The Circle UK Series 3 - Episode 8 (Wednesday 24th March 2021)

Updated: Apr 8, 2023

Before the reveal of the next blocked player, Andy admitted that he felt like the grim reaper, and Manrika hoped that Andy would word the blocking in a good way. Gemma explained that it's Billy or nobody, and if it wasn't Billy, it's game over. Andy revealed that he and Manrika had mutually decided to block BILLY and Andy said trhat 'I'd be a liar if I said I had the same confidence as I had with the other decisions' with Manrika adding that she thinks Vithun was going to be fuming with both of them. Vithun added that the only way he could describe the situation was as disappointing but not surprising. Billy stated that the catfish catchers got it wrong at the end of the day, and The Circle gave him one final alert, letting him know that the assassin had chosen him as their target, as he was able to go and see that person right now. Billy thought that Manrika or Syed would have been the two possible players that had blocked him, and he walked down the slow motion corridor to go and meet Gemma a.k.a James! After Billy met Gemma, his first reaction was 'you're a lot bigger than I expected' with Gemma adding that she couldn't believe Billy was real, and that she felt really bad. Gemma explained that she was going to have a lot of explaining to do tomorrow...


Before Billy's video was showed to the other players, Vithun explained that Andy has established himself as the most popular player in The Circle, and Andy added that he hopes they've got it right and not scored a massive own goal. Manrika added that if they hadn't made the right decision, she would have a lot of apologising to do. Billy's video shocked all of the players, with Syed saying 'they messed up' with Felix adding that he was really gutted that Billy had been blocked, and Andy saying 'ahh disaster!'. Andy said that 'maybe we all just got played by Gemma' and after The Circle revealed 'Billy was the victim of an assassination', Syed was a little shocked with the wording and Vithun said he felt like no0one was going to trust anyone now. Tally explained that someone was going undercover to get rid of Billy, and it was also revealed that this player succeeded their mission and was immune from the next blocking. Gemma said 'what are people thinking now?' without realising that The Circle was going to reveal it was her that was the reason Billy got blocked! When The Circle chat opened, Felix said that if Gemma comes up with excuses then it's going to make it even worse for her, but Gemma decided to admit that the reason Billy got blocked was because she came last in the competition and had to get a player blocked, otherwise she would have been blocked instantly. Syed thought that Gemma was trying to manipulate all the players, and Andy, Manrika, Tally and Vithun all seemed to agree with Gemma that it was a hard decision, but Felix went for more of an aggressive message by telling it how it is, stating that there are 'cracks in The Circle fam'. Dorothy said that Felix probably didn't want to get nasty to Gemma because the girls might gang up on him, with Manrika noticing that 'she's having beef with my man'. Manrika explained that if she, Tally and Gemma were in a 'Charlie's Angels' sort of group, she'd be the lead of it, and get rid of Gemma when she needs to!


The next part of the show saw Tally making eggs and Gemma was busy at the gym, but Manrika decided to start a group chat with Vithun and Andy, explaining that she wanted to make sure her friendship with Vithun was still strong, adding that 'Gemma's the one that's caused this'. Andy stated that at least Vithun got it right about Billy and everyone else got it wrong. Vithun was also surprised that both Manrika and Andy were doing the grafting, and it was ironic because they're the popular ones in The Circle. Manrika stated she was happy both of the boys had her back and she felt so much better that Vithun was ok. Felix also invited Dorothy to a private chat to explain that they were disappointed about Billy going, and they think they were both played by Gemma. Gemma then went to her group chat with Manrika and Tally, renaming it to 'Geezer Bird Rises from the Ashes' with Manrika asking 'what does that mean?', adding that she felt like she wanted to start yawning as she know that this was a chat for Gemma to just all soppy to the girls. Tally explained that she was happy Gemma was coming out of her shell, with Gemma adding that they are a solid group of 3. Manrika suggested that Tally might be easily led by the conversation and just needed to make sure she knows what she's doing. After Gemma said Felix's personality was like a 'wet sponge', Tally said 'all she had to do was make a wet sponge joke and I'm all hers!'. Syed also invited Manrika to a private chat, complimenting her on her influencer status and the difficult decision that she and Andy both had to make...also being skeptical and wondering whether Manrika could actually be a man. Syed also revealed that he had been doing some investigating about Felix, with Manrika thinking 'how did he find out all that information?'. She asked whether Uncle Syed gives the approval for her to continue speaking to Felix, and he said it was her choice!


The players were then able to take part in a game called 'Poet and you know it' where the players had to make a limerick rhyme abut another player, and would also get one in return. Tally wasn't sure was a limerick was to begin with, but with the instructions explained, the pairs were as follows; Gemma and Tally. Syed explained that Gemma had really good poetry skills and Tally's reply rap included the word 'Geezer Gals'. Dorothy and Syed had to write a poem for eachother, with Andy adding that they were having a moment, and Syed's poem including the lines 'don't get in my pants otherwise another divorce will start'. Andy and Vithun were able to write a little poem for eachother, with Felix adding that Vithun's poem was 'very Vithun and very cute' and Andy saying that his was a little bit sh*t. Syed was excited for the final pairing, by saying 'oh here we go love birds'. Manrika's poem for Felix was completely flirty and didn't pie off Felix, and he explained that his poem was full on, and hoping she would appreciate it. The final lines of his poem were 'I'm here to say, I've thrown the player away, Manrika will you be my official circle cutie, with Manrika replying 'of course I will!'. Tally said that she 'wouldn't trust Felix as far as I can throw him', adding that he flirted with everyone as soon as he arrived, and hoped that Manrika wouldn't forget about the people that she knew before new player Felix. Manrika started a final private chat with Felix before bed time, so 'I can be fresh in his mind before he goes to sleep'. Felix realised that Manrika could be open with her about gameplay, so added that he wasn't going to trust any conversations with Gemma from this moment on to which Manrika seemed to agree, adding 'at least I'm not the only one'. She said that she had been trying to give Gemma the benefit of the doubt, adding 'Gemma, not everybody is fooled by your bullcrap!'...
