The story so far! A group of strangers have entered this flat to compete for $100,000 and the title of Circle Champion. But before we get into the final Ranking, we have one more bit of business involving our remaining players, "Jennifer" (Brett/Xanthi), Oliver, Raven, Sam, "Tamira" (Tasia), and Super Influencer Chaz, who still has one more person left to block after Tom, by virtue of his 7th place finish, was Blocked.

ALERT! The Super Influencer has chosen one person to block...
- BLOCKED: Oliver

That leaves our final five.. or four. After a brief convo, it's time for...

FINAL RANKING: This time, you are choosing a winner. The person who has the most votes will be the winner!

After that ranking, it's time to go up to the Penthouse to... unite for the first time! People who were expecting "Jennifer"... met Brett & Xanthi. PEople who were expecting "Tamira"... met Tasia. And people who were expecting Michelle... got Michelle, because she has the results!

In fifth place... "Jennifer".

In fourth place... "Tamira". So catfishing... not an optimal strategy.

In third place... Raven!

And then there were two.

The winner... of The Circle... season 5... is...

The team with the most correctly-slotted balls in the fastest time wins.

We begin the year with a special event... three sandwich chefs will try to... BEAT THE JUDGES!

On the panel today... Christian Petroni, Crista Luedtke, and Maneet Chauhan.

Here's how it works. The winner of the first game will get $10,000 and the right to face one of the judges for ANOTHER $10,000.

GAME 1: A decadent sandwich... using the slices you get from a FANTASY FOOD DRAFT. You'll choose one loaf of bread and one cheese.
- Molly (Dutch Crunch/canned): Bulgogi Cheesesteak with Kimchi - 37 out of a possible 50
- James (Challah/Havarti): Katsu Ribeye with Havarti on Challah & Fennel Apple Side Salad - 39
- Jeff (Raisin loaf/Blue): Duck Confit & Liver Pate Mousse, Roquefort & Raisin Bread Sandwich with Pickled Pear - 40
WINNER: JEFF

Next up, a sky high sandwich in ONE ITEM PER AISLE against the judge of his choice. He goes with... Christian. Sitting in his spot... Hunter.
- Christian: Gluttonious Hambonious - 43
- Jeff: Double Decker Double Turkey Sandwich with Deviled Pork Rinds & Fried Onions - 40

Well, Jeff has to say goodbye, but he does so with $10,000.

JEOPARDY! ROUND: The 1890s, Women of Science, A College/Town, Songs of the 2010s, Same First & Last Letter, Six Pack

Vince starts with $600 Women of Science. At the TV timeout, Vince and Erin are neck and neck with $3000 to $2200. Alec is $800 down.

Two clues out of the break, Erin finds the Daily Double under $1000 The 1890s. She is going for it on this...
- THE 1890s for $3600: Returning after a 1500-year break, these opened April 6, 1896
"What are the Modern Olympic Games?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $7200! She ends up with $9400 to $3800 for Vince. Alec on $400 gets the first pick in...

DOUBLE JEOPARDY!: Know Your Boundaries, Blank Verse, Long-Serving Politicians, Newspaper Names, Elemental Responses, Movies That Matter.

... with $400 Movies That Matter. Vince finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Elemental Responses. He is going for it on this...
- ELEMENTAL RESPONSES for $4600: Ferns, amphibians & early reptiles thrived during this geological period from about 360 to 300 million years ago.
"What is the Copper Age?" No, it was the Carboniferous Period. HE recovers $6400 when he finds the other under $1600 Newspaper Names. He bets all but a dollar on this...
- NEWSPAPER NAMES for $6399: Samuel Morse could have used his code to signal the name of this British daily founded in 1855
"What is the Telegraph?" RIGHT for $12,799! He ends up with $15,599 to $21,000 for Erin. But with -$2000, it's a done day for Alec.

FINAL JEOPARDY!
- EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY: In 1692 Increase Mather wrote, "It were better that ten suspected" these "escape, than that one innocent person... be condemned"
Correct response: what are witches?

Everyone's right, but Erin wins with $31,201. Vince leaves with $15,000.

Before the next mission, the remaining contestants were split into two teams and charged with going, one at a time, to the confessional to give a paragraph and a line to find.

MISSION #5: The players had to bring the reference Alan gave them back to their team to find a riddle in a large book. The riddle would then lead them to a clothing item worn by one member of the masked congregation. Only the first team to identify an item counted, and each correctly-identified item earned $5,000 for the pot. Teams only had one guess per round, and there were 4 rounds.

TEAM 1: Amanda, Christian, Cirie, Quentin, Shelbe, Stephenie - 4 out of four
