She actually understood the 'anyone could be anyone' mantra. Because Dan was playing himself, he thought everyone else was too, and therefore couldn't accept the fact that someone had acted in a disingenuous manner and therefore beat him. Tbh I think part of his refusal to accept what had happened stemmed from lack of intelligence also.
@Gold Rose Exactly. The fact that, the day after the final, Alex and his girlfriend Millie had to take him out for a three hour lunch to calm him down and apologise was ridiculous. He was stupid, end of story.
@@reg10x i liked him but he was very naive. when he said 'i'm annoyed i saved you over others'...people had suspicions about alex/kate for ages - even mairead said when she met him, and he caught on a bit himself...its his own fault if, after that, he continued to stick with that alliance instead of getting him out. it was the same with s2 - people had suspicions about sammie/james yet never seemed to act on them...you can't be annoyed if you don't and then more 'genuine' people go.
Exactly, Dan was a bad judge of character, naive and too emotional from the very beginning. I'm glad he didn't win and I hope he's learned a lesson from all of this.
Ive met that black guy trust me hes the biggest dick ive met in my life the guy jyst boasts he can't evern have a proper conversation i just wanted to get away from him
I don't think he was trying to find love at all, just a genuine connection. You have to remember they're copped up in there for 4 weeks, it's like some form of psychological torture.
@@RenewedRS That's literally the worst place you could possibly go to, if you're trying to establish a genuine connection with someone. He was more daft than "direct".
“SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIISE” “YOU WERENT JUST WANKIN OVER A 57 YEAR OLD, YOU WERE WANKIN OVA A GEEZA” I thought Alex should have won when I watched this but imo Freddie should’ve
I loved his whole act from the start, to me he was one of the only ones "playing the game" properly. Cant wait for this years catfishes. I understand why Dan's upset.. but he came around eventually lol
How can Dan sit there and be like “I’m livid don’t mate me” when he knew what he was coming into? It’s a 50/50 game you’re either taking to the real deal or a catfish. The whole point of the game is to be the most popular person and if you feel being yourself won’t make you win the money then your obvious strategy is to go in as someone who will win everyone over. What a prick. So glad he ended up getting the lowest rating out of all 4
@@ryanjason216 Exactly, Dan annoyed me by being so annoyed. Why was he surprised? Most of the people in that game were fake. If he didn't learn his lesson after the 57 year old woman who was flirting with him, then he was never going to learn. He got what he deserved.
For me Manrika play so much bad game. She have lucky bcs she is so popular. First, she take off her besty and then take off another who has her back and then Vithun... I mean really....
Dan totally throwing shade at Alex/Kate by complicating Sian. Not that I don’t think he was genuine but just calculated in what he said and the timing of it.
I knew Kate had won this when Dan said he would give true ratings, but I was surprised he was the people's champion. I was expecting either of the other 3. My fave was Freddie though.
It makes it even more appropriate that Freddie was compared with Alex in that profile picture game, it still annoys me they didn't mention that at the final.
The thing with Freddie "playing it straight" is that his sexuality had nothing to do with it. He's just very flamboyant and that was the part of his personality he hid. I'm gay also but i don't have a very flamboyant personality, if i just be myself people don't realise until i tell them. I've had multiple people I've told be completely shocked. His game plan had nothing to do with being gay, just hiding that but of his personality. I've got nothing against it by the way, i don't think being "straight acting" is or should be preferred over being flamboyant.
@@someweeb217 it's pretty common for people to think that gay people should act in the stereotypical way. I've personally been told to stop acting straight because I'm supporting the idea gays need to hide. I don't change behaviour, i seem like I'm straight at face value but if you looked closely you could tell i have a few subtle feminine/gay mannerisms but they're not in your face
@@SkaterBlades I know this is two years later, but - WTF? I'm straight but I've known many gay guys in my life. Some have traits which make it pretty clear, others do not. For myself, even though straight, I don't really fit a "straight" stereotype. My point is that your sexuality does not define your personality, nor the way you present yourself to the world. To be honest, I'm a bit disgusted that you've had those comments made to you. Sorry, I'm not being very coherent here. You are the person that you are, you fancy the people that you fancy. Neither of those things should be subject to external comment or stricture. Sorry you've had to be part of those conversations - it does not seem at all right to me.
@@al201103 Jw but what comments are you talking about? If you're talking about homophobia, my natural personality helps me avoid homophobes. The only time these conversations come up is when I'm coming out to someone which often suprises them. To be honest, i get more shit from the LGBT community than i do from homophobes because I'm not "gay enough" for them. But I've got thick skin, i just gave them the middle finger. Everyone's different, but to people who celebrate it, you have to be differently in the right way
I never watched the first series until after the second when I caught the last week. I can't believe the last show of the first series didn't address the picture game with Alex as 'Public' v Freddie!!
I really felt for Alex when Dan was so rude to him. The point of The Circle is you can be ANYONE. Dan obviously caught feelings LOOOL. Look how well Sian took it
lauren wr Exactly! The whole premise of the show is based on catfishing to get popular, they new going in that some people were gonna cat fish. It’s just a game show.
that is lierally the premises of the show so it always was 50/50 so he is being baby. So we would expct him to react like a mature human being who decide to go on a shoe where e could e catfished. That is te least that could be expected
Freddie drove me up the fucking wall. Too much for me, waaaay too much. Not like a 'bad' person. But I could not handle being around that kind of energy.
Stuart Walker Alex never deliberately led Dan on he just gave appropriate and kind responses to what he was given. Also, “love”? There’s no way that was the case and if it was then Dan falls too easily🤷♂️
It's Dan's own bloody fault. It's not a matchmaking game or a show to meet and get to know people. It was a game to win 50k. If you start falling in love with someone you're competing against to win that 50k then you are a fucking idiot. I do feel bad for Dan cause he doesn't seem too bad of a person but come on, he did it to himself.
I didn't see the Circle UK so I didn't really get the context of the situation, but I just luv comparing the Dan's reaction to Romain's reaction in the Circle France to seeing Valeria actually being a man.
I know they made up or whatever eventually, but this really made the ending depressing for me. Dude took himself way too seriously. Felt so bad for Alex.
What I like about the USA version is that family contestants and friends can't see the show until the finals. Other contestants who were blocked meet eachother for the first time as well. And Dan..😍he just invested his emotions to someone. To Kate.. it happens in real life all the time, so I feel for him. It might be only 3 weeks but still, you are in isolation..no phone no TV or newspaper. Nobody to talk to...only text..no voices. Just like Big Brother..housemates 'fall' quickly because you can't leave your temporary 'home'. It seems very hard. So don't blame Dan..it can happen to all of us . Catfishes everywhere online. Trust your gut about people..Dan ignored his gut feeling, so yea. It is a game so he should have played with his head .not his other 'head' if you know what I mean😅 Poor Lovley Dan😍 By the way..I was rooting for him to win or at least the 25.000 pounds. Loved Sian and Freddy as well🎉
Could someone answer a question for me? (As I've never seen the circle but have been intrigued by it).....can you choose to be yourself or be a "Catfish" before you go in or do production choose for you?
You choose every aspect of how you present yourself. Some people aimed to use strategy with this - there was a Welsh girl who presented as her grandfather in the hopes it would give her the advantage of sympathy from the others. I absolutely LOVED The Circle (didn't get to see season 2). If you can find it, and if you enjoy this type of reality TV (where there are some elements of reality) I strongly recommend it. Some people will drive you up the wall, others you'll really enjoy. On that tip, if you haven't seen any UK Celebrity Big Brother....wow, that is an absolute trip.
i’m pretty sure that the players can choose themselves, purely because in series 3 (currently airing) there was a disproportionate number of catfish compared to real people. i also think when you apply to be on the show, you have to do a full overview of who you want to play as.
i honestly dont believe this, so kate wouldnt have been there if it werent for dan and she won both 50000 and 25000, if she could atleast share 10000 with him
British reality TV show where contestants can only communicate via a purpose built social network for the show. Some people use their real name and photos and some catfish

Sian was such a lovely girl when she realised kate was Alex! Didn't take it all too seriously!

I was convinced Sian was going to win, I loved her!!
@Gold Rose I agree completely, Alex was very much a deserving winner. It's a shame Dan had to throw his toys out of the pram on national tv.

I love how Freddie doesn’t even bat an eyelid, he was 100% sure Kate wasn’t real but didn’t care 😂
Lol Dan looked even more annoyed when he found out Kate is actually the gf of the bloke he’s been catfished by 😂😂😂
I burst out laughing when he said that.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game son
1000%
At the end of the day it's a game. Well played by Alex

I think the fact he was being filmed was enough to subdue him from smacking him one hahahaha

So glad Alex/Kate won, makes everyone put the entire game into perspective 👌
