Kyara Posted January 4, 2020 I watched the first episode and I’m on the fence. The gameplay is interesting, but the people are horrendous (except Shubham). I can’t decide if I should watch a second episode or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elizabethann Posted January 5, 2020 I read something about it. I'll probably give it a look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVorlon Posted January 5, 2020 I guess this type of show was inevitable. The contestants can.t see each other, and use social media to create profiles and text each other, with the goal of being the most popular. This highlights one of the aspects of Big Brother that I never liked in recent years, where the houseguests dwell on their popularity and how many new followers they're going to get.

knewb Posted January 11, 2020 I watched all 8 episodes of The Circle over the past 2 days. It's like a huge trainwreck. Could.not.stop.watching. One nice thing about them being isolated is we're not subjected to shmoopycakes constantly. It's edited so there's very little of them just sitting around killing time. I find I like almost all the players, but Shooby is definitely the most lovable. Really like Chris, Sammie, Joey and Bill too. I expected to hate Joey, but I find I really like him a lot. One of them (don't want to spoil it so I'll just say the one fond of tie-dye and cats) is horrible and I can't wait for them to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AVorlon Posted January 12, 2020 So you're saying its still not over after 8 episodes? I only watched the first one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted January 12, 2020 I hate that I, too, checked out "The Circle" and watched through all of the episodes. Even found myself a bit disappointed when I got to the end of the latest one and found I had to wait for the next one to be released. I'm going to hate when (if, really, but I'm convinced) we learn they're all actors and Shooby is being "schmoe'd". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knewb Posted January 13, 2020 HA! Copsister, however did you become so jaded? I hadn't even considered that, but now that you said it...yep! I hope not though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted January 16, 2020 Well, become jaded? Oh, what a sweet thing to say! That being said....I wasn't far from the actual ending, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knewb Posted January 19, 2020 I was happy overall, but think they should have given us a final three rather than final five. I would probably watch another season. I wish their casting director would give BB's some tips for how not to just cast douchebags and famewhores. With a few exceptions, these were quite likeable, non-douchy people.

CripesAlmighty Posted February 15, 2020 I agree with Knewb entirely about The Circle. I bet we even agree on the one who needs to disappear forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted March 11, 2020 Netflix released another "The Circle" season today.....if you speak Portuguese or don't mind subtitles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
copssister Posted May 18, 2020 Dammit - I refuse to believe we're not old enough to be losing Trading Spaces folks! Hopefully, he's painting farmhouse chic murals all over walls in the good place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted May 19, 2020 That news makes me sad. I got to see him in a Home Show once and he was so funny in person, exactly what you would expect. Warm and cuddly and loved meeting people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magpie Posted November 21, 2020 I didn't even know Wipeout was back in production. Wonder if they'll carry on with it now? Contestant Dies After Completing ‘Wipeout’ Obstacle Course Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGryn Posted November 24, 2020 I don't see how they can. I read that the other day and yeah....no. It is amazing no one died before this, to be honest. I think I'll just go back to watching MXC on reruns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
