He was worried about Kai’s ability to sweet talk, but clearly he knows that game pretty well.

Nick, Nick, Nick … successfully convincing James to block his alliance members twice (!) in a row (!!!!) shows just how strong a player he is. And crying about how much he loves his grandma definitely earns some bonus points in my book! Although he and Nick are pretty equally matched, James’s sincerity inches him ahead. Winning the influencer role twice in a row proves he’s on folks’ good side, and I’d love to see a late-entering player pull off a win. He’s such a likable guy, and everyone’s drawn to his charisma and sense of humor. Who do we think will pull in the prize money? Well, as the final five players get ready to finally meet face-to-face on finale night, here’s our final power ranking for season three:Īt this point, I’m rooting for James to win, and I think he has great odds. Jacki is heartbroken but understanding and insists there are no hard feelings. Neither man can stomach blocking longtime players over a newbie, and James is sent to deliver the news in person. When the time comes to decide who to block, unfortunately for Jacki, her days were always numbered. Pulling in the highest ratings twice is impressive for anyone, but for it to happen to this pair twice in a row? Simply unheard of. Once again, power players James and Nick are made influencers, this time pitting the two against each other anonymously. The Circle loves to keep players in a state of overwhelming paranoia, and for that, we thank her! In the final blocking before the finale, the two influencers are kept a secret - even to each other. Who knows how convinced the players actually are by his goodbye message, but Isabella lives to see another day - and maybe that’s Daniel’s doing! Okay, you’re right, probably not. After visiting Isabella and meeting the real Sophia, Daniel is instantly drawn to her and tries to throw the remaining players off her catfishy scent. Because of this connection, James ultimately decides to drop Daniel, hoping that Nick will reward him by saving Kai if the opportunity presents itself.Īlthough getting blocked crushes poor Daniel’s little heart, you know he doesn’t leave without stirring the pot on the way out. But in the time between his conversation with Daniel and the blocking, James opened himself to Ashley, chatting about his relationship with his trans brother. Nick obviously doesn’t want to get rid of Ashley, and James promised to keep Kai and Daniel safe. The decision comes down to Ashley or Daniel. She connects with James the most (or perhaps the quickest), and it seems like her addition to Viva La Revolution is going to keep these four players safe through the endgame.īut at the next ratings, James and Nick are crowned influencers, and with both men pushing to eliminate someone outside of their alliance, somebody eventually has to give. But Jacki has walked into a war and is unwittingly the dividing line between The Band and the poorly named “Viva La Revolution” alliance of Kai, James, and Daniel. The other players are quick to jump in Circle Chat and flood her feed with compliments, trying to gain the numbers advantage for their alliance. Of all the new players added at different points of this season, Jacki immediately has the most stacked against her. But just to keep everyone on their toes, The Circle introduces the final player, Jacki, a #GamerGirl from Los Angeles. Jackson becomes the first true catfish ousted from the game, allowing Isabella and Ashley to breathe a little easier in the coming days. After a double blocking eliminates Ruksana (who was working alongside Kai, Daniel, and James) and Jackson (a catfish aligned with Nick, Ashley, and Isabella), the numbers are once again even on both sides. In the final four episodes before the finale next week, clear lines are drawn in the sand between the two major alliances.
