Turned on TV this morning to watch something mindless while I drank my coffee. Realized a new season of the Circle released today. Lost the next 2 hours LOL.
Anyway. I watched through the beginning of episode 3. Won't drop any spoilers yet, but really liked it so far.
If anyone has watched and is ready to talk about it, let me know!

jinkies, I’m watching the first episode now. First thoughts—I hate when guys catfish as girls and I hate nick, but if I were in the circle I would probably be into him based on his picture and his profile, so I think he’s got a good strategy in not being himself.

On episode 2 and I love this twist but I don’t think they can pull it off.

I’m skeptical that Orange Michelle could have actually gone to visit anyone but she chose Blue Michelle. Wouldn’t her visiting someone else have blown Blue Michelle’s cover?

I assumed that Blue Michelle was the only choice, even though it wasn't portrayed that way. What did you think about them lying about not getting the visit? It seems like everyone knows it was a lie. I wonder what would have happened if they said that Orange Michelle visited and it was a catfish named Bob or something trying to get in the game by stealing her identity? And thanked everyone again for recognizing the true Michelle? Idk. Or maybe it's a not a big deal, people lie all the time.

jinkies, I thought that would have been the better option as well.

I am as caught up as I can be! UGH Netflix, drop all of the episodes at once, will ya?! I count on you for that! I'm VERY GLAD the last player was voted out. I like that one of the Influencers had to do it face to face, too!

Yeah, I think that would have been smart because everyone was questioning if the decision was the right one. They could have also said that Orange Michelle was the blocked players who got to come back. Like their real story but said it was Orange Michelle.

I’m only on E1 so I skipped to the end to not see spoilers. Some of these people annoy me already!!

Ava’s sister talking about kissing the dogs is giving me life. I’m laughing so hard.

Nick is a lot more dopey than I had realized in the first set of episodes, he makes me laugh.
I dig the Kaivin connection (heart emjoi heart emoji heart emoji)!!
Daniel continues to shriek and scream, I don't think he even HAAAAAS an inside voice.

Nick's voice sounds so much like Phil Dunphy that I find it distracting.
I like Jacki.

I don’t like James. He was an influencer twice and both times sent home people on his team. I hope they give him hell next week.

Jacki was the obvious "easy" choice, but James needed her for numbers. I wonder how it would have played out if he had led Nick to believe that he *was* Jacki during the anonymous blocking. That would probably have been the only chance to save her. It's funny because I thought James' instincts were so good throughout the show-- he was quick to identify catfish and seemed to know so quickly that he was talking to Nick even when anonymous. He just really sucked at being influencer.

Apparently that last influencer chat was 6 hours long.

Ooo where did you hear that? I’m stuck on James voting off 2 people in his alliance back to back. I need to know more because Nick seems cute but not bright and now I’m thinking that’s all an act. How could he get James to agree on those eliminations?

I was really impressed with Nick convincing James to lose someone in his alliance 2 weeks in a row. A 6 hour deliberation is intense!

the finale was so so fun to watch!!! No spoilers but I definitely teared up - more during the reveals of the players than anything!

I actually thought the second place person was going to be the winner so I was surprised! I freaking love this show. It's funny people's perception- Sophia "I definitely don't want to go in as a goofy lesbian". Matthew "I definitely want to go in as a goofy lesbian" hahaha
It's a shame that Jacki came in so late because I would have loved to watch her for 2 weeks.

spicysalmonroll, I also thought second place was going to be first! I really enjoyed the finale and honestly could have made an argument for almost any of them winning. I wish that they would release the actual ratings after each episode. I'd be curious to know how close some of the votes were, and how everyone rated each other over time. And I agree, I wish they had switched the joining order for Jacki and Jackson. Jacki would have been a lot more fun to watch!

Count me among you spicysalmonroll and jinkies - I was really expecting #2 to be the winner and I would have been quite happy with that outcome, too. There doesn't seem to be animosity between any of them, so unlike a reality show! haha I am more convinced that Nick IS Phil Dunphy and I hope Kai and Kalvin go on to date; the sparks between them are so obvious. Did y'all see Ruksana's face when she saw Rachel (Jackson) and later, Matthew (Ashley)?! PRICELESS lolol

I feel like they don't release the full ratings because the show manipulates the influencers for better drama. Like having one person from each alliance as influencer for three weeks in a row - and having that blind elimination so conveniently timed? Maybe I'm just being cynical. Regardless, I love the show! I was happy and surprised to see the winner and think any of them were deserving of it. I've watched a few tiktok videos of them hanging out and they seem to genuinely like each other which is a nice change from most reality TV.
