We're back, Escaping Reality fam!! After a brief Summer hiatus, we're here with another episode in our usual format, covering a fan-favorite & relatively new reality competition show: The Circle! 

This week we're diving into Season 1 of the US version of the Netflix hit series & talking all about what the point of the competition is, how it reflects the real-world in it's social-media social experiment, and tbh how we would suggest improving it a bit. 

All our segments are back, so were taking some listener questions in Fans Have Spoken & of course, giving a heaping helping of vibe checks. Plus, we're chatting through the players we loved, the things we wished they had done, and the "challenges" that went nowhere! 

If you're looking for a specific segment, here's a break down:

  • Intro & Life Updates (0:25 - 4:32)
  • Initial Thoughts (4:32 - 14:14)
  • Overall feels & the show's concept (14:14 - 23:37)
  • The challenges aka the activities aka the games (23:37 - 26:38)
  • Gameplay & is there any? (26:38 - 38:47)
  • Honorable Mention (38:47 - 44:38)
  • Fans Have Spoken (44:38 - 48:03)
