Yahoo News The Circle viewers can't believe one player's villainous turn
The Circle viewers were left stunned on Wednesday night (October 16) as Sammie/James took a villainous turn, leaving her/his relationship with Tim in tatters.
Following Busayo's blocking in Tuesday's episode, the players learned that yet another individual would be leaving the Circle, meaning Influencers Sammie/James and Tim would once again have to decide who to keep in the game.
With James keen to protect his "Circle of Trust" pals Georgina and Paddy, he went into the Hangout with the hope of convincing Tim to block Ella from the game.
Despite James' assertion that Ella is "using people to gain popularity", Tim stood his ground and refused to block her, knowing that doing so could potentially upset Woody.
"This isn't the Woody show!" fumed James to himself, while an uncomfortable Tim reflected: "I'm getting very, very cross with Sammie. I'm thinking I've made friends with a monster."
With Tim eventually getting his own way and blocking Jan from the game, James angrily labelled him "manipulative", which viewers thought was rich considering James is catfishing as a woman with a child.
