April 9, 20214 yr I’d heard the Manrika leak but I’m glad Natalya has won and it’s a surprise. It feels like a genuine win, not like Paddy last year which was an anti climax.
April 9, 20214 yr Was shocked Hashu was 4th But Natalya was my 2nd fave and she played a blinder!! Still my fave reality tv show
April 9, 20214 yr If Manrika voted more tactically she probably would have won . It’s a bit weird she didn’t vote more tactically as that’s what’s she’s been doing majority of the ratings she shot herself in the foot . Edited April 9, 20214 yr by troylovesmusic
April 9, 20214 yr So after everything that has happened in The Circle over the past few weeks in the end Manrika was pipped to the prize by the catfish she was developing feelings for who turned out to be someone else completely different and just to add further salt to the wound Manrika gave Felix the deciding vote. Twitter is going to be jizzing itself at this! It's a shame Syed didn't win but at least he provided good entertainment and comedy during the series. I really enjoyed this series and will miss this programme, I already can't wait for series 4 to eventually start.
April 9, 20214 yr YES NATALYA!!! 😭😭 Legit could not have gone any better with the final 2 - I was so sure that she was going to be 4th so when Hashu/Syed and Andy were revealed as 4th and 3rd respectively I was so shocked as I was sure either of the two were going to win. After that I was certain on Manrika but I am so happy for Natalya, such a warm person who has played a blinder throughout, definitely makes up for the shitshow that was last year’s result. I wish Scott/Dot made it instead of Tom/Pippa/Joey but I still would have been rooting for Natalya anyway. Myself and my mum are also in firm belief that the whole comforting between her and Manrika suggests that she’ll provide as much money to her as she needs to support her mum. You can just tell that she cares and wants to support the girl who brought her to the win.
April 10, 20214 yr Sad that Manrika didn't win. It would.have made up for the fact that Felix wasn't real.
April 10, 20214 yr If Manrika voted more tactically she probably would have won . It’s a bit weird she didn’t vote more tactically as that’s what’s she’s been doing majority of the ratings she shot herself in the foot . I’m not sure. I think she’d have had to have rated Tom first for that to happen as I think Andy or Syed would have tied with her as well.
April 10, 20214 yr I’m not sure. I think she’d have had to have rated Tom first for that to happen as I think Andy or Syed would have tied with her as well. Didn’t they say though that if Manrika had not rated Felix 1st she would have won ? Edited April 10, 20214 yr by troylovesmusic
April 10, 20214 yr Didn’t they say though that if Manrika had not rated Felix 1st she would have won ? She said that herself but she hardly strikes me as the best mathematician.
April 10, 20214 yr What a terrible season. Thank god this is done. Bottom of the list joint with Circle France you go. I don't know how C4 expects to gain any new fandom with new twists every week. It would be impossible for someone net new to this season to understand what the true format is. Too much interference (ie. Games) from production, Gemma/James - C4 knew exactly what they were doing to us, and they did it anyways. C4 should cancel the series, have Netflix UK pick it up and go from there. Having a cliffhanger every episode was unnecessary, especially since the majority of the time the result of the build up was very lackluster.
April 10, 20214 yr I’m sure the US version also had cliffhangers every single episode as well? It’s become an integral part of the format :lol: It’ll be hard to beat Series 2 for me but perhaps more because it was my first experience of the show (I think? I can’t remember if I watched the first series straight beforehand or straight after!). I adored Tim and Georgina though. I did really enjoy this series overall though, some fantastic characters in there and lots of catfish which is what I perhaps cruelly enjoy. Despite all the talk at the beginning too of catfish catching, I’m glad they dropped that and focused on the actual connections because that should be what the show is about. There’s no point getting rid of someone purely for being a catfish when they would mark you first! As we’ve seen, being a real person doesn’t prevent them from lying as part of the game. Hashu/Syed was such a breath of fresh air, I adored Natalya and it was so refreshing to see a true and open gameplayer like Manrika on British TV. It was very commendable for Scott to be the first one in the franchise (that I’ve seen) to pull of the elderly catfish after what appeared to be many failed attempts! Also, good to see a geeky reality TV stan have a chance of playing with Vithun :lol: The clones twist was absolutely GENIUS and hilarious. I find it interesting that both Yolanda and Pippa/Joey did better as their forced catfishes :lol:
April 11, 20214 yr Absolutely loved this series brilliant throughout!! Don’t understand why it is on at 10pm though?? I was really rooting for Syed to win though, he was my absolute favourite contestant throughout! However I loved Natayla/Felix too so fair dues. Does anyone know who the actual guy in the profile is? He was soooooo HOT!
April 11, 20214 yr I don't understand the love that Manrika is getting. The whole point of this is to either successfully catfish, or to be yourself if you want to. An 'NHS Nurse' trying to raise funds for the NHS is an option that's included in that. Being disgusting behind someone's back (despite insisting that you're a nice person), acting nice to their face, and trying to turn people against someone like some sort of witch hunt, is horrible. Whether you're playing the game or not, personally attacking someone who may (or may not) be real, isn't cool. Reading through the comments I’m glad someone finally said this. I didn’t dislike Manrika and think she played an excellent game but she was definitely very catty and fake throughout the game. She reminded me of Georgina on Love Island “I’m loyal Georgina is loyal” then getting off with one of the other girl”s fella. While James gets such intense hate for being a catfish of an NHS nurse... I mean he was going to donate the money to the NHS so it makes sense. I personally thought both were great contestants and made the show brilliant.
May 5, 20214 yr Just binged the whole series in like 3 days and I'm so shocked Felix has won! Incredible gameplay and luck played a huge part since it was so close in the end. Natalya was SO on point with almost every single decision and move and she was my favourite overall so this is amazing. I loved this series despite Gemma's character trying to assassinate the entire show's credibility. Who thought this would be a good idea?!
May 5, 20214 yr Good to see that Manrika and Hashu stayed in contact, I had the feeling that they would.
May 7, 20214 yr Channel 4 have axed this but talks are on with Netflix to handle the UK version which tbh I think is a good move.
May 7, 20214 yr Don’t really understand the decision given it grew with every series, and Series 3 was the highest yet with solid overnight and 7 day ratings. Nothing spectacular I appreciate but certainly solid enough, particularly amongst the younger audience. Surprised they’ve not even put it on E4 given the channel seemed to be desperate a couple of years ago to find their Love Island equivalent hit. At least we have the US version (and now I’m glad I’ve decided to delay my watching of that!).
May 7, 20214 yr Channel 4 have axed this but talks are on with Netflix to handle the UK version which tbh I think is a good move. I’m shocked as to why they would axe this it genuinely grew and got more popular each series ?! Really hope Netflix pick it up . If they can have the US version which only started because of the UK version and is actually filmed in the UK then surely the UK version will be brought to Netflix. Edited May 7, 20214 yr by troylovesmusic
May 7, 20214 yr That's surprising, I don't imagine it's that expensive to produce as all the versions use the same building so surely that helps spread the cost? I'm really disappointed after what a good outcome series 3 had :( Hopeful that Netflix will take it on, but I'd rather it stick with Channel 4. Any future UK series will likely have less episodes if it's Netflix produced..?
