The complexity of The Circle is the reason behind its success on Netflix. A fan suggested a contestant variation for season 5.

“Of returning players all catfishing but&#8230;”: A Fan Has an Insane Idea for the Circle Season 5, Netflix Must Check Out

Given its never-seen-before concept, the hype around The Circle is an obvious
one. Season 4 and 5 of the show were announced together; so the anticipation for
season 5 has brought solace to the grieving hearts of the fans after season 4
ended. Twitter being the major common ground for fans; was bombarded with
speculations for the upcoming season. The fans had also grown fond of the
contestants, which became another topic of discussion. A fan suggested a quirky
idea, for The Circle to incorporate in season 5, and received a significant
response.


WHAT DID THE FAN WANT FROM THE CIRCLE SEASON 5 ON NETFLIX?

The Circle isn’t just a reality show, it’s a complex mix of reality and a game
show. Players are allotted apartments in the same building but aren’t supposed
to see each other or even know who the other players are. The players then chat
or play games with the other players from a screen called ‘The Circle’. While
doing this they can pose as themselves or as a catfish and manipulate other
contestants into thinking they are real personalities. Every contestant is rated
based on how real they come off as.

Like its innovative concept, The Circle‘s ideas with contestants became more
creative every season. In the last season we saw Spice Girls Mel B and Emma
Bunton, together pose

as the catfish Jared. In this already complicated gameplay, a fan wanted to add
a variation. Here’s their tweet.

Grace! wanted the contestants from the past seasons to catfish for the upcoming
season; without them knowing there are other returners in the cast.


IS THIS FAN’S REQUEST A POSSIBILITY?

While it’s not uncommon for most reality shows to bring in their popular past
contestants; this can be a difficult one for The Circle. In a show where your
identity is of the utmost importance to win the prize, the slightest of slips
can result in a loss.

Since the former contestants know each other well, they might reveal their
invitation to one another, thinking others weren’t invited. Also, there is a
rule in The Circle that allows the evicted player to meet a contestant of their
choice. If a playing contestant comes across another past player, they will
suspect other players of being past contestants too; thus blowing the cover.
Hence, Grace‘s suggestion seems like a far cry.
