstabbing
and double-crossing than a telenovela,
179
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,600
he's gone,
180
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,640
which leaves the final five, Imani,
Eversen, Yu Ling, Rachel, and Frank.
181
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,560
And they're all toasting
to their last evening in The Circle.
182
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Here is to the finale, baby.

[Michelle] Bonjour, bitches.
187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,720
It's the finale, and I am so excited.
188
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,040
I had a whole speech prepared,
but you know what?
189
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,000
I'ma let Yu Ling speak for me.

I'm in the finals.
I'm in the finals. What's up, baby?

I'm a freaking finalist.
194
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,840
I can smell the 150K.
195
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,000
It smell like cupcakes
and vanilla ice cream, girl.
196
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,720
That's how good I can smell it.
Yes, ma'am.
197
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Somebody is winning 150K today,
and it better be me.
198
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000
What's that? Morse code coming in, Circle.
[makes morse sounds]
199
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,880
It says, "Eversen is a winner today."
Oh, boom.
200
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Let's do this.

[alarm blares]

I feel like I manifested that.

-[Eversen] Come on, I just got up.
-[Yu Ling] "Alert!" What?
206
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,880
Circle, you cannot be mean to us no more,
girl, so what is the tea, honey?
207
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,360
Good morning, players. It's Michelle.

-Hey, Michelle!

What's up, girl?
211
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,560
You should be so proud of yourselves
for making it all the way to the finale.
212
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,560
I am.
213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,240
Tonight, one of you
will be crowned the winner
214
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,840
and walk away $150,000 richer.
215

Whoo! That's me!
216
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Just one thing stands in your way,
and that is your beloved Circle family.
217
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,880
Oh. Wow.
218
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,400
Later today, you guys will rate each other
for the last time
219
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,760
to decide who will win The Circle.
220
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Yes, ma'am.
221
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,480
But before all that, I sent you guys
222
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,080
a little something-something
to take the edge off. You're welcome.
223
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,680
I definitely need a little champag-ne
to take the edge off
224
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,520
or a little tequi-qui, honey.
225
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Oh, can't wait to see what she sent.

Oh, look at this little picnic basket.

Aw, thank you, Michelle. Ooh, ooh!

This is what we should've been getting
every morning

00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,360
after having to deal
with Miss Circle, honey.
233
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,440
This is exactly my shit.

Fresh fruit. Oh, what a bad bitch!

00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,840

I'm down for that.

Circle, please take me
to today's Newsfeed.

Oh, Bru!

00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,520
I'm hoping he's him,
and he's as sweet and lovely as he seems.
246
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Baby, let me tell you something.
If Bru is not Bru,
247
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,360
I'ma have to come through the screen.
248
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,680
Circle, please play Bru's message.

-[Bru] What's going on, guys?
-Oh!
250
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,720
My name is Josh Brubaker,
but y'all know me as Bru.
251
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,800
Bru!
252
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Oh, Bru!
253
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Look at this guy's jawline.
He should be a model.
254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,240
I'm proud of my performance in this game
because I stayed true to myself,
255
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,360
100% real and authentic,
256
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400
and I wouldn't have played it
any other way.
257
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,160
I really wanted to come into the game
258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,600
and prove that, like,
nice guys could finish first…
259
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:05,000
[chuckles] But look where it got me.
260
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Some nice guys finish first,
but unfortunately, not Bru.
261
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,480
Oh, it hurts to be blocked.
262
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,800
I really wanted to make it to the end
with you guys,
263
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,920
but I'm off partying
with Alyssa and Momma Carol,
264
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560
so who's the real winner?
265
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,040
Guys, it's been an absolute pleasure.
Good luck the rest of the way,
266
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,000
and I can't wait to hang with y'all
at the finale.
267
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400
I like him. [laughs]
268
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Bru is actually Bru.
That makes me feel good.
269
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,800
That's how you leave with class and style,
and I'll drink to that, Bru.

[Yu Ling] Oh my God.
271
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,400
"Nathan has left a message
for The Circle."
272
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,840
I'm excited to see what Nathan has to say.
273
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,800
He definitely seems
like a 22-year-old boy.
274
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,320
That's… that's what comes off to me.
275
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,400
I don't fully believe
that Nathan was a catfish.
276
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,440
I think he was just really wise
beyond his years.
277
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,960
Was Nathan actually Nathan?
278
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,960
Circle, please play Nathan's message.
279
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
[Alex] What's up, party people?
It's Nathan.
280
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,440
That's not a 22-year-old boy.
281
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,640
Just kidding. It's just me, Alex.
282
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,000
[screaming] Oh shit!
283
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,880
Wow!
284
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,240
I was a catfish.
285
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,200
[chuckling] What?
286
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,960
Coming into this game, I really thought
the big threats would be getting blocked,
287
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,120
[squeals]
288
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,200
so I wanted to dumb down my profile
and not come across as threatening at all.
289
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,320
Just make friends. Be a party dude.
I'm just here for good times and chicks.
290
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,960
[whispering] "Chicks"?
291
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,960
[Alex] But in the end, that wasn't enough
to get me to the finale.
292
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,760
I am a huge fan of this game.
293
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,440
I've had so much fun with all of you,
294
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,360
and I wish you guys the best of luck
in the final.
295
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680
I am shocked. [laughs]
296
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,680
How did I miss that? Like…
297
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Takes one to know one,
and I knew you weren't for real.
298
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,560
[laughing]
299
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,000
I can't believe
that Yu Ling was flirting with him.
300
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,960
Yu Ling told that man
that he could take her clothes-- [laughs]
301
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840
I think everyone experienced
a secondhand embarrassment for me
302
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,200
when they saw that.
303
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,840
I gotta go see
what the hell Yu Ling is saying,
304
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,160
'cause I know
she is still tore up from the floor up
305
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,080
about Nathan not being Nathan, honey,
so I gotta see.

00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,600

good morning, finalists."

for a second?"

"I'm dead. Crying laughing emoji."
312

I cannot wait to see
what they have to say. [laughs]

with all my favorite people."

had it to the nail, honey.

"Definitely hated to see two go
at this point in the game,
319
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,560
but I'm really glad to be here."
320

"Yu Ling, I know your jaw is on the floor
right now. Laughing emoji."
321
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,960
"Because you wanted Nathan
to take your clothes off
322
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,440
and feed you grapes. Are you okay, sis?"

[playful music playing]
324
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,240
Exactly what I wanted to know.
325
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
I already know. She is not okay, honey.
326
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,200
So embarrassing.
327
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,800
Frank, I feel like,
if you're worried about Yu Ling,
328
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,600
somebody might have to resuscitate
my man Eversen once he sees Imani.

Like, I would've loved to have been
a fly on the wall for that conversation.

Message, "Every time
I aggressively flirted

he was in the corner shaking."

"He had a girlfriend too. LOL."
337
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,920
You flirted with, not only a catfish,
but somebody that had a girlfriend?
338
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,960

00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,160
on The Circle with this queen,
505
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,880
and that's not just
'cause of her eyeliner.
506
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,720
She's flirty. She's funny. She's fierce.
507
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,160
She's Yu Ling.
508
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,680
[music fades out]
509
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,320
[screaming] Oh my God!
510
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,560
This is ridiculous.
511
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,720
[chill music playing]
512
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,560
Get ahold of yourself.
513
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,720
I'm, like, terrified.
514
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,880
[alarm blares]
515
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,000
[Yu Ling] "Alert!"
516
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Oh my God, what? Circle, what is it?
517
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,320
[gasps]
"Frank is on his way to meet you now"?
518
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Fabulous. Perfect. Um…
519
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,320
[laughs nervously] I'm gonna hide.
520
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,400
[Michelle] He's bossed us since day one
with empathy, kindness,
521
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720
and the greatest collection
of catchphrases The Circle has ever seen.
522
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,600
I'm gonna scare the living bejesus
out of him, you know?
523
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,640
[tense music playing]
524
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,760
[Michelle] He's loud. He's proud.
Ooh, honey, did we mention he was loud?
525
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,080
Oh, child, it's Frank.
526
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,640
[music fades out]
527
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,880
Baby, it's so--
528
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,080
-[Yu Ling screaming]
-[Frank screaming]
529
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,880
-Frank! Oh my God!
-[falsetto] Oh my God!
530
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,000
[both screaming]
531
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,200
-Oh my God! Oh my God!
-Oh my God! Oh my God!
532
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,000
-You look so good.
-Oh… oh my--
533
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,440
You're really short, bitch.
534
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,680
What did I say? My profile didn't lie!
535
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,000
-[whispering] Oh my God.
-It's wild that we're here right now.
536
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,000
It is… The fact that we became
just an alliance, and we killed it.
537
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,120
We literally killed it.
538
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,760
And we weren't even trying to.
We were just playing a game.
539
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,520
And like, I feel like
we were just all, like, vibing.
540
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,480
And I'ma be honest. I said, "The person
that Yu Ling was giving the first day…"
541
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,920
When it was just us four,
me, you, Carol and Alyssa,
542
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,360
I felt like when everybody else came,
you kind of pulled back a little bit.
543
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,720
And I was like, "I really want…"
544
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,000
I said, "I don't know if she's shy,
or if she's being strategic."
545
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,240
-I said, "I really want to see…"
-…who she is.
546
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,600
"…all of her," 'cause I knew you had
a big personality, like, big like mine.
547
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
I could tell from the pictures
and everything.
548
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,640
So I'm like, "She holding back."
549
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,560
"And I don't know if she being strategic,
550
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,880
or it's gonna take her a while
to open up."
551
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Okay, here's my thing, though, Frank.
552
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,920
There's five of us. You and me are real.
I knew that, though.
553
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,480
I was like, "Frank's genuine.
Frank is just real as hell."
554
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,600
But you know, I think Rachel's real too.
555
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,160
That's what I was gonna say.
556
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,280
If not, whoever played her
played the hell outta her.
557
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,960
-What if Imani's not real?
-I would be the most shocked about that.
558
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,120
-Imani's real as hell.
-She feels so genuine.
559
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,440
But Eversen…
560
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,200
If anybody's a catfish,
I feel like it's him.
561
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,560
But I literally feel like
everybody's real.
562
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,000
[alarm blares]
563
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,640
-[Yu Ling] "Alert."
-Oh shit.
564
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,560
[Yu Ling laughs]
565
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,920
-"Rachel is on her way to meet you now."
-Rachel.
566
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,520
[Michelle] She's our ghost-busting,
catfish-hunting, accordion-playing legend,
567
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040
and one of H-Town's finest.
568
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Oh my God, I'm so scared.
569
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,520
-Can she hurry up? Rachel, girl, come on!
-Yeah, Rachel, where are you?
570
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,440
[Michelle] When you need a friend, wisdom,
or just a laugh, who you gonna call?
571
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:28,800
It's Rachel.
572
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,560
-Oh my God.
-Oh my God.
573
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,800
[all screaming]
574
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,520
[Yu Ling] Oh my God!
575
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,920
[all screaming]
576
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,400
[Frank] Oh my God!
577
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,720
Oh my God, look at your dress!
578
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,880
-Oh my God. Oh.
-Oh, Rachel!
579
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,600
-[Yu Ling] Oh my God!
-[Frank] Oh.
580
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,400
[Rachel] Oh my God! Do you feel my heart?
581
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,600
-[Frank] Oh my God!
-I'm dying.
582
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,000
Oh my God! Look at you!
583
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,200
-[Yu Ling] Oh my God.
-[Frank] My God. Isn't she little?
584
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,400
Now, I was expecting to see pink hair,
but I'll take this!
585
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,840
The whole time I was like,
"They think I got pink hair."
586
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,160
Oh my God.
587
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,280
-[Yu Ling] I really did.
-I know. It washed out, okay?
588
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,640
-[Frank] Okay.
-Okay, understood.
589
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,400
-[exhales] Look at us.
-[Yu Ling screams]
590
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,760
[Frank] I think we gotta sit down
before we get in trouble.
591
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,840
-We did it. We did it.
-We freaking did it.
592
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,200
And I don't even think…
I think it's amazing that we did it
593
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,560
'cause I really think we just formed
genuine friendships and connections.
594
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,880
-Then we ended up here.
-I know.
595
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,520
I don't think
anybody was being super strategic.
596
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,480
-[Yu Ling] No.
-No. This is a good final table.
597
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,960
-Mm.
-[Frank] It's so good.
598
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,880
[Rachel] It's good.
599
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,160
I think I really felt us
when they extended the antivirus to me,
600
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,400
I wanted to save you first,
and I was like,
601
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,040
"I hope Rachel does not feel like
I'm throwing her under the bus."
602
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,960
No, no, no.
603
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,040
I had to use that moment
and test this little one right here.
604
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,160
And I knew it too.
605
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,000
'Cause I said,
"If she's loyal to me and Rachel,
606
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,080
she's going to save Rachel right now."
And I felt it in my heart.
607
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,640
No, and I'm so grateful that you did that
'cause you know, I thought…
608
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,200
When you gave that to Yu Ling,
I was, like, ready to pack my bags.
609
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,120
And when you saved me,
it was just like, "And that's a rider."
610
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Like, "And that's it, and that's it.
Like, there's no turning back from that."
611
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,520
The way that it worked out is
exactly how it was supposed to.
612
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Yeah. That's so true.
613
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:16,480
I think my only regret
was saving Nathan over Alyssa.
614
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,440
It was just because I had never had
a private conversation with her.
615
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,960
And you know, Nathan and I did have
some good chats, and he was like…
616
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,600
And I'm so easy.
617
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,720
He was like, "Move-in buddies,"
and I was like, "He's right!" [laughing]
618
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,480
[Alarm blares]
619
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,560
-Okay!
-Oh shit!
620
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,520
[Yu Ling screaming]
621
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,440
-[Rachel] Okay.
-[Frank] Okay.
622
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,360
[Yu Ling] Oh my…
623
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:40,800
[Rachel] Yeah!
624
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,840
"Imani's on her way to meet you now."
625
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,160
-[Rachel] It's my people.
-Imani!
626
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,080
I love Imani.
627
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,200
-I'm ready to see her.
-[Frank] Me too.
628
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,240
[suspenseful music playing]
629
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,800
-I'm nervous.
-Don't be. This is gonna be her.
630
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,120
Imani's gonna be real.
631
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,680
[Michelle] She's a classy man.
632
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,800
He's a performance coach
who played his wife's homegirl.
633
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,640
I feel like she smells good.
634
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,920
-She does smell good.
-I know she smells good.
635
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,200
She takes care of herself,
she's got manicured nails.
636
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,520
[Michelle] And he's the only
Circle catfish in the finale. It's Imani.
637
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,440
Oh God.
638
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,640
My heart is thumping.
639
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,400
[music intensifies, fades out]
640
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,000
-[Yu Ling screaming]
-What's good, Circle family?
641
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400
-[Yu Ling] What?
-[Frank] Oh my God!
642
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,320
-[Yu Ling] Oh my God!
-[Rachel] Who the fuck?
643
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,520
-I want my mom!
-Oh my!
644
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,920
-How are you?
-[indistinct yelling]
645
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,920
You're so cute!
How you doing? How are you?
646
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,600
-Oh my God! What?
-[Trevor] It's so nice to meet you.
647
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,640
-How you doing?
-Oh my God! You're incredibly hot.
648
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,640
He's so hot. What the fuck?
649
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,760
Give me a hug, man.
650
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,880
-How you doing?
-Great.
651
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,880
-[Trevor] It's so good to meet y'all.
-[Frank] Oh my God. I am shook.
652
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,960
[Trevor] I am not Imani.
653
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,640
-Who are you?
-[Yu Ling] What's your name?
654
00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:59,640
I'm Trevor.
655
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,960
-Trevor.
-[Yu Ling] Trevor.
656
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,000
Trevor, why the fuck
did you not come in as yourself?
657
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,920
So, I actually couldn't come in as myself.
658
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,160
-What?
-[Rachel] Why?
659
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,600
My wife played me--
660
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,520
I was about to say,
you're DeLeesa's husband.
661
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,160
-You're Trevor!
-Yeah.
662
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,520
You're Trevor! [screaming] Oh my God!
663
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,520
-You are a legend.
-[Trevor] Thank you.
664
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880
-[Frank] Y'all did that.
-What the hell? Need a kid? 'Cause I'm…
665
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,920
-They got a kid.
-Trust me.
666
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,920
She already wanna have a third.
I'm straight.
667
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,640
No, you gotta give her one more.
668
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,080
You are a lucky man.
669
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,240
-Thank you.
-[Frank] Yeah.
670
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,040
[Trevor] Oh my gosh!
It's good to meet y'all.
671
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,040
We not talking about Imani.
We talk about DeLeesa.
672
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,640
[Yu Ling, Rachel] I'm shocked.
673
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,280
Y'all really didn't suspect?
674
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,440
-I was like, "I am so confident…"
-No. I was so sure.
675
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,400
"…that this is a strong, smart woman."
676
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,320
Everything I am as a man
I am because of a woman.
677
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,720
-That's right. That's right.
-Mm. Wow.
678
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,960
I've got so much respect
when I meet a strong woman,
679
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,120
that's how I got here.
680
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,640
But honestly, any man that can be
that good of a woman, good on you.
681
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,200
-But did you see how his wife played him?
-[Yu Ling] That's true.
682
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,880
-[Rachel] I know.
-Legendary and iconic.
683
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640
-[Trevor] Thank you.
-Iconic. Tens across the board.
684
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,920
Oh. I really… I was like,
somebody had to be onto me.
685
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,880
-No. Like, 100% sure you were her.
-I was positive.
686
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,520
Oh! That makes me feel so good.
687
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,000
There was times I said,
"I don't know if I can pull this off."
688
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,280
Oh my God. Who is Imani?
689
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,280
So Imani is actually
a friend of my wife's.
690
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,840
I am absolutely shaken
by this information. [laughing]
691
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,440
So, let's talk Portrait Mode.
692
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,080
-[Yu Ling] Okay.
-Whose you do?
693
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,640
-Nathan's.
-[Frank] Nathan's.
694
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:30,960
-[Rachel] Oh!
-How did you know?
695
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,840
It was one thing he said to me
in the Toga Party Chat.
696
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,800
It was his sexy pose. He's like, um,
you know, "Mine would be The Thinker."
697
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,960
-I said, "Bro, if I'm 22, The Thinker?"
-The Thinker?
698
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,440
"Mine would be The Drinker.
Like, I'm not saying nothing like that."
699
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,920
And I was over here, like, "Yeah,
I can see that! He work out! I see it!"
700
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,680
I was over there like this and everything.
Like, oh. It went right over my head.
701
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,280
-[Yu Ling] Oh my God.
-[Trevor] No, no.
702
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,760
Can we talk
about that that guy was that smooth?
703
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,760
-Yeah. I was [gags]--
-Well, he got a girlfriend.
704
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,400
-[Rachel] That's true!
-It's true. It's true. It's true.
705
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,400
When I said, "You did a great job, sir,"
he said, "Oh, really?"
706
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,120
And I was like, "Well, to be fair,
I flirt with anything that moves, so…"
707
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,160
I was close to flirting with Imani
but said, "Imani's flirting with Eversen."
708
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,880
Honestly, I came in. I was like,
"I'll do whatever I gotta do."
709
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,880
"I'll flirt with whoever I need to."
It's wild.
710
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Yeah, I was so excited. I was, like,
planning you and Eversen's wedding.
711
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,240
-I was like, "I want Circle babies."
-I mean, shoot.
712
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,400
-Oh my God.
-I don't know.
713
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,840
You think it's a she?
You think Eversen's not real?
714
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,000
-No, I don't.
-Wait. Is Eversen DeLeesa?
715
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,920
[Trevor] No.
716
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,760
-I mean, shoot, who's watching my kids?
-[Rachel laughs]
717

-Y'all… y'all can pay for a babysitter.
-[all laughing]

[Rachel] We're about to find out today.
722
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,440
-I need a quick sip. Gotta take a sip.
-Oh my God. Oh my God.

"Eversen is on his way to meet you now."

-Awkward!

for a living,
727
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,560
and now he can add every one of us
to that list.
728
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,880
I'm hoping, if it is the real guy,
like if it's that dude,
729
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,400
he's not too mad.
730
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,000
[Michelle] He's an extrovert,
an expert flirt in a tux and shirt.
731
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,480
It's Eversen.

-Nope.

Now I know. Now I see.

00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,760
Hey, man,
it's been a pleasure talking to you.
757
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,120
When I said… I said,
"She won't out-flirt me."
758
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,640
"We'll make this flirting look good."
759
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,800
I wasn't really expecting you
to come out swinging the way you did.
760
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,560
-Oh! Hey!
-In the chat, you threw a couple in there.

-I gotta go. I'm coming correct. You know?
763
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,880
After that, I was like, "All right,
I gotta get my mind right." Like…

"What am I gonna say?
How am I gonna say it?"

I was like… I was losing sleep
'cause I was like, "I can't mess this up."
766
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,720
I think, to try to…
to try to at least match your energy
767
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,360
or make it believable enough for you
was the biggest challenge.
768
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,760
You know what I mean? I think I did okay.
769
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,280

-Definitely.
-Yeah.

Well, I… I was like…
776
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,200
That was hard.
777
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,160
Nathan and I had a conversation,
778
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:21,720
um, uh, and he basically let me know
that Bru told him to watch out for me…
779
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:24,120
-What?
-…because I had sent Paul home.
780
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,040
Whoa.
781
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,720
He was like, "I'm apologizing to you
782
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,960
because I've been avoiding you
for that reason."
783

"And I feel like you been
so positive in this game,

and I haven't gotten a chance
to get to know you because of that."
785
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,480
But like, I felt like,
at this point in the game,
786
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,280
it's just a little too late
for me to just trust you.
787
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,080
Even though I just met y'all,
788
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,960

about y'all than I knew about him.

-[Rachel] Ditto, yeah.
-The feeling's mutual.
795

Each and every one of you, I believe,
deserves a piece of this prize, so I…
796
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,520
Truly.

00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,480
Nobody could take this shit from us,
all right? We are bonded.

-Straight-up joined at the hip forever.
-[Eversen] Yes, forever.

we're so much better now and after this

-All right, yo.
824
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,280
[Rachel] Whoo, baby.
825
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,640
-Oh. Everyone is so tall.
-It's okay.
826
00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:17,040
I got… I got… I got a pocket for you
827
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,160
-I got a pocket for you. Don't worry.
-I'll hop right in. Thank you.
828
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:21,240
[Eversen] Imani, come on.
829
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,880
[Frank] It's so dope
that we can walk out together.
830
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,960
♪ Baby, in our wildest moments
We could be the greatest ♪
831
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,320
♪ We could be the greatest
Baby, in our… ♪
832
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,200
[Michelle] It's all come down to this,
The Circle finale.
833
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,800
Our finalists are on their way up
to the penthouse.
834
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680
Let's greet those players
we lost along the way.
835
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,120
And Paul, aka Parker,
might have been the first out,
836
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,680
but she's the first up to this party.
837
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
-[bottle pops]
-Ooh! Whoo! Did it!
838
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,320
[Michelle]
And here comes basketball badass, Crissa.
839
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,720
-[screaming]
-[laughs] Oh my goodness.
840
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,160
No way! You're real!
841
00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:59,120
Hi, Crissa! Oh my God.
842
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,320
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you!
843
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,840
-Oh my God!
-Girl, why didn't you come in as yourself?
844
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,640
[Michelle]
Our next party-going player is Alyssa.
845
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:08,680
-[gasps] Hello!
-[Parker] Hi!
846
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,920
-[Crissa] Oh, this chick!
-[Parker] Girl!
847
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,240
I'm Alyssa!
848
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,360
-Hi.
-I'm so sorry.
849
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,360
-How you doing?
-I'm good. How are you?
850
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,240
-Hi, pretty!
-Oh my God. You are beautiful.
851
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,280
You are beautiful.
852
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,760
-It's so nice to meet you.
-It's so nice to meet you.
853
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:22,920
I was dying to talk to you.
854
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,920
-What are you doing here?
-That's what I'm saying!
855
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,760
[Michelle] Okay, break it up, ladies,
'cause here comes Momma Carol, aka John.
856
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,560
-I'm Momma Carol!
-[Alyssa screams]
857
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,400
-Stop it! Oh my God!
-I knew it!
858
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,440
Yeah, I'm John.
I'm Carol's son in real life.
859
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,160
I was like, "It's Victoria or John."
860
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:41,840
-We played the same game.
-[John] Yes.
861
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,720
[Michelle] Guess who? It's your boy, Bru!
862
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,520
-[all screaming]
-[John] Oh my God!
863
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,720
-Bring it in, bro.
-It's my sweet mother.
864
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:51,760
[John] What's up, baby?
865
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,720
-Alyssa, oh my gosh, how are you?
-How are you?
866
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,560
[Michelle] From Bru to bro,
here comes Nathan, played by Alex.
867
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:58,720
Oh no!
868
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,880
-Who is this?
-What?
869
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:03,040
Hi, everyone. I'm Nathan.
Nice to meet you guys.
870
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,040
[all screaming]
871
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:05,640
-Shut up!
-Are you kidding?
872
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:07,120
My little bro?
873
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,280
-It's me.
-What's up?
874
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,840
-Nathan! How are you, my sweet?
-Good to see you.
875
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,240
My real name's Alex. So Alex, not Nathan.
876
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,800
Nathan is just a 22-year-old frat bro.
He's my brother's roommate.
877
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,000
I was playing the game hard.
I didn't want people to see I was playing.
878
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,440
Yeah, yeah.
879
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,480
[upbeat music playing]
880
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:32,160
-Oh hell yes!
-[contestants cheering]
881
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:33,560
You guys!
882
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:38,240
Oh my goodness, you guys are so cute.
Take a seat. Take a seat, everybody.
883
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,840
Would you guys stop flirting back there?
884
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,200
Don't make me have to break up the class.
885
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,240
I have to say,
you guys did a fantastic job.
886
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,560
-This was a good season!
-[Bru] Oh, all right, guys!
887
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,880
[cheering]
888
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,560
And Jersey represented.
889
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,880
Look at you wearing a white blazer
with no stains.
890
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,280
Momma Carol would be proud.
891
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,960
So, I have to start with you,
Parker, aka Paul.
892
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,560
-You went in as your dad.
-Yes.
893
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,560
-I did.
-[Michelle] You did not do a great job.
894
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,880
No. I did so bad.
It was a better idea on paper.
895
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,240
Yeah, because when I got in there,
I was like, "I'm not 56-year-old man."
896
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,480
I didn't know what to say.
897
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,280
My favorite is that when you…
you went to go meet Momma Carol,
898
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,120
and both you guys
were playing your parents.
899
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,160
-Yeah.
-I mean, what was that like?
900
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,040
I had a boob feeling Carol's a catfish.
901
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,520
I just had this gut feeling.
I said, "I wanna go see her."
902
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,600
But then I saw him, and I was shook.
I was like, "Okay."
903
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,720
-What you mean shook?
-I absolutely knew she was a catfish.
904
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,360
Will there be a family dinner happening
with the parents anytime soon?
905
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,440
-We talked it through.
-[John] We made plans.
906
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,000
[Michelle] Okay. Parker,
there's so many things that you missed.
907
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,560
-[Parker] Fully.
-Do you remember a player named Jared?
908
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Yes.
909
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,800
Okay, well that was a player
that was being catfished
910
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,720
by two of the Spice Girls
named Emma and Mel B.
911
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,800
They were in The Circle,
and they lasted long enough
912
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,680
to add to the pot, right,
of the grand prize, $50,000.
913
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,120
And I got blocked first? Oh!
914
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,200
So, Alyssa, what was it like
when you met the Spice Girls?
915
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,960
They were so nice.
916
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:12,280
And just, like, the energy was insane.
I couldn't believe that they were there.
917
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Like, I will never forget that
as long as I live.
918
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,320
I love that.
Crissa, let me ask you something.
919
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,360
I'ma be honest.
It felt like you were doing really well.
920
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,480
-Me?
-[Michelle] You were well-liked, popular.
921
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,360
-You were popping, dynamic.
-Thanks.
922
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,200
-Where do you think it shifted for you?
-I'm still trying to figure that out.
923
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,120
-I'm gonna tell you what I think.
-Please.
924
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,960
-When you were voted the player to win…
-Yes. That was game over.
925
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,280
…that's when the target was on your back.
Wouldn't you agree, Alyssa?
926
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,240
-Yes. So, I'll tell you--
-Ooh! Oh! Oh, Michelle!
927
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,680
You weren't giving enough in the chat,
928
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,040
so I thought you were gonna be a player
that was gonna play so close to the chest
929
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,080
that I would never get trust from you.
930
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,240
Right. And I feel like
you had a ton of notes.
931
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,080
-You are a studious person.
-Yes. Yes.
932
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,480
It was a lot of notes.
933
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,360
It looked like A Beautiful Mind
in my room.
934
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,720
[all laughing]
935
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Carol, aka John,
how hard was it for you to play your mom?
936
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,320
Because at one point,
you're getting sex tips from Alyssa.
937
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,680
-Yeah, that--
-Oh my God!
938
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,280
I gave you sex tips
about your mom and your dad.
939
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,440
-Yes, you did. That happened.
-[Michelle] Yes. That happened.
940
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,040
-I was clutching a pillow. It was brutal.
-You played along so well.
941
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,640
Now, Bru, you had
probably the hardest decision this season
942
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:21,840
where you had to pick
943
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,560
between your Circle girlfriend
and your Circle momma,
944
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,760
and you proved to everybody
you're a momma's boy.
945
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,720
-Had to do it. Had to do it.
-[John] Thanks, man.
946
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,720
I knew I was sending home
such a strong alliance.
947
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,440
These were my number one or my number two.
948
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,360
After meeting Alyssa, though,
it was like, such a… Oh my gosh.
949
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,080
We clicked so well. It's so wild
how different it is from the game--
950
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,640
How well did y'all click?
951
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:41,560
I mean, we only had a few minutes.
952
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,520
-[Michelle] Y'all gonna be clicking later?
-[all laughing]
953
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,760
-Stop.
-I was so sad.
954
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,800
Nathan, aka Alex.
955
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,680
-I do prefer Alex.
-[Michelle] Okay.
956
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,800
Where do you think you tripped up?
957
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,800
I was so focused on the strategy
and surviving another round
958
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,480
that I maybe didn't make
as strong of connections
959
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,560
with the other players as I needed to.
960
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,480
There was a good trio
of Frank, Rachel, and Yu Ling
961
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,920
that I kept trying to break into.
962
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,880
And do you think that they were
such a strong triangle in The Circle, LOL,
963
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,400
because they were being real
with each other?
964
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,280
That would be my guess. I was being fake.
I was throwing shade where I could.
965
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,760
I was lying a ton about everything,
966
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,840
and that probably is what hindered me
from making my way in.
967
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,240
So now you guys have all met each other.
968
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,640
-You ready to meet The Circle finalists?
-I am.
969
00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,400
-Absolutely.
-[all cheering] Yes!
970
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,080
First up is The Circle style icon.
It's Yu Ling!
971
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,440
[cheering]
972
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,280
-Oh my God, hello!
-Long time no see.
973
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,880
Long time no see.
Oh my God! Alyssa, she's so hot.
974
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,280
[Alyssa laughs]
975
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,320
-Hi!
-Oh my God.
976
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,720
-Hi, Michelle.
-Hi, boo.
977
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,880
It's all about the good vibes, tequila,
and titties with our next finalist.
978
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,840
Please give it up for Frank!
979
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:01,160
[cheering]
980
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:06,000
[shouting] Yeah! Oh my God.
981
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,640
That's what I'm talking about!
982
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,840
Oh my God! Hi!
983
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,120
Hi, nice to meet you!
984
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,080
-[Michelle] Hi, boo.
-Hi.
985
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,040
She manifested her way
into The Circle finale. It's Rachel!
986
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,400
[cheering, applauding]
987
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,240
-Hi, guys! It's so nice to meet you!
-[Alex] Nice to meet you!
988
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,000
Congrats.
989
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,040
I am… I am so sorry. I'm sorry.
990
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,240
[John] Hug it out.
991
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,640
-I just… I knew.
-Everybody did. Everybody did.
992
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,320
Hi.
993
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:45,160
Next up, it's our cruise ship director
that sailed his way into the finale.
994
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:46,360
It's Eversen.
995
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,440
[cheering, applauding]
996
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,120
Thank you. Thank you.
997
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,920
-Sorry.
-Hello, Carol. You all right?
998
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,480
-[Parker] Hi! I'm Paul.
-Nice to meet you, Paul.
999
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,400
-Nice to meet you.
-I love you. So handsome. So handsome.
1000
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:00,920
Oh.
1001
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,960
Next up,
this player might look slightly familiar.
1002
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,720
Have we seen her before? Or him?
1003
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,240
[gasps]
1004
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:14,240
Our final finalist is Imani, aka Trevor,
aka DeLeesa's husband,
1005
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,080
-the winner from season two!
-[all screaming]
1006
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,720
Yo, what's good, everybody?
1007
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,240
-What?
-[Trevor] How you doing? Nice to meet you.
1008
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,640
What's up, yo? How are you?
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, y'all.
1009
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:30,520
-[Parker] Oh my God!
-Wait. What the heck?
1010
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,480
We have to give it up for our finalists,
1011
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,120
thank you so much
for playing a great game.
1012
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,560
-Good job, guys.
-You guys did it.
1013
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,480
Okay, so, Trevor, I mean, I'm shooketh.
1014
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,920
I can't believe you came,
and you catfished.
1015
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,800
-You played a great game.
-Thank you.
1016
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,800
Seeing what your wife went through…
1017
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,280
-Mm-hmm.
-Obviously, the money is amazing.
1018
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,080
But what was your motivation, really,
for coming to The Circle this season?
1019
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,600
How many people can say that, right?
1020
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,360
Like a… a husband and wife
to come on this show and, you know…
1021
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,040
Regardless of the situation
or the outcome, I'm so happy to be here.
1022
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,080
Did your wife give you any tips?
1023
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,040
I actually just followed my wife around.
I let her do her thing.
1024
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,280
I was like, "I'll take notes."
1025
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,920
But, uh, at the end of the day,
you get in the zone.
1026
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,440
So, it… it just kind of flows.
1027
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,080
-He got too in the zone with me, though.
-I mean!
1028
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,480
-[Trevor] We took it there.
-We took it there.
1029
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,640
Yes, you guys had a flirty chat.
It was eggplant emoji.
1030
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:27,560
-[Parker] Oh!
-[Trevor] Yeah, it really was fun.
1031
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,160
I was like,
"Yo, I'm a whole woman right now."
1032
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:35,440
I was up in the hot tub feeling fabulous.
Like, "Ooh, I like this. This is cool."
1033
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:39,160
Yu Ling, you had
a couple of different alliances, right?
1034
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:41,200
-Yeah.
-You fell in love easily with people.
1035
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,480
Let's say you had friendships.
You were in a throuple.
1036
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,280
-Then you were in a whole other alliance.
-Yep. It was the Inner Trust Circle.
1037
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,080
-[Michelle] Yes.
-And it felt more like this trio was…
1038
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,440
They were the two people
I knew I could trust,
1039
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,120
and I think after that move that I made,
where I saved Rachel, I was like,
1040
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,520
"I know everyone hates me
in here right now."
1041
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,040
And I retreated back to them,
1042
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,720
and I tried to repair
as honestly as I could.
1043
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,480
I will say, leaving that game,
I was so mad at you.
1044
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,440
-I… And I knew it. I felt it.
-[Alyssa] I was so mad.
1045
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,040
I didn't consider
that the thought process was,
1046
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,440
"I'll pick her because I know
she'll pick this person,
1047
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:17,560
then they'll save her."
1048
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,320
I should have thought, "You have
a lot of alliances with a lot of people."
1049
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,120
"It's not always gonna be me
that you're gonna choose."
1050
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,480
"And ultimately
we only got to pick one person."
1051
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,960
Did you use your heart
when flirting with Nathan?
1052
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,800
-Child!
-[Yu Ling shouting] Oh my God!
1053
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,400
I terrified the man.
1054
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:39,520
I will say there was a nasty portrait
that was drawn of me,
1055
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,240
and there was one #FakeFlirt and, um…
1056
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,920
Whoever did that framed me.
You did a great job.
1057
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,160
Who drew the portrait?
1058
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,040
-That gave me nightmares.
-Gonna have to say it was me.
1059
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,360
Oh my God!
1060
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,240
Listen, let me tell you.
Yu Ling is so on brand.
1061
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,240
Every message is well placed.
She ain't got a word off,
1062
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,400
but the way she said something to Nathan,
I was like, "She flirting with Nathan."
1063
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,560
"Nathan a little boy.
He don't know what's going on."
1064
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,120
"She got him in her little pocket."
1065
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,880
I said, "Fake Flirt Alert."
I was like, "#FakeFlirtAlert."
1066
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,880
You didn't have to make her look
like a gremlin.
1067
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,240
[Eversen] That's what I said!
1068
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,920
I didn't expect the portrait game
to be like beast mode.
1069
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,840
-It was so mean.
-Oh, baby.
1070
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,560
Do we know who, um,
drew the… the picture of Frank?
1071
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:20,880
-Who?
-Who?
1072
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:21,800
That was me.
1073
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,040
-[Rachel vocalizes]
-[Yu Ling] Oh!
1074
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,320
I drew Frank the snake.
1075
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,200
-[Rachel] Why?
-[Yu Ling] Nathaniel!
1076
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,880
-It created doubt.
-[Frank] I was floored.
1077
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,200
That's what it was… it's supposed to do.
1078
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,040
Frank, you went into The Circle,
and your vibe was positivity,
1079
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,520
and everybody felt that,
and that's how you wanted to play.
1080
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,560
Was that the move all the time?
1081
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,200
Well, it's not really the move,
1082
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:47,240
'cause that is really, like, genuinely
who I am at least 90% of the time.
1083
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,720
I try to just be positive.
1084
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,360
My favorite compliment is
when people say, "I love your energy."
1085
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,560
I don't care about people saying,
"Oh, you look nice." Or, "You're cute."
1086
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:01,520
I saw you change
when Bru called you a ray of sunshine.
1087
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,800
-Yeah, that meant a lot.
-No, I'm the same as you.
1088
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,160
I just love taking the opportunity
while you have it.
1089
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,080
You never know
what life's gonna throw at you,
1090
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:12,560
so always tell people how you feel
and the things you appreciate about them.
1091
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:17,240
Just feeling that energy, and him
being able to be, you know, vulnerable,
1092
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,440
and see me for my full self
regardless of the fact
1093
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,720
that I'm a Black, gay male,
like, that meant a lot to me
1094
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,920
because it means that I'm connecting
with more than just people
1095
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,080
that look like me,
talk like me, and walk like me.
1096
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,240
Take us to church, Frank.
1097
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,480
Rachel, I gotta get to you
because you know,
1098
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,520
you came in as a newbie, right?
1099
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,400
What was your strategy going in?
1100
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,800
Even though it may seem it,
nothing I did was strategic.
1101
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,760
I just kind of spoke from the heart,
and if Nathan--
1102
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,200
-Excuse me, young lady.
-[Rachel] What? What?
1103
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,480
[Michelle] When you roasted Momma Carol…
1104
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:50,680
[Rachel] I'm so sorry.
1105
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,800
…you got all the high fives
from everybody else.
1106
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,920
And that, I think,
gave everybody like a, "huh?"
1107
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,960
That #MommaCarol thing,
it felt like branding to me.
1108
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,680
But when I saw John come up,
I was like, "Yeah, correct."
1109
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,400
John, did you have, like, any idea
that people were so onto you?
1110
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,800
Oh yeah. Are you kidding?
1111
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,480
But now you're a finalist.
1112
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,800
How does it feel, everyone?
How does it feel to be a finalist?
1113
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:15,920
-Oh God.
-Insane.
1114
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,880
[Eversen] Feels great.
1115
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,080
It's just incredible to see
so many, like, genuine people up here.
1116
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,000
So congratulations to you guys.
I mean, you played an amazing game.
1117
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:25,240
And you're all finalists,
1118
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,320
but there can only be
one winner of The Circle.
1119
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:32,520
Only one winner
to take home that $150,000 prize.
1120
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,480
Please stand.
1121
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:44,120
Earlier today, you guys rated each other
for the last time, and the results are in.
1122
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,560
[suspenseful music playing]
1123
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:48,080
In fifth place…
1124
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,080
Eversen.
1125
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,840
Thank you so much for your time
in The Circle.
1126
00:54:17,720 --> 00:54:19,480
And in fourth place…
1127
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:30,960
[scoffs, chuckles]
1128
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,160
Rachel.
1129
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,480
In third place…
1130
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:08,840
Yu Ling.
1131
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,080
Oh wow!
1132
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:19,600
Frank,
1133
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,200
Imani, Trevor, it's down to you two.
1134
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,200
One of you will be crowned
the winner of The Circle
1135
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,400
and take home $150,000.
1136
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,720
How are you guys feeling?
1137
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:34,760
I can't breathe.
1138
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,160
Right? I don't know which way is up
right now.
1139
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:38,440
Breathe.
1140
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,440
-Come on, brother. I'm sorry. It's sweaty.
-Mine too.
1141
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,600
And the winner of The Circle
1142
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:59,320
and taking home $150,000 is…
1143
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,120
[music intensifies, stops]
1144
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,880
[contestants screaming, cheering]
1145
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,320
[Rachel] I'm proud of you.
1146
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,560
Frank, congratulations!
You're the winner of The Circle.
1147
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,400
How do you feel?
1148
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,840
-[Parker] Oh my God.
-Aw, Frank.
1149
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,800
-It's okay. Take your time.
-Oh my God. Um.
1150
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,840
It just means the world to me
1151
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,400
because, like, I've been fighting…
1152
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,480
[voice breaks] Like, trying to just be me
1153
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,560
and just fight through everything
that I've been through,
1154
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:50,960
and I just feel like--
1155
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:54,560
-You did it.
-Congratulations, Frank. You did it.
1156
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,800
Everybody, let's hear it one more time
1157
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:06,040
for your winner
of this season of The Circle, Frank!
1158
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,120
[all cheering]
1159
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,520
Go Frank, go Frank, go Frank.
1160
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:18,880
[all] Go, Frank, go Frank,
go Frank, go Frank, go Frank, go Frank.
1161
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,040
[shouting] Yes!
1162
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:23,880
Oh my God!
1163
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,840
[Parker] I met you
and was like, "I like him."
1164
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,480
-Really?
-I was like, "He's a good vibe."
1165
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,440
You could maybe get Paul's approval.
We'll see about that.
1166
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,560
-Carol will have to have a conversation.
-Oh, will she?
1167
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,520
-She's gotta vet everybody.
-Does she?
1168
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:36,520
She's an Italian mom.
1169
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,080
-You think she'll like me?
-I think so.
1170
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,520
Did you see my Bruberry…
my strawberry Brubarb?
1171
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:41,960
-You did that!
-That was me.
1172
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,880
I said, "I want it rolled up
and delivered."
1173
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,360
"I wanna hang it in my apartment."
I knew it was you.
1174
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,200
You did, right?
I was like, "It's the pun." I was like--
1175
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:50,840
Brubarb, I've never heard that.
1176
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:55,000
-[calm music playing]
-I have won the show that I love.
1177
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:59,240
And I said, years ago, I said,
"Baby, The Circle needs me,
1178
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,880
and I need to go on there, and win,
and give them a little Frank, baby."
1179
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:07,040
And I have given y'all all of me,
and you all have given me so much more.
1180
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,000
I have won The damn Circle.
[falsetto] Can you believe it?
1181
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,240
Oh my God. I cannot wait
to call my best friend
1182
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,920
and tell him what has happened.
1183
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:18,640
Tell them.
1184
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:24,960
I have won $150,000.
1185
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,120
[friends, contestants cheering]
1186
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:32,000
We did it!
1187
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,000
-I told you!
-You did it!
1188
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:35,920
[Frank] Period.
1189
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,880
Baby, I will be home soon
with my money, honey.
1190
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:41,600
It's up. It's up.
1191
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:46,680
It's up, baby. It's up! Yes, ma'am, girl.
1192
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,360
[Michelle] Circle, message,
1193
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,560
"You've proved
you don't have to catfish to get far."
1194
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,800
"You've proved that sometimes
being yourself is the best tactic,
1195
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:04,360
and, Frank, you've proved that sometimes,
nice guys do finish first."
1196
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,360
"Heart emoji." Send.
