Episode 3 of The Circle opened with Kevin contemplating his game strategy and how he has almost everyone in his KFern community. He was doubtful about Savannah and Andy (Heather)'s strategy and wanted to know what was going on in their heads. Rachel (Deb) talked about improving her game and wanted other players to like her.

The players were tense and planning on their strategy as there was a blocking ahead for episode 3 of The Circle, in which one player would be blocked, and nobody wanted that for themselves.

Savannah was disappointed that Kevin chose Gianna (Nicky and Jojo) instead of her for the VIP party. Rachel (Deb) invited the players for a group chat so that she could make a connection with the players.

Later in episode 3, the players were put into game mode as they were presented with a pop culture quiz. The quiz brought suspicion to the identity of a few players. Heather who is disguised as Andy claimed that Rachel is not someone young as she got the abbreviation question wrong. It raised a few more eyebrows about Rachel's age.

After the game, the players were tasked to rate each other, and as Garret and Madelyn were new entries they were allowed to rate, but could not be rated. Kevin, Darian, and Andy got into a group chat where Andy acted all cool about not being invited to the party.

All three revealed about their plus ones. Shortly, the rating for all 7 players came out as Garret and Madelyn were out of the rating game. Savannah was in the last place, which shocked Kevin and Andy.

Savannah hoped for Kevin to get the first position so he could make her stay, Luckily, Kevin topped the rating chart, and Gianna (Nicky and Jojo) stood at the second place. Soon after the rating list, players received the 'Alert' message which asked them to choose which player they would block in episode 3.

Gianna and Kevin got into an influencers hangout to discuss whom to block, and Rachel (Deb) texted everyone else that how Kevin got the first position in the rating list. Rachel got into trouble with Darian in the chat.

Finally, Kevin invited players into the group chat to reveal whom he along with Gianna decided to block. The episode ended at a cliffhanger, and episode 4 revealed to the audience that Savannah was blocked by Kevin and Gianna.
