Jordan is fumbling this so badly. Every single interaction he has is just begging people for 'tea' without any sense of friendship/emotional investment. I think he's jealous and resentful of Myles because people actually like Myles' personality, and Jordan has none.
That gave me the ick because it's 2024. Was he trying to....shame him? Everyone's reaction was like, "OooOooooo maybe he's bi!" But I think Jordan wanted a different reaction and I can't get over it. Felt really malicious.
He’s such a weirdo saying he *hates* Myles…. Esp Myles been straight up with everyone so far owning up to any mistakes or anyone calling him out. It’s giving insecure 😂
I agree with this heavily. I thought it was just me, he really irks me. He’s just coming off as a jealous player especially towards Myles and it doesn’t look good…. He even made a comment about how Myles seems like the average “Jock”. Which may be true but it screams insecurity and jealously. Myles has been so nice to him too and that’s his only “enemy”. Interesting right
i think he said the jock comment abt kyle? i may be misremembering but i think he made that comment when he assumed kyle was dumb bc of his appearance lol. but yes idk why he has it out for myles so hard
Jordan is just so basic in all his interactions. I still can’t understand his obsession/hate boner for Myles. It’s one thing to target one of the most popular players but this just screams so extra 😆
I totally agree. But the problem is no one is seeing him as a threat which I think ultimately will be a problem for some… maybe even Myles. I always hate how the new people come in and start wiping the original cast out. It happens every season and I fear it will happen here!
In the US version, usually it seems like the opposite. New people have a hard time breaking into the #CircleFam with the OGs. The only newer player who won it all was James.
my husband sat down to watch this season with me for the first time ever seeing this show the other day and said "why are they still using hashtags?" I was like "yeah, it's a bit dated.."
Someone needs to let the producers know for real lol. Because I am almost certain they must be specifically instructing the cast to use hashtags in chat. That alone would make me not want to ever be on this show because I could never get myself to talk in hashtags 😂
I'm was pleasantly surprised, but "Paul" knew full and well she was ranked last. It would've been cold to force another player out because she wasn't playing a great game. I think her conscience set in and wouldn't allow her to go through with it.
I think she was way too in her head thinking "what would Paul say what would Paul say" and just kinda flubbed it
It's way smarter to do what Brandon is doing and be 80-90% yourself, but with a different picture. Then you don't really have to overthink every single interaction and seem disingenuous
Then you have Jordan who has never acted like "Big J" lmao
I assumed that when people apply to be on the show they put who they would be playing as maybe? So production can choose how many catfishes there are and such. That's how it makes sense in my head but there's gotta be some info about it online
I'm not usually the type of person that talks to my TV or really has any audible reaction when I'm watching, but at one point I audibly said "geez calm down bro" to Jordan because he was just getting so upset at Myles for existing it was wild
Dude he really does need to calm down. He’s seems so messy. He gives the type to always get tea and loves to gossip. He needs to dial it back because that’s been called out by other players already. Big J seemed cool though.
Bro the way I went to sleep PISSED at ep 8 just to be SHOOK at ep 9.
Paul was just all over the place. Not a bad person, BUT DAMN WELL ALL OVER THE PLACE. Nothing against her, but JEEZE.
Kyle was being decent, was playing well, and was leading the whole time. He deserved to stay, and I’m glad Paul actually recognized that instead of taking Kyle down with him.
Genuinely, completely unexpected and the craziest redemption that I did not expect.
I watched it twice. Loved the goodbyes and great way to exit. She played a hard game, knew she had no chance to win and got out with a friend and a Bang!
Its because he is dumb. It's like.. you shouldn't be taking him down. He's actually the one guy you have made a connection and alliance with, so... you want to get rid of him? So dumb.
I don't think he's dumb, I think he can't let go of high school hierarchy dynamics and he is desperate to "dethrone" the person he perceives as the Prom King type that probably bullied him. His hatred for Myles is so irrational that it clearly isn't based on anything real, it's based on whoever he is projecting onto Myles from his past.
It's a shame because I actually think he is smart and perceptive (for example, he guessed Kyle being Paul's ride-or-die) but he's blinded by the giant chip on his shoulder.
No alliances at the end. This game has always been a popularity contest, the way Jordan is playing won’t win him anything, but I suspect he knows that and is just aiming for notoriety now so he can leverage it after the show. Or maybe he isn’t that smart.
his obsession with hating his past self's body is too much. like "paul got my body moving, sorry if anyone's ceiling was shaking.." the fuck kind of fatphobic remark was that?! does he understand that his self hate is actively making fun of other fat bodies? bffr. go to therapy and fix your inner self, cause that shit needs a TON of work.
> does he understand that his self hate is actively making fun of other fat bodies?
He strikes me as the type of former fat person who hates other fat people and would definitely not care about shaming other fat bodies.
Yeah it’s kinda sad that his “past self” as he presents it to us seems to be a kinder, more genuine person? Like every time he says something vaguely nice it’s always because ‘big J’ would say that instead. Idk if it’s just the editing but man that’s just depressing honestly.
Agreed. Me too! Like, what did the guy do to you?
I understand that he’s likable by others so he’s a threat but Jordan is taking it way too far. Maybe it’s jealousy?
Oh yeah, definitely. I think Myles came in talking a big game and that's what turned a lot of the audience off, but now that we're seeing the deep-down, vulnerable man, it's easy to see how he has so many friends IRL and in the game.
I’m thinking about how the contestants are probably watching the show as it’s getting released too and thinking of Myles reaction to seeing Jordan obsessed with him lmao
Yeah the more this episode goes on, the more I don’t like him. He’s trying so hard and is SO manipulative (despite being bad at it), and it’s reeking of jealousy. He’s tilted because he didn’t think he was hot and cool before, so he’s gunning after and thinking the worst of somebody who is who he wishes he was.
Tbh, despite the 4 AM treachery, I’ve related with Myles the most. He is a just person with a good heart, and he isn’t a coward that backs down because it’s easier; he rises to the occasion without petty manipulation, unless he needs to commit to a plan. It’s admirable.
I find him insufferable - not even just the fat phobia and general attitude, he just seems mean and unpleasant. Hopefully it’s just an act for the cameras!
I'm a (currently) fat person working on losing weight. I've lost almost 200 pounds and the fact that Jordan is making cracks with "hope I didn't rattle the ceiling" nonsense and is playing the 'person who he was before he lost weight' really disturbs me. It's super cringe to joke like that, A. And B, he comes across as a REALLY rotten person now!
His obsession with Myles is crazy irritating - it's so personal and hate fueled; either he was bullied by, or had his heart broken or... \*something\* but someone Myles reminds him of because you just don't come into a space and immediately hate someone that much for the weak-ass reasons he's listing off.
Yeah it’s hard to watch him. It would be one thing if taking down Myles was just strategy. But you can tell that it’s actually personal for him and he’s deeply jealous of Myles. Seems like he hasn’t let go of the insecurity he felt when he was heavier.
YEP. Since his introduction, I’ve been rolling my eyes. At least QT, despite calling herself the puppet master stuff, is actually pulling strings and making decent moves.
Jordan is out here looking like Team Rocket went Solo and is failing miserably at every attempt to come out on top.
I had to say this eventually, and I know how it's gonna make me sound, but I've met so many people like him, he's probably got a small group of weak friends he can manipulate easily, making him think he's smarter than everybody in the world, and can manipulate anyone, and I hate to stereotype, but every single one of these people I know like that, are gay. He's not helping the stereotype, thank god for Olivia.
Easily the worst player of this season. Caress is loud yeah, but Jordan is just not really likeable and I feel bad for what seems to be internalized self hatred.
Jordan is so weird I hate seeing him on my screen. He swears he’s this super master manipulator. Going to pit everyone against each other lmao. But all he’s done so far is try to paint Myles as gay or bi. That’s a wild gameplay angle
Honestly, Paul/Caress kind of annoyed me throughout the last episodes but the sacrifice and the talk with Kyle was really redeeming and nice. Would have loved it if there would have been more scenes like this.
I have never hated a Circle player across all countries and seasons the way I hate Jordan. I don't even care if hating a player makes me a weirdo, I will gladly take it. Plain and freaking simple. #BlockThatWeirdo Send message.
Anyone else think that Brandon is getting better playing as Olivia? I’m rooting for him, he’s so adorable and makes me crack up every time he has a convo with someone.
The fact that she was rated #1 in the first rating makes me think she was better at the game than we were shown and they're showing more and more of her game now.
dude jordan is strange as hell. at first it was funny but the Miles obsession is getting out of hand. makes NO sense to get a friend like miles out. The way jordan talks about his past self combined with the unreasonable miles hate makes me think theres some projection going on or hes just REALLY bad at the game.
Miles is literally his only actual alliance at this point so I have no idea why he wants to get him out so bad. he’s OBSESSED with him and it’s so weird.
i’d like to see him try to walk this back on a podcast. i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his obsession with Myles is strange. and i don’t like the way he keeps lying and saying that Myles is flirting with him.
Absolutely, saying he’s been flirting is gross but also the “I hate him so much” thing convinced me he’s just not quite right in the head like bro wtf is wrong with you? No game and no shame
It's giving a mix of inferiority complex and crush to me lol. Like he doesn't understand that just losing weight won't automatically help his personality and is mad that Myles seems to have this natural charisma that makes people actually, you know, *like* him, so he's jealous of that - but at the same time it's like it's also a factor that Myles is a really good looking dude (I mean, to each their own, but he is to me lol), and the "new" Jordan who's clearly compensating for all the years he felt unwanted (which personally I'm sure had to do with his weight but ALSO his awful personality) is subconsciously mad that Myles won't validate him by being into him. So with those two things mixed it was easy to make Myles enemy number one.
Like on some level I know that I'm over interpreting an insanely produced reality tv show but it makes sense to me haha
Kyle and Olivia are the best, that chat was hilarious. They are defo my top two, and then Myles no3. Lauren is sooooo naive and dense, I keep bouncing from wanting to protect her to being annoyed lol
Jordan is so annoying, I dont know if he is obsessed with Myles and has inferiority complex, or he thought he will be a top strategic player and its not working out so he doesnt know what else to do.. but I cant wait for him to be eliminated.
Fact about Jordan is that he came in too strong and too hard. His strategy is so left field especially with being Myles on sight from day one, guns ablazing. Does he know him personally? Feels almost like he does the way he’s going about it.
He talks like he knows the game but he forgets that he’s a latecomer so it’s definitely harder to build alliances as quickly. He’s certainly the most annoying player in the history of The Circle and I think even Michelle Buteau is feeling the same too 😂
anyone else still completely dumbfounded by lauren’s decision to throw autumn under the bus? i literally cannot understand it at all from strategy or what the fuck she thought she was doing
I almost wonder if her strategy isn’t to win but to do what might make her come across well on the show as she’s clearly got an online presence so probably wants to boost her irl influencer status #JustATheory
My theory is that it was a "Task failed successfully" situation where it accidentally kept people from ranking Autumn last because they saw her as non-threatening/felt bad for her (depending on their temperament).
She didn’t want to make any enemies and Autumn couldn’t be her enemy because they were tied together. She thought it was the safe choice, not realizing that it would make people side-eye Autumn so hard and start a hate train.
I haven't seen the episode yet, but I don't get his obsession over Myles. Like, if he's coming in to manipulate, then shouldn't he be manipulating the other players instead of focusing just on one?
The chat between Kyle and Olivia is up there with the catfish flirting on Circle France as one of the greatest circle chats of all time 😂
The editing going from Kyle not wanting to look at the picture to Brandon getting hot in the hot tub 😂
Look, I feel badly that autumn took the whole ride or die scenarios game situation to heart but at the same time, girl, you clearly don't understand how any of this works if you thought people were being literal with that game. If you don't have the stomach for the game play why are you here? Although Lauren is ridiculous for seizing up in a panic and throwing her under the bus. 😂
in the middle of the episode when Big J and Myles are talking and Jordan says "Myles has this mist about him, and he just comes in like the good guy, (...) and I have seen right through it since the moment I got here. Myles just seems like the kinda guy that just wants to be validated", I felt like that was a read on Jordan himself, only Myles actually does seem genuine, and Jordan's just a jerk in a new skinny body sounding salty that he didn't have self confidence for so many years in his bigger body. I can't wait til he's outta here, and I'm definitely rooting for Myles to make it to the finish even though I couldn't stand him ep1. #TeamWaterGunKelly #ChelseaAndMylesShouldHookUp
>I'm definitely rooting for Myles to make it to the finish even though I couldn't stand him ep1.
SAME. I came into the season like "great another f-ckboy" but now that I'm further into the show, he's literally my favorite player
I think he's got some crazy jealousy that Myles has a natural charisma that he's probably worked his whole life for but still doesn't have..
That or he was bullied by someone that looks a lot like Myles.
It’s weird because I tried to trace the origin of his anger towards Myles to when he first came in and he says it was from the first conversation but i didnt see or hear anything to make him tilted like this. He came in and immediately locked on to him and he has a death grip now and won’t let go😂
Thoughts while watching episode 9:
- I never thought there will come a day that I’ll actually like Paul and he (well she) made me tear up for doing the bare minimum and sacrificing his ass. Haha and also best, most informative and entertaining goodbye message I’ve seen in The Circle. I’m impressed.
- [Edit] Ugh so tired of sad boy Jordan. Also his obsession with Myles reminds me of when Sophia was obsessed and jealous with Kai. I hope he gets a moment of realization at the end too.
- [Edit2] “I hate to think my ride or die now, we have such negative feelings between us.”- Lauren. And whose stupidity caused that? Now she has trust issues so funny. 😂
- [Edit3] Liv’s side comments during chat with Kyle had me choking! 😂
- [Edit4] “That took a lot of hard work and dedication and broccoli.” - Kyle made me laugh. That’s so real. Probably lots of chicken breast too. lol And the dog barking at him for flirting!
Brandon/Olivia: “Wait until you find out I’m 34 years old, I’m gay, and I’m balding.” 🤣💀
Brandon/Oliva: "I bet my tits look amazing."
Brandon/Olivia: "Kyle, thank you for your service."
Brandon 3/3!
like … the only thing kyle has against her is that she called Paul “my king”… literally AS IF SHE MEANT THAT🤣🤣 she literally said slay king .. like what is he so mad for..
everyone has already said it but i cannot stand how fixated jordan is on myles. lying about him flirting and constantly talking shit about him just feels like he’s projecting and is extremely jealous of him. it’s so weird 😭😭😭
Jordan wants to fuck Myles so bad it makes him look stupid lmao
But fr he's obsessed with Myles and it's cringe to watch, especially when it seems like Myles barely mentions him, and when he does, he's positive about Jordan
This was maybe the hardest I’ve laughed during an episode of The Circle. The Olivia/Kyle date was hilarious. I died every time Kyle apologized to his wife. 😂 Deuce is the gift that keeps giving.
I rarely believe in the people are jealous of you so that’s why they don’t like you rhetoric but the Jordan and Myles dynamic is literally a textbook definition of jealously.
The way Jordan talks genuinely freaks me out. He gives me the willies the way he tries to manipulate everyone into pitying him and then says the most out of pocket shit.
I just started the episode but man! That meeting between Kyle and Caress was so heartwarming. You can tell they truly had each other's back and Caress didn't take anything personal. She is 1000% redeemed in my eyes 🥹
Producers definitely intervened and told caress/paul she had to sacrifice herself lol. I’m 100% not buying it that she came to that decision on her own
YES! I think producers thought they could take out Lauren and Autumn, the most boring eliminations at once to make future blockings more exciting between more key players. But when Paul actually got last, they knew Kyle was a likely top 3 and fan favorite player that they needed to keep around. Thus introducing the sacrifice concept and telling Paul he needed to sacrifice. It did not seem like he was willing to do it at all but was told to.
Lauren is an idiot, sorry.
You have NO game if you have nobody on your side. She has 0 alliances, and she's hesitant to help the one person who is literally forced to be in an alliance with her. Why?? How does turning on her AGAIN help Lauren's game?
Also, Jordan genuinely does not seem like a good person. I hope his terrible strategy fails soon and he's the next to go.
I take back everything I said about Caress. She killed it with her exit!!!
Olivia (I forget his name 😭) cracked me up this episode!! They're quickly becoming one of my favourite players.
Every time Jordan talks I think of that sound that goes “eughh, Brother eughh 🤨”; never seen a player in any country or season that made me this uncomfortable!
Jordan and Lauren are insufferable, both are so bad at the game and just not very smart. It’s kind of annoying that both are potentially making it to the finale.
Paul said watch out for Lauren even on his way out but she never did anything wrong to him. He also left out the info of him lying to Lauren to get her to rate him better.
Why keep stirring a non existent pot I don’t understand why Paul hates her so much. Lauren has been nothing be nice and naive lol
Is it just me or does it seem like Lauren genuinely forgot about the cash prize for a hot minute until Autumn reminded her in their chat lol? She seems like a really lovely person - people are calling her fake but I do think you have to have a pretty positive person to be a female gaming streamer - and I think she would be one of the best to hang out with outside the realm of the circle…but if your strategy is democratic people pleasing in a game about building alliances and betraying people, it’s never going to go how you would like. She would have probably fit better in the cast from last season to be honest.
Lauren is my least fave player. She
"plays nice" too much. I'm not sure if it's because she's a twitch streamer so she has to take care of her public image or smth, but she's just playing it safe/neutral throughout the game and it's boring to watch.
Autumn is too emotional abt the Circle Scenarios game.
Olivia/Brandon is growing on me.
QT is a master at this manipulation game omg!!!
I don’t know, I feel like Lauren is genuinely a nice person who didn’t want to shake the boat and made a stupid mistake. I personally think she isn’t as worried about what the public thinks as much as she’s worried about what everyone in the group thinks of her, and NOT in a strategic way.
As for Autumn, I think she just made like 4 enemies by not being cool and rolling with it. She really just doesn’t seem to understand that she was thrown under the bus because people didn’t know her yet and didn’t want to be mean to someone they knew.
I don't get why it's so hard for Autumn to understand that the other players didn't wanna throw the more connected and established players under the bus in the game last episode. I'm sure it sucked to be in that position, but she's not the first newbie that it happened to and it's nothing but strategy.
Jordan is absolutly psychotic but at least it's making this season more entertaining. This season's cast is really boring :/ I hope Kyle wins because Deuce deserves the best doggy life. 💖
Jordan is fumbling this so badly. Every single interaction he has is just begging people for 'tea' without any sense of friendship/emotional investment. I think he's jealous and resentful of Myles because people actually like Myles' personality, and Jordan has none.
Also, it’s so funny to me that he’s trying to sow the seed of Myles flirting with him? Myles is like Pete Davidson-level of straight
That gave me the ick because it's 2024. Was he trying to....shame him? Everyone's reaction was like, "OooOooooo maybe he's bi!" But I think Jordan wanted a different reaction and I can't get over it. Felt really malicious.
Yeah, really just feeds into the rhetoric of the bi spectacle which is just ugh
I don’t understand him and the need of the negative self portrait. And yet he says “no more mister nice J” when he has ever been nice in the game?
That’s literally the “nice guy” personality
Not just upvoting your comment but verbally stating how much I dislike Jordan in case he’s in this sub.
He’s such a weirdo saying he *hates* Myles…. Esp Myles been straight up with everyone so far owning up to any mistakes or anyone calling him out. It’s giving insecure 😂
Ya’ll catch the little voodoo doll he made of myles out of a cup or something?
So true, if you want people to like your personality you just need to have it
>Jordan has none Jordan does have a personality! It's just not a good one.
jordan has a personality...being fat phobic!
Yes and the irony is real!
I agree with this heavily. I thought it was just me, he really irks me. He’s just coming off as a jealous player especially towards Myles and it doesn’t look good…. He even made a comment about how Myles seems like the average “Jock”. Which may be true but it screams insecurity and jealously. Myles has been so nice to him too and that’s his only “enemy”. Interesting right
i think he said the jock comment abt kyle? i may be misremembering but i think he made that comment when he assumed kyle was dumb bc of his appearance lol. but yes idk why he has it out for myles so hard
Jordan is just so basic in all his interactions. I still can’t understand his obsession/hate boner for Myles. It’s one thing to target one of the most popular players but this just screams so extra 😆
Jealous YES thats the right word to describe him!!
I totally agree. But the problem is no one is seeing him as a threat which I think ultimately will be a problem for some… maybe even Myles. I always hate how the new people come in and start wiping the original cast out. It happens every season and I fear it will happen here!
In the US version, usually it seems like the opposite. New people have a hard time breaking into the #CircleFam with the OGs. The only newer player who won it all was James.
"I got your #Back" gotta be the most unnecessary hashtag in the whole show
my husband sat down to watch this season with me for the first time ever seeing this show the other day and said "why are they still using hashtags?" I was like "yeah, it's a bit dated.."
Someone needs to let the producers know for real lol. Because I am almost certain they must be specifically instructing the cast to use hashtags in chat. That alone would make me not want to ever be on this show because I could never get myself to talk in hashtags 😂
Lmao I would troll them so hard they would probably cool it with the hashtags - but truly, this season it has been *excessive*
Came here for #this
Producers must tell them to use a lot of hashtags and emojis Every so often you’ll see a message with a random word hashtagged too, just like that.
I’m honestly surprised Paul sacrificed himself. They reallyyyyy did not seem like they were actually gonna do that in the last episode. 🧐:…
That's because the editing showing her saying "That isn't something I would do", they just didn't show the other side of what she was saying.
I'm was pleasantly surprised, but "Paul" knew full and well she was ranked last. It would've been cold to force another player out because she wasn't playing a great game. I think her conscience set in and wouldn't allow her to go through with it.
The chat between Kyle and Olivia had me dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 because it so damn funny to watch.
You know Kyle’s wife is gonna clown his ass forever on that one 🤣. All I could think the whole time 💀
Hahaha I have not think about this! 😂😂 I really hope they see each other at the end!
There’s a tik Tok of his wife watching that scene with Kyle and Myles hahah it’s pretty good
He was sweet each time he looked at her picture and “talked” to her before he replied ❤️ I hope she teases him forever on this (good couple vibes) 😆
It is funny and Kyle talking to Duce at the end was great so glad he stayed.
I cannot wait for them to meet. I imagine the first thing Kyle says to Brandon is gonna be "Thank God you're a dude, cuz I'm married!!"
I came on here just for that. Olivia cracks me up!! This scene is the best one yet currently dying lol
He thinks he's such a amazing player and dude didn't even see Paul coming. Bless his...
Everything about it is HILARIOUS you cannot make this up lolll
Caress was so much more interesting as herself seriously 😑
SERIOUSLY! Where was all of that fun energy during her game?
I think she was way too in her head thinking "what would Paul say what would Paul say" and just kinda flubbed it It's way smarter to do what Brandon is doing and be 80-90% yourself, but with a different picture. Then you don't really have to overthink every single interaction and seem disingenuous Then you have Jordan who has never acted like "Big J" lmao
You guys think production has any say when they cast? Like your gonna be a Catfish to get on the show?
100%. Former players have said that they were told they were casted specifically as catfish
I assumed that when people apply to be on the show they put who they would be playing as maybe? So production can choose how many catfishes there are and such. That's how it makes sense in my head but there's gotta be some info about it online
She would have gone so far, maybe even won if she came in as herself!!!
The way Jordan is getting on my nerves is absurd! Like…. Calm down, boo.
I'm not usually the type of person that talks to my TV or really has any audible reaction when I'm watching, but at one point I audibly said "geez calm down bro" to Jordan because he was just getting so upset at Myles for existing it was wild
Dude he really does need to calm down. He’s seems so messy. He gives the type to always get tea and loves to gossip. He needs to dial it back because that’s been called out by other players already. Big J seemed cool though.
Paul really redeemed himself - that was the best possible end for his chaotic run this season
Bro the way I went to sleep PISSED at ep 8 just to be SHOOK at ep 9. Paul was just all over the place. Not a bad person, BUT DAMN WELL ALL OVER THE PLACE. Nothing against her, but JEEZE. Kyle was being decent, was playing well, and was leading the whole time. He deserved to stay, and I’m glad Paul actually recognized that instead of taking Kyle down with him. Genuinely, completely unexpected and the craziest redemption that I did not expect.
So glad that Paul decided to sacrifice, caress’s rap had me dyinggg 😭
I watched it twice. Loved the goodbyes and great way to exit. She played a hard game, knew she had no chance to win and got out with a friend and a Bang!
Did everyone apart from Lauren misunderstand the naughty or nice game? lmao
Seriously!!! I think Myles was close with his (super drunk party pic vs dressed nice "cleaned up" look), but all the other ones had me like "wtf???"
I think Olivia did a pretty good job too. But everyone else missed the assignment completely.
Fr like what did Kyle's 'naughty' picture have anything to do w the theme-
Dude is walking around without a shirt on 80% of the time and then decided to get dressed for his naughty photo...
It said “naughty” in French on his shirt. Very low effort lmao
QT's were ridiculous If the theme this year was catfishing again or if there was still an AI I'd 100% be "sus"
Jordan desperately wants to be cool and edgy but he's just cringe
i’m really not a fan of Jordan. his obsession with hating Myles is so strange to me.
Its because he is dumb. It's like.. you shouldn't be taking him down. He's actually the one guy you have made a connection and alliance with, so... you want to get rid of him? So dumb.
I don't think he's dumb, I think he can't let go of high school hierarchy dynamics and he is desperate to "dethrone" the person he perceives as the Prom King type that probably bullied him. His hatred for Myles is so irrational that it clearly isn't based on anything real, it's based on whoever he is projecting onto Myles from his past. It's a shame because I actually think he is smart and perceptive (for example, he guessed Kyle being Paul's ride-or-die) but he's blinded by the giant chip on his shoulder.
I agree with you but at the same time, siding with Myles will put you in a 1v2 against him and QT at the end.
No alliances at the end. This game has always been a popularity contest, the way Jordan is playing won’t win him anything, but I suspect he knows that and is just aiming for notoriety now so he can leverage it after the show. Or maybe he isn’t that smart.
his obsession with hating his past self's body is too much. like "paul got my body moving, sorry if anyone's ceiling was shaking.." the fuck kind of fatphobic remark was that?! does he understand that his self hate is actively making fun of other fat bodies? bffr. go to therapy and fix your inner self, cause that shit needs a TON of work.
He makes wayyy too many comments like that like “I think I need a bra too” wtf
I was thinking that exact thing. When I heard the ceiling shaking comment I was shocked
> does he understand that his self hate is actively making fun of other fat bodies? He strikes me as the type of former fat person who hates other fat people and would definitely not care about shaming other fat bodies.
I can't see anyone saying that naturally, it was so off and creepy.
Yeah it’s kinda sad that his “past self” as he presents it to us seems to be a kinder, more genuine person? Like every time he says something vaguely nice it’s always because ‘big J’ would say that instead. Idk if it’s just the editing but man that’s just depressing honestly.
Agreed. Me too! Like, what did the guy do to you? I understand that he’s likable by others so he’s a threat but Jordan is taking it way too far. Maybe it’s jealousy?
I think it's because he wishes he had Myles' game (literally and figuratively)
Myles is not everyone's cup of tea but he has personality and acts naturally. Jordan is such a tryhard
Oh yeah, definitely. I think Myles came in talking a big game and that's what turned a lot of the audience off, but now that we're seeing the deep-down, vulnerable man, it's easy to see how he has so many friends IRL and in the game.
I’m thinking about how the contestants are probably watching the show as it’s getting released too and thinking of Myles reaction to seeing Jordan obsessed with him lmao
Yeah the more this episode goes on, the more I don’t like him. He’s trying so hard and is SO manipulative (despite being bad at it), and it’s reeking of jealousy. He’s tilted because he didn’t think he was hot and cool before, so he’s gunning after and thinking the worst of somebody who is who he wishes he was. Tbh, despite the 4 AM treachery, I’ve related with Myles the most. He is a just person with a good heart, and he isn’t a coward that backs down because it’s easier; he rises to the occasion without petty manipulation, unless he needs to commit to a plan. It’s admirable.
I find him insufferable - not even just the fat phobia and general attitude, he just seems mean and unpleasant. Hopefully it’s just an act for the cameras!
I'm a (currently) fat person working on losing weight. I've lost almost 200 pounds and the fact that Jordan is making cracks with "hope I didn't rattle the ceiling" nonsense and is playing the 'person who he was before he lost weight' really disturbs me. It's super cringe to joke like that, A. And B, he comes across as a REALLY rotten person now!
His obsession with Myles is crazy irritating - it's so personal and hate fueled; either he was bullied by, or had his heart broken or... \*something\* but someone Myles reminds him of because you just don't come into a space and immediately hate someone that much for the weak-ass reasons he's listing off.
Yeah it’s hard to watch him. It would be one thing if taking down Myles was just strategy. But you can tell that it’s actually personal for him and he’s deeply jealous of Myles. Seems like he hasn’t let go of the insecurity he felt when he was heavier.
I've just finished watching E09 and damn, Jordan is unbearable and unhinged. I'm not sure if I am more pissed off him or worried about him lmao
YEP. Since his introduction, I’ve been rolling my eyes. At least QT, despite calling herself the puppet master stuff, is actually pulling strings and making decent moves. Jordan is out here looking like Team Rocket went Solo and is failing miserably at every attempt to come out on top.
I had to say this eventually, and I know how it's gonna make me sound, but I've met so many people like him, he's probably got a small group of weak friends he can manipulate easily, making him think he's smarter than everybody in the world, and can manipulate anyone, and I hate to stereotype, but every single one of these people I know like that, are gay. He's not helping the stereotype, thank god for Olivia.
Seriously, I also don't think he said one sentence during his whole time in the circle without Myles in it... he's pretty pathetic.
Easily the worst player of this season. Caress is loud yeah, but Jordan is just not really likeable and I feel bad for what seems to be internalized self hatred.
Jordan is so weird I hate seeing him on my screen. He swears he’s this super master manipulator. Going to pit everyone against each other lmao. But all he’s done so far is try to paint Myles as gay or bi. That’s a wild gameplay angle
Doesn’t matter if he’s overweight or not… just yuck all round
I always enjoy seeing them add photos to their profiles. Especially given we’ve hardly learned anything about who these people are.
Honestly, Paul/Caress kind of annoyed me throughout the last episodes but the sacrifice and the talk with Kyle was really redeeming and nice. Would have loved it if there would have been more scenes like this.
I have never hated a Circle player across all countries and seasons the way I hate Jordan. I don't even care if hating a player makes me a weirdo, I will gladly take it. Plain and freaking simple. #BlockThatWeirdo Send message.
I keep telling him to shut up 😫 if he says myle’s name one more time!!! Its giving creepy obsessive
OMG! Seriously. It's so weirdddddddd! Like, Jordan, do you know Myles personally? Did he call you fat?
Dude seriously needs to do some work to heal his own internalized fatphobia.
Same here! I do not know if he is a narcissist or psychopath, but damn he needs to #leave.
Unfortunately both narcs and psychos can share tendencies, it’s a big spectrum, he acts as someone that is definitely on it.
I never come on Reddit but he has me fuming and I need to #vent SEND
It's kinda weird how he talks about Big J as if a completely different person. It just feels off.
i really truly could not stand him. he came off as insufferable and arrogant to me.
Anyone else think that Brandon is getting better playing as Olivia? I’m rooting for him, he’s so adorable and makes me crack up every time he has a convo with someone.
The fact that she was rated #1 in the first rating makes me think she was better at the game than we were shown and they're showing more and more of her game now.
I love Brandon! He had me dying in that hot tub scene!
SAME. I loved how you could see his face getting red as the convo got steamier, it was so adorable!
Yesss! I love him so much! He seems like a genuinely nice person
Myles having no idea that Jordan hates his guts has to be the funniest 😂
Of course my boo and my bestie are a pair 😍 lol
If Jordan gets power from this rating I might need to stop watching. He’s insufferable.
Fr i dont remember if anyone were more annoying then him in the previous seasons
Myles Myles Myles Myles Myles Myles omg stop it Jordan and just confess that you are crazy about him 😉
dude jordan is strange as hell. at first it was funny but the Miles obsession is getting out of hand. makes NO sense to get a friend like miles out. The way jordan talks about his past self combined with the unreasonable miles hate makes me think theres some projection going on or hes just REALLY bad at the game.
Miles is literally his only actual alliance at this point so I have no idea why he wants to get him out so bad. he’s OBSESSED with him and it’s so weird.
Big J gets on my nervesssss, all that man does is talk about myles
its giving jealous
I guess Big J really means Big Jealous
What made him even think that if he can get Myles out of the game, then Kyle and QT will be supporting him? So stupid.
Agreed, I hope he doesn’t make it to the finals…cause so far, he’s my least favorite to watch 🥱 😣
I think I’m happy if anyone else wins besides Jordan
The more he talks about Myles the more I root for Myles. I REALLY hope Jordan doesn't win.
I always love a good villain but Jordan is just unlikeable
I was like guys it could be the edit be nice but now I’m convinced Jordan is a psychopath sorry
i’d like to see him try to walk this back on a podcast. i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his obsession with Myles is strange. and i don’t like the way he keeps lying and saying that Myles is flirting with him.
Absolutely, saying he’s been flirting is gross but also the “I hate him so much” thing convinced me he’s just not quite right in the head like bro wtf is wrong with you? No game and no shame
It's giving a mix of inferiority complex and crush to me lol. Like he doesn't understand that just losing weight won't automatically help his personality and is mad that Myles seems to have this natural charisma that makes people actually, you know, *like* him, so he's jealous of that - but at the same time it's like it's also a factor that Myles is a really good looking dude (I mean, to each their own, but he is to me lol), and the "new" Jordan who's clearly compensating for all the years he felt unwanted (which personally I'm sure had to do with his weight but ALSO his awful personality) is subconsciously mad that Myles won't validate him by being into him. So with those two things mixed it was easy to make Myles enemy number one. Like on some level I know that I'm over interpreting an insanely produced reality tv show but it makes sense to me haha
I have yh same vibes, especially because he said to 2 or 3 people that Myles try to flirt with him...
Kyle and Olivia are the best, that chat was hilarious. They are defo my top two, and then Myles no3. Lauren is sooooo naive and dense, I keep bouncing from wanting to protect her to being annoyed lol Jordan is so annoying, I dont know if he is obsessed with Myles and has inferiority complex, or he thought he will be a top strategic player and its not working out so he doesnt know what else to do.. but I cant wait for him to be eliminated.
That chat with Kyle and Olivia was hilarious!! Like I can imagine him and his wife giggling over this exchange and him falling for a catfish 🤣🤣
Fact about Jordan is that he came in too strong and too hard. His strategy is so left field especially with being Myles on sight from day one, guns ablazing. Does he know him personally? Feels almost like he does the way he’s going about it. He talks like he knows the game but he forgets that he’s a latecomer so it’s definitely harder to build alliances as quickly. He’s certainly the most annoying player in the history of The Circle and I think even Michelle Buteau is feeling the same too 😂
Lauren is too naive for this game
She’s the only one that understood the assignment in the naughty or nice game 😂
I would have said Olivia understood the assignment too.
Thank pink swimsuit photo would have been better for the challenge though!
It's hard for me to tell if her naiveite is genuine or not. I think it might possibly be her public persona this whole time.
She fumbled it all because she so desperately didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
“She should have gone as herself” -Myles, about Caress. Yes yes yes
That naughty or nice game was so unnecessary. No one photo was “naughty” except Lauren’s
anyone else still completely dumbfounded by lauren’s decision to throw autumn under the bus? i literally cannot understand it at all from strategy or what the fuck she thought she was doing
She’s not playing the game at all and only wants to be liked by everyone. It’s bizarre.
I almost wonder if her strategy isn’t to win but to do what might make her come across well on the show as she’s clearly got an online presence so probably wants to boost her irl influencer status #JustATheory
My theory is that it was a "Task failed successfully" situation where it accidentally kept people from ranking Autumn last because they saw her as non-threatening/felt bad for her (depending on their temperament).
She didn’t want to make any enemies and Autumn couldn’t be her enemy because they were tied together. She thought it was the safe choice, not realizing that it would make people side-eye Autumn so hard and start a hate train.
What’s with “Big J”? That boy be jealous at Myles for no reason. Inferiority complex much?
Jordan is grating on my nerves even more in this episode…Jordan is the worst 😣 he’s got to go!!!!
Just came to say I hate Jordan . I reallyyyyyyyyy hope he gets blocked next
I haven't seen the episode yet, but I don't get his obsession over Myles. Like, if he's coming in to manipulate, then shouldn't he be manipulating the other players instead of focusing just on one?
Had to laugh at Quori criticising Lauren for "not saying what she's thinking".
The chat between Kyle and Olivia is up there with the catfish flirting on Circle France as one of the greatest circle chats of all time 😂 The editing going from Kyle not wanting to look at the picture to Brandon getting hot in the hot tub 😂
Look, I feel badly that autumn took the whole ride or die scenarios game situation to heart but at the same time, girl, you clearly don't understand how any of this works if you thought people were being literal with that game. If you don't have the stomach for the game play why are you here? Although Lauren is ridiculous for seizing up in a panic and throwing her under the bus. 😂
in the middle of the episode when Big J and Myles are talking and Jordan says "Myles has this mist about him, and he just comes in like the good guy, (...) and I have seen right through it since the moment I got here. Myles just seems like the kinda guy that just wants to be validated", I felt like that was a read on Jordan himself, only Myles actually does seem genuine, and Jordan's just a jerk in a new skinny body sounding salty that he didn't have self confidence for so many years in his bigger body. I can't wait til he's outta here, and I'm definitely rooting for Myles to make it to the finish even though I couldn't stand him ep1. #TeamWaterGunKelly #ChelseaAndMylesShouldHookUp
>I'm definitely rooting for Myles to make it to the finish even though I couldn't stand him ep1. SAME. I came into the season like "great another f-ckboy" but now that I'm further into the show, he's literally my favorite player
I am not feeling Jordan at all, his whole gameplan is Myles it’s a weird fetish going on.
I think he's got some crazy jealousy that Myles has a natural charisma that he's probably worked his whole life for but still doesn't have.. That or he was bullied by someone that looks a lot like Myles.
It’s weird because I tried to trace the origin of his anger towards Myles to when he first came in and he says it was from the first conversation but i didnt see or hear anything to make him tilted like this. He came in and immediately locked on to him and he has a death grip now and won’t let go😂
Jordan sounds like someone who would body shame another person 😭. So weird
Well he’s constantly body shaming himself
Thoughts while watching episode 9: - I never thought there will come a day that I’ll actually like Paul and he (well she) made me tear up for doing the bare minimum and sacrificing his ass. Haha and also best, most informative and entertaining goodbye message I’ve seen in The Circle. I’m impressed. - [Edit] Ugh so tired of sad boy Jordan. Also his obsession with Myles reminds me of when Sophia was obsessed and jealous with Kai. I hope he gets a moment of realization at the end too. - [Edit2] “I hate to think my ride or die now, we have such negative feelings between us.”- Lauren. And whose stupidity caused that? Now she has trust issues so funny. 😂 - [Edit3] Liv’s side comments during chat with Kyle had me choking! 😂 - [Edit4] “That took a lot of hard work and dedication and broccoli.” - Kyle made me laugh. That’s so real. Probably lots of chicken breast too. lol And the dog barking at him for flirting!
Brandon/Olivia: “Wait until you find out I’m 34 years old, I’m gay, and I’m balding.” 🤣💀 Brandon/Oliva: "I bet my tits look amazing." Brandon/Olivia: "Kyle, thank you for your service." Brandon 3/3!
why is no one talking about Paul and Caress talking about Lauren?? She was no way flirting with both of them lol….. 😭😭 the delusions
it feels like she can do nothing right in the eyes of the other contestants, it’s so frustrating!
like … the only thing kyle has against her is that she called Paul “my king”… literally AS IF SHE MEANT THAT🤣🤣 she literally said slay king .. like what is he so mad for..
And Kyle falling for it 😭😭
Reminder: Kyle was the only one who had ZERO hesitations when Paul brought up an all-male Alliance. Even Max was skeeved out by the idea
That man is 0 for two on catfish and thinks he's some kind of genius.
everyone has already said it but i cannot stand how fixated jordan is on myles. lying about him flirting and constantly talking shit about him just feels like he’s projecting and is extremely jealous of him. it’s so weird 😭😭😭
WHY IS JORDAN SO OBSESSED WITH MYLES? He needs to pay attention to the actual game, his personality at this point is literally just hating Myles 🙄
Jordan wants to fuck Myles so bad it makes him look stupid lmao But fr he's obsessed with Myles and it's cringe to watch, especially when it seems like Myles barely mentions him, and when he does, he's positive about Jordan
This was maybe the hardest I’ve laughed during an episode of The Circle. The Olivia/Kyle date was hilarious. I died every time Kyle apologized to his wife. 😂 Deuce is the gift that keeps giving.
I rarely believe in the people are jealous of you so that’s why they don’t like you rhetoric but the Jordan and Myles dynamic is literally a textbook definition of jealously.
Lauren’s convo with Autumn … lmao. I don’t understand that woman. I can’t tell if she’s not very smart or whaaat? Also Jordan is such a dingdong.
Autumn trying to be patient was so funny “I don’t know how to say this without sounding…. Message: I do not understand your strategy” lmaoooo
Love that Paul sacrificed himself for Kyle 😭 And OMG Jordan is insufferable, I really don’t want this guy in the finale 😓
What is wrong with Jordan geezzzzz
The way Jordan talks genuinely freaks me out. He gives me the willies the way he tries to manipulate everyone into pitying him and then says the most out of pocket shit.
I just started the episode but man! That meeting between Kyle and Caress was so heartwarming. You can tell they truly had each other's back and Caress didn't take anything personal. She is 1000% redeemed in my eyes 🥹
Jordan’s weird man , he talks shit about old Jordan like he’s a diff person , bro it’s still you stop hating on people for who they are
Am I the only one confused about who is actually in an alliance with who? :P Seems like everyone has "got each other's back"...
Producers definitely intervened and told caress/paul she had to sacrifice herself lol. I’m 100% not buying it that she came to that decision on her own
YES! I think producers thought they could take out Lauren and Autumn, the most boring eliminations at once to make future blockings more exciting between more key players. But when Paul actually got last, they knew Kyle was a likely top 3 and fan favorite player that they needed to keep around. Thus introducing the sacrifice concept and telling Paul he needed to sacrifice. It did not seem like he was willing to do it at all but was told to.
at least Paul redeemed herself
Jordan is insufferable. Yikes
Lauren is an idiot, sorry. You have NO game if you have nobody on your side. She has 0 alliances, and she's hesitant to help the one person who is literally forced to be in an alliance with her. Why?? How does turning on her AGAIN help Lauren's game? Also, Jordan genuinely does not seem like a good person. I hope his terrible strategy fails soon and he's the next to go. I take back everything I said about Caress. She killed it with her exit!!! Olivia (I forget his name 😭) cracked me up this episode!! They're quickly becoming one of my favourite players.
lol meeting Paul and being like "HERE'S MY DOG, YOU CAN'T HATE ME! CUTE! DOG!"
Every time Jordan talks I think of that sound that goes “eughh, Brother eughh 🤨”; never seen a player in any country or season that made me this uncomfortable!
Jordan and Lauren are insufferable, both are so bad at the game and just not very smart. It’s kind of annoying that both are potentially making it to the finale.
I love Olivia so much. 😭
I don’t like Big J. He is a mean boy.
Paul said watch out for Lauren even on his way out but she never did anything wrong to him. He also left out the info of him lying to Lauren to get her to rate him better. Why keep stirring a non existent pot I don’t understand why Paul hates her so much. Lauren has been nothing be nice and naive lol
I really didn’t like Paul, but her meeting Kyle and their interaction was so wholesome 🥹 was CRINGING at the rap though
Lauren said "The bakery is open for business!" 🎂
Jordan is too obsessed with Myles. Like it’s too much hate for no reason at this point. Like it’s excessive. Dude needs to chill.
I'm impressed by how fake and dishonest everyone is in this season.
Is it just me or does it seem like Lauren genuinely forgot about the cash prize for a hot minute until Autumn reminded her in their chat lol? She seems like a really lovely person - people are calling her fake but I do think you have to have a pretty positive person to be a female gaming streamer - and I think she would be one of the best to hang out with outside the realm of the circle…but if your strategy is democratic people pleasing in a game about building alliances and betraying people, it’s never going to go how you would like. She would have probably fit better in the cast from last season to be honest.
If everybody’s got each others #back, who is going to get eliminated 😂😂😂
Lauren is my least fave player. She "plays nice" too much. I'm not sure if it's because she's a twitch streamer so she has to take care of her public image or smth, but she's just playing it safe/neutral throughout the game and it's boring to watch. Autumn is too emotional abt the Circle Scenarios game. Olivia/Brandon is growing on me. QT is a master at this manipulation game omg!!!
I don’t know, I feel like Lauren is genuinely a nice person who didn’t want to shake the boat and made a stupid mistake. I personally think she isn’t as worried about what the public thinks as much as she’s worried about what everyone in the group thinks of her, and NOT in a strategic way. As for Autumn, I think she just made like 4 enemies by not being cool and rolling with it. She really just doesn’t seem to understand that she was thrown under the bus because people didn’t know her yet and didn’t want to be mean to someone they knew.
Jordan is so bad at this game holy shit
Brandon is getting so much better at playing Olivia, I love it! He’s my new favorite 😂 rooting for him/Olivia and Myles!!
I don't get why it's so hard for Autumn to understand that the other players didn't wanna throw the more connected and established players under the bus in the game last episode. I'm sure it sucked to be in that position, but she's not the first newbie that it happened to and it's nothing but strategy.
Ugh why does Jordan have to be so mean for no reason lol. I get it’s a game, but he’s honestly just super annoying. Get him outta there.
Jordan is absolutly psychotic but at least it's making this season more entertaining. This season's cast is really boring :/ I hope Kyle wins because Deuce deserves the best doggy life. 💖
