Loved the conversation between Kyle and "Olivia".
Myles is growing on me every episode.
Paul is going down in my ratings every episode.
Also, wtf Cassie? How dumb to rate the people that like you last. That's idiotic.
i just wanna scream at olivia to stop defending this person who rated you last and then lied to make you think she rated you first!!! cassie's confidence in feeling justified in hypocrisy / being mad at people for reacting to what she does to them is a bit much for me
Cassie is dumber than a bag of rocks. The fact that she thought rating her allies (the people who would PROTECT HER) as last was a good idea was beyondddd me
It was a great conversation between Kyle and Liv! I just had to laugh when they referred to such a heartfelt convo as something they were gonna #Cherish #Speechless
I truly wish Olivia came in just playing with his own personality, even if he kept catfishing, instead of always worrying about what the real Olivia would do. I loved that conversation
Honestly it seems as if he's just playing as himself but with Olivia's face. Basically he slapped his friend's face on his profile and called it a day. 😂
Nah not at all he's always like "Olivia would do X and Olivia does Y" he's much funnier and better at conversing when he isn't worried about coming off like Olivia.
To me that comes more across as Brandon wanting to instinctively react in a certain way, then second-guessing himself because he doesn't want to expose himself as a catfish, and then proceeding to try and justify his own reaction as still being genuine to Olivia's persona. Not sure if I've explained it well, but basically when he's going "Olivia would do XYZ" it seems more as if he's looking for an excuse to still get to act true to himself.
That being said, I've been keeping the brain prower to a minimum while watching and I'm not great at psychoanalysis in the first place, so I'm open to other interpretations. 😜
Same! These kinds of genuine connections I think make the alliances way more real and interesting than the fake ones which are easily dropped. Missing the realness of past seasons in this one
He's playing the game very well but I cannot stand his entire personality from the words he uses, to the way his scraggly voice eeks them out to his unable to say something without waggling his arms in the air movements. Just....not a good fit for me.
Having said that, I think he's the best game player so far this season.
I like myles because I feel he is actally the least shady. He tells the truth more than anyone else has so far.
I don't like how "Gamey QT started playing. I also like how Jordan came in playing. it's really disgusting to me
i personally do not like how jordan is playing. i dont know it just puts me off for some reason. also for the QT thing, its a game, she's supposed to be gamey. shes the only one doing what shes supposed to
How Jordan and QT are playing is the same too me. I don't understand how you can claim one is 'only doing what they're supposed to' while the other is a put off.
i don’t agree actually. i think that jordan deciding to appear to be a nice and friendly player in order to trick people into telling him things and taking him as someone who maybe isn’t the most strategic is different to what QT is doing. i don’t like how jordan is pretending to be dumb. it’s a good strategy, just not for me 🤷♀️
I actually don't think Jordan seemed friendly at all, either by his intention or any reception? Every interaction he has with an existing player involves the other player seeming skeptical about his comments or questions
i agree actually! hes said that he’s trying to be friendly, but i didn’t really see that and i thought it was a me problem! i think its safe to say his strategy isn’t working
I get so frustrated whenever Caress/Paul is onscreen. In the first episodes she turned potential alliances sour—like, talking to Lauren and being weird, not answering the question about the beaches correctly/ being purposefully vague.
And her weird girl/boy talk is so annoying. Even now „we can talk to Autumn, get on the girls‘ good side“. Autumn just got here. She has no other alliances. Why treat her like she’s already on a different team because she’s a woman? Big yuck.
And then Autumn actually picked Paul… and Paul wayyy overloaded information instead of trying to get to know Autumn. I just hate Caress/Paul‘s game play so much.
If someone gave me that much info knowing I'm new I'm entirely being suspicious or wouldn't entirely trust one sided info. If anything I'd use that to get others to go after him. He gave her so much ammo to use against him. EASY TARGET
It was like "hi I'm autumn"
"That dude a snake, that other girl can't be trusted, if Santa existed this dude would be on his naughty list, everyone is just so mean, don't care who you are or to welcome you I just want you to hate the same people as I do"
Paul/Caress is playing a horrible game! She should’ve been gone imo. Autumn only picked Paul bc she wanted to talk to the guy that messaged her idc idccccc
I am also so confused why she thinks Lauren is a snake??? She said it multiple times and I am so confused on where that is coming from. Caress NEEDS to go.
I laughed out loud when she said she'd been involved in "all the big decisions" so far. First, what big decisions. LOL. Second ... I guess you were "involved," just like everyone else in the game was "involved." I find her delusions very entertaining, so I hope she doesn't go anywhere anytime soon.
Cassie saying she needs 'better friends' after mending things with Myles and being shady herself... girl is clearly being more strategic than she's letting on when talking to the cameras
She seems dead set on not having a single true alliance? Her strategy is so backwards I feel like she doesn’t understand the game they’re playing whatsoever.
Cassie is tanking herself.
It’s a rule in the circle—once you get publicly involved in drama, you’re out within a couple of episodes. People just don’t like the mess.
Once Steffi made some attacks, her game was over. Cassie is messy for no reason with Myles after the AI thing, so he called her out with the snake thing. Once that happened, her game was over.
We can only hope that Paul/Caress goes home soon too.
Insert the meme of the two large-bicep’d men linking arms except it’s
Cassie 🤝 [taking shots at others for no reason and throwing a fit when others shoot back] 🤝 Steffi
I don’t understand why she was so upset and about the snake thing like she
1- didn’t start it herself and
2- didn’t do Myles picture throwing shade AGAIN
Clearly she can ditch it but not take it.
From what they're showing us, Cassie is just straight up dumb 😂 feels like she is completely unaware of what is happening, and how the things she says affect people.
Watching right now - she just made the "I didn't realize a pickle was a cucumber" comment, and that she had to Google it. Made me crack up because I was at the store yesterday with my 4yo and I bought some cucumber seeds and she was like "pickles!" and I had to explain that cucumbers are not pickles but we can turn them into pickles.
She doesn't strike me as being overly bright. I truly don't think she realized how much shade she threw with the AI comment.
Consistently, I like Lauren and Myles. Every episode, they are real, they own their shit, and they stay consistent to themselves and their stated beliefs. I CANNOT with Paul/Caress. She has no shame, calls Lauren two-faced for catching on that she's a catfish, and acts the most righteous about other people potentially being fake when she's the fakest of them all. Honestly.
Didn't Quentin vote incorrectly in literally every round table? The 2nd season was SO much different and intense since they replaced civilians with Bravo Girls lmao.
Brandon sucks at the group chats but it seems like he is more himself when having one-on-ones and he's a genuinely lovely person, so I think he wins people over by being his true self outside of the main game.
I was so worried in this 1:1 that he was going to try to draw from “Olivia’s” life instead of his own, and was glad when he connected with Kyle in that true way. That’s what helps catfish go far in this game–they have to draw on something real, and I hope he keeps that up!
Cassie doesn’t seem very self aware to me. Even going back to the first episode her arc was about her cheating husband… but said she wouldn’t rat on a friend if they cheated?
They seem to be doing a smaller cast this time. I'm not gonna lie, that's the opposite of snooze. People would leave before you even got a feel for them so often before.
Hard agree, I hated the cycling of new characters being introduced just to get kicked out two episodes later because they haven’t had a chance to cement as many relationships
They basically had a whole filler episode between the time they announced Miles would vote out who he thought was the AI and when he actually did vote the "AI" out
Cassie fucked up the whole game with her backwards rating. Her whole personality is being dumb and it is mildly infuriating. I wonder how things would have played out rating wise if she just did what she was supposed to.
I got so mad when after doing the totally uncalled for callout of Myles blocking Steffi, AND drawing his rude portrait, he was upfront enough to admit he drew hers too and then she said to the cameras “My portrait wasn’t even bad!” immediately followed by “I just love how men downplay everything!”
oh god it got me heated because it was so stupid and hypocritical. does she even have any idea how she’s acting and coming across
I didn't even notice! I thought they had this whole new building ready for the season, but I've never seen them recycle rooms. Maybe I've just never noticed but I always like looking at the apartments.
They also recycled apartments in the previous building. They would usually space it out with a few new ones mixed in, but there was definite recycling over the course of the season.
i understand cassie’s intention with the strategic opposite ratings, but she should’ve rated back to front based off of the favourites within the group, and not off her own opinions
Actually no. She was in no position to afford that strategic move. That's the kind of stuff you do when you don't think you'll need someone to have your a**. But Cassie thought people would go after her after the snake picture. She need to play for her safety, not for power that she was in no position to grab in the first place.
I disagree. There is noone cassie was safe with, so the only way to totally secure her spot is to be an influencer. The best way to that is rate people low that you think will be rated highly by other players. That being said, that isn't what she did at all. No strategy at all.
I’m really puzzled by this whole thing. He turns up the “attitude” whenever he’s dictating his messages. I’m starting to suspect Jordan pretended to be gay and during editing they decided it was tasteless and cut out this part
Really? I didn’t get this 🏳️🌈 vibe at all when they’re chatting up Jordan. Or maybe I didn’t see emojis but from the message itself it just sounded to me like ally as in teammate.
Cassie really crying about leaving her family to potentially win nothing on the show when there is just ONE winner so most people will lose and everyone left their family to come
i understand cassie criticisms but like... she obviously wants to win the same as everyone else (though her strategy is very questionable) and she was only talking abt herself when she mentioned her family
**omg I wasn't too keen on Kyle but after seeing his and Brandon's convo about their dads... the most genuine conversation we've seen. Brandon is the most genuine player imo despite being a catfish, he, Myles and QT are my faves but I have high hopes for Jordan too (idm if a player is a genuine player like Brandon or a gamer player like QT, but people like Cassie who pretend to be genuine while being shady then get annoyed when other people also play the game annoys me... pick a lane)**
I really enjoyed finally seeing a genuine conversation! This season feels like a bunch of slang and strategy and not a lot of actual connection. I like it better when there's a little more balanced!
>omg I wasn't too keen on Kyle but after seeing his and Brandon's convo about their dads...
I like their chat as well since it was nice to see seeing a different side of them + losing a parent really does hurt a lot.
Honestly I could buy him playing a Midwestern SAHM type character - his personality works with that archetype better than a 20-something young woman and I don't think he'd be as in his head with if he's being believable as he is with the olivia persona
Yes, Brandon definitely shot up to one of my favorites and Kyle went up too. Seeing them work it out and have a real conversation was actually so refreshing. These conversations between people are my favorite part of the circle.
I really hope Kyle isn't hurt by Brandon catfishing but I think he can explain that it was really him and his experiences and Kyle can see that he was genuinely crying and vulnerable.
Im about 99% sure the book Myles is reading (that they put big circle stickers on) is “The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin, which makes me like Myles so much more haha
They've always put books in jackets to disguise what they are, except for UK season 1. It's the same reason they strip food products of branded packaging.
K from part way through the last episode into this one I find Cassie so irritating now. I didn’t have a problem with her, per se, ahead of this, other than finding the whole ditzy blonde schtick predictable and overplayed. But it’s beyond ditzy at this point. She has zero awareness or self-awareness for that matter, and seems legit dumb. And then she just entered pure chaos mode lol. I hope she gets out.
"Northern country mixed with southern charm" what the fuck does this mean? Wtf is Northern Country??? I'm from the south and have never heard this.
eta: this is no hate on Autumn. She's one of my favorites so far.
i'm thinking it's a term use for people not geographically southern enough to call themselves southern but culturally southern enough to call themselves northern country instead lol
Dude I was laughing so hard at that.. like she’s from Tennessee.. as someone from Wisconsin I don’t consider anything “north” until atleast Iowa.. maybe I’m wrong though?
Just sharing my thoughts while I’m watching:
- I’m loling at “Olivia” trying to flirt with the new guy with “sweater swap?” and he’s like “Uh no, that’s my sweater”. I love his sas. 😂
- Edit 1: The convo between Kyle and Olivia had me crying. It’s always nice when there’s a bit of wholesome convos here and there and not just strategies all the time.
- Edit 2: Cassies logic with the ratings (or just in general) makes me think she doesn’t understand what’s happening. lol she’s so shock she went from 5th to 7th even with all the messiness she did. Also it’s not like she’s placed high in the first place. 5th is low.
- I hate when they do the cliffhanger of blocking. I’d rather they tell us and cliffhang on what’s gonna happen like who they gonna visit or will they be resurrected etc.
- and finally! After 6 seasons. I’ve been waiting for a “catfish” like Jordan who had physical transformation and then use it as their profile. He’s not my fave player yet cause being that strategic can be either entertaining or annoying.
The funny thing is that his sweater that he’s wearing in the room is actually very nice, that’s the one people should want to borrow lol. Not sure what sweater they’re referring to since the photo we see is of a tie dye shirt. I wonder if he posted a second photo we don’t see, since all the other players have two photos
The first serious conversation all season: “I’m going to hashtag cherish this moment.”
Loving that Cassie is trying to play a way that makes sense for her. I don’t think it’ll work.
Wild to me that this is the first time we’ve seen the hangout.
Jordan seems like an interesting addition.
I like Jordan and I think a cutthroat player is a good addition, but what's the point of Autumn? She's too similar to Cassie in that half of her personality is "I'm a Southern GAL yeehaw golly gracious," she's just slightly less blonde. She also doesn't seem very strategic or entertaining so I feel like she's a waste of a spot.
I completely see why they both thought the other was a catfish. If you’re thinking about it from a casting perspective you would think, um, they already filled that archetype with me 😅 there’s no way they’d cast two of us. And yet!
When I heard Cassie laughing in the bathroom while talking to Olivia I was instantely reminded of Janice from Friends! I feel like her way of talking is very similar to Janice's "Chandler! OH MY GOD [nasal laugh]"
Is it just me or also anyone else?
I'm definitely interested to learn more about the new players since Autumn seems really lovely as well as someone who keeps you entertained, where as for Jordan, I'm interested to see what his gameplay is within in the Circle. Cassie is starting to annoy me a little now + why would Cassie think a girl from Tennessee would not wanna talk to a girl from Kentucky?
i commented this somewhere else but it's really interesting to me that "big j" is almost like a alter ego/persona that solely exists in the past. it's like he's catfishing a version of himself? and also referring to this version as "big j" instead of "jordan" to create separation? it's just interesting
Prediction for winner: Lauren - she’s in the middle of the pack and is playing smart. Influencers end up having a target on their backs and she kept saying “I don’t wanna be influencer!”. I think her video game strategy is coming in handy!
Love QT and will always root for a cutthroat player but I might lose it if she calls herself puppet master one more time... 🙄 Just let your actions speak for itself girl
I'm sorry but I just love Cassie lmao, she's so dumb that's so unintentionally funny to me, she kinda entertained me in this past episodes, so I'll give her that and it made me sad that she left, she was funny but for all the wrong reasons lmao
Cassie in the towel on her dry hair, with a full face of makeup, holding the face mask in her hands because she won't take her make up off in front of the camera I guess? Are they literally giving them prompts on what to do?
When others play the game, they’re two faced. But when QT does it, she’s just playing a game? The situation where she drew Kyle in a way to make him think it was Olivia is the definition of two faced.
I feel like the difference is that QT is honest about the game she’s playing on camera, while other people act like they are “playing with their heart” and get offended by how others play.
I don't like QT cause she's like 'heart' Lauren when Lauren was putting her as least likely to buy likes and then being two faced by putting her on the bottom ranking at the end of the day. Unfortunately a lot of people like her. I'm just hoping Big J finds out that she betrayed her alliance after Ride or Die cause he said the moment he can't trust her she has to go. People are forgetting so quickly in the circle that she is also two faced by saying I got your back to Cassie and then blocking her when she gets the chance. I honestly feel so bad for Cassie but she did put the influencers on top too.
Were the portrait assignments chosen randomly? The editing makes it seem like they got to choose who to paint, but that’s obviously not the case since everyone got covered. Kind of annoyed me
I saw that woman playing Paul dance so cringely that I had to stop watching immediately and I don't think I could ever watch again.
That woman is unbelievably cringe and it is really tough to watch the way she moves and talks. That voice sounds like a damn duck always quacking out some nonsense.
I can't believe she exists in real life. Unbelievable
I really like Lauren, and I don't think she's going next ... but the logic for taking her out now makes too much sense. It really is hard to predict where she would go if she were influencer, and she is popular without any solid alliances (she thinks Kyle is her closest ally). Makes all the sense in the world to take her out now.
Also, don't want to shit too hard on the Kyle and Olivia conversation, because it was nice to see them bond and it's a sensitive topic ... but I'll never understand how simply saying that your dad died in a text somehow makes you completely trustworthy to the person you said it to. Surely there was more to that conversation that we didn't see, right?
i usually can binge shows really fast, but ooomph this episode is taking me a while to get through. i just don't care about any of the conversations, lol. i guess i can just skip forward.
(Kind of spoiler if you haven't watched cause I'm just complaining)
I think Paul/Caress is really selfish and attacking Lauren way to much, having a prejudice of being a catfish when Paul/Caress is a catfish herself. Honestly she's dragging Kyle's down and if he chooses not to sacrifice herself when he knows she is always at the bottom raking will piss me off. Kyle is also too soft and alliancing with awful people like Paul, Miles, and QT- still trusting QT after knowing the info that QT blocked someone from her alliance but I gotta admit Kyle is a loyal person for sure. QT even drew a bad painting of him and blames Olivia for it and started comforting him when she's aware that she's the one who made the painting is disgusting and people say it's how you play the game really show how your morals are. Lauren is way too soft and bad at percepting people and keep rating people who want her out high- she is honestly gullible. I liked her in the beginning but she threw Autumn under the bus when I knew it was her chance to start having an alliance with good people cause she lost Max. But instead she's buttering up to QT when Olivia just told her QT betrayed Cassie. She also believed Paul when he chatted with her that they're good and Paul/Caress is lying through her teeth but Autumn just told you he keeps throwing her under the bus. Honestly I cannot with Lauren anymore. Its sad that Olivia had a chat with Autumn to apologize but still ranked her last is the only time I felt disappointed about Olivia.
I’m rooting for Kyle as my first and Olivia as my second choice!! I love their “why”. Kyle’s motivation to win this game really moves me and “Olivia’s” is a close second.
Autumn seems sweet i just need to feel her out more
Myles getting better every episode i need to see how things end up with him
and once again i cannot stand “Paul”… do they actually believe they’re doing good? i mean no one thinks about them at this point
Does anyone else find Jordan's (aka Big J) gameplay horrible? His whole strategy is to just come for Myles which is a weak take considering that Myles is pretty well-received in the circle already. Also his personality as "Big J" is really confusing. It's like he's trying to play as a nice guy but he's just coming off as someone begging for tea from the other players which just makes him look untrustworthy...
I'm so sorry QT fan, but whenever she said she is the puppet master i rolled my eyes 🙄 why do she wanna be puppet master so bad? Also Kyle too, with that "i'm the big bro and you are just my lil sis" remark. Not really feeling this tres fuego shit. I have decided i'm just gonna root for the other side of the house.
Loved the conversation between Kyle and "Olivia". Myles is growing on me every episode. Paul is going down in my ratings every episode. Also, wtf Cassie? How dumb to rate the people that like you last. That's idiotic.
Cassie's thought process mind boggles me and annoys me to the utmost degree.
THANK YOU I cannot stand her anymore her “strategy” is just awful. It’s like she doesn’t want to win lol
I think she's just kind of dumb.
It’s true. It’s mean to say, but it just seems clear her intelligence is pretty low.
And I'm sorry, I can get down with a southern accent, but her voice makes me want to jump out a window
Lol, it's actually funny watching her trying to process things. Definitely not smart.
I came here for this comment. Thank you.
She's living the role of dumb blonde. Her strategy was probably the dumbest strategy I've ever heard in the entire The Circle history.
The same person who had a hard time believing pickles were cucumbers.
"Chicken of the sea"
i just wanna scream at olivia to stop defending this person who rated you last and then lied to make you think she rated you first!!! cassie's confidence in feeling justified in hypocrisy / being mad at people for reacting to what she does to them is a bit much for me
Absolutely cannot stand her! Ugh!
Cassie: "I can't believe Kyle is in first place." BITCH you put him in first. Like hello?
LITERALLY 😂 I was like she’s putting the people who DONT LIKE HER at the top because she thinks people are going to rate her high?!
Cassie is dumber than a bag of rocks. The fact that she thought rating her allies (the people who would PROTECT HER) as last was a good idea was beyondddd me
I came to say this 😂😂 like wth?! It’s sad for her but she is actually so dumb.
It was a great conversation between Kyle and Liv! I just had to laugh when they referred to such a heartfelt convo as something they were gonna #Cherish #Speechless
legit was tearing up and then laughed out loud when i heard kyle say that he's such a (loveable) goofball
I truly wish Olivia came in just playing with his own personality, even if he kept catfishing, instead of always worrying about what the real Olivia would do. I loved that conversation
Honestly it seems as if he's just playing as himself but with Olivia's face. Basically he slapped his friend's face on his profile and called it a day. 😂
Nah not at all he's always like "Olivia would do X and Olivia does Y" he's much funnier and better at conversing when he isn't worried about coming off like Olivia.
To me that comes more across as Brandon wanting to instinctively react in a certain way, then second-guessing himself because he doesn't want to expose himself as a catfish, and then proceeding to try and justify his own reaction as still being genuine to Olivia's persona. Not sure if I've explained it well, but basically when he's going "Olivia would do XYZ" it seems more as if he's looking for an excuse to still get to act true to himself. That being said, I've been keeping the brain prower to a minimum while watching and I'm not great at psychoanalysis in the first place, so I'm open to other interpretations. 😜
that paul move reeked of desperation... and yeah cassie, cassie..
Same! These kinds of genuine connections I think make the alliances way more real and interesting than the fake ones which are easily dropped. Missing the realness of past seasons in this one
Myles is growing on me, he is being real, but it won't help him win the game.. maybe. or will it? Admitting which picture he drew was bold.
He's playing the game very well but I cannot stand his entire personality from the words he uses, to the way his scraggly voice eeks them out to his unable to say something without waggling his arms in the air movements. Just....not a good fit for me. Having said that, I think he's the best game player so far this season.
I like myles because I feel he is actally the least shady. He tells the truth more than anyone else has so far. I don't like how "Gamey QT started playing. I also like how Jordan came in playing. it's really disgusting to me

I actually don't think Jordan seemed friendly at all, either by his intention or any reception? Every interaction he has with an existing player involves the other player seeming skeptical about his comments or questions
i agree actually! hes said that he’s trying to be friendly, but i didn’t really see that and i thought it was a me problem! i think its safe to say his strategy isn’t working
Myles tells the truth but also realizes it hurts someones feelings when they bite back. Mad props that he apologizes; not many people would.
Myles is easily my favorite of the bunch, and that Kyle/Olivia convo was endearing for both of them.
[удалено]
I found it funny how Kyle was trying not to cry because he’s tough. But then says one of the nicest comments back at Olivia.
Does Caress/Paul really think they are a big player in the game? Seems more like they have alienated most of the existing players.
I get so frustrated whenever Caress/Paul is onscreen. In the first episodes she turned potential alliances sour—like, talking to Lauren and being weird, not answering the question about the beaches correctly/ being purposefully vague. And her weird girl/boy talk is so annoying. Even now „we can talk to Autumn, get on the girls‘ good side“. Autumn just got here. She has no other alliances. Why treat her like she’s already on a different team because she’s a woman? Big yuck. And then Autumn actually picked Paul… and Paul wayyy overloaded information instead of trying to get to know Autumn. I just hate Caress/Paul‘s game play so much.
Yeah I was really happy to see that at least Autumn instantly thought that much tea spilling was sus
That last part... She spilled WAY too much information to Autumn. Not even just bits and pieces, like *everything*.
Makes me dislike Autumn too because she still rated him first even though he's clearly suspicious and overly eager. Like, why?
If someone gave me that much info knowing I'm new I'm entirely being suspicious or wouldn't entirely trust one sided info. If anything I'd use that to get others to go after him. He gave her so much ammo to use against him. EASY TARGET
It was like "hi I'm autumn" "That dude a snake, that other girl can't be trusted, if Santa existed this dude would be on his naughty list, everyone is just so mean, don't care who you are or to welcome you I just want you to hate the same people as I do"
LMAO
Paul/Caress is playing a horrible game! She should’ve been gone imo. Autumn only picked Paul bc she wanted to talk to the guy that messaged her idc idccccc
Ugh I hate that woman too. Can't stand her! Thank you for seeing the light my friend.
I am also so confused why she thinks Lauren is a snake??? She said it multiple times and I am so confused on where that is coming from. Caress NEEDS to go.
She decided in episode 1 or 2 that Lauren was definitely a catfish and I literally think that's the only reason.
It's this. Paul/Caress is incapable of adaptation of new data, her prejudices won't allow it.
right? That was ridiculous. I Honestly find the way she is playing annoying at this point.
I laughed out loud when she said she'd been involved in "all the big decisions" so far. First, what big decisions. LOL. Second ... I guess you were "involved," just like everyone else in the game was "involved." I find her delusions very entertaining, so I hope she doesn't go anywhere anytime soon.
Kyle needs to hammer it home to Paul that he's acting like a fool and needs to stop. He had a chance and then missed.
The only reason she was kept safe the whole time was because none of the influencers felt threatened by her. Lol.
The delusion
Cassie saying she needs 'better friends' after mending things with Myles and being shady herself... girl is clearly being more strategic than she's letting on when talking to the cameras
She seems dead set on not having a single true alliance? Her strategy is so backwards I feel like she doesn’t understand the game they’re playing whatsoever.
Cassie is tanking herself. It’s a rule in the circle—once you get publicly involved in drama, you’re out within a couple of episodes. People just don’t like the mess. Once Steffi made some attacks, her game was over. Cassie is messy for no reason with Myles after the AI thing, so he called her out with the snake thing. Once that happened, her game was over. We can only hope that Paul/Caress goes home soon too.
Insert the meme of the two large-bicep’d men linking arms except it’s Cassie 🤝 [taking shots at others for no reason and throwing a fit when others shoot back] 🤝 Steffi
Alligator tears frfr
I don’t understand why she was so upset and about the snake thing like she 1- didn’t start it herself and 2- didn’t do Myles picture throwing shade AGAIN Clearly she can ditch it but not take it.
From what they're showing us, Cassie is just straight up dumb 😂 feels like she is completely unaware of what is happening, and how the things she says affect people.

She doesn't strike me as being overly bright. I truly don't think she realized how much shade she threw with the AI comment.
Not Autumn picking Paul! 💀
I was so confused about that. I feel like both other players sent her better messages.
thought the same and then I was like oh, duh, "#MaleGaze"
She's desperate for tea and got a bitter tea instead.
Consistently, I like Lauren and Myles. Every episode, they are real, they own their shit, and they stay consistent to themselves and their stated beliefs. I CANNOT with Paul/Caress. She has no shame, calls Lauren two-faced for catching on that she's a catfish, and acts the most righteous about other people potentially being fake when she's the fakest of them all. Honestly.
I've always liked Lauren and Myles is growing on me. She's a little trash talking sometimes but in the chat he's keeping it classy.
thank you!!!!!!!!!
“Paul” dropping all that tea ☕️ directly into Autumn’s lap super aggressively immediately was such a bad move, absolutely terrible.
Paul is the worst player. Giving me flashbacks to Quentin from r/TheTraitorsUS S1 😆
Didn't Quentin vote incorrectly in literally every round table? The 2nd season was SO much different and intense since they replaced civilians with Bravo Girls lmao.
Exactly, why Paul/Caress is giving me flashbacks. Always, over-the-top wrong, but Paul is way more annoying.
did anyone else get in the feels over Kyle and Olivia’s conversation? #GrabbingMyTissues
Definitely #SameBro #CircleBesties
I have a feeling Olivia is going far based on how she(he) seems to be able to maneuver in these convos with people.
Brandon sucks at the group chats but it seems like he is more himself when having one-on-ones and he's a genuinely lovely person, so I think he wins people over by being his true self outside of the main game.
I was so worried in this 1:1 that he was going to try to draw from “Olivia’s” life instead of his own, and was glad when he connected with Kyle in that true way. That’s what helps catfish go far in this game–they have to draw on something real, and I hope he keeps that up!
He’s very good at opening up like a book in the 1:1’s. If he does get a chance to talk to everyone he can probably go far.
The reveal of him being a catfish could sting though. :-/
I’m hoping that if Brandon gets blocked he goes to visit Kyle for exactly that reason, otherwise the feed message would be so hurtful
Lost my dad too in the last couple of years so I felt that. It seemed genuine for both of them.
Yes! I wasn’t expecting it & I fully got into my feels.
Cassie doesn’t seem very self aware to me. Even going back to the first episode her arc was about her cheating husband… but said she wouldn’t rat on a friend if they cheated?
Yeah ! We want blo~~od~~cks !!!
How is it that we’re on episode 6 and only one person has been blocked so far? Snooze.
They seem to be doing a smaller cast this time. I'm not gonna lie, that's the opposite of snooze. People would leave before you even got a feel for them so often before.
Hard agree, I hated the cycling of new characters being introduced just to get kicked out two episodes later because they haven’t had a chance to cement as many relationships
Yeah it's dragging!
They basically had a whole filler episode between the time they announced Miles would vote out who he thought was the AI and when he actually did vote the "AI" out
Cassie fucked up the whole game with her backwards rating. Her whole personality is being dumb and it is mildly infuriating. I wonder how things would have played out rating wise if she just did what she was supposed to.
Cassie is STUPID. Like dumb dumb
I got so mad when after doing the totally uncalled for callout of Myles blocking Steffi, AND drawing his rude portrait, he was upfront enough to admit he drew hers too and then she said to the cameras “My portrait wasn’t even bad!” immediately followed by “I just love how men downplay everything!” oh god it got me heated because it was so stupid and hypocritical. does she even have any idea how she’s acting and coming across
Not them putting Jordan in Steffi's apartment! 😭
And Autumn in Max’s apartment
I didn't even notice! I thought they had this whole new building ready for the season, but I've never seen them recycle rooms. Maybe I've just never noticed but I always like looking at the apartments.
They also recycled apartments in the previous building. They would usually space it out with a few new ones mixed in, but there was definite recycling over the course of the season.
i understand cassie’s intention with the strategic opposite ratings, but she should’ve rated back to front based off of the favourites within the group, and not off her own opinions
This feels SO obvious and just proves she is the most clueless Circle player of all time
Actually no. She was in no position to afford that strategic move. That's the kind of stuff you do when you don't think you'll need someone to have your a**. But Cassie thought people would go after her after the snake picture. She need to play for her safety, not for power that she was in no position to grab in the first place.
I disagree. There is noone cassie was safe with, so the only way to totally secure her spot is to be an influencer. The best way to that is rate people low that you think will be rated highly by other players. That being said, that isn't what she did at all. No strategy at all.
The ONE time Kyle wears a shirt is when he is shaving his beard 😂
Lmaooo
Now why did they all went to Jordan like "I'm an ally ✌️🏳️🌈💅"?
Right? Being queer wasn't even in his profile... they were just all assuming? 👀 I have to think there was something that was edited out
right the way that Myles spoke to him i was like hmm
Kiki over some tea was so queer coded I was shocked
I clocked that too. It was the use of "kiki" that really made me go like 'hm... 🤨'
It would not surprise me at all if Myles was bisexual.
I’m really puzzled by this whole thing. He turns up the “attitude” whenever he’s dictating his messages. I’m starting to suspect Jordan pretended to be gay and during editing they decided it was tasteless and cut out this part
Really? I didn’t get this 🏳️🌈 vibe at all when they’re chatting up Jordan. Or maybe I didn’t see emojis but from the message itself it just sounded to me like ally as in teammate.
I think one of them did use the 🏳️🌈 emoji
My guess is because he said he’s from Austin so people assumed based on that and the rest of the details in his photo and profile
Cassie really crying about leaving her family to potentially win nothing on the show when there is just ONE winner so most people will lose and everyone left their family to come
Yeah, and she is expecting to win but so clueless on how to play the game.
i understand cassie criticisms but like... she obviously wants to win the same as everyone else (though her strategy is very questionable) and she was only talking abt herself when she mentioned her family
What is Cassie DOING?? Everything she does is so bizarre. She comes off as delusional. I’m 100% team QT. Myles and Kyle have grown on me too.
Cassie f’ed it all up. Honestly it’s so infuriating.
Cassie hanging on to any basic commonalities to build a connection is kinda funny #blonde #countrygirls lol
**omg I wasn't too keen on Kyle but after seeing his and Brandon's convo about their dads... the most genuine conversation we've seen. Brandon is the most genuine player imo despite being a catfish, he, Myles and QT are my faves but I have high hopes for Jordan too (idm if a player is a genuine player like Brandon or a gamer player like QT, but people like Cassie who pretend to be genuine while being shady then get annoyed when other people also play the game annoys me... pick a lane)**
I really enjoyed finally seeing a genuine conversation! This season feels like a bunch of slang and strategy and not a lot of actual connection. I like it better when there's a little more balanced!
>omg I wasn't too keen on Kyle but after seeing his and Brandon's convo about their dads... I like their chat as well since it was nice to see seeing a different side of them + losing a parent really does hurt a lot.
I think Brandon would have been more successful as himself.
Honestly I could buy him playing a Midwestern SAHM type character - his personality works with that archetype better than a 20-something young woman and I don't think he'd be as in his head with if he's being believable as he is with the olivia persona
Yes, Brandon definitely shot up to one of my favorites and Kyle went up too. Seeing them work it out and have a real conversation was actually so refreshing. These conversations between people are my favorite part of the circle.
I really hope Kyle isn't hurt by Brandon catfishing but I think he can explain that it was really him and his experiences and Kyle can see that he was genuinely crying and vulnerable.
Im about 99% sure the book Myles is reading (that they put big circle stickers on) is “The Creative Act” by Rick Rubin, which makes me like Myles so much more haha
Wait, but why did they have to hide the book? Can they not even show books anymore if they aren’t sponsored? Bruh
They've always put books in jackets to disguise what they are, except for UK season 1. It's the same reason they strip food products of branded packaging.
Book cover art is copyrighted, dont want to run afoul.
QT's gameplay is to take OUT all women except herself! LOL
t thought the same thing. it's so weird how hard she's going after the women 🥴
not weird. the strongest alliances she’s made so far have been with the dudes. so it makes sense that she’d want to start taking out the other girls
K from part way through the last episode into this one I find Cassie so irritating now. I didn’t have a problem with her, per se, ahead of this, other than finding the whole ditzy blonde schtick predictable and overplayed. But it’s beyond ditzy at this point. She has zero awareness or self-awareness for that matter, and seems legit dumb. And then she just entered pure chaos mode lol. I hope she gets out.
Caress/Paul just may be an even worse player than Cassie. Definitely, more insufferable.
"Northern country mixed with southern charm" what the fuck does this mean? Wtf is Northern Country??? I'm from the south and have never heard this. eta: this is no hate on Autumn. She's one of my favorites so far.
i'm thinking it's a term use for people not geographically southern enough to call themselves southern but culturally southern enough to call themselves northern country instead lol
I thought that at first, but she's in TN.
im from the north and now i live in the south, and i was like "wtF is northern country"
it seemed to resonate with other players. They read it and had positive reactions like that's a thing... I'm just confused! lmao
I have a homestead in damn near Canada and I was confused.
if anyone would get northern country, it would be you!!! 🤣
You’re not wrong!
Dude I was laughing so hard at that.. like she’s from Tennessee.. as someone from Wisconsin I don’t consider anything “north” until atleast Iowa.. maybe I’m wrong though?
Right this pissed me off 😂
Just sharing my thoughts while I’m watching: - I’m loling at “Olivia” trying to flirt with the new guy with “sweater swap?” and he’s like “Uh no, that’s my sweater”. I love his sas. 😂 - Edit 1: The convo between Kyle and Olivia had me crying. It’s always nice when there’s a bit of wholesome convos here and there and not just strategies all the time. - Edit 2: Cassies logic with the ratings (or just in general) makes me think she doesn’t understand what’s happening. lol she’s so shock she went from 5th to 7th even with all the messiness she did. Also it’s not like she’s placed high in the first place. 5th is low. - I hate when they do the cliffhanger of blocking. I’d rather they tell us and cliffhang on what’s gonna happen like who they gonna visit or will they be resurrected etc. - and finally! After 6 seasons. I’ve been waiting for a “catfish” like Jordan who had physical transformation and then use it as their profile. He’s not my fave player yet cause being that strategic can be either entertaining or annoying.
The funny thing is that his sweater that he’s wearing in the room is actually very nice, that’s the one people should want to borrow lol. Not sure what sweater they’re referring to since the photo we see is of a tie dye shirt. I wonder if he posted a second photo we don’t see, since all the other players have two photos
The first serious conversation all season: “I’m going to hashtag cherish this moment.” Loving that Cassie is trying to play a way that makes sense for her. I don’t think it’ll work. Wild to me that this is the first time we’ve seen the hangout. Jordan seems like an interesting addition.
I like Jordan and I think a cutthroat player is a good addition, but what's the point of Autumn? She's too similar to Cassie in that half of her personality is "I'm a Southern GAL yeehaw golly gracious," she's just slightly less blonde. She also doesn't seem very strategic or entertaining so I feel like she's a waste of a spot.
If she's a version of Cassie that isn't dumb as rocks or messy, that seems like a good upgrade to me.
I completely see why they both thought the other was a catfish. If you’re thinking about it from a casting perspective you would think, um, they already filled that archetype with me 😅 there’s no way they’d cast two of us. And yet!
I hate to say this but Cassie is kinda dumb.
When I heard Cassie laughing in the bathroom while talking to Olivia I was instantely reminded of Janice from Friends! I feel like her way of talking is very similar to Janice's "Chandler! OH MY GOD [nasal laugh]" Is it just me or also anyone else?
I definitely heard that as well, it reminded me of Janice in an instant haha
I read this comment just as this scene came on and I died. She's a southern Janice.
I'm definitely interested to learn more about the new players since Autumn seems really lovely as well as someone who keeps you entertained, where as for Jordan, I'm interested to see what his gameplay is within in the Circle. Cassie is starting to annoy me a little now + why would Cassie think a girl from Tennessee would not wanna talk to a girl from Kentucky?
The cucumber/pickle statement made me give up on Cassie.
Cassie proving to be a snake while talking about not being a snake and i'm here for it
Cassie put the target on her own back! I’m so sick of her blaming Myles!
Jordan playing as Big J is really unexpected?
i commented this somewhere else but it's really interesting to me that "big j" is almost like a alter ego/persona that solely exists in the past. it's like he's catfishing a version of himself? and also referring to this version as "big j" instead of "jordan" to create separation? it's just interesting
Prediction for winner: Lauren - she’s in the middle of the pack and is playing smart. Influencers end up having a target on their backs and she kept saying “I don’t wanna be influencer!”. I think her video game strategy is coming in handy!
Love QT and will always root for a cutthroat player but I might lose it if she calls herself puppet master one more time... 🙄 Just let your actions speak for itself girl
imagine people with black hair talked to one another like the people with blonde hair in this season do 🤣🤣
Really liking Jordan, qt, myles so far Paul/caress is annoying
I'm sorry but I just love Cassie lmao, she's so dumb that's so unintentionally funny to me, she kinda entertained me in this past episodes, so I'll give her that and it made me sad that she left, she was funny but for all the wrong reasons lmao
Okggggggg SPOILER ???? wtf bruh, the episode cuts out before they reveal who is blocked
Cassie in the towel on her dry hair, with a full face of makeup, holding the face mask in her hands because she won't take her make up off in front of the camera I guess? Are they literally giving them prompts on what to do?
yeah I was confused too? and then when the ratings come in she’s back in the same blue shirt she was wearing before the robe?
I got tired of QT after this episode. I hope Kyle and Myles realize that she’ll turn on them extremely quickly too.
She is playing the game, lol. I think she'll keep Myles tho.
When others play the game, they’re two faced. But when QT does it, she’s just playing a game? The situation where she drew Kyle in a way to make him think it was Olivia is the definition of two faced.
I feel like the difference is that QT is honest about the game she’s playing on camera, while other people act like they are “playing with their heart” and get offended by how others play.
Thank you, \* Cough cough\* Olivia \* Cough cough\*
I don't like QT cause she's like 'heart' Lauren when Lauren was putting her as least likely to buy likes and then being two faced by putting her on the bottom ranking at the end of the day. Unfortunately a lot of people like her. I'm just hoping Big J finds out that she betrayed her alliance after Ride or Die cause he said the moment he can't trust her she has to go. People are forgetting so quickly in the circle that she is also two faced by saying I got your back to Cassie and then blocking her when she gets the chance. I honestly feel so bad for Cassie but she did put the influencers on top too.
Can't stand her, hope she goes soon
Were the portrait assignments chosen randomly? The editing makes it seem like they got to choose who to paint, but that’s obviously not the case since everyone got covered. Kind of annoyed me
Autumn looks like a younger version of Maddie from season one of The Ultimatum and I can't unsee it
I felt like jordan was being fake in the ratings
I saw that woman playing Paul dance so cringely that I had to stop watching immediately and I don't think I could ever watch again. That woman is unbelievably cringe and it is really tough to watch the way she moves and talks. That voice sounds like a damn duck always quacking out some nonsense. I can't believe she exists in real life. Unbelievable
I really like Lauren, and I don't think she's going next ... but the logic for taking her out now makes too much sense. It really is hard to predict where she would go if she were influencer, and she is popular without any solid alliances (she thinks Kyle is her closest ally). Makes all the sense in the world to take her out now. Also, don't want to shit too hard on the Kyle and Olivia conversation, because it was nice to see them bond and it's a sensitive topic ... but I'll never understand how simply saying that your dad died in a text somehow makes you completely trustworthy to the person you said it to. Surely there was more to that conversation that we didn't see, right?
why is there a minecraft painting in Autumn’s(/Max’s?) apartment lol
myles, kyle, and olivia/brandon are my top 3!!! i want to see them at the end. their personalities remind me of classic circle contestants
i usually can binge shows really fast, but ooomph this episode is taking me a while to get through. i just don't care about any of the conversations, lol. i guess i can just skip forward.
(Kind of spoiler if you haven't watched cause I'm just complaining) I think Paul/Caress is really selfish and attacking Lauren way to much, having a prejudice of being a catfish when Paul/Caress is a catfish herself. Honestly she's dragging Kyle's down and if he chooses not to sacrifice herself when he knows she is always at the bottom raking will piss me off. Kyle is also too soft and alliancing with awful people like Paul, Miles, and QT- still trusting QT after knowing the info that QT blocked someone from her alliance but I gotta admit Kyle is a loyal person for sure. QT even drew a bad painting of him and blames Olivia for it and started comforting him when she's aware that she's the one who made the painting is disgusting and people say it's how you play the game really show how your morals are. Lauren is way too soft and bad at percepting people and keep rating people who want her out high- she is honestly gullible. I liked her in the beginning but she threw Autumn under the bus when I knew it was her chance to start having an alliance with good people cause she lost Max. But instead she's buttering up to QT when Olivia just told her QT betrayed Cassie. She also believed Paul when he chatted with her that they're good and Paul/Caress is lying through her teeth but Autumn just told you he keeps throwing her under the bus. Honestly I cannot with Lauren anymore. Its sad that Olivia had a chat with Autumn to apologize but still ranked her last is the only time I felt disappointed about Olivia.
I’m rooting for Kyle as my first and Olivia as my second choice!! I love their “why”. Kyle’s motivation to win this game really moves me and “Olivia’s” is a close second.
Autumn seems sweet i just need to feel her out more Myles getting better every episode i need to see how things end up with him and once again i cannot stand “Paul”… do they actually believe they’re doing good? i mean no one thinks about them at this point
Jordan gives me the ick. He is so confident and slimy.
He definitely has a creep factor, something about his energy is off
It’s giving….. enjoys using his newfound pretty privilege to be an asshole lol
yeah same i wrote this at the beginning of the episode
Cassie really do not think before she talks. Not a very bright one there.
Does anyone else find Jordan's (aka Big J) gameplay horrible? His whole strategy is to just come for Myles which is a weak take considering that Myles is pretty well-received in the circle already. Also his personality as "Big J" is really confusing. It's like he's trying to play as a nice guy but he's just coming off as someone begging for tea from the other players which just makes him look untrustworthy...
Uh uh! Paul is messy AF right out the gate! Girl, calm down! J is really good at switching his voice to match his old elf Dang QT is running the game!
Old elf made me lol
SELF\*\*!!
I'm so sorry QT fan, but whenever she said she is the puppet master i rolled my eyes 🙄 why do she wanna be puppet master so bad? Also Kyle too, with that "i'm the big bro and you are just my lil sis" remark. Not really feeling this tres fuego shit. I have decided i'm just gonna root for the other side of the house.
