The Circle

[g3org3y]

Anyone else watching this new series on Channel 4?

Trash but finding it rather entertaining and amusing so far.

I don't know if it's related but I quite liked the movie The Circle which was social media too.

If the point in the show is to highlight that social media is full of vacuous, self absorbed fakes they could of done that in 30 minutes and not dragged it out for 3 weeks. However, I don't think that there is a point in the show and its just another excuse to make trashy reality television to appeal to the hard of thinking. Sign of the times.

Lighten up.

It's an easy watch and a new format. I went into it thinking that I'd hate it (my wife watches all the 'Essex' rubbish and BB etc.) and I've found it it entertaining.

I've found it interesting, but I think what interests me is the catfish element and being able to see all sides of the conversation.

The start of tomorrows episode will be interesting where the second person out today (not to spoil it) meets 'Kate'...

Shame 'Christopher' didn't get to meet anyone though.

[S100HP]

Yep, been watching here. Don't normally do reality TV, but there is something about this one. Modern day Big Brother. The face last night when she went into Kates apartment. TV gold.

2 episodes in and one person has just been voted out. I'm Not sure I will carry on because that supergay irritates the life out of me. No-one in real life is like that.

[Pericoloso]

I initially hated this but now find it quite interesting.

I can't stand Freddie though, acts like a 5 year old.

[Ruth Rack]

I've got a feeling that they may reintroduce 'Christopher' as herself in next episode.

You'll see what they're doing if you follow their Facebook feed.

So how far behind are we do you think? Feels like a couple of days lag, looks like most of tonight's episode was filmed Sunday due to rain and ukip story.

[Pericoloso]

I had no idea we were only a couple of days out from the filming.

Given the number of fans on full blast during the day I had a feeling that this was film in the summer, but perhaps not.

Seems that it's filmed in Hayes, west London on a new development there. I presume it won't be 'live' as the place would be inundated with people holding signs up giving the game away!

I'm pretty sure last night show was either Saturday or Sunday just gone due to the weather. The UKIP story about Muslim was only prisons was 5 days ago too.

Something is starting to trouble me, and I'm not convinced its as "reality TV" as its being made out to be. It seems a bit too scripted....

[Brigand]

I haven't watched something like this since the first couple of series of Big Brother, but I've found myself quite hooked by this now. I missed the first two episodes and just thought I'd give number 3 a go.

After Tuesdays episode I'm starting to think this, mainly down to the two women getting bhy over who get's to "date" Dan. That seemed quite out of character for Ginelle and just seemed like it was scripted for drama.

Also, the first name in the credits is "Dave Smith" - Script Writer

Good point, hadn't noticed that, well spotted. In which case, I am surprised there aren't any fans outside shouting/holding up signs to give the game away!

There is the narrator...

Although I did think Genelles comments were out of character. She has a lot of pairs of DMs... i'd not want to mess with her!

[Pericoloso]

Tonight was interesting.

They had to rate each other.

Freddie not liking his low placing ,I dislike him even more.

Fake Freddie was wearing fake tattoo sleeves for some of yesterday and today.....loser.

He also uses the F word almost every time he's on screen.

[Pericoloso]

Some of the friendships are turning sour.

Freddie is a volcano ready to erupt.

They rated each other again and have to wait to next show for results.

If they were in a Big Brother style house ,they'd currently be throttling each other.
