The Circle UK #3 Geezer Gals Unite

[kittypaws]

I think this is my new favourite phrase

Don’t let sdmilne hear you say that

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I reckon the agreed to 10pms starts cos first dates and other things getting in the way

Well, I'd rather watch 'The Circle'.

It's just annoying because I've missed quite a bit cos of the 10pm start.

They can wait with shows like First Dates Hotel. As much as I love them, they were recorded ages ago. Pre Covid for sure.

Either commit to a series or not. The Circle has a lot of potential to get a lot bigger IMO.

If Gemma is gone which I think she’s 99% is now then syed is the only player left that I like and he doesn’t get very much screen time I don’t think I’ll be able to keep watching. Manrika’s hatred grates me so much Andy is a snake as well after saying I won’t judge and stuff and now rating one of his top allies last. Why don’t both of them see Gemma would be better for them in the long run?

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

I find it amusing how Andy see’s Gemma as a ‘threat’ and reckons she’s ready to stick the knife in. Whilst Gemma’s in his flat all like “Andy’s got me back and I’ve got his”. It just about sums up how communication online is 98% of the time to be honest

Manrika oozing negativity as usual. Really didn’t want her to become an influencer but she clearly makes a good first impression on people

edit: Manrika also didn’t have a tit sandwich today did she? Nor did she do one for someone else? Seems a bit weird she’s been missed out of a game twice in a row.

 

[Former_Antelopee]

I definitely see Gemma going next but if by some miracle she made it to the final I could see her winning due to tactical voting

 

[TescoSainsburys]

I think Andy will be insane getting rid of Gemma, he should keep the info he has on her in his pocket until he needs to get rid of someone closer to the end. I just don't know how tactical he is.
Manrika would definitely keep her in knowing what a hold she'd have (if she knew).

 

[ChattyAuntPatty]

I’m actually shocked that there’s Manrika hate I think the girl is playing a bloody good game and good on her. She’s one of the actually very few keeping it going. The games the game, not everything needs to be cotton candy and rainbows like the rest of them. Obviously she has to come across two faced cos the aim of the game is popularity. She’s literally in it to win it and I love it

I agree to a certain extent. I just really didn't like that she through Tally under a bus for a boy... mates before dates...

Everyone’s allowed their opinion but personally I feel you can play the game whilst still being a likeable person and Manrika just isn’t coming across as likeable to me regardless of her ‘game plan’. I liked her at first, but it all started going downhill with the Tally business and her weird hatred for Gemma.

Hashu/Syed is a perfect example of playing the game without coming across like a nasty person. Also Kate/Alex from series 1.

Yes I agree everyone’s allowed there opinion. I also think you don’t actually know these people so you don’t owe them anything. They all know what they came on for and what the aim is, she told Tally straight and I think she will whenever she’s confronted by anyone. Like they literally have the chance to win 100K, so yes I’d have a game plan too. I think Manrika is a clever gal and knows what to do to get the air time (and so does Andy) rather than being like Vithun who I forgot was even there

She lied to Gemma when asked about the painting though so she doesn’t always tell it straight!
I have no issue with people playing a game, they’re all playing a game to some extent (and with varying degrees of success!) but Manrika does seem to be unnecessarily mean about it all. She just gives off the vibe that she’s not a nice person in real life either.

You can play a game without coming across as a witch and showing a seriously nasty side to your character. Vithun has managed to do a couple of things without making all the comments to himself that Manrika feels the need to.

She had no reason to lie to Tally about what she had done because it was obviously going to be seen. The thing is that she did it once Tally was out of the competition when the truth couldn't hurt her. If she felt as awful as she made out she could have easily told her in the game but that would have put her place in jeopardy, which is the reason she hasn't been honest with Gemma.

The show would be boring without her but she's a venomous character and that's not something that's just been created for TV.

No one cares that she has a game plan. Not sure why people keep saying that as if she’s the only one. Anyone going on that show will have some sort of strategy, that’s basically a given.

Manrika is so clever that she reckons Felix is genuine and ended up getting her best mate blocked for a catfish She told Tally about the ratings because Tally was out of the competition anyway and there was nothing to lose, if Tally had stayed she wouldn’t have said tit. She was totally fake towards Gemma and lied about the painting when confronted about that. So not exactly straight talking in my book.

Hashu is also a and I don’t feel like Alex ever was at all!

(sorry I couldn’t help myself with that reference)

I've just been reading an interview with Tally, I think after she left, she watched back and realised Manrika wasn't her friend. She said she's learnt not to trust anything anyone says, that she doesn't know. I think Manrikas ease at befriending and saying whatever she needs to get what she wants, gives an insight into Manrika and possibly how manipulative she is. She's playing a good game, but she really has a horrible personality. She wants the £100,000 and will do and say whatever it takes to get it.

 

[LaLa247]

I appreciate what people are saying about Manrika playing a good game and she is, and it’s actually so annoying when people get mad at people playing games in GAMEshows

Saying that the thing that I dislike about Manrika is the way she is towards Gemma, now I find Gemma pretty boring and doesn’t seem to be that good at playing the game and obviously we know she’s a catfish and although Manrika thinks she’s a catfish she doesn’t know 100% for certain and I really hate seeing her responses when Gemma just sends a message (she just seems disgusted by her existence tbh, way beyond thinking someone’s playing a game/boring/a catfish) it just reminds me of how bullies in school would behave

Where did you read this? I read an interview with Tally where she said her and Manrika keep in touch outside of the show and she basically said hats off to Manrika for playing such a good game.

 

[Platformcrocs]

Yeah I can't get on board with Manrika at all. Massive mean girl vibes. Obviously Gemma isn't a real person but the way Manrika spoke to her last night was just gross and told everything you need to know about her.

Manrika doesn't like Gemma because Gemma (well, the character) is nice. It's hard to find fault with someone who is a nurse and yoga teacher. Hunter hasn't made Gemma an hole. But she's so spiteful towards Gemma and has no reason to be. By all means be suspicious like some of the others have been, but Manrika is desperate to be the only woman in there. That's why she got rid of her bEsT mAtE Tally.

I don't think that's someone playing a good game at all, I just think it's someone who is a bit of a dick tbh.

Okay you put it a lot better than me, but summed up my thoughts exactly!
