Who Gets Blocked First on ‘The Circle’ Season 6?
After Myles is voted by the other players as the number one human contestant, he has to make the first blocking decision. It’s all about not only choosing who should go, but who is the AI among them. And it’s no secret that no one suspects Max as the AI player. It’s safe to say that Max is far from Myles’s radar at the end of Episode 4.
It comes down to Steffi and Paul, with some doubt for Kyle sprinkled in there. And at this point, Myles isn’t totally off in his potential blockings. Paul is a catfish after all, since he is actually Caress playing the game as her brother from back home. Kyle isn’t being 100 percent truthful about who he is either. He claims to be a single guy having fun in the game, whereas in reality, Kyle is happily married.
Elimination Process on ‘The Circle’
Typically, blockings on The Circle are up to the top two players, or “influencers.” Every episode or two, the players rank each other. They place their allies, or most trusted players, at the top of their lists, and the least liked or the ones they don’t trust, at the bottom of their respective rankings. Then, the top two ranked players are announced. They have to agree on which player they block.
In Season 6, the first blocking is in the hands of just one player (Myles), but that’s because of the AI twist and the subsequent AI vote to choose the “most human” player. But for the most part, the eliminations on The Circle are left up to the top two players of the most recent rankings. But the pressure is still there, even if two players get to share in the responsibility.
