The Circle

[LittleBigPlanet]

Final on Monday!

Anyone got a strong favourite for the winner?

I'm a Dan and Sian fan!

[Miocene]

I think it's hard to look pas Dan or Sian at the moment, though Sian's spat with Precious may have an impact. Also, Dan may garner sympathy votes from Mairead and Kate if the truth comes out.

excuse to make trashy reality television to appeal to the hard of thinking. Sign of the times.

If it's trashy, then c4 will end up doing it

Another good episode.

Probably the best reality show on TV.

I know that's not saying much but I really enjoy watching this, the rest are ste imo.

I cant stand TOWIE or MIC but this is actually quite good....if nothing else cause I have kids (7 and 10) who will be coming into this world, so now I know what they're up against ....:-o

Also reaffirms my decision not to engage in FB, SC, IG etc etc

Scotty did himself a lot of favours when he met Freddie last night.

I watched last night’s episode with my parents. Mum is 77 and Dad 81 - they both use the net inc Facebook and were interested. I think we all need educating sometimes.

Surely PH comes under this umbrella too...?

I think that this is a great show with so many layers. We accidentally caught it after an episode of Grand Designs and have been hooked since. Don’t mind who wins now, but would’ve preferred Scotty to get to the final in Fridays show.

How far we as viewers behind the actual events? On Fridays show they have clips of what was due to be shown on Sunday (tonight).

I’ve joked with the OH that a big twist could be that the entire thing is scripted/fake and we as viewers have been drawn in... some sort of metaphor as to the purpose/outcome of social media in the world.

Oh, and I can’t wait for Dan to meet ‘Kate’.

[Gretchen]

Download the app and follow them on Instagram. It gives an insight in to what goes on after they’re blocked. The app shows them watching clips back. Their reactions to seeing people for real. Precious was so self obsessed it took her a while to click that Kate is in fact Alex.

Gutted Scotty is out. He should’ve definitely been in the final four. He’s back at work today. Wouldn’t mind a ride with him.

[Pericoloso]

Freddie....."Harry sent Scotty home."

Sian owns up.

Freddie......"I knew it was Sian."

Oh FFS !.

Dislike him even more,if that's possible.....

There's going to be a priceless moment when the other 3 meet Kate tonight.

Will they also change tack when Freddie reveals he's not the hetro he's pretended to be ?

It's got to be Dan or Sian FTW.

[Gretchen]

Sian’s already said she doesn’t care and would be happy as she’d have a new gay bestie. Kate/Alex isn’t in a position to judge and Dan is far too cool to be bothered or want to appear homophobic.

I think voting is pre meeting

[Miocene]

Sure just vote everyone as a 1 to give yourself more of a chance of winning?

It clarified last night they vote and then they meet. The look on Kates / Alexs face was priceless, but I wonder if Freddie being so clearly gay will help dampen the reaction to Kate.

That's what i took from it too, they vote then meet up.

[Supersam83]

I just don't understand why nobody in there is just rating everybody else 1 star to just win the competition as the individual ratings are anonymous.

Surely it would be the way to win the game regardless of how you get on with everyone else.

Which is pretty much what Freddy is doing. I always get frustrated at this sort of thing with people bhing about other contestants saying that they are "playing a game" which makes them bad people, surely you are all playing a game? That's what you went in there for.

[Brigand]

I'd like to see Dan win this, but I think it's going to be a tough call between him and Sian. Freddie is a contender but I don't think he'll make the mark, and Kate doesn't really stand a chance as I think only Dan would vote for her.

As others have just mentioned, I'm not sure why people bother with mid-star ratings, I'd be in there voting one star to nearly everyone and five stars to those I wanted to build a powerbase with to increase my chances of staying in longer. Anything other than a one or a five isn't really worth it.

This show really has me hooked though, and I never watch 'reality' stuff like this normally. It wouldn't surprise me if we see more series of this, but future ones will just descend into silliness just like Big Brother did over the years.

I Totally agree and think that once people know the game, it will change. I think it's got maybe 1 or 2 more series in it. I hope they keep it so that the public has no influence as I think that's one of the best bits, doesn't matter how they come across to everyone outside, it's how they appear on the inside that matters.
