Notes[]

  • ^Note 1: In Episode 6, as Freddie and Genelle tied on their ratings they both joined Dan as influencers, also that day there was the first ever double blocking.
  • ^Note 2: In Episode 10, although they were new players Hannah and Scotty were eligible to be rated and ultimately blocked from the game. Genelle also received a rating however this was not revealed as she walked from The Circle before the ratings were announced, her ratings for the players were still counted. Also for the first time there was no influencers as the player with the lowest rating was automatically blocked from the game.
  • ^Note 3: In Episode 15, the bottom two players were at risk with the remaining players deciding who would be blocked.
  • ^Note 4: In Episode 16, the top player was a super influencer. The ratings were not revealed.
