The Circle on RHAP: Recaps of Netflix's US Version of "The Circle" episodes

  • The Circle UK | Season 3 Week 1 Recap
    The Circle UK | Season 3 Week 1 Recap

    Last winter, The Circle dropped on Netflix and it was an instant success. Individual players were trapped in their apartments, only communicating through a social media platform. If only we knew that life in The Circle was soon to be out day-to-day lives in a global pandemic.

    After recapping The Celebrity Circle UK, we’re back to cover an all-new UK season of The Circle (without the celebrities this time). Get ready to catfish, rank friendships, and use your voice activated Circle device to communicate.

    “Circle, introduce today’s panelists.” Today’s Circle-correspondents include host of the Big Brother Live Feed Update, Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran), host of the 90 Day Fiancé recap, Pooya (@Pooyaism), host of the Bachelor RHAPup, Haley Strong (@hstrong_), and The Bridge contestant, Rowan Harper (@RowanHarper1).

    If you were to compete on The Circle, would you go as yourself or a catfish? “Circle, open Twitter and send @RobHasApodcast a tweet to let them know what I thought about the first episode hashtag circle UK season 3, heart emoji.”

          Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) is joined by the Big Brother live feed updater Bobby Goodsby (@GoodsbyBobby) to discuss everything from the eleventh episode of season 1 of the new Netflix series The Circle, which was titled “The Last Rating.”

          First, Taran and Bobby discussed this episode’s game called “Most Likely” and how they thought the game could influence all of the ratings going forward and how each player reacted to the game. Then, they made predictions on how this game will affect the rest of the game.

          Next, Taran and Bobby gave their thoughts on the final set of ratings and discuss all the potential strategies each player used and should’ve used when making their ratings. Then, they talked about all the implications of these ratings, including their thoughts on the twist where the lowest rated player was immediately blocked.

          Finally, they discussed who was blocked, who this person ended up going to meet, and this person’s video to the rest of the players. Taran and Bobby then made their winner predictions and discussed the final face-to-face chat.

                      Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) is joined by the co-host of the “Why ____ Lost” Survivor RHAP-up David Bloomberg (@DavidBloomberg) to discuss everything from the ninth episode of season 1 of the new Netflix series The Circle, which was titled “Instant Block.”

Then, they talked about all the implications of the next set of ratings, including their thoughts on the twist where the least popular player was blocked.

                      Taran and David then discussed the decision of the two Influencers to have to immediately block another player and how they thought this could influence the game going forward. Taran and David made predictions on who this new person would go and visit.

                      Finally, they discussed who the second blocked player went to go visit, the two videos each of the blocked players sent on their way out the door, and how Sean revealed her real photos to the rest of The Circle.
