What to know about The Circle
If you’re not familiar with “The Circle,” now is the time to go watch or rewatch former seasons. The show features a handful of contestants looking to play a game strictly over social media. They can choose to play as themselves or be a catfish. They are seen solely through their online Circle profiles and private chats.
Each week, their fellow contestants rank them and the two most popular players become “influencers.” The influencers then decide which contestant to block and send packing. Of course, there are tons of twists and turns as the game plays out.
“The Circle” takes the social aspects of shows like “Big Brother” and gives fans an interesting look at how the players decide to portray themselves to the other contestants. In the end, the finalists finally get to meet each other face-to-face and find out if they’ve been truthful or not. The winner then takes home a large cash prize.
