How does The Circle work?
The Circle involves contestants from all walks of life who are sequestered by themselves in individual apartments contained in the same building. Their only companion is the voice-activated platform called “The Circle,” which they can use to talk with fellow contestants. But displaying themselves purely through their profile allows them to be whoever they want, whether it’s themselves, another version of themselves or someone completely different.
How are players eliminated on The Circle?
Periodically throughout the season, the contestants are asked to rank their competitors. Those who finish at the top are called “Influencers,” and must decide who of the remaining players should be eliminated. Once they have made their decision, that player is “blocked” and must leave his or her apartment. Before they go, though, they have an opportunity to visit any other contestant they want, as well as record a video revealing who they are. When the group gets down to four or five players, one final rating takes place before the contestants meet face-to-face. The top finisher of that final ranking wins the game and the $100,000 prize that goes with it.
Who are the contestants on season 2 of The Circle?
Like last season, The Circle season 2 will start with eight new contestants, assumingly with others waiting in the wings. However, we don’t know the cast for the new season just yet.

While it’s unknown how much stipend players get the longer they stay on the season, the winner gets a cool $100,000 for finishing in the top at the end of it all. Additionally, viewers can vote for their favorite player, who will receive a $10,000 prize.

And it looks like producers used a similar location for seasons 2 and 3, filming in Manchester, United Kingdom. We’ll have to wait and see whether they again tried to conceal the real location.
Is The Circle scripted?
The actors aren’t memorizing lines or being given multiple takes to get the scene just right but, like every other reality show, they are being nudged by producers and given suggestions on angles. And don’t get us started on the editing process. They are definitely editing and arranging the footage to show off exactly what they want.
