Just finished episode 3 and OP is spot on. There's something refreshing about watching the ran-into-the-ground reality game show format with people who are all A. Really good at making alliances and B. Generally charming and nice.

ok just watched the first ten minutes of the first new episode and goddamn it i wanted adam to get eliminated. i have no idea why shooby saved him in the previous episode. but at least our joey is safeDrunk Nerds posted:I just finished the first episode of the circle and I wish the rules were more clearly outlined. Is the goal to catch the catfish? Is it to survive until the end like every other reality show? the goal is to survive in the end but they add new players when one gets eliminated so tbqh i have no idea how th ewinner will actually be chosen which is part of the excitement i guess

Ritznit posted:The Circle is so dumb and yet so enthralling, I legit can't wait until more episodes come out. Personally I can't help but be all about Chris, he's the hammiest person and I can't help but enjoy his sincere dedication to his ... entire everything. yeah he's great too. sometimes it seems like only the catfish are actually playing to win, while the non-catfish are genuinely trying to build relationships. but i guess that's also a way to win?

I kinda felt bad for Seaburn toward the end when things started getting serious and it was obvious that Shubham got his feelings hurt.

It was pretty hilarious when Joey made a real show of connecting with the big girl and then immediately kicked her off

Watched this my wife and loved it, but was ready to be done with the "characters composing and reading messages to each other on the couch" gimmick after 12 episodes. Would still watch another season though. Shooby, Joey, Sammie and Chris were all fantastic and I enjoyed that they seemed genuine and very kind and that helped them in the end. Very chill show for a reality show.

This show rules so hard that like everyone in my department likes it and these are guys that like super nerd poo poo and would never admit to watching reality tv. My wife thought it was retarded and wanted to stop after the first episode but they all told me to power through a few episodes and now she loves it and puts it on as soon as I get home so we can watch it

The whole thing if so disorienting because I don't understand how anyone can have any real feelings at all and yet they seem to genuinely think they're connecting with each other. I guess when you're alone in an apartment for days on end with nothing to do, your limbic system starts to get desperate. By the end of the season I started seeing what the real game was and I wonder if future seasons will be made more complex by the fact that people will have seen this show and have expectations about how things are gonna go.

I had the same thought, if this game is anything like Survivor it will change dramatically. It was interesting that they never give any criteria for what the ranking should be based on. I'll be honest, I didn't think they would announce that a ranking would be the final one, as I thought that would change the strategy too much. But it really didn't. In the future people will be making much more gameplay based decisions than these guys did. Also so many people seemed to be basing their thought process on 'who is the catfish' when there is literally no advantage to catching one.

Netflix should just go all-in and give the final five their own Jersey Shore knockoff. They seem to have a good chemistry, even in person.

Show was good because a lot of the people seemed genuine and relatable, I know all reality tv is fake so I’m just going to assume these actors hit it out of the park Not sure the next season will be half as good though tough group of people to follow Also I hated that gently caress who played Adam, the rape and creep vibes were extremely strong in that dude, wife hated him as well

I feel like the production wasn't legit with them about what the show was going to be about. They seemed like they thought the show was "find the catfish," and they kept referring to THE catfish with the assumptions that there would be one, and it would probably be only one. Also, Shubham is an rear end in a top hat. He came in ready to hate everyone. He was also fake as hell and completely oblivious. Literally the scene after he has that big emotional bonding with Sammy (a woman), he gets in touch with Joey to plot about the men combining forces to eliminate the women. The thing that was the most interesting to me was that everyone endorsed each other's decisions to the point where it seemed socially impermissible to do anything else. "We were really close and then you turned around and eliminated me? Oh that's okay!" "We were super close and you swore you were legit, but you were catfishing and lying the whole time? Oh that's okay!" Like drat. It's okay to say "wow that's not cool"

I hear what you’re saying about Shubby, but maybe it’s because I’m an engineer and have had to work with a lot of them, thankfully in management now BUT he just reminds of the stereotypical engineer who is super naive and has only went to school with guys, worked with guys, has little experience (not that it matters we’re all just people) talking to someone not his gender and is socially awkward

And assumes all women are Paris Hilton and rants about vapid whores I mean yes he sure is an engineer, but that's not an excuse as much as it is a reason to avoid him e: Do it ironically posted:Also I hated that gently caress who played Adam, the rape and creep vibes were extremely strong in that dude, wife hated him as well

I will say, him meeting Rebecca was a highlight. It was a stupid show, but it was fun-stupid.

Yeah it's also really interesting what didn't happen. Nobody asked if the Seaburn/Rebecca thing was a trans thing, which would be my immediate first hypothesis in that situation. Also, nobody catfished across racial lines. Did nobody want to or did the production not let them? That would also have been a huge deal

I guess that was true for most of the catfish but it seemed much more intense with him in part because he didn't seem to be consciously aware he was doing it.
