This episode was a *LIVE* show meaning that whoever became the second person to be blocked, would join Emma and the panel for an interview. On the panel was Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, Drag sensation Courtney Act and the first blocked player from the show; Emelle!
During the interview with both Scarlett and Courtney, they were asked how they would play the game. They both agreed that it would be better to play as themselves. Courtney added that 'he's interesting enough as it is' and Scarlett gives props to anyone going in as a catfish because they have to remember all of their lies...
During Emelle's interview, she obviously didn't know the real identities of any of the players apart from 'Sammie' who she met and realised was actually James. It was revealed to her that 'Jay' was infact his mum Katie, which she had a little instinct about, and she had absolutely no idea that 'Judy' was in fact Richard Madeley! Her second shock of the series.
The second ratings took place, and both 'Sammie' and Tim ended up at the top positions, but it was Tim who became the No.1 influencer with 'Jay' in third position...(so close but yet so far) !!
From the ratings, Woody admitted that he felt like the boys weren't working together very well and that was why they have been slacking on the leaderboard. Georgina knew she was safe as both influencers have taken a likening to her (and Brooke). And although Tim is now the influencer for the second time, he doesn't like having to vote somebody out!
It was then over to 'Judy' to bust out some dance moves. He had to perform dance moves for the individual players to guess! The moves included 'Dabbing', 'Twerking', 'Ballroom' and 'Gangnam Style'. After the round, each of the players were able to add a second picture to their profile.
Woody then invited 'Sammie' for a private chat to admit that he hadn't been very open with everyone in The Circle due to his dyslexia and explained that he would try and open more over the coming days.
In the end it was over to 'Sammie' and Tim again for who they were going to block for the second time. They weighed up the pro's and con's for each of the players...
Tim:
-Enjoys talking to Brooke
-Finds 'Judy' slightly boring
-Explains that Georgina is definitely coming out of her shell
-Sy hasn't added anything extra to his profile
-Tried to persuade 'Sammie' to get rid of 'Jay...something catfishy
'Sammie':
-Doesn't know anything about Crohn's disease but says that Georgina should stay in because it's obviously been a difficult time for her and wants to find out more...
-Admits to finding Sy a 'funny lad'
-His views have changed about 'Jay' and they had an emotional chat earlier because they are so similar
-Was planning on blocking Woody, but after the private chat with him earlier, feels like that would be a difficult decision
In the end, it was Sy who became the second player to be blocked from The Circle...and he was given the opportunity to meet another player of his choice. He chose Tim!
It was revealed that a new player was to enter The Circle, but the public had to devide between 'Kevin' or 'Ella'.
To watch The Circle live, it's on every night (apart from Saturday), Channel 4 @ 10/10:15pm!
