The Circle

Our Circle wedding party has been joined

by our first wedding crasher.

That didn't take long.

And the players are about to meet their uninvited guest, Tierra.

Tierra, if you're gonna come through and crash my Circle Wedding Party

that I'm getting down and boogying at,

best believe we're snooping through your profile to find out

who the heck you are.

Circle, take me to Tierra's profile.

"Tierra. Fierce, crazy, hilarious. 28."

-The "fierce" she's not lying about. - She came in hot.

-She reminds me of Gianna. -I respect that.

-That could be a good possible ally. - "#KikiWithTT"?

Dude, what the hell does that even mean?

Kiki. Let's have a kiki. Let's have a kiki.

She's a makeup influencer. Interesting.

"Mother to my four-year-old bestie."

Aw, Tierra. Oh, but Madelyn doesn't have kids.

She loves some good food. Hey, same here.

-Chicky nuggets, PB and J's. -I'm not getting positive vibes from her.

You can't just come into a place

where you're the only person that everybody don't know,

and you be like, "If you have a problem, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Like girl, first of all, don't come in here trying to run things.

because there's already a person doing that, and that's me.

Oh, wifey over there a little feisty. She don't like sharing me.

I'm a married man, Tierra. I'm just letting you know now.

I'm the queen of this shit!

Such a lovely service.

And now let's meet the wedding crasher, shall we?

Girl, bottle's been popped, glass been full. Let's get it started.

Are we ready?

My name is Antonio. I'm 31 years old.

I'm an insurance adjuster from Nashville, Tennessee.

Nash Vegas, baby!

So I'm coming to The Circle as my bestie, Tierra.

She is a beauty influencer who's not afraid to show her blemishes,

and she's fun.

Her smile radiates a room, and I'm gonna use her

to let people know chocolate is in.

I had to put that out.

The reason why I'm not going in as myself is because there is, I feel,

some unsaid male beauty standard that does kind of make me,

like, apprehensive at times.

So I wanna use Tierra as my mask, as my face, so that I can, behind that,

go ahead and be myself, unreserved, be unhinged and go forth in this game.

I'm going to lie.

If I need to be messy, I'm absolutely gonna be messy.

If I need to be petty, I'm gonna be petty.

Whatever I need to say, do to get myself further,

throw anybody under the bus, train, under the carpet,

whatever is needed, I'm doing it.

My game plan in this game is GGG. It's give it, get it, got it.

I wanna give people trust, give people my allegiance,

so that, in return, I hope to get their allegiance,

get their trust, so that once I've gotten it,

I can use that to manipulate it in my own perspective.

I'm ready for whatever. Y'all ain't ready for TT.

Okay, message,

"Tierra,

what's a Circle party without a little surprise?"

"All the girls on the dance floor."

"Garret, you're coming too."

"Winky-face emoji, laughing emoji."

Send message.

Oh, I'm ready to twerk some shit.

Tierra, do you see the message? Girls are sticking together.

Why not the bros?

I mean, at least Jadejha gets it.

Circle, message...

"Get ready to #ShakeThatAss. Welcome to The Circle."

Can I twerk? Hell, I can twerk a little. I can shake a little ass.

Okay, you're gonna fit right in, Tierra.

Message, "Oh my God. So glad to be here."

"Thank y'all for such an incredible welcome."

"So whose wedding we at?"

"Looking-eye emoji." Circle, send message.

Oh my gosh! Me and Darian are getting married.

Garret's officiating. Gianna, my maid of honor.

Okay, Rachel needs to type a message and tell her whose wedding we're at.

Message, "There's three couples that are getting married tonight..."

"Dot, dot, dot."

-"Andy and Madelyn..." -"...Jadejha and Darian..."

"...and me and this cake!"

So funny!

All right, that's enough.

I like this. That's good.

I'm glad Rachel's big mouth saved the night.

That was good. That's funny, Rachel.

-Rachel's on fire tonight. -She's on freaking fire!

I'm getting too good at playing Rachel.

Yes, Rachel!

Okay, so Andy and Madelyn are a thing.

Jadejha and Darian are a thing.

Okay. People already couple up and shit.

Madelyn needs to answer this because Madelyn wants everyone to know

that Andy and she are a thing.

Message, "That's right."

"This is my wedding day, and Andy's best night is yet to come

on the honeymoon. #Andelyn."

"Andelyn"?

They already got nicknames and shit?

So this is serious.

I feel like Rachel is, like, having a lot of fun with this.

Madelyn!

All right, message, "LMAO."

"I was just about to steal Maddy away to our honeymoon in Fiji."

"Laughing emoji." Send message.

Andy appreciated.

Someone tell him to stop calling me Maddy though.

Let's focus on the task at hand here.

Someone just joined The Circle, for crying out loud.

Message,

"Tierra, tell us more about yourself."

"#SpeakNowAndForeverTherellBePeace."

Cute, Kevin. Cute.

I wanna give him something that's gonna be satisfying,

but not too much, um, as Tierra.

So maybe let's go with...

Message, "Kevin, something about me, I'm adopted, and I'm all about family."

"Hopefully, you all will adopt me into your Circle family."

Circle, send message.

Being adopted is definitely my story.

That's me. I was adopted,

and I think sharing that is gonna connect with the chat on an emotional level.

I think when people think about adoption, they automatically are like, "Aw,"

and that's the reaction that I want.

Aw.

That's really freaking sweet.

Okay, she's adopted. Wow. She's already telling us what's up.

I'm here for that, Tierra. So yeah, for sure.

I'm doing this for my family.

Family is number one to me.

That is something that we can connect with off-rip.

Great info, Inspector Kev.

Aw, you made it to a whole 14 seconds

before turning it into gameplay.

Proud of you, bro.

"Tierra, I'm not adopted,

but I do have a bunch of adopted siblings from my group home."

"I always planned on adopting one day, so #WelcomeToOurCircleFamily."

Send message.

I was actually in a group home.

That is absolutely something that I can connect with Jadejha on.

I feel like that's going to pique some curiosity in people.

Like, "Dang," like, "Maybe that's what she meant

when she said her struggles don't define her."

I did not know Jadejha was from a group home.

It shows she's such a genuine person with a big heart.

She's like, "I wanna adopt somebody one day." You know, I knew I liked her.

Circle, message, "Thank you, Tierra, for sharing that."

"As a teacher,

I feel like all of my students are my adopted kids, which I love."

"#WelcomeToTheCircleFam," with a heart emoji.

Aw. He feels like all his students are his adopted kids.

I hope he's okay with adopting some more kids.

Damn, you ain't even had the honeymoon yet.

Dang, Darian. That was actually a great approach.

That was smart, bro.

Message, "Literally, you guys are so sweet."

"Thank you for your kindness. Let's continue this party in my DMs."

"Wish I could rate everyone number one

because I don't want to lose anyone from this fam. Blow-a-heart-kiss emoji."

Circle, send message.

Well, you can't, Tierra, so I need you to rate Rachel or Madelyn number one.

I don't like that she said, "I wish I could rate everyone number one." Like,

why are you worried about that right now? You just got here.

Maybe he's seen the show before?

I'm hoping that the adoption aspect of this chat

really did pull on some people's heartstrings.

If anything, I think this chat definitely gave me some options on where to start.

I was thrown off guard of a new person getting added into the Wedding Party chat.

I didn't think we were getting anyone new tonight, but that's The Circle.

Tierra's got to feel like the most popular bitch ever right now.

Tierra is in a position of power, she knows it.

Every single one of us is kissing her ass.

Sipping it all.

Night is descending on The Circle.

Champagne has been spilled, but tomorrow, oh honey, there might be tea.

So our players are being sensible and going to bed.

Good night, everyone!

- Good night, Circle! - Good night!

It's morning in The Circle,

so the players are doing what always happens after a wedding,

waking up with headaches and a hazy memory.

Give me five more minutes, Circle.

Good morning, Circle!

Disruptors Rachel and Madelyn better shake off that hangover quick,

'cause they gotta remember they're playing as each other until the next blocking.

What happened last night?

Oh!

"Alert!"

Ooh! You're starting early!

"Alert!" My first Alert!

Ah, you never forget your first.

Oh, whoa!

"Players..."

"...today you will rate each other."

"The bottom-rated player..."

"...will be immediately blocked from The Circle."
