    I'd love to know more about the chat limits! Is it a straight forward limit of X conversations for X minutes a day? Are you not allowed to repeatedly talk to the same people? A lot of the chats seem to be 2-3 questions then done! Is that the edit, or were some chats limited to 5-10 mins?
    Are you ever directed who to start a conversation with? Such as someone you haven't spoken to in a while, or to put together the relevant connections for whatever the current drama is?
    And what is the deal with the diary room? You clearly go there a fair bit, but it's hardly used in the final edit. Maybe 2 or 3 times over the entire course of the first series, and once so far this series. It seems like the diary room is the very last resort for the director/editors. Did producers ask you questions about the topics of the day in case it was needed for the edit? Or was it more of a welfare issue with making sure you were feeling okay? Did you get to speak to people face to face in there or is it more like the Big Brother diary room (an isolated booth with camera and speakers)?

      Alex Hobern got a few questions
      Why are you not allowed watches? That seems like something that would be very irritating as you wouldn’t know how long you’ve slept for or how long you’ve been in a chat for
      And surely being able to bring in DVDs wouldn’t do anything but help pass the time, same as books, could also get some good and random gogglebox-esk reacts for content
      Also, who were the smokers? 🤔

    Why is it every time someone is blocked, and the circle alerts the contestants that the blocked person gets to meet someone. All the players are extra tense and and shocked all the time ? Like even when josh the word alert popped up they're all like " oh God what now " but they all know after a blocking what the word alert means

    In the mornings, would the lights just suddenly turn on and you had to get up or were you allowed to have lie ins? Also, how did you know or make sure the cameras didn’t film you when you were naked or using the loo? are those scenes just edited out, because they are clearly filming people whilst in the shower so long as they’re „covered“? do players have to go to the bathroom to get dressed or changed?

But really, Alex, wasn't it great- everything done for us, appearing magically- clothes, steak, and endless prosecco (WTF) if you like that (I don't). Also, so many cocktails- never had a cocktail before I got on to the Circle so genuinely a new experience . They eventually delivered a very nice glass of Ouzo. The circle really looked after us and made us feel so "cared for": It was like living in Paradise, but certainly a very hot version of paradise. All the best, TIM
