The Circle

Previously...

Players were called out.

"What is the one sign of drowning that most people miss?"

Who the hell's supposed to know that? I mean, a lifeguard is, but...

Imagine he's never been a lifeguard.

Peeps got kicked out.

No!

I wish I could say that I'm sad to see him go.

And Darian and Jadejha made out.

Promises were made.

I've lied so many times to so many different people,

I don't even know how I really feel.

But will they be kept?

This was a tough decision, Circle, but I know who I'm gonna block.

-My heart's going a million miles an hour. -Bring it on.

And now one person holds the game in their hands.

Oh God.

Who will make it to the finale of The Circle?

So fucking close, bro.

It's the final blocking of the season.

Secret super influencer Madelyn has made her decision.

But with great power comes great cringe-ability,

because she's gotta do it face-to-face.

Hello. Wait.

Oh, Madelyn!

I'm so sorry.

Oh, that's so crazy!

I'm so sorry.

Oh my God!

What? I thought you had it out for Rachel.

-I did. -You played me?

No, I did.

But Rachel has been my strongest alliance since I got here.

We swapped profiles for three days

when we got the disruptor, and so we were like,

"We're having our back from now on."

-Then... -What?

...when she called me out in the Circle Chat, I was like,

-"Where did that come from?" -Yeah.

And then Rachel messaged me today and was like, "I'm so sorry." Like,

"Garret came to me and told me some stuff about you."

Which I don't know if I believe that. I don't know if I believe anything.

You believed it enough.

And I thought you were lying to me too in the group chat.

About what? I was honest!

I thought you were closer to Rachel and Gianna.

See, I was,

but then I realized very early on... I was like, "I don't think Rachel's real."

But I was like, "Me and Rachel are in an alliance,

so I'mma keep this information to myself."

And me and Gianna were tight.

That's what I thought, and so I thought you were setting me up.

No. Me and Gianna, Darian and Garret were all in a group chat,

and Gianna was like, "I got all y'all backs."

So then, when she blocked Darian and Garret, I was like,

"Wait a minute. Gianna's been playing me."

I believed everything for the longest time,

and then as soon as I saw the last ratings, I trusted nobody.

It wasn't me.

This might be a tough night for Madelyn,

but the others are realizing they've escaped the final blocking,

and now they're in the finale.

Oh my gosh, bro!

Holy crap! Holy crap!

I told you we would make it to the finish line, and we're going there.

-Let's go! Let's go! -We are going there, babe.

Yes!

No way!

Yes!

I could win this for us, guys. At least I have a fighting chance now.

So why'd you choose to block me?

In a nutshell,

I chose to follow people I've had alliances with longer.

And I didn't think you were being honest with me in the group chat with Tierra

'cause I don't trust that bitch.

-Let me break this down for you... -Okay.

...'cause I've been here since the very beginning.

- Rachel is a catfish. - Mm-hmm.

Everything is very strategic with her, okay?

She's been willing to throw anyone under the bus,

and then the next day she goes, "Oh, I was just kidding. I'm sorry."

"Blah, blah, blah." She's done that to everyone.

My issue is I fold too easily.

-Yeah, 'cause you folded today. -I folded today.

As soon as Rachel messaged me, she said something, and I was like,

"You're right."

Ooh-wee.

I was, like, this close, and you just snatched it from me.

I know, sorry!

So there's that.

Um, I said whatever is meant for me is meant for me, and I meant that.

And I also said whatever is meant to happen will happen, and I meant that.

So you being the secret super influencer means you could actually win this thing.

And you just need to play them the way they playing you,

'cause I'm telling you, your two strongest alliances

are the best players in this game right now.

I'd like a hug, but I understand if you don't.

We can hug, girl.

-Okay. You don't seem like a hugger. -It's okay. See, you know what's crazy?

I feel like I just give off such, like, sweet girl energy, but...

I sincerely... I sincerely...

-You need to avenge Garret, Darian and me! -I will! I will!

'Cause now that's three genuine people that are out the game.

So if you're genuine, go prove it by winning.

-Okay, well... -Bye.

- I truly am sorry. - Bye.

Okay, what just happened? What just happened?

I played this whole game,

and I've literally survived until the very end.

And I feel like that's something to still congratulate myself on.

Whoever does win the 100K,

they're supposed to win it, for whatever reason, and that's okay.

I'm okay with that.

While Jadejha comes to terms with being blocked,

everyone gets ready for bed for the last time.

This has probably been my most emotional day.

And the final five are in a very reflective, calm mood.

- Yeah! Make it rain! - Bro!

With Tierra surviving the biggest blocking of the season,

she is gonna sleep like a baby.

Ooh! Phillow. I can't sleep without Phillow.

Now it's down to five, and we have a 25%...

- Twenty. - No...

Now we have a 20% chance to win $100,000.

I can't help but wonder

who the heck won the influencer,

and who the heck got blocked?

I do feel bad for having to block Jadejha,

but to be honest,

I don't feel that bad.

I don't know who the secret super influencer was,

but whoever you were, thank you.

There were so many question marks, but guess what's not a question mark?

Gianna and us made it.

We made it to the finale!

This means so much for Tierra to survive this blocking.

This means she has a fighting chance at winning the whole thing.

It's been a wild ride,

but I love every second of it.

-We got one more stop. -Pleasure playing with you.

Damn straight!

-Couldn't do it without each other. -Not without you either.

I'm too excited to sleep, Circle, but I'm gonna try.

- Goodnight, Circle! - Goodnight, Circle. Much love.

For the last time, goodnight y'all!

Another day, and the players are waking up and screaming,

"Circle, baby, don't hurt me no more."

And I got news. We ain't gonna, 'cause today is the finale, and tonight,

one of our players will walk away with $100,000.

Good morning, Circle.

I don't believe that we keep having the chance to say, "Good morning, Circle."

I thought we would've hit the road last night.

I have no idea who was blocked last night,

and that is scary.

All I know is, whoever the secret super influencer was,

thank you for keeping us in at least another night.

We both really do appreciate that.

Keepin' our dreams of winning $100,000 alive.

Today, my stomach is flipped upside down,

sideways, and every which way.

Ugh. I gotta keep it together.

I feel nervous, and I feel like we do still have work to do,

because we have our final ratings today.

I need to make sure that other people are going to rate me first

and make sure nobody knows that I was the secret super influencer,

so nobody thinks that I'm a threat.

Everyone wants to win,

and I wish I could say I hope, you know, everybody wins,

but I don't.

I hope I win.

All I know is Jadejha is definitely not winning.

And it's about time the rest of the players find out

who the secret super influencer has blocked.

"Alert!"

Oh snap!

- Oh shit! - Oh shit!

What?!

- Oh my gosh! - Oh, Jadejha!

They blocked Jadejha?

Oh my God, Jadejha's gone!

This is crazy.

It's a good thing my coffee wasn't in my mouth.

Would've spit it across the room.

And there's only five of us.

Kevin the Perm skates by again.

Those curls are still poppin' in that thing, baby!

It feels so good to see Tierra still up there!

So who was the secret super influencer?

I've lied to a lot of people,

so the fact that I'm still here is mind-blowing.

Just so you know, Jadejha, we never lost that feelings for you,

and we did hope to cross that finish line together,

and I'm sorry.

It's you and I versus the world, Circle.

Come on. Let's do this.

Hey, K Fern, before you go off riding in the sunset,

you know what's coming.

"The newsfeed has been updated."

The newsfeed is gonna give us some tea, and that's what we need. Cup is ready.

Circle, take me to my newsfeed.
