Yeah I was team Terilisha too so sad to see her go, but interesting how the first two influencers were then the next two out and the first six influencers were all different players, nice to see a power shift.

 

I love the games and thought the mannequin challenge was great, it's part of the fun. If you're going to go in and catfish as someone much older or younger than yourself, or as someone of the opposite sex, you need to be prepared! We've seen a few successful catfishes of that sort in the UK version now and they've gone in with massive binders of research, so sorry Emily but you messed up.

Yeah, it seems really unfair and I have a feeling Courtney will be in until the final. They f***ed up doing that twist on two of the most boring contestants as well when Savannah and Terilisha were RIGHT THERE! Imagine them having to team up, it could've been iconic.

I totally get that he was lacking in research, so definitely could have saved a little face if he'd been able to answer the make up question in the "Don't @ Me" game.

 

But a book full of research isn't going to help him actually be able to apply make up, so he was never getting out of that unscathed.

 

Even to the point of having JVN judge that challenge. He exposed Lance because of the way the wig was cut.

 

It just feels like too much of what happens is not in the player's control. They could be playing the best game of everyone, but one challenge where the odds are so obviously stacked against them is all it takes to put them out.

Oh my god!! I'd have lived for that. I've got zero interest in Emily and Lance teaming up though. You're right, they've got this all backward. Terilisha had the most obvious potential to be dynamite TV, so going out of their way to make sure she got blocked was such a weird move.

Binging 4 episodes at a time ;)

 

 

Soooooo annoying :lol:

I like the challenges and the twists and turns... the make up one was excellent! At the end of the day if you choose to go in as a Catfish then make sure you can play the catfish to the max don't choose someone who you can't do. I do get how it can be a bit annoying though, I can't stand Courtney so him getting all that power was irritating, but then if Terrilisha had lost it would have been someone else getting that power so that's the way it goes.

 

It's interesting how quickly it flips, I loved both Savannah and Terilisha from the get go, thought they were both smart confident women, but then went off the pair of them as they both acted like immature unintelligent women when BOTH of them got their backs up over the fact that the other wasn't supporting their choice. Then both attacked each other blaming the other... their own fault, glad both went.

 

The woman playing Trevor is my favourite so far, she is good fun, playing a good game and I genuinely like her. I like both new additions Mitchell and Khat (Mitchell sussing out Courtney is excellent). River catfish is a bit boring, Courtney is annoying and comes across as having a mean streak - makes sense being a celeb blogger, Chloe comes across as a nice person but she is a bit superficial (boy mad and not very intelligent). Lance's assistant was boring and I liked the guy playing Emily (Jack?) but I'm not fussed about him going.

 

I do agree as someone stated above it's a shame Terilisha and Savannah were not put into an apartment together, would have been much more fun than Lance/Emily.

Not a fan of any characters so far tbh.

 

Savannah was the worst person and Terilisha (apart from the ridiculous name) was better, but she wasn't very likeable with other contestant so could see her being the obvious third elimination.

 

Agree with the general idea that Chloe is thick and monodimensional and that Courtney isn't half as smart as he thinks he is (so glad to see him close to elimination).

 

Emily/Jack played a very stupid game and Lance/his PA didn't prove much smarter either (also this double elimination paired with a new character joining is starting to be obvious, even if the new entries ended up being two like in the UK version).

 

I don't particularly care for River nor Trevor.

 

Kath and Mitchell are ok - both quite fun, she seems switched on and he's hot.

Maybe I am not invested on this as some of you but I actually love Courtney and thought he did an amazing job influencing others to get rid of both Terilisha and now Emily (even though technically he's not going anywhere).

 

 

 

Terilisha was the only one I've rooted for so far, I loved her "k well let's just f*** shit up" attitude but how very un-circle-esq.

Mitchell I could be convinced on if he doesn't end up being a total douche.

Yeah, I'm a fan of Courtney too! Him, River and most of all Trevor are my favourites at the moment.

 

Chloe is, as mentioned here, mono-dimensional. Khat has potential but needs to do a bit more for me to root for her and Mitchell has no personality outside of getting his kit off for no reason at every given opportunity.

 

It's got nothing on the UK version for me though, I feel like the core game playing is at a minimum and too much is focused on "getting the catfish out" regardless of the bond made.

I really don’t like Courtney at all personally I find him quite unlikeable.

Double post.

I've warmed to Courtney as it's progressed but I struggled with him at the start as he was team Savannah and I was team Terilisha.

 

Would be happy with either Chloe or Trevor winning as Chloe has been my fave throughout and Trevor has been a good catfish (they've basically been a less iconic Manrika/Felix), but this is probably my least favourite civilian series of The Circle so far when thinking of both US seasons and the three in the UK. I've still enjoyed watching it but having watched the three UK series since watching the first US season, this now feels a little too short, could do with a few more episodes to get to know them more and let the relationships play out and develop. But even comparing it to the first US season, I haven't taken to this bunch as much as I loved Joey, Sammie, Shubham and Rebecca.

Me neither I find him very unlikeable.

So frustrating to see the Plan not working out and #TwoHeadedSnakes both in the final. Khat's downfall was going WAY too strong for Chloe when she just needed to fly under the radar and be chill. She was one of my favourites.

 

Courtney doing a complete 180 from a fun likeable character to absolutely UNBEARABLE since he got that influencer spot.

 

I REALLY hope for a Chloe or Trevor win now. Chloe was super fun to watch, she's just so charismatic and entertaining, and Trevor's game was strong and precise. As a newcomer John has virtually 0 chance to win so we'll see which alliance is stronger.

Yeah I really liked both Khat and Mitchell it’s a shame they never made the final . I don’t like how much power Courtney and River have had throughout tbh . I’m fine with either Trevor or Chloe winning .

I was gutted to see their plan didn’t work literally shouted out NO!! When they announced River as influencer. I’m finding the whole Courtney and River dominating the game quite tedious... but you can’t deny they played a good game. Really hope neither of them win although I can see river winning as I think they will support each other and then the others will rate river high (John and Chloe and poss Trevor)

I was thinking about the #makeupgate and there was definitely a way for Emily to save herself by going completely crazy artistic and OTT. Her fault entirely.

I thought about that but wasn't the challenge to make it look like themselves? I'm sure production wouldn't have allowed that to happen. And then even if it did, it'd probably still have made everyone a bit suspicious.

 

It was just an unfair task, designed specifically to get Emily out as a solo player.

 

I'm not at all thrilled with Courtney slithering his way to the final. He's so unpleasant. I'd really grown to like Khat and Mitchell so I'd have liked them to have made it. Khat did play her cards too early with Chloe though.

Yeah because Mitchell's glittery face and rainbow hair definitely looked like him. :lol:

 

The challenge was to stay true to themselves but make it completely OTT or like JVN said, "more is more".

Oh yeah :lol: I wasn't remembering the challenge properly. Yeah, he just messed it up for himself then.
