07x02 - It's MY Party...

[bunniefuu]

[calm music playing]

[Buteau] Jojo and Nicky, aka Gianna,

are wondering if they're the first player
to activate disruptor mode.

They're also probably wondering
what disruptor mode is.

[Jojo] Oh my God.

Bro...

[Buteau] And up in the Hangout,

influencers Heather, aka Andy,
and Savannah are deciding

who to hand the first Circle blocking to.

We're down to two, Jadejha and Gianna.

Message, "Jadejha caught my eye
from the get-go."

"I really think
she earned her spot in the top three."

"It might tarnish our reputations
as influencers if we eliminate her."

Savannah! Oh my God. I like you a lot more
than I did an hour ago.

Circle, message, "Savannah,
I couldn't have said it better."

-"Let's talk about Gianna." Send.
-What if he's had a chat with Gianna?

What if he wants to get to know her
like I wanna get to know Kevin?

Circle, message,
"I think Gianna is a beautiful girl."

"However, I haven't had any chance
to get to know her,

and she's not stuck out to me in any way."

"Somebody's got to go. Crying emoji."

-I agree.
-She was last place. What does she expect?

Message, "Savannah,
you took the words right out of my mouth."

"I love an espresso martini
as much as the next guy,

but I agree with you 100%."

Message, "Yes."

"Pleasure doing business
with you, Blondie." Circle, send.

[Heather] Okay, that's gonna be a thing
moving forward now.

We gotta keep either the Blondie
or the King, Queen.

Message, "Pleasure is all mine."

[Savannah] "I'll let you sit pretty
on your throne while I deliver the news."

-What a gentleman! Okay, King, pop off.
-That makes Savannah feel secure.

I know a 22-year-old blonde girl
wants to feel secure.

That was me four years ago.
She can rest assured that Andy's got her.

[sighs] Wow.

[Buteau] Savannah is serving up
laid-back queen,

but the others, ooh,
they about to receive a royal surprise.

[alarm blares]

-Oh snap, "Alert!"
-[all] "Alert!"

-[all] "Alert!"
-[Darian] Oh my God! Oh goodness!

-[laughing] "Alert!"
-[Deb] This is it.

-[Jojo] Are you sh1tting me?
-[Nicky] Yeah. This is crazy, bro. Crazy.

[Darian] Oh my goodness.

[both] "The influencers
have made their decision."

I still cannot believe
someone is going home so soon.

I bet they're all sh1tting their pants
right now. I would be.

Now my heart is in my kneecaps.

Take me to the Circle Chat.

I could be packing my bags.

It's the moment of truth.

Circle, message,

"This isn't easy..."

Oh my God, Andy's typing! Oh sh*t!

[Kevin] Oh gosh. Andy,
please pull through for me, homie.

Oh, Andy's typing.

[Heather] "...we hate to block someone
on the first day,

but we had to come to a decision.
Single tear emoji."

I can't look. Okay.

"The reason we've decided
to block this player

is that Savannah and I both agreed

that they haven't stuck out
in any of the chats or in the game."

"Unfortunately,

neither of us feels like there's enough
to trust them moving forward."

Send.

Was there not enough?
Did I not do enough? What more could I do?

Oh my God.

Hell yeah, I stuck out.
I stuck out by my damn self in the game.

I stuck out in the chat.

Okay, where we going, Andy?
Where we going, Andy?

[Heather] Message,

"The player we've decided to block is..."

[Jadejha whimpering]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Jadejha] Ooh.

Get the hell out of here, bro.

Nah. Nah.

You gotta be
frickin' sh1tting me right now, bro.

[screaming] Ooh! Gianna! I knew it!

It's not Rachel!

But it's Gianna.

But it's not me!

[screaming]

Sorry, Gianna.

Bye-bye, Gianna, but I'm staying.

-[exclaiming]
-[alarm blares]

-[Darian] Oh my God!
-[all] "Alert!"

-[Kevin] Again? No. Wait.
-"Alert!"

[Nicky sighs]

Circle, you gotta chill out right now.

What is it now?

-[electronic warble]
-[TV dings]

[Heather] I'm sorry,
"activate disruptor mode"?

-I don't know what this is.
-Who the hell knows?

"The disruptor is..."

[Heather] What is this?

Who is it?

This is crazy. What is this?

[TV whirs]

What?

Don't.

[scoffs]

[Jojo] Holy sh*t.

What does that mean?

I mean...

[Savannah] Is this good? Is this bad?

What is the reward?

[sighing] Oh my God.

Come on, come on, come...

[Savannah] "The disruptor is immune
from tonight's blocking."

[gasping]

No. No. No.

No.

-Yeah! f*ck yeah! Oh yeah!
-Yeah!

Oh my God, my girl.

Oh my gosh.

What?!

-Yeah!
-Yes!

Oh wow. Oh, that's so good.

"No one will be blocked tonight."
This is crazy.

Gianna, of course, of-freaking-course.
This is all gonna come bite me in the a*s.

Does that mean nobody goes home tonight?

[Buteau] Bingo.

[both] We live to see another day!

-That's why we disrupted!
-We live to see another day!

You lucky son of a g*n, Gianna.

[Savannah] This is so awkward.

So now she's gonna hate us.

So she became the disruptor,
and it actually benefited her.

Isn't that something? Mm.

-What could you do, Andy? Nothing.
-Come on, baby.

You got nothing in court.
You got nothing in The Circle.

And you got no authority
to block us tonight!

Now we're definitely not looking good.
All eyes are on Andy now.

Now everyone's gonna wanna be
the disruptor,

because they've seen what happens.

For Gianna, it saved her freaking butt.

Gianna is gonna be gunning
for Savannah and Andy.

Okay, so Gianna stays.

I look like the bad guy.

Sick.

Okay, disruption mode,
so I see what you're capable of.

But I just know for a fact
it's not gonna always be that sweet.

-We did what we had to do to survive.
-Survived the day.

Tomorrow, maybe we could be
the influencers,

and if we get that chance,
Andy and Savannah, I guarantee...

-Are done. Youse are clipped.
-They're done.

I'm literally getting a pimple,
and I think it's just from this.

[Buteau] While Savannah thinks
about popping that pimple,

Gianna's popping off.
Don't these boys know it's bedtime?

Yo, seriously, bro,
like the fact that we're still here...

Nah, it's crazy. They wanted our a*s gone,
so I want their a*s gone. Simple.

-End story.
-They're done.

We'll see youse tomorrow,
Andy and Savannah.

Get some quality shut-eye,
'cause tomorrow you're getting screwed.

[Buteau] Meanwhile, the rest
of the players are getting ready for bed.

And 26-year-old Rachel realizes
she needs a 54-year-old grown woman sleep.

It is hard being 26.
It is hard keeping up with these kids.

I need to rest up

so I can keep up with them tomorrow.

Come on, Sam.

Hasta mañana, buenas noches.

Good night, Circle.

[Buteau] Good night, everyone.
We still have a complete circle,

but for how long?

["The Look" by Roxette playing]

♪ Walking like a man

♪ She's a juvenile scam

She's got the look... ♪

[Buteau] It's our first morning
in The Circle,

which means it's time for
one of my most favorite Circle traditions,

split-screen wake up greeting, y'all.

[all] Good morning, Circle.

Coffee's brewing.
It's time to get it started.

No talk until coffee is in my system.

[Savannah kissing]

Circle. Last night, girl,
you was dragging us through the mud.

Crazy surprises on day freaking one.

I think we are the first people ever,
in one day, to get rated last, blocked...

-Still somehow be here.
-...and still be here, so...

This is the most wild thing
I've ever seen in Circle history.

Ugh, Gianna.
This is something we had to do.

Anyone would've done what we had to do.

Put it behind us
and move forward, question mark?

[Jojo] We take over today.

Mission Get Rid of Andy and Savannah.

Today is gonna bring a lot of, "Sorry."

"This is what happened.
Deal with it. Let's move on."

My game plan today
is gonna be to talk to Kevin for sure.

-Get my little Circle bae going.
-[Kevin sighs]

[Savannah] I just keep staring
at his beautiful face,

and I need to get on that.

'Cause, look, our profile pictures...
We just look good together.

I wanna connect with influencer Savannah.

She's got a dog,
which I can connect right away with.

We're similar ages,
and she's just a baddie.

She's just a baddie, bro.

[chill music playing]

[Buteau] After trying
to block her last night,

Andy is hoping
he could smooth things over with Gianna.

Wanna know if it was a good idea
to block us?

We're all about second chances
if you give us a first!

[Buteau] Ooh, someone took their fish oil
this morning. Good luck, Andy.

[Heather] Circle, take me
to a private chat with Gianna.

[TV dings]

-"Andy has invited you to a private..."
-Andy?

-Are you kidding me?
-Are you actually sh1tting me?

-[Nicky] Andy, guess you wanna apologize?
-He's gonna try to save his own a*s.

Gianna must be having
some thoughts about this chat

'cause I'm sure she's got the "ding",

"Andy wants to start a private chat,"
and she's over there like... [exclaiming].

-Swear to God, if you say some slick sh*t...
-I'm coming over there.

There's a shitstorm raining down upon you.

Circle, take us
to the private chat with Andy.

[TV dings]

Circle, message,

"Good morning, Gianna! Exclamation point."

"Last night was crazier
than any gig I've ever played,

and I certainly didn't expect
to be in a position of power."

"I wanted to explain how Savannah
and I ended up at the decision we made."

"I'm sure you're a little upset."
And then "slanty guy, yikes emoji."

Send.

"I'm sure you're a little upset"?
More like a lot upset!

I don't like that message.

Hold on. He wants to explain how him
and Savannah ended up at the decision.

What is he possibly gonna explain?

He's either to give us ammunition
we could use for the rest of the game,

or he could just be telling us
some bullshit to throw us off even more...

-Mm.
-...and make it like we drop our guard,

we let Andy in,
and he still ranks us seventh again.

Circle, message, "Hey, Andy, comma,
I really appreciate you reaching out."

"Because last night I was shocked
and completely thrown off guard

when you two chose to block me. Period."

"So yes, comma,
I would love an explanation."

Circle, send message.

[vocalizing] Oh, she's mad.

Comple... You couldn't have been
completely thrown off guard,

because you were ranked last.

You're just pissed. Message,

"We started off by saving one player each.
We discussed the remaining players."

"Then we made the decision that we felt
would ruffle the fewest feathers."

Send message.

[Nicky] On day one, if you're
an influencer, it's such a hard decision.

You don't know anybody.
They went the safe route

and probably just blocked the person
who was rated least.

However, us showing the more sympathetic,
genuine side to repair this relationship,

not only could it make Andy
a potential ally,

but it could get us boosted in his ratings
where we could become an influencer.

Message, "It's still so early
in this game. Period."

"I understand being in a position
of power on day one can be overwhelming,

knowing you have to block somebody
you didn't get to know yet." Send message.

"I believe in second chances, comma,
I just hope you give me my first chance."

"Heart emoji, #ForgiveAndForget."

Send message.

[Jojo] Love it. Love it.

This is good. Aw, Gianna!

Message, "Thank you so much
for understanding. Metal heart emoji."

"I apologize for putting you
in that position."

"I really hope we can
move forward knowing the slate is clean."

"#YouveGotAFriendInMe. Rock hands emoji."

Send message.

Aw. That was nice.

I mean, she could very well be
over there like, "Eff this, eff that."

"Andy's a piece of sh*t,"
but maybe she just wanted to kinda, like,

have the same mentality
I had coming into this chat

of just keeping it clean, keeping it easy.

No bad blood yet.

I'm gonna be honest here. I like
that conversation we just had with Andy.

-I do. I like that a lot.
-Thing is, I still don't trust his a*s.

-No.
-Period.

[chill music ends]

[Buteau] Okay, bridge building at the gym.

I am here for that, honey.

And that's not the only relationship
being worked on today in really fun pants.

You know, this would be a nice opportunity
to just kind of talk to Miss Jadejha.

See if she feeling
my little Southern charm.

And then she fine as hell,
just being honest, so...

Circle, invite Jadejha to a private chat.

[TV dings]

"Darian has invited you
to a private chat."

Shut up. He's gonna propose.

In my head, we're married already.

He just got to say all the right things,
and I'mma be sold.

Open private chat with Darian.

Look at how good our pictures look
right next to each other.

Circle, message, "Hey there, beautiful."

[Jadejha] Oh sh*t. He's typing already.

Now I'm nervous.

He makes me nervous. [giggling]

"Been looking forward to talking to you.
I could definitely use a drink or two,

or three after a night like last night.
How are you feeling?"

Aw, he called me beautiful.

Thanks.

I'm just looking at her smile.
Like she's just looking into my soul.

[Jadejha] Ok, so now I need to figure out

how I want to convince this man
to marry me.

I gotta give him a little oomph.
A little oomph.

Message,

"Darian, honey."

"Heart-eyes emoji."

"You reaching out just made my day."

"Last night had me wanting to cry
and slide down the wall."

"#MissCircleDidNotComeToPlay." [laughing]

'Cause you know
when your heart get broken,

and you see the people eating ice cream
and sliding down the wall crying

and they're like... [fake crying].

"It's so sad."

Message, "Well, I'm glad
to have made your day."

"Kissy face."

[screaming]

[inhales]

"If you ever need a shoulder to lean on,
baby girl, you can lean on mine anytime."

"Winky face."

Oh!

She can lean on my shoulder, my chest.

She can lean on...
She can lean on my whole body.

It's getting hot in here.

I don't even need this thing anymore.

Jesus.

I do take this man to be my husband.

Message, "So what I'm reading is

you're my knight in shining armor."

"Crown emoji, winky-face emoji."

Yes, ma'am, I am! I sure is.

Circle, message, "Absolutely!
I'm your knight in shining armor,

your Prince Charming,
and I want you to be my queen."

"Wink emoji, kissing-face emoji."

"#SouthernRoyalty." With the crown.

Yes! Yes! Ooh! Yes! Yes! [grunts]

"#SouthernRoyalty"?

[sighs] Message, "You've been my king."

"I've just been waiting on you
to say the words."

"Heart-eyes emoji."

"#LongLiveTheKingAndQueen."

[Darian] "This was everything
I needed and more."

"Have a tequila sunrise on me."

Let's go, baby.

Oh, that's good.

The moment I seen Darian,

I was like, "That's the one I want."

We are officially locked in.
It don't get no better than that.

[Buteau] Said with only the confidence
a man wearing beige floral print trousers

can pull off.

And speaking of confidence,

Savannah is glowing up,
ready for a chat with her crush K Fern.

Okay. I am looking great for Mr. Kevin.

I need this chat so bad.

God, my hands are sweating.
Why am I nervous?

I literally feel like a middle schooler,
like, with a crush.

I really need this to go my way,

because Kevin is the only one
that I really just think is so cute.

Mom, you'd be proud of me.

I'm out here
in The Circle doing my own laundry,

but don't be expecting this
when I come home for Christmas

and Thanksgiving and stuff like that.

Circle, start a private chat with Kevin.

[TV dings]

Savannah has invited your boy to a chat?

[exhales]

Wow, oh wow, Savannah,

making the kid blush over here.

This is exactly what I was hoping for.

Circle, take me
to private chat with Savannah.

He is, by far,
the cutest one here. [gasps]

Oh my God.

Okay, message,

"Hey, babe!"

"Crazy that you're a lifeguard
because, ironically, I can't swim."

"Would you save me and my dog
from the frozen lake?"

"#YouSaveMe. #IllSaveYou."

"Heart emoji."

[exhales] Savannah already
calling me "babe"?

Wow, okay. This...
This went zero to a hundred real quick.

Uh, I'm not mad about it.

Circle, message,

"I would save you
and your dog any day of the year."

"I see you're a dog mom.
Is there a dog father in the picture?"

Kevin! We are on the same wavelength!

This is perfect.

Message,

"Funny you asked,

he's actually looking for
a #CircleStepDaddy."

"Smirky face."

[Kevin] "Step daddy"?

Circle, message, "Well, look no further."

"Your Circle Puppy Step Dad is here.
Waving-hand emoji."

[Savannah] "What's my Step Pup's name?"

[clapping] "#CutestDogEver."

[screaming]

Samson, you have a Circle step daddy!

This is the best thing ever.

Okay. Circle, message,

"Your new Step Pup's name is Samson,

named after the strongest man
in the Bible."

"#4PoundBeast."

This plays straight into my strategy.
I gotta become that dog father.

Circle, message,

"Just know
that your #PuppyStepPops has your back!"

"Exclamation point."

[kissing noise]

"Kissy-face emoji."

Send message.

Oh my gosh. Am I really
using a kissy-face emoji already?

Oh, I am, bro.

What the heck has The Circle done to me?

Message,

"TTYL. Heart."

"So excited for #Kevannah."

"Kissy-face emoji."

We already got a conjoined name?

Bro, this is moving quick.

I'm feeling good, man.

#Kevannah.

[Savannah] Samson,

look at your new Circle step daddy.

Look, that's Mommy's new man.

[Buteau] If only she knew
he was currently wearing Crocs.

And you know what The Circle likes to do

just when people
are getting comfortable, right?

[tense music playing]

[Buteau] You guessed it.
One more player has entered The Circle.

[gasping]

Mommy's home!

So freaking cute! So cute and so calming.

I'm gonna change that vibe real quick.

My name is Madelyn. I'm 25.

I'm from Franklin, Georgia.

By day, I'm an educational staffer.

And this is where the magic happens. Yes!

And by night, I'm an OnlyFans model.

I'm coming in as Madelyn.

I'm coming in
as myself through and through.

Like, I'm not making up anything.

I've always done really well in school.

Graduated college with a 3.5.

I'm not just another pretty face,

but I can also use
that pretty face as an advantage.

I'm trying to come off, like,
fun and confident and approachable.

Circle, take me to my albums.

Circle, open the far right photo
at the bottom.

Yes, we love her.

Okay, relationship status.

I'm single. She's single.

My dating scene is not great.
I'm like a kid in a candy shop.

When it comes to boys, I'm like,

"Oh, I do have this boy right here,
but look at this boy. He's so cute too."

And that's terrible, but I go
to a therapist. I'm working on it, okay.

"#DownToGetDirty."

Lock my profile in, Circle.

[Buteau] What, you think
it's stopping there? Think again.

Come on, kitchen!
Fridge is stocked, and we're ready to eat.

My name is Garret. I'm 29,
and I live in West Hollywood, California.

Zojja, Xan, you gotta help me
through this.

My emotional support cats.

I'm a cat dad.
I have two cats, Zojja and Xanthippe.

I catfished as a straight man
until I was 21.

Not very well, I might add.

To this day, I find myself lowering
my voice whenever I meet somebody.

[deep voice] Hi, my name is Garret.
For what?

Says Garret. That's my name! That's me!

I'm coming into The Circle as myself
because I'm done catfishing.

I am unapologetically Garret,
and that's what you're gonna get.

Let's choose a profile picture.

Circle, take me to my albums.

My childhood was a little bit funky.

I was a military brat raised
in a conservative Christian household,

which wasn't the best for someone like me.

Circle, take me to my private photos.

Although I am a cat lady
through and through,

this picture was
actually for a charity photo sh**t

to get these puppies
and a bunch more adopted.

Circle, make this my profile picture.

[puppy barking softly]

"I'm a former circus freak
who enjoys video games, playing mermaids,

comma, twirling in the air, comma,

and debunking myths/fads
in the fitness space."

My strategy going into The Circle
is build genuine human connections,

but you better believe
I got some strategy behind my decisions.

I feel good about this profile.
[vocalizes]

Okay, look at her.

Looks I need ChapStick in that picture.
That's what it looks like.

[laughs]

[chill music playing]

[Buteau] It's time
to shake it up a little bit,

because our players have
too much time on their hands,

and I'm getting a little worried.

Adorable!

[Buteau] Kevin's playing a fake game
within a real one.

[Kevin screaming]

[puffing]

[Buteau] Oh hell. This is the straw
that broke the camel toe.

[Savannah] I wonder
if I can walk like this.

[Buteau] Leisure time is over, people,

and it's time for our OGs
to play a little game.

[TV whirs]

Whoa!

[all] "Throwback Thirsty"?

-It's making me want a beer.
-Yeah, damn right.

Circle, open #ThrowbackThirsty.

[Buteau] In Throwback Thirsty, our players
have to pick their steamiest photo

and post it in the Circle Chat.

I wanna see Kevin's hairy a*s
on my Circle screen.

"Throwback."

So go back, and you were thirsty.

"Thirsty" is... What does "thirsty" mean?

[Buteau] Once posted,

the other players will respond
with emojis to show how thirsty they are.

I'm gonna send, like,


[Buteau] Okay, Savannah came to play.

I'm ready for this, Circle.

[Buteau] And in the great tradition
of posting thirsty pictures online,

they'll be viewed secretly by strangers,
our two new players.

Circle, take me to my private albums.

I know I have some photos
that will make the boys thirsty.

Circle, take me to the top right photo.

That bottom right one is very, like,

mmm, smolder.

Oh, there it is.

Thirst trap right there.

I... I... I think this gonna
quench the thirst of Queen Jadejha.

We're just gonna do it. Okay?

So what if it makes me not be

the super sweet innocent,

you know, girl next door.

Circle, let's lock this in.

-Lock this in.
-Circle, lock in this image.

Samson, you are way too young
to see these. Go back to sleep.

You're not allowed to see this.
Close your eyes.

[Buteau] And just to make sure
they don't get too thirsty,

The Circle has got some refreshments.

I better move my Bible.

[Buteau] Oh, it's a bit late
for that, honey.

[Garret] I've literally put
so many worse things in my mouth, like...

This still counts
as just one drink, right?

[Buteau] Jadejha,
kick this thing off for us.

"Jadejha, post your photo"?

Wait a minute.

I wasn't trying
to be the first one out the gate.

-[TV dings]
-[Darian exclaiming]

Oh sh*t. Damn!

Wow!

She is so slay!

I want, "Heart eyes.
Heart eyes, heart eyes."

And send.

[shouting] Oh, Savannah!

"Heart eyes. Heart eyes."

Message, "Four heart-eye emojis,

four fire emojis."

"Heart eyes. Heart eyes."

"Four fire emojis."

Is there anything wrong with her?

"Heart eyes. Heart eyes. Heart eyes,"
because I love it.

And then add a little fire emoji.
Circle, send message.

[Buteau] I have a feeling
we're about to hear something very loud.

[Jadejha shouting, laughing]

Well, you can clearly tell
Darian's in love with Jadejha.

-[Nicky] Yeah.
-[Darian] Oh!

[Madelyn] Ten out of ten.

I love her. We're gonna be friends.

She knows how good she looks.

[Buteau] Darian, you up.

Ooh-wee!

Here you go, Circle.

-[TV dings]
-[Jadejha screams]

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh.

[vocalizing]

-Pretty jacked up. He's definitely yoked.
-Definitely likes to lift.

Eight fire emojis.

[Darian] Okay, Savannah.

Message, "Two heart-eye emojis,
five fire emojis."

I did not understand the assignment.

I need like 20 heart-eye emojis.

And, like, three fire emojis,
just 'cause I'm feeling spicy. Send.

Oh, come on.
There we go. There go my queen.

There go Queen Jadejha coming through.
Mm. I know she liked what she see.

So Jadejha and Darian
got something going on.

[Buteau] Yeah, K Fern.
Gold star for you, buddy. You did it!

You're up, Rachel.

I wanna see less babysitter vibes

and more, like, something a little spicy.

[Buteau] Come on, Rachel.
We're ready for your episode of Hot Ones.

I don't think this is the right photo.

You're a thirst trap, Rachel.

I just didn't do a good job.

Rachel! They said thirst trap.

I wouldn't say that this is, like, sexy.

This is low-key a red flag.

Is Rachel a catfish?

Maybe they think she's modest.

[Nicky] She's not showing any body.
She's not revealing.

Maybe she's insecure about her body.
She looks like a beautiful girl.

I'm gonna give her, like,
four fire emojis. Add one more for fun.

"Four fire emojis

and three heart-eye emojis."

"One heart-eye emoji, six fire emojis.
One more heart-eye emoji."

-Rachel might be the mama of the group.
-Thirsty 'cause you're drinking?

With half your face covered?

Oh, I'm a moron.

[Buteau] Let's try more thirst, please.

What does Gianna got? I hope it's not
another frickin' duckface photo.

This is perfect timing for us.

Gianna has been giving me
some suspect vibes. So I'm sure that...

Damn!

[Savannah] Oh, okay...

Oh, she got real naughty.

Phil, turn around.

Okay, I am thirsty.

[Buteau] You ain't the only one.

I'm hoping for a shitload of emojis.

Circle, send ten fire emojis

and five heart-eye emojis.

-[Jojo] Wow. Savannah. Wow.
-[Nicky] Yeah, Savannah. Okay.

But Savannah tried
to block her last night.

I'm really hoping that this will
kind of make her like me a little more.

I'm not falling head over heels
for one photo, for crying out loud.

I'm smarter than that.

[Jojo] Kevin, are you sh1tting me?

Wow, Kevin.

I really thought
that he was gonna go overboard.

Kevin, I love your response!
That makes me feel good.

I think I have a crush on Gianna.

Come on, dominatrix cowgirl.

[Buteau] My favorite Marvel superhero.
K Fern, it's your time to shine.

Sam, this is your Circle step daddy
coming on the screen!

[screaming] Kevin!

I feel like you could be my baby brother.
We're gonna give you a little sip-sip.

I don't know. I would've expected him
in his lifeguard stuff.

You gotta teach me
how to swim and how to surf.

[Savannah] I feel like I do need to be
one of the first ones to respond.

Message, "Fifteen fire emojis

and ten heart-eye emojis."

Mwah! Thank you, Savannah.

I am parched!

[Buteau] She's bringing
the bottomless brunch vibes.

I can't get enough.

[Buteau] Don't get too much
'cause you still have to upload yours.

I am counting on Savannah
bringing the energy.

Circle, post my #ThirstyThursday photo.

Please like it.

She looks gorgeous!

Damn!

-g*dd*mn!
-[laughs] Could've figured that one.

That's what I was expecting.

Yes!

[Heather] What?

[Buteau] Ooh, if magazines were still
a thing, she'd be on the cover.

This could, like, make
or break some people's opinions on me.

Message,

"Ten heart-eye emojis, ten fire emojis."

Because, girl, you fine and you hot.

[Savannah screaming] Jadejha!

Circle, send message.

[Savannah screaming] Oh yeah! Kevin!

Come on, baby!

And he only gave Gianna,
like, five or six.

Thank you, boo. Thank you.

[Buteau] Okay, Andy, you're up.

Man, my photo isn't as sexy
as the rest of these.

I feel like my photo's
in line with Rachel's.

Grandpa Andy, drop that photo, bro.

Well, hello, Andy.

-Pretty gangsta picture.
-"Gimme six fire emojis."

[Heather] This isn't awful. I mean,

I'm hoping this, like, brings us down
a few notches, which is what we want.

[Madelyn] Someone get me a funnel

'cause I gotta drink
this entire drink for you, Andy.

Cheers.

[Buteau] Careful, new girl.
You do all that,

and you might end up doing this on TV.

[Heather burps]

What a game!

We got to see everybody's saucy pics.

[Buteau] K Fern, you haven't
seen everybody's. Circle, do your thing.

[Kevin] "Garret"?

What the hell?!

Who the hell is Garret?

What is this?

We got somebody else in The Circle?

Circle, open Garret's profile.

Okay. Okay, Garret. 29.

So he's not too old.

[Jadejha] This is
the fakest sh*t I've ever seen.

Another person that we can add
to the fellas squad.

-I don't know how I feel about Garret.
-[Buteau] You will in a minute, Gianna.

Okay, Circle.
Let me show 'em how it's done.

[screaming] Oh my God, Garret!

Whoa, the Speedo!

What? What?

[chuckles] That's a bold entry
into The Circle.

Wait a minute, that's too much too soon,
Garret. Can we get an introduction?

"Hi, my name is Garret."

I'm here. [laughing]

[Deb] That is not something
I... I should be looking at.

No. No. It feels wrong.

Circle, message, "Five fire emojis

and four heart-eye emojis."

-Send message.
-Okay, girlies are coming in hot.

Savannah, chill.
You haven't even met the guy.

Message, "Four fire emojis." Send.

[Buteau] Things are about to get
a hell of a lot more fire emoji.

[all] What?!

-[Darian] Whoa!
-[Heather] What?

Where the heck
are these people coming from?

-Another new person?
-That means there's nine of us now.

First, there was Garret.
Now there's Madelyn?

Circle, please take me
to Madelyn's profile.

Oh sh**t!

"Rambunctious,

genuine, and ditzy."

"Educational staffer and OnlyFans."

I feel like those things, like,
absolutely contradict each other.

Small town country girl
at heart, loves yoga and tattoos."

That's literally Andy!
That's literally Andy in real life!

Oh my God, he gets tattooed once a week,
and he does yoga like five times a day.

[Kevin] "Angel by day, devil by night."

"#DownToGetDirty."

Straight up.

I have a feeling she might try
to go after Kevin though.

Circle, submit this photo as my picture.

Ooh!

Hello.

-There he goes, and there he goes again.
-[growling] You're hot!

I need her on my team,
so I'm gonna be the first to send it.

I'm gonna do, like, ten heart-eye emojis

and six fire emojis.

Circle, send message.

Savannah!

[Deb] Do... five fires

and five heart-eye emojis.

Yes! The girlies are loving me right now.

I think Gianna would
really think she's gorgeous,

and I think Gianna would rate her
with a very, very nice rating.

I'm feeling good right now.
What do the boys have to say about me?

It would be a disservice to myself
if I didn't see what Madelyn is about.

I wonder if Kevin's gonna, like,
try to make me jealous.

You want me, Kevin.

Okay, that's not that bad.

As long as he gave me the most,
I'm not worried.

The one I'm most excited to see is Andy.

If tattooed band dudes are her type,
maybe I can finally flirt as Andy.

I don't know. She looks really cute.
She does look nice and approachable.

If Andy gives me a lot of emojis,
he's my Circle husband.

[screaming] Andy!

There might be something
that can happen here.

[Madelyn] ♪ Andy is my Circle husband! ♪

♪ I got a boyfriend! ♪

She's doable, strategy-wise.

It would make sense
for Andy to talk to Madelyn.

Darian's got Jadejha.

Kevin's just frat-boying around
on the beach.

I still have my thing going on
with Savannah,

but no one ever said
you couldn't have two things going.

[Buteau] Um, I think
a lot of people do, Kevin.

[relaxed music playing]

[Buteau] That game earlier was hot,

and it left a lot of things
up in the air, honey. Nuts.

Andy's feet.

[Heather laughs]

-Oh, there's the burn starting to kick in.
-[Buteau] K Fern's stool.

I hate to break up this totally normal,
not like a prison workout at all,

but I think
the Circle's about to drop something.

[alarm blares]

[all reacting]

[all] "Alert!"

[Madelyn] "Alert! Alert!" Yes.

Circle, I've been waiting for this.

"You're about to be given the chance
to activate disruptor mode"?

-What does that mean?
-No.

[Heather] So this is what Gianna had.

[Deb shouting] Not again!

[Heather moaning]

I cannot deal with that again.
That was traumatizing.

[Heather] "To activate disruptor mode,
you must say 'disrupt'"?

I didn't say it. That wasn't me saying it.

This is gambling. This is gambling.

"The first to activate it
becomes the disruptor."

Circle, you're stressing me out.

We are not disrupting.

Not taking that chance two nights in a row

and taking a risk
that might outweigh the reward.

We saw the good part
when it came to Gianna.

All I get is bad vibes.

Maybe it'll be good again.

[Madelyn] I'm new.

Do I want to be a disruptor?

-[Heather screams] "3."
-Are y'all counting down? Y'all... Ooh.

I don't know. Good, bad, good, bad...
I saw the good.

"Two"! This is so nerve-racking.

We don't know what this means.

It's probably not gonna be
the same thing Gianna got.

Oh God! We're at "one"!
Don't have much time.

Disrupting is good
because you sucked at that game today.

What do I do?

-God.
-Let's risk it for the biscuit.

[groaning]

[tense music playing]

-I'm not disrupting.
-Circle, we are not disrupting.

-Okay, no.
-I don't have enough reasons to do it.

-No!
-I don't know enough.

I'm not disrupting anything.

Disrupt. Circle, disrupt.

Disrupt! Disrupt!

Disrupt! Oh my God.

Come on. Come on.

-[Kevin] Dude...
-[Buteau] Three players wanted to disrupt...

[Darian] Am I the disruptor?

My heart is freaking racing right now.

[Buteau] ...but there can only be one.

-Circle, who did it first?
-Come on.

"You are not the disruptor."

Dang. [chuckling]

Okay, here it is!

[fake crying]

[Kevin] "You are the disruptor."

You know what?

The Circle is all about taking risks.

Maybe I... Maybe I dodged a b*llet.

[Kevin] "Your disruption is as follows."

I can't frickin' look.

"Tonight, there is a welcome party
for the two new players."

Okay, I'm intrigued.

"As the disruptor,
you're automatically invited."

Hey!

♪ I got the invite! ♪

Dang, sucks to suck, everybody else.

Don't have too much FOMO
out there, you know?

"You may invite two more guests
to the party."

Oh wow.

Two more guests.

This is a big decision.

So who is joining me, Madelyn, and Garret

to the newcomer fiesta?

Grandpa Andy and I have been boys.

This dude's a freakin' rock star too.
Darian, another one of the fellas.

Savannah, the mother of my step dog.

But if I try to chat it up with Madelyn,

then that's just gonna be a no-go
with Savannah there.

I, truthfully, don't have
any reason to bring Gianna. Um, I lied.

I did see that picture
that she used in today's game earlier,

and that... that gave me
a reason or two to invite her.

[Buteau] Remember, no matter
how hard things get in life,

you'll never be as conflicted
as a 23-year-old bro

deciding which super-hot girl
to invite to his Circle party.

[funky music playing]

♪ Peeling the cucumber ♪

[Nicky] Might not see this one coming.
Could be someone we didn't expect.

[alarm blares]

-[all] "Alert!"
-[Darian] Oh!

[Deb] "Alert!"

I could've hurt myself!

Oh man!

[Heather] "Tonight,
the disruptor is hosting..."

-"...a welcome party for the new players."
-"...for the new players." Yay!

Okay.

I can't believe I just got here,
and I'm already being invited to a party.

Well, la-di-da.

So whoever the disruptor is,

is gonna have probably an alliance now
with the two new players, off the rip.

You gotta be sh1tting me.

Only two other players have been invited
by the disruptor. Oh wow.

So, in total,

five people are having this welcome party.

And you know
that I only host bangers, man.

This is gonna tell me who's friends,
who's made connections so far.

Hopefully, I can wiggle on in.

Who is in the party?

"The four players not invited
will be buffered for the evening."

[angrily] Fine!

Does that mean
we're not gonna be able to talk?

I kind of like this whole
position of power type of thing.

I can get used to this.

I have to meet these new players.

I need to go to this party.

"The disruptor is Kevin"!

Okay!

[screaming] Kevin!

[exclaiming]

I'm getting exposed like that?!

Who you gonna invite to the party, Kevin?

Oh, we're not getting invited.
This is zero chance.

I feel like
Kevin would've invited Savannah and I.

Kevin, if you don't invite me,

I'm gonna be so mad.

He's definitely bringing Savannah.

Circle, do you know
how to keep a frickin' secret?

-"The guestlist is"? "The guestlist is"?
-I really wanna be on this guestlist!

"Kevin." We've got that much.
Thank you, Circle.

-"Garret." Because he's new.
-Thank you. I'm so excited.

[Madelyn] "Madelyn."

Yes!

I actually might pee a little bit
because I'm nervous.

[muffled groan]

[all] "Darian."

Yay!

[screaming] Let's go! Let's go!

Darian, you better be hitting the dougie
right now, bro.

[Darian grunting]

[mocking] We want
the funny guy at the party.

That's good. 'Cause me and Darian,
that's my man. Okay?

You can't let the kingdom fall.

[whimpering]

-"And..."
-"And..."

Oh, that looks like "Andy."
It says "and." Just put a Y there.

Oh, this is gonna
throw everybody for a loop.

[all] "Gianna"!

[all] Whoa! Let's f*cking go!

Are you kidding me?

My girl.

Okay. Wow!

-What? What? What? What? What?
-Let's go, baby! Let's go, baby!

[screaming silently]

Alliance broken.

There's strategy behind this.

Everything is smooth with us.

Screw you, Kevin.

Screw you.

-[electronic warble]
-[Heather gasps]

What is this?

[Savannah] Oh no!

It's buffering.

That is going to bother me.

[Jadejha] I'm really buffered.

That just gives me
more time to think. Whatever.

You know what's nice about being my age?
I used to have things buffering for hours.

That's right,
to download one picture in the '90s.

Sam, look at the TV.
It looks different, doesn't it?

That's 'cause we're left out of a party.

Seriously?

[Buteau] And you know the best part
of any party? The getting ready montage.

Hit it.

Let's see what we're rockin' with.

[Darian screaming, laughing]

We're looking sharp today!

I gotta be careful with this jacket.
If I dance a little too hard, it will rip.

You look beautiful.

I'm moving loosey-goosey in these pants.

My ba*ls are swinging in every direction.
You know what that means?

It is officially time...

to partay.

-[Garret] VIP!
-[Darian laughing, shouting]

It's lit!

[Madelyn cheering]

Cheers.

Let's go, Mr. VIP!

[Buteau] Meanwhile,
Rachel is really going through it.

[Deb sighing]

I thought this would make me feel
a little bit better.

I'm not feeling
as good as I thought I would.

I really didn't get invited to this party,
and I'm like, "Well, dang."

I'm voting everybody
at that party at the bottom of my list.

We don't need new players to party.

We just need our bowl of popcorn.

[Kevin] Oh, it's disco time!

-[rolling tongue, vocalizing]
-[funky music playing]

[Jojo grunting]

Dolphin. Dolphin. That's the dolphin.

All I know is, Darian still better be
my man after this party.

Yeah! Yeah!

[funky music continues]

Kevin messed up, and he's gonna get it.

♪ VIP, who could that be? ♪

♪ Oh, it me ♪

I'm not ranking him number one anymore.

I'm about to move him over
to my bad ratings.

[funky music ends]

[Buteau] Well, this is
a fun VIP Circle party.

Now it's time for a VIP Circle Chat.

[TV dings]

[all] "VIP party chat is now open."

Take me to the VIP party chat.

[Kevin] This is an ideal scenario

to kind of get the ball rolling
with Madelyn,

to let her know, "Hey, I see you, girl."

Circle, message,

"Madelyn, what dance moves
are you breaking out right now?"

"I'm a terrible dancer." [laughing]

So Kevin's immediately messaging Madelyn.
We knew that was his game.

Your boy's right here
to welcome you, Madelyn.

Circle, message,

"I'm currently breaking out
the shaky knees dance move

because I'm #Nervous
and #Excited for what's to come."

"Scared face emoji, mind blown emoji."

Circle, send message.

[Kevin] Message,

"Madelyn, no need
for the nervous, shaky knees dance!"

"Your host with the most is here
to welcome you with open arms."

Oh, he sent the wink emoji.

He wants me!

-Kevin.
-[Jojo] Kevin's sh**ting for it.

She's a beautiful girl. She could be
a potential great ally for us.

-However, she could be a big threat.
-Yeah.

I wanna match those vibes.
I immediately wanna jump in.

I want Kevin to know that, like,
I'm also here for a good time.

Okay, Circle, message,

"I'm sweating my t*ts off
from all that dancing,

and I look like the groom
at a g*y Smurf's wedding,

but I'm kind of here for it."

"Who's joining me on the dance floor?"

[laughing]

Okay, Garret is funny as hell.

I'm here for the party,

but I'm also here
to get the freaking nitty-gritty.

Message,

"On my way to the dance floor now."

"Grateful Garret and I were
fashionably late to the #CircleFam..."

[Garret] "What did we miss?"

"#SpillTheTea."

Madelyn!

Going right for the jugular.

Should we say something
about the emotional roller coaster

-that was yesterday?
-Yeah.

Message, "I was actually blocked
last night. Period. Praying hands emoji."

"#ThePartyContinues."

[Darian] Oh, she spilled the tea.

What?

How is she still here?

So Gianna's not popular.

She went from being an underdog
to, like, literally the next day in VIP.

So that's dope. I love that for her.

So is Gianna someone
that I wanna connect to?

Circle, message,
"You missed a crazy first day."

"We were introduced
to the power of disruptor..."

[Nicky] "...which Gianna was able to use
to avoid being blocked."

"#HappyShesStillHere.
Praying hands emoji."

-Thank you, Kevin.
-Thanks, Kev.

We didn't like you two hours ago.
Now we might like you again.

[Nicky] Yeah, I like you.

Circle, message, "Mind blown emoji."

"#ThePartysJustGettingStarted."

He seems like
a really, really nice and genuine kid.

He seems like somebody
we'd love to have on our side.

Unfortunately, all good things
must come to an end.

However, I also want
to ensure that they got my back

just as much as I claim to have theirs.

Circle, message,

"I'm so glad
you all enjoyed my VIP party."

"Big smile emoji. You are all VIPs to me..."

"...and I've got your back..."

[Madelyn] "...and I know
you all have got mine!"

Kevin, I love that you think that.

I really do.

So he basically said
whoever is in this chat right now,

if sh*t hits the fan,

if they're an influencer,
you should be safe.

If he means it, that's great.

Real talk. I got Kevin.

I feel the genuine vibes from Kevin,
and I'm glad we finally got to talk to him

and start the alliance
we've been waiting to have.

A very productive use
of the disruptor mode.

[Buteau] The VIPs might want
to call it a night,

but The Circle, she got other plans.

[alarm blares]

-[Darian] Oh!
-Oh sh*t, "Alert"?

-"Alert." My God.
-Oh snap.

[All] "Alert"?

Oh God, "Alert." Circle, again?

Nah, there's no shot, Circle.
You're playing with me.

Is their party finally over?
Are they done bopping around without us?

[Madelyn, Kevin] "Tomorrow, one player
will be blocked

from The Circle."

Circle, you're stressing me out.

We're gonna see a changing
of the guard in ratings,

and I think Jadejha, Andy,
and Savannah might feel this the most.

The new players are gonna like
the people they were at the party with.

Whoever get blocked tomorrow,
they going home.

[Heather] I'm not packing my sh*t back up.

I told Andy I would see him soon,
but not this soon.

[Savannah] All because of a stupid party
we didn't get invited to.

Samson, we cannot go home.
