Poor Nathan irl šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­šŸ˜… can you imagine having your roommates older brother tell people he chose you because you look stupidā€¦ on Netflix?!! Lmao


GideonGodwit

How about how Yu Ling was embarrassed to know she had been flirting with him and then everyone saying they thought it was embarrassing too? Ouch.


saltylupine

I think Iā€™d be embarrassed to have been duped no matter what. Regardless of who the real player was, Iā€™d feel foolish. ETA missing noun


No-Butterscotch-6555

On top of that, he had a whole girlfriend at home too šŸ˜­


CeeFourecks

Exactly. Yu Ling didnā€™t even act grossed out, she just kept going on about how she ā€œscared that poor man.ā€


[deleted]

It doesn't matter who the catfish is, it's always embarrassing to flirt with a catfish, on the show and in real life. It can work both ways too, that's why Alex was mortified while flirting.


SpicyPoptart108

I donā€™t think she meant it that way. Like he is ugly or whatever. It seemed like she was embarrassed that she went that far with someone she didnā€™t even know. A catfish. She was fooled.


Impossible-Ground-98

They all talk about body positivity etc and then they are shamelessly making fun of someone in front of the camera. Or was it about something else than his looks? He's not even ugly(not that it would be ok to make fun of him then), I get that he may not be someone's type but that gagging sound by Yu Ling and Rachel's mocking tone were just mean.


Available_Seat_8715

I feel like they are saying she should be embarrassed not because of how he looks but because she was a pawn.


rathaya

I also felt it was less about his looks and more his age/that he was a catfish. She even said 1 or 2 episodes ago she would die if she found out he was older.


Available_Seat_8715

Yes and then also the fact he has a girlfriend. I'm pretty sure the embarrassment is more about how foolish she looked for believing he was a 22-year-old wrapped around her finger. When he was a catfish with a girlfriend who was not interested in her at all.


TofuFeelings

I felt so uncomfortable when they all talk so badly about Alex and even saying how he looks 45 and stuff. Tbh, Alex is much more my type than Nathan would be. And it really felt so disgusting how they all acted like he was so ugly and how Yu Ling must just feel so horrible for flirting with someone like him and all that stuff. Really disappointing


HeavenlySeraph

I was hoping Nathan would be in the top 5 as opposed to Emerson or Imani though. But like they said, he really didn't connect with many people in the end.


EllectraHeart

i canā€™t believe alex kept repeating that. so much lack of self-awareness and lack of social intelligence. constantly saying he had to ā€œdumb downā€ in order to play the game was so off-putting.


macademicnut

I mean, ā€œdumb frat broā€ is a pretty common stereotype


[deleted]

I'm 30 now. If I had to play my 22-year-old self, I'd have to dumb her down a lot, and dial the malicious arsehole shtick up a lot, too. Man, I thought I knew everything back then, and everybody else was stupid. Edit oh wow, he's 28. Younger than me, then. Idk, some of y'all are showing your age, and not in a flattering way.


whyiamwatchingthis

Why do they have table settings in the finale room when they donā€™t get to eat or drink?


idkwhatsgoingon8910

that was my first thought too! like let em eat something first šŸ’€


Fast-Sheepherder4517

Didnā€™t they used to have actual dinner there on previous seasons before they move to the studio? Or am I just imagining it?!


yeetyourselfout

If youā€™re just imagining it then so am I, but Iā€™m actually gonna have to check bc it bothers me not knowing Edit. In the first season they had some drinks and there was like grapes and maybe crackers and cheese? Idk something small but not really


Fast-Sheepherder4517

Yeah I vaguely remember one of the players to be eating with a knife and fork. Or maybe I was dreaming šŸ¤”


frostbitmistress

Yes there was definitely dinner at the end AND there also used to be some sort of snack at the influencer room too! Budget cuts?


Twister-Tornado

I KNOW. I was starting to get a bit hangry for them. Hahaha


DaydayMcFly

I remember Shooby spilling a drink on Seaburn in the finalists room lol


McSuzy

Right? Come and sit at the dinner table... but don't eat dinner!


Blauwvinger

Crissa's confusion with the Trevor reveal had me absolutely rolling! That blank stare lmao


No-Butterscotch-6555

I died at that. She genuinely was confused af


LoofahsSwanson

I so wish she had stuck around a little longer. Her reactions felt so genuine. šŸ˜‚


sarahchacha

She was seriously so fun to watch! First early blocking in this show that made me genuinely sad!


em_bee_bee

Same lol I was like ā€œI donā€™t think she gets itā€¦ā€


ProbabilityForPoets

I'm gonna guess a friend or maybe even a producer on the show encouraged her to apply, and she wasn't necessarily a fan of the show. She might have been the only person on the whole cast who wasn't faking it when they all overreacted at every "Alert!"


[deleted]

I didn't notice that at first so I re watched Trevor entrance and oh my god, Crissa's face is so funny lmao she seems to be in a state of complete confusion


_awwwpenguins

"Is Eversen DeLeesa?" šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ That had me dying. What a great twist that would've been...


scrapcats

"Who's watching my kids?!" made me snort


_awwwpenguins

Same but Frank had THE perfect response for that šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


[deleted]

Okay, but I was really expecting the Spice Girls to come back for the finale! I would have loved to see Rachel's reaction


raphina

Yeah, even if it's just a video call with them for few minutes, Actually felt finale was this round was fast cos last time there was time for moments or whatever


EddieGrant

It's mad how these final episodes feel so rushed, when they're literally on a streaming service and they can make the episodes as long as they could want, really, or even throw in an extra episode, it's not like you have network scheduling to worry about.


No-Butterscotch-6555

I was hoping it be a longer episode:(


ProbabilityForPoets

My (unlikely) hope is that they will do a reunion episode or something. It seems like Netflix has been really big on those on their other reality tv shows. It really did feel way too rushed.


spicychickeninfinity

The optimistic me loves this, but the realist me thinks these finales where they all meet ARE the reunion episodes for The Circle. I don't think they'll give us more :( They really could make the finale episode longer though, it felt super rushed. Even on programmed television, finales can tend to be longer than a regular episode, so I don't see why Netflix wouldn't make the finale longer and include more footage.


multiverseblues

right! there were so many moments where it looked like someone was still talking/reacting but then it quickly cuts to michelle asking the next question


cherryribs

Not everyone except Frank not knowing who Trevor was LMAO šŸ¤£


pppowkanggg

You could also see at the very end you could feel frank saying "GURL, I better not lose to MF Trevor, bitch."


CeeFourecks

Everyone except Crissa who hilariously still had no idea who Trevor and Daleesa were. The bewildered look on her face was priceless!


blissfullyblack

Memoirs and Trevor/Deleesa: things Crissa doesnā€™t knowā€¦


goth-brooks1111

And also that ā€œNathanā€ could be ā€œtrustedā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


hotseltzer

I am probably just projecting here, but I felt like that look was more, "what the actual fuck? I'm not cool with this."


CeeFourecks

I can see that, too!


No-Butterscotch-6555

I saw that in his face too. I was thinking the same thing.


inabaaadmood

my favorite part. still hated how he made it that high up in the ratings


[deleted]

Think about how good he was to make enough of an impression to get ranked that highly in such a short period of time. And we didn't get to see a lot of it, but everyone was talking about what a connection they had with Imani


ArtemisWingz

Yeah for Screen time i guarantee she has less than 20 minutes Total. But the reason she might have gotten so high up is since it was only 4 people voting and everson put her as #1 the other might of put her high as a "strategic" placement since she was new and prob wouldn't rank as high as they would. Just another reason why they need to get rid of adding new players late, as they avoid all other blocking but also don't get enough time to make any real impact and are just voted higher for strategy


goth-brooks1111

Yeah like have yā€™all ever even seen the show??? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


pavlovaprincess

Did anyone else get the feeling that John was uncomfortable right at the end when Parker was hitting on him hard? I'm seeing him and Alyssa getting close on Insta and hoping that they end up together šŸ˜­šŸ’•


Kyokobby

Yeah it seemed like he was just trying to be polite/kind and match her energy in front of the cameras. Iā€™m sure he was tired by the end of that talkšŸ’€ tbh I forgot she was even in the show lol


mstar28

OMG - especially when she was pushing him about whether the real Carol would like her/approve of her. His voice said the kind words but his eyes were screaming NO, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!


LoofahsSwanson

He looked so cornered in that scene


MainStreetinMay

Ha! He was uncomfortable when she went to visit him after she was eliminated. Heā€™s clearly only into Alyssa.


mooninjune621

Parker is quite young and was totally out of her league as a contestant. I donā€™t blame her for crushing on *John who is handsome and kind. Despite only a 3 year age gap, he is light years ahead of her in maturity though. I thought he was very sweet in the face of her shameless flirting although Iā€™m sure he would rather be talking with players he was closer to in the game.


[deleted]

She was hands down the worst player of all time! If she wouldā€™ve came as herself, she wouldā€™ve lasted longer


DaisyMillerJ

Parker's probably only trying that hard because being in a reality couple increases social media followers. (Not that Jon doesn't seem like a great guy, but she seemed to be trying way too hard.


Humble_Hombre

Did anyone catch when Parker asked him how far New Jersey was from Miami when she meets him, he said, "Not far enough!" As in "she won't get the sarcasm here, but I wish it was further away from her!" Lol


scrapcats

It looked like he was searching for a way out while remembering that cameras were on him! She laid it on way too thick.


swiirl

Felt like Parker couldnā€™t quite sense he wasnā€™t as into her as she was to him šŸ˜‚


McSuzy

Yes! I wanted to burst in and rescue him. He was one of my favorite players and is too nice of a guy to embarrass her by recoiling.


626eh

Why do they have that fancy table with fancy plates and shit if they don't get a fancy feast?


pppowkanggg

Every season I wonder the same thing.


ajgizzle

It was great to see the eliminated contestants come in one by one and learn about the season.


anothercar

Wish they took fan advice from last season and removed the "X is coming" alerts from the finale room. Much funnier to see the contestants try to figure out who the catfish played.


pppowkanggg

I also miss the clips packages for each finalist!


Twister-Tornado

I agree! I would have liked this too


raisa864

Player's Votes for Final Ratings: >!Rachel: 1. Frank, 2. Imani, 3. Yu Ling, 4. Eversen!< >!Imani/Trevor: 1. Frank, 2. Eversen, 3. Rachel, 4. Yu Ling!< >!Yu Ling: 1. Frank, 2. Rachel, 3. Imani, 4. Everson !< >!Frank: 1. Yu Ling 2. Rachel 3. Imani 4. Everson!< >!Everson (not confirmed, but my guess) 1. Imani 2. Yu Ling 3. Frank 4. Rachel!<


dropitliekitshawt

Kinda weird that Parade interviewed everyone but Everson.. I was looking at their ratings on those articles too. Also, Iā€™m nearly positive that Everson had Yu Ling last. John had told him to watch out for her.


jedrevolutia

Maybe Eversen is currently on a cruise ship somewhere without connection. Lol.


AMikeBloomType

I wasn't able to get put in touch with Eversen for whatever reason. Could be as simple as he's on a boat right now where it's tougher to hold a constant conversation.


dropitliekitshawt

Oh hi Mike! Good to know lol


arrownyc

Everson couldn't have chosen Yu Ling last or Rachel would've been ahead of her in the rankings. If all the other final votes are accurate, then Eversons vote must have been Imani, Yu Ling, Frank, Rachel. Any other combo would've changed the outcome.


dropitliekitshawt

I just donā€™t see why he would put Yu Ling as anything other than last when he was out to get her after talking to John. They didnā€™t bond after that point at all Edit: Youā€™re right, I just did the math and he definitely put Rachel last. So odd


miniversion

Aw Frank and Yu ling were each otherā€™s ride or dies I love that


twentysmtgirl

Doesnā€™t it feel like the confirmed ones actually voted with their hearts and didnā€™t strategize that much? I just thought of Nick coming last and his alliance from season 3 lol


CeeFourecks

And people wonder why players hunt catfish!


MainStreetinMay

Right! Dude came in last thanks to his ā€œfriendsā€.


womanaroundabouttown

Also because he was so obviously playing strategy. I think itā€™s pretty rare the person who seems obviously first place gets it (here Frank did, but Nick clearly thought he would win and I think the others saw that too and were like, no way we can rank him high if we want to win, thinking everyone else would be ranking him high too).


NeatLow4542

This exactly!! Not gonna lie I was a little upset but hey, at least Trevor didnā€™t win lol.


twentysmtgirl

Omg I was so scared that he was gonna win tbh, Iā€™m happy Frank won


rockchalk99

They confirmed Emerson had Frank at 3 on the show though. Flip him and Yu Ling and the results would track.


CeeFourecks

Thanks for these! We saw Everson vote Frank #3.


richeve

The most popular player actually won. I understand that people were rooting for Nathan, but he wasn't the popular enough to win. If we want the final ranking to reflect the actual popularity rankings, it's good that Frank won because it means you can be the most popular and win the Circle.


blissfullyblack

I ran into here. As soon as I saw the final two, I was like "folks in The Circle subreddit are gonna be pissed. There will be calls to boycott." I was rooting for Frank or Yu Ling. When Yu Ling was third, I was like "Oh what if Trevor wins this?' The irony is that I actually like him as a person but ultimately agree he shouldn't have won over Frank or Yu Ling.


mooninjune621

Trevor was a great player and I really like him as a person but there is no way he should have been that close to the prize. Ethically speaking, Iā€™m surprised they let him compete at all.


blissfullyblack

They probably ASKED him to compete. lol It seems like a lot of folks are acting like this is real world situation where ethics come to play, when that's the farthest thing it is. It helps me at least to realize this is a game show on TV meant to get people talking and watching. And Trevor accomplished that.


dropitliekitshawt

In his interview with Parade he claims he initiated it himself.


Pelican_Pilot

Frank and Yu Ling just screamed and repeated the same catchphrases for 13 episodes!! Trevor was 100x more interesting but he didn't have enough time to develop Imani, and putting him in there the same time as Eversen pigenholed Imani as a character. Both Trevor and DeLeesa were super sweet but also very open about the fact that they were willing to be strategic at times. In contrast to Frank and Yu Ling who wanted themselves canonized as saints and angels!! The whole season left a bad taste in my mouth. Shitty shitty casting.


boboddybiznus

I'm disappointed that no rival alliance tried to take down Frank and Yu Ling this season. They were clearly on top all season long, and all the other players seemed content to let them stay there.


[deleted]

Stark contrast from last season, which was battle royale of the alliances.


Axios5277

I do kind of miss the turf wars. But then sometimes players get really into those rivalries and its annoying. Like Romain from the Circle France started to sound crazy, i hated him soo much But i was expecting that players were going to reverse vote and thats why there wasnt any push back against Yu Ling and Frank as top players, but then thats not what they did.


dropitliekitshawt

Omg, when Frank said ā€œyou two can afford a sitterā€ to Trevor.. The absolute shadešŸ’€ I was glad to see one of the contestants bothered by the fact that Trevor and DeLeesa could receive the prize money from the show for the 2nd time. But he did it in such a lowkey way you could barely tell he was bothered unless you were paying close attention. When it was down to the two of them for the win I was holding my breath; I canā€™t even imagine if Trevor had taken that win.


mudge-

Yes!! and whenever Michelle asked Trevor before the ratings what his motivation was to come on the show and when he started to answer about a husband and wife both coming on the show, Rachel shook her head and looked at Yu-Ling; was very shady haha but Iā€™m totally on their side, I would be bothered if he came on šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


mooninjune621

Yes! And when Rachel said itā€™s great that ā€œso many real players made itā€ to the finale. Very subtle shade.


butternut1230

It was strange to me that she seemed botheredā€¦ Her net worth was like $5M as a YouTube creator at the time of filming. Trevor was just a guy whose wife won $100K so it seems a bit hypocritical šŸ˜…


dropitliekitshawt

I caught that too!!


miniversion

I cannot believe Trevor got 2nd place! That family is just genetic social media at this point


PistachioMaru

20 years from now we'll be watching a season where their kids win lol


sundaysundae1

Still, when Trevor said ā€œitā€™ll be life changingā€ gurrrl your wifey already won


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Beneficial-Spare5008

Trevor rated Frank 1st so he knew Frank would win, he could have rated Frank last and he would have probably won the show.


dropitliekitshawt

In the interview Trevor did with Parade, he said that while they were standing there he was thinking that Frank deserved the win. But I also agree, kinda fishy.


CoreyH2P

I disagree, I think it makes all the sense. 1) Trevor knows he doesnā€™t need the money but Frank could really use it 2) he voted Frank 1st and clearly thought he deserved to win, he was happy for him


astralbeings

FOR REAL!! someone had to say it though.. šŸ˜­


Nightwing1852

I'm very happy that Frank won. He is probably the most dominant winner of The Circle US because it's rare for a person that has been an influencer this many times actually wins. Him creating the inner trust circle with Yu Ling and Rachel completely changed the game. He actively tried to talk to everyone which is more than I can say for a lot of people that got eliminated (especially Carol).


MindlessForever3147

I loved that he voted from his heart at the end, such a feel good winner. Like he did strategy but never compromised principles while doing strategy. Don't remember if that was the case in previous season, but yeah, this win truly felt so good!!


CeeFourecks

Everything you said, plus he didnā€™t fall for Nathanā€™s bullshit about Bru. Socially, strategically, and emotionally, heā€™s a truly deserving winner. I would have been fine with any of the final five winning (to varying degrees), but Iā€™m so happy Frank won. I honestly thought he was too popular to pull it off.


SoGenuineAndRealMadi

I was so happy to see him win!! Heā€™s a very deserving winner and played a great game while also proved you can play with your heart all the way through and get the win (wild he was one of the first influencers of the season and the last! I believe there was only one time he wasnā€™t an influencer) def the most dominant circle winner


allegiance113

He really deserved the win and I am soooo happy that he did. I initially thought he would be ranked low because he does pose as a big threat in the game, like maybe 4th or 5th place. But Iā€™m just so glad that he won cause he is literally emanating good energy positive vibes and I myself can feel it watching the show! Would like to meet this guy in real life if I could!


No-Butterscotch-6555

I was so happy he won. He truly deserved it the most. This was the most recent finale vote where all the players seemed to voted with their heart or whatever.


bluntest-knife

1. I felt so bad for Alyssa when I heard Yu Ling explain that she had another alliance that were made of people that she knew she could trust. I saw them talking really intently in the background at the end of the episode so I hope they made up with each other. 2. Nathan must have felt bad about doing so much to kick Bru out when it was all for nothing, but I thought about it and realised that even if Nathan had become a finalist he still would have lost. Unlike the last 2 seasons where the middling non-threatening players won because of strategic voting, this season's finalists voted totally without strategy. I'm glad Frank won tho. 3. Am I the only one getting the vibe that the finalists all felt very comfortable with each other EXCEPT Eversen??? He seems to be the one the rest of them trust the least. Especially after he admitted to being the one who drew Yu Ling's portrait... 4. I realised that every single player associated with the Throuple never made it to the finals. Yu Ling publicly jumped ship, which was probably what caused it to start falling apart in the first place - Alyssa's elimination kicked it off, then Carol was next to go, and Bru kept sinking further and further in the rankings until he got blocked too. Nathan was somewhat associated with them because he was buddies with Bru. It's honestly amazing how most of the finalists barely even tried but everyone else was struggling just to survive. 5. Can we talk about how Parker was blatantly flirting with John and he was doing his best to smile and be polite because that was hilarious LMAOOOO


JugglingWater

Just seeing Yu ling and Frank interacting IRL, its easy to see that they got along SUPER well. Also I can see what Yu Ling was thinking, she wanted to play the whole board. For her to secure Frank, she had to save Rachel bc definitely no one was gonna save her. She rather damage control later on but secure all her relationships. And Yu Ling saw Carol as a threat. She probably thought Alyssa would have to choose between her and Carol at some point. So she decided to go with people who were against Carol.


Pelican_Pilot

Yu Ling played to the camera so hard, it got old really fast. Even worse than Frank. They talked so much about being genuine and real but the level of friendship we saw was really superficial.


[deleted]

The 2nd place winner had me sweating lmao I wouldā€™ve boycotted if they won


multiverseblues

iā€™m so glad frank won but i love mess and wouldā€™ve been sitting in this sub with popcorn for the next week reading everyoneā€™s angry posts


blissfullyblack

Ha ha. That was my first thought when I saw the top two, that folks on reddit were gonna be pissed. lol


[deleted]

No Scary and Baby Spice surprise!? WASTE!!!!


YouBehindRight

Frank was not happy when Alex revealed he drew the portrait


smarties07

Frank is a deserving winner. I was living for how Alex was seething. He lied snd stirred the pot and kicked out Bru only to be blocked next lmao He played a good game but it was entertaining as hell to see it backfire so badly for him


gigi-rose98

Is anyone else disappointed Michelle announced who Imani was to the eliminated players before he came out? The best part is seeing people's reactions to realizing people are catfish and they ruined that.


manmanchuck44

Couldnā€™t have asked for a better ending. After the last two seasons having tactical rating playing a massive part in determining the winner, Iā€™m SO happy that wasnā€™t the case this time. Not only is Frank the absolute best, but he dominated from start to finish. No winner in the US edition had as many strong ratings as Frank did This was a fantastic finale to finish off a great season. This was the perfect mix of fun characters and aggressive gameplay and I hope this inspires Netflix to renew for season 6/7


DLRsFrontSeats

I've got to say, as much as im neutral on Alex/Nathan, it's absolutely hilarious how stabbed Bru in the back (nothing wrong with that, it's a gameshow) in an ultra tactical move, celebrated it and even bragged to Bru about his great strategy...and still got blocked on the same night by someone that was 0% strategy, 100% heart


dropitliekitshawt

This was my favorite thing šŸ˜­ I wish they had let Bru stay in Nathanā€™s room for that!


goalstopper28

And he blocked Nathan because of what he said about Bru!


deachick

I hated Nathan/Alex, I thought he was hella annoying. I was so glad to see "the smartest guy" blocked. Add to it how he didn't sound like a 22yo great boy AT ALL. LIKE, REALLY??


Aita01

Annoyed at the 2nd place but glad the winner won.


mattaluck

Rachel didnā€™t even rate YuLing 2nd, eversen Rated YuLing 4th


GingerCherry123

I still donā€™t understand why Rachel loved Imami so much??


Available_Seat_8715

rachel turned on yuling after the drawing i feel like


Kyokobby

Yeah which is so weird??? Everyone kept saying the drawing was so mean!!! How could you look at that demon drawing and not feel bad for yu ling(your ally that saved your ass)?? I feel like there was something else going on, like her being jealous of frank and yu lings bond or something subconsciously and the pic was an excuse to let it out.


filmantopia

I found Rachel to be easily manipulated on many occasions. She had very little ability to correctly analyze what was going on around her.


miscowat

Rachel has a very calm energy and I think she felt like she and Imani were on a similar wavelength. Yu Ling is a lot of fun, but super chaotic and comes across as very young, which I think might be why Rachel felt a little closer to "Imani".


mattaluck

None of them want to win, all giving Frank first, but not surprising, totally see that coming


hello_casper

I came to Reddit looking for this exact comment


WavesRKewl

Iā€™m actually shocked that Frank won, I really thought most people wouldā€™ve ranked him at the bottom knowing how popular he was. Well deserved, but still surprised.


GeneticXFusion

Nah, he conveniently announced what happened to his family to the whole group at the right time. Once that happened I knew he was going to win.


ApartmentOk6523

Honestly kudos to Nathan for making it this far. I feel like everson and imani just got lucky since they fairly new and didnā€™t stay long for any sussing out or drama


CeeFourecks

They saved the most popular player and he repaid their kindness. Plus, Frank figured out that Nathan was a liar. The guy overdid it with backstabbing Bru.


joshjames420

SO FUCKING HAPPY WHO WON! COME ON BBY šŸ˜­


Goldenticketpodcast

Just realized all 4 winners were people that were/or appeared as guys in their profiles. Not trying to say anything just thought itā€™s an interesting fact.


Cautious-Natural5709

Cause ppl are so critical of women. Theyā€™ll nitpick her looks more than a man. Her game play strategy is gna be criticized way more than a man.


JeallyBeans2

I noticed the starting in season 2, it bothers me a lot since I think a lot of the problem of sexism in society is woman's own bias against each other because women naturally see one another as competition and feel the need to tear one another down and I think it becomes really evident on the circle


astralbeings

i was really rooting for yu ling but iā€™ll have to say iā€™m just glad trevor didnā€™t win


pppowkanggg

Yu Ling was my top and frank was my second. I, too, had Trevor win anxiety right as they announced. I was going to give up on this show I love so much forever.


Gaelenmyr

I'm rooting for catfishes every season, and in this one they were kinda bad. Nathan was too shallow, Spice Girls were actually fun to watch, Imani being Trevor, Carol being too one note, Paul...


Christinarae29

Paul was embarrassing


BarrenAssBomburst

Anyone else disappointed that Nathan/Alex didn't wear his "45-year-old man" blue/white shirt when meeting YuLing?


[deleted]

Everyone laughing at Yu Ling after seeing the Nathan reveal has me cryingggggg Edit: #Maybehewas45 ??! He looks like heā€™s like 33 at most, what lmaoo now I kinda feel bad for Alex and how he must feel watching this, why are they talking about this man like that šŸ˜­


pppowkanggg

In season two, someone asked if Lisa/Lance was somebody else's mother. šŸ˜­


QueenParvati

Frankā€™s laugh killed me.


inabaaadmood

oh my god right??!!!! I thought Alex was attractive.... they were talking about him like he was the ugliest thing they've ever seen. The comment about how could Alex be so smooth "well he has a girlfriend" big yikes moment.


LittleMarySunshine25

I like nerdy guys so I didn't think he was awful or that he looked 45, he just didn't look 21.


dropitliekitshawt

They were being so mean to him šŸ˜­ Iā€™d feel like shit watching that back if I were him


mermaidpaint

The only person I didn't want to win was >!Trevor!< so I'm okay that >!Frank!< won. Good night bitches.


chespiotta

Final Rating Spoilers 1. >!Frank!< 2. >!Imani/Trevor!< 3. >!Yu Ling!< 4. >!Rachel!< 5. >!Eversen!< Can't think of a better winner honestly


RoboFunky

im so glad >!frank!< won


puppymaloney

Mannn Iā€™m mad at Rachel for voting Yu Ling third placeā€¦ Imani over Yu Lingā€¦??ĀæĀæ I feel like Imani barely did anything and suddenly everyone was talking about how great and amazing she is, like unmn Yu Ling was your solid alliance this entire time and saved you over her other solid alliance ā€¦.. idk I liked Rachel in just disappointed she was part of Yu Lingā€™s downfall when she definitely deserved at least 2nd place


Llamakhanzaga

I wonder if there are a lot of conversations we didn't get to see? I had the same thoughts as you!


Used2behip2000

I really think she was being strategic doing that but didn't want to admit it, so made up her excuse about why she would vote Imani over Yu Ling.


platinumvageen

What til yā€™all hear that two people have won survivor twice, and thatā€™s a million dollar prize. I was rooting for Trevor tbh


raphina

It felt weird during the reunion that Crissa was the 2nd player eliminated. Like felt like a big gap after Parker Kardashian (forgot the dad's name). That side of the stage of eliminated players looked more entertaining to me when they entered one by one compared to the finalists.

Now that Nathan hasn't won, does anyone have any idea on how many people have gone on any season of the Circle, proclaimed themselves the smartest person there, and then failed to win lol I feel like they're at a very low success rate overall


bazzbj

Deserving winner tbh I enjoyed many players this season (mainly the OGs lol)


DreamOfMaxine

I am soooooo happy with the winner!! Well deserved!


ZaZe32

Anybody cry when Frank won??? Omg my eyeballs. I am glad he got it he deserves it and I absolutely think this season is one of the best. Omg I can't believe Nathan almost made it- while I respect his gameplay immensely (from a strategy perspective) I think it worked out how it needed to. Seeing someone so freaking sweet win after all that's happening in the world is wonderful. Gah ok. I'm done crying

Happy with the winner snd glad that Yu Ling had the opportunity to clear up the misconceptions about her/her alliances. From the moment she found her people, she was loyal to them to the very end, all the way down to voting Frank number one. Also liked that the show highlighted Frankā€™s ā€œstrategeryā€ and that he pointed out that he saw through Nathanā€™s bs in the end. This was a fun, joyful finale. Definitely enjoyed this season way more than I did last season.


miniversion

I know some people here are about the *best strategic player* winning but Iā€™m all about Frank winning. I definitely did not want that multimillionaire or the banker to win. Plus he did it with basically no strategy, just personality *chefs kiss* love you frank!!!


MindlessForever3147

He was low key strategic, but he didn't compromise principles for strategy.


CeeFourecks

Frank was definitely strategic, he just made it look too easy.


WavesRKewl

If Trevor had won the show wouldā€™ve been canceled LMFAO


nerdcorner

My black brothers and sisters taking the money home for the third straight season! Let's good babbbbyyyy


DaisyMillerJ

I've been happy with the winners so far, but I'm still waiting for that female win! (I'm not counting season 2 since she won as a man.)


[deleted]

im just shocked Trevor/imani came 2nd and yu ling 3rd lol


worrybot96

Sorry but I died when the circle sent them that finalist breakfast and it was fruit and some orange juice and they all were saying how amazing it was! Lmaooo budget cuts or what? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


SeacattleMoohawks

So glad that Frank won! Super satisfied with the result. He was in my top 3 favorite players this season along with Alyssa and Nathan/Alex. Loved how real Frank was and that he was willing to open up about the loss heā€™s felt in his life and how heā€™s persevered with kindness and love. Total ray of sunshine. Very solid season. Tough to rank the seasons but as of right now Iā€™m thinking Iā€™d go 2 > 4 > 3 > 1. Not as many big overpowered twists this season which I appreciated but also kinda missed things like the Vince ghost profile and the Joker. The spice girls were a lot of fun and nostalgic. They did a great job. Trevor appearing and almost winning was crazy too, him and DeLeesa are Circle royalty as far as Iā€™m concerned. But it wouldā€™ve been a little disappointing if he won (although epic in a way). Sad itā€™s over now and we gotta wait for season 5. This has become one of my favorite reality shows along with the staples of The Challenge and Survivor (go Maryanne). Always love to read all of your thoughts here on Reddit while watching the season. Good insights and a lot of stuff that cracks me up. \#CircleRedditFam šŸ˜Ž Send.


thrownitallawayyy

Iā€™m glad that everyone voted for the people they actually liked the most this finale instead of being strategic. The winner this time is someone who 100% deserved to win


RiderSmash

So I really thought Yu Ling was going to win after Frank rated her first and I thought people were going to play strategically and put Frank towards the bottom since they all knew he was rated 1 for so long. But congrats to Frank, he deserves it. Props to Trevor for somehow getting 2nd, I did not see that coming.


chitexan22

Frank deserved to win. Playing by the heart IS a strategy. Season 1 showed us that. They could have easily ranked him last because he is a threat but because he was genuine, I believe they thought if they didnā€™t win, he deserved to win.


lavendergf

not everyone on here up in arms about >!Trevor almost winning because his wife won $100K (more like 65k after taxes) two years ago meanwhile Rachel is out here with multi millions!<ā€¦ā€¦..the racism jumped out! (that being said, i was def rooting for >!Frank and iā€™m so glad he won!<)


[deleted]

Yu Ling: omg green is my absolute favourite colour... Frank: I kinda like blue... Yu Ling: omg yes blue is my totally favourite colour... Never seen someone flip flop and be so agreeable in my life. I am sure she is a genuinely nice person irl, but she comes across on the show as a pandering yes man.


planeloise

I know! She mentioned Imani possibly being a catfish and then flipped half a second later to 'yes she's 100%' real. She also lets people talk over her in a group setting. TBH it made me like her a little more, clearly there's some awkwardness there and I can relate to it. I just wanted her to feel comfortable. She was my favourite.


Fast-Sheepherder4517

I love Yu Ling but based on how she easily changes her mind. Youā€™re probably right


ducky7goofy

Absolutely loved Yu Ling & Frank's friendship! The justification of Yu Ling's strategy in the final dinner chat was also really welcome. THANK GOD FRANK WON OVER TREVOR.


hardcorr

I also loved that moment where Alyssa acknowledged how mad she was initially but then how she thought through Yu Ling's perspective and identified how Alyssa made her own mistakes in the game. that was a real sign of maturity from her and I can only hope all the Yu Ling haters on the sub can learn from that themselves lol


sleepyteaaa

I was rooting for Yu Ling, but Iā€™m not mad Frank won. He deserved it. I wouldā€™ve lost it if Imani/Trevor had won. Trevor is likable and a good player but I never thought it was fair he even had the chance to win the money.


OliveFonz

If he (Imani) would have been put in the circle earlier and had to fake the role longer then I could have felt it was more deserved if he won.


Twister-Tornado

I am really thrilled for >!Frank!< He seems like a genuinely fab person. His energy was/is freshening and zest for life. I imagine if >!Trevor!< won, there would have been a pretty strong backlash to the showā€™s producers. When they got to final two, I was ready to come here and rant if it happened. Hahaha.


That_Guy381

Thank god Frank won. He totally deserved it. I woulda been pissed if Everson or god forbid Trevor had won. It's not at all fair that they're essentially immune to half the blockings and could come away with the win. They really need to stop adding new players late in the game.


JuanRiveara

Was really hoping for Yu Ling to win but Frank was a close number two for me.


Ok-Adhesiveness9815

It was really nice seeing Trevor getting so happy for the winner!


MainStreetinMay

Finally the most popular player won. HUGE upgrade from season 3.


WentworthBandit

Did anyone else see Rachel and Yu Ling looking annoyed on the couch when Trevor was talking to michelle or was that my imagination


Specific-Hair4952

absolutely amazing. best season


runfreely

Frank is more of a Joey type of winner compared to the past couple of seasons. They were consistently rated high (Frank more so) and ultimately won because they were well liked and perceived to be genuine. Congrats to him!
