Who is Brett Robinson? Big Brother star is set to participate in Netflix’s The Circle season 5

CBS’ Big Brother season 20 contestant Brett Robinson will appear on The Circle season 5, which premieres on Netflix this Wednesday, December 28.

This is the first time The Circle is featuring an all-singles cast of 12 members, which means everyone has a chance to develop romantic feelings for each other by chatting. Only three players will be catfishing others this season, while the remaining contestants will play the online social game themselves, just like Brett.

In a recent trailer of The Circle, Brett Robinson seems to impress everyone by his looks in pictures. Meanwhile, one contestant is left wondering if he is being catfished by 29-year-old Brett. Brett, on the other hand, has revealed in his introductory video that he is not just having a "hot boy summer" but a "hot boy year."
