After being blocked from The Circle, it was over to Vithun to go and meet a player of his choice. He admitted that 'no-one else has made a mistake' and that's why he thought he got blocked from the game. Felix admitted that he trusted and believed Manrika, and she explained that it shouldn't have come to this, but she did have to think about herself and her own gameplan. Vithun explained that he wasn't sure if he wanted to see Manrika because of the fact that she blocked him, and the same applied to Felix. Andy was the person he had spoken to the most although their relationship might have ended strangely...but he decided to dress up in his brown teddy bear costume and go to see Andy, admitting that he didn't think Andy was going to be real! Andy said that Vithun seemed to have disappeared, and he explained that it was because he kept making bonds and connections with people who ended up being blocked from the game, so it was a waste of time when he could have been speaking to other players instead. Femi explained that this was going to make him question which other bonds in the game are not genuine, and Pippa explained that with Vithun being blocked from the game, she was technically at the bottom of the leaderboard. Manrika also explained that she needs to make alliances with those that call Andy their bestie, and that if she's going to lose to anyone, it was going to be Andy.
Vithun's video was shown to the players and Felix explained that he felt like they had made the wrong decision and after watching Vithun explain that some people make mistakes in the game, Femi said 'what you're saying is that Manrika is a snake?' with Manrika explaining that he was so lovely and she wish she could have protected him a bit more...adding 'this is the type of thing that could jepordise my position in here' and decided to apologise in the group chat. Dorothy explained that she did the right thing and everyone voted him low, and Andy said that he didn't like the fact that Manrika explained she made a decision that would be 'beneficial for the group', adding that she wasn't honest in the chat. Pippa thanked the influencers for saving her, adding that 'this will be remembered' and Manrika stated that Andy knew she did what she had to do, and hopefully he knows why she made the decision she had to do. Andy added that Vithun definitely wasn't in the game for the money, adding 'I'm absolutely certain'. Andy went on to say in the group chat 'it never gets any easier seeing someone we all like go', adding that Vithun came to see him and although he was upset, they had a lovely chat. Manrika was angry that he didn't try and stick up for her but tried to embarrass her infront of the other players.
Andy started a private chat with Manrika to discuss how the group of circle siblings and the promises made there, lead to a blocking, and he admitted that he had to be careful as he was in a weak position at the moment. Manrika explaiend to Andy that after Vithun's anonymous message, she wanted to put it behind her, but it almost caused her to cut Felix off, which could have ruined the connection she had with him. Andy added that 'Vithun should have worked harder to stay in the game' and Andy stated that if he wanted to get to the final, he would need Manrika on side. Syed also started a chat with Felix to discuss the situation of why Vithun was blocked from The Circle, adding that he didn't think Syed would care, but it seems that he really does. Syed was happy that he was able to block a snake from The Circle and was glad that his suspicions were proved right!
Nanna Dot became the circle caller of the next game called 'Ballsy Bingo' and she picked 2 names out of the hat at the same time to see if they could agree on a statement. Up first was Manrika and Pippa, and they had to agree on the 'most honest player' so far in the game. They both said Andy, and that was the first bingo of the game! Felix and Femi had to agree on the player that could be labelled as 'the biggest gossip', but with Felix choosing Femi and Femi choosing Syed...that meant that there was a bit of tension and confusion instead. The final pairing was Syed and Andy who had to decide who the 'most strategic player' was, with Syed choosing Manrika and Andy choosing Femi...which made for another uncomfortable situation. Manrika stated that Andy is a gameplayer, but she didn't know how many other people can see it, with Femi adding that Andy wound him up. Syed invited Manrika to a private chat and he explained that he cares the most about Manrika and she doesn't have to play mad games when speaking to him. Manrika explained that Syed could have chosen somebody else as the most strategic player, and Syed decided that he wanted to try and reach out to explain that some people are starting to see her as a threat, and that he didn't want her to get blocked soon, so he explained that out of all of the remaining players, he wanted to assure her that he would try and help her get to the final. he added that 'if anyone deserves that prize money, it's her' and explained to Manrika that he wants to guide and help her for as long as she's here for.
Femi explained that Andy is still trying to execute a strategy, and he doesn't know what Andy can say to make him feel better in this kind of situation. He decided to invite Andy to a private chat and Andy's initial thought was that Femi was a catfish, but he didn't mean the word strategic in a negative way at all. He explained that as one of the new players, Femi has been speaking to everyone and making good connections with people, and in a professional environment, being strategic would be a good thing. Femi got the wrong idea of what Andy was trying to say, and stated that 'singling people out isn't what Femi is all about' and Andy admitted that some people might take the phrase strategic to mean 'game player'. Femi wasn't too happy with the conversation, but messaged andy 'glad I have better peace of mind...have a good night bro' and left the chat.
As the only pair to win a bingo, Manrika and Pippa were treated to a 'Blingo Party'. They were given a box of accessories to wear, and Manrika explained that she looked like a golden goddess. She explained that 'what I need now, is players to be rating how I'm rating, without telling them how to rate', and explained to Pippa what Vithun did by commenting the anonymous comment that could have broken up the bond between her and Felix, and also added that after The Circle chat had closed, Andy jumped into her DM's. Manrika explained that 'it's upsetting to me because I loved Andy the most' and Pippa noticed that she explained that last sentence in the past tense, and she had planted a seed in Pippa's mind...whether she meant to or not. Manrika suggested adding Femi to their new group chat and Pippa seemed to think that she was reading her mind as she was going to do the same thing.
Pippa explained that she should add 'Femster' and Manrika realised that Pippa and Femi had probably almost had a bond if they had names for eachother already. Manrika explained that 'I don't think everyone is as tight as you may think' and she explained that she didn't have to bring up the subject of votes, but instead all she had to do was plant the seed. Femi explained that if he was in a private chat with Pippa, he would have openly admitted to not trusting Andy, but realised that Manrika might still have a close bond with her, and was unaware of her previous private chats with both Andy and Pippa! Femi explained that he wanted to make 'genuine bonds, and ones that don't make me think twice' and also explained that the more he brought up the conversation around Andy, the more angry he would get. Pippa added 'Andy best be careful Manrika's not an influencer next...' and Manrika nicknamed this group 'the triple threat'. She explained that she had both of their backs and that was a promise, and Femi realised Andy was a snake, and 'what do you do to a snake? you kill it!'. Manrika explained that 'the takedown of Andy has become', adding that Vithun learnt his lesson...adding 'you wanna try and screw me over, you best think I'm gonna do you twice as dirty!'...
