More about the Netflix show

The Circle is currently airing season 6 on Netflix. The season started with Kyle, Cassie, Brandon catfishing as Olivia, an AI bot catfishing as Max, Quori-Taylor, Lauren, Caress catfishing as Paul, Myles, and Steffi.

Steffi was eliminated in episode 5, and Max's true identity was revealed, two more contestants, Jordon and Autumn, joined the show. In each segment, the contestants interacted with one another through a chat box. They took part in tied group chats and had the option of privately chatting with the players of their choice.

Based on these interactions and other games, the cast ranks each other to reveal where they stand. The top two players become influencers who then have the power to block/eliminate anyone from The Circle.

So far in the game, several alliances have formed, including one between Quori-Taylor and Kyle, who successfully eliminated Cassie after becoming the top influencers in episode 6.
