Notes[]

  • ^Note 1: Richard Madeley wasn't in The Circle until the very end of the Episode 1, meaning that he was exempt from the ratings in Episode 2.
  • ^Note 2: In Episode 6, due to being a guest Richard was not allowed to rate but was eligible to be rated by the other players.
  • ^Note 3: In Episode 7 after passing his task to be blocked, Richard was able to give immunity from the next blocking to another player; he chose Georgina.
  • ^Note 4: In this rating, the influencers do not have the power to block but the bottom two players are instantly blocked from The Circle; both Jack and Beth were the at the bottom of the rankings and the twist is that they could go on as a pair potentially playing as a catfish together.
    • Another couple, Ryan & Lauren could potentially replace them in The Circle.
  • ^Note 5: Beth and Jack was chosen to stay in The Circle, now playing as a Catfish.
