The Circle: Singles Season Finale
by Chico Alexander
@DinoRAlexander
Netflix: streaming Wednesdays
Host: Michelle Buteau

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...
...
...

........
.... SAM CARMONA! Congratulations! |

The Challenge: Ride or Dies
by Chico Alexander

MTV: 8p ET
Host: TJ Lavin

Last week the teams took two to tango. The Pink Team won, sending Horacio and Jordan into the Zone. Jordan lost... but got another chance with his teammate against Faysal & Moriah and Kaycee & Kenny. Faysal & Moriah won a round of Don't Let Me Down, leaving the other two to play...
ZONE: Kaycee & Kenny vs. Aneesa & Jordan.
- KNOT SO FAST:
Teams have 20 minutes to create as many knots as they can using a rope within a cubic structure. After those 20 minutes are up, teams switch positions and must untie their opponent's knots. The first team to untie their opponent's knots and drag the rope across the finish line wins.
WINNERS: Aneesa & Jordan
- ELIMINATED: Kaycee & Kenny
DAILY CHALLENGE: RUNAWAY RIDE. Played one team at a time, teams begin in a bus filled with dozens of colored balls. As the bus swerves around a racetrack, teams must study a pattern printed on a board along the track, then recreate it by finding and arranging the required balls in the bus. The team with the most correctly-slotted balls in the fastest time wins.
- WINNER: Bananas & Nany
They pick to go into the Zone... Amber & Chauncey.
THE DRAW
- Horacio & Olivia and Devin & Tori are saved at the Draw, meaning that Aneesa & Jordan are going back into...
ZONE: Amber/Chauncey vs. Aneesa/Jordan
- BALLS IN:
Played in male and female rounds, players begin tethered to their opponent. They must knock over their three stacks of blocks at the boundary of the Zone, while their opponent tries to do the same, to win the round for their team. The first team to win two rounds wins.
WINNERS: Aneesa & Jordan
- ELIMINATED: Amber & Chauncey. |

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. |

The Traitors

So far, the participants have earned $94,900 out of $107,000... and all they had to do was go for a spin on a revolving wheel. Things spun out of control for Mcihael, who revealed that he was NOT a traitor. So the Traitors will go on another murder spree...
- MURDERED: Ryan Lochte (C-Note: NO!)
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
TEAM 2: Andie, Anjelica, Arie, Cody, KAte, Kyle, Rachel - blanked
- WIN: $20,000
BANK: $114,900 out of a possible $127,000
However, Alan is feeling a little generous, so he will bump it up to an even $115,000!
ROUND TABLE #3: The players will meet here to discuss the day's events, after which there will be a vote to banish one person. That person will have to reveal whether or not they are a Traitor.
- Cody: Kyle
- Shelbe: Kyle
- Anjelica: Kyle
- Stephenie: Kate
- Kyle: Kate
- Rachel: Kate
- Quentin: Kyle
- Cirie: Kyle
- Amanda: Kyle
- Kate: Kyle
- Andie: Kyle
- Arie: Kyle
- Christian: Kyle
BANISHED: Kyle Cooke, who reveals that he is... NOT a Traitor.
Meanwhile, the Traitors are making another decision as to who to murder tonight...
TO BE CONTINUED.
Season 1 of "The Traitors" is available in its entirety on Peacock. Another recap follows tomorrow. |
