CIRCLE CHAT IS NOW CLOSED!

EVERLY: Stunning but a liar, Felix. Never a good combination from my own experience. Still, I can agree that you two did a good job with your choice. 💜 Well, it definitely wasn't me. I don't think she was a fan of mine.

ADAM: Nah, me neither dudes. I honestly thought I was on shaky ground for a moment there. So thanks for saving me guys, I owe you one.

FELIX: Girl, wasn't me either! Not gonna lie, I was a little bit disappointed considering I had prepared killer virgin mimosas and an apology letter lol 🍸

DANIKA: Heya. Nicky actually came to see me last night! Didn't expect to see her walk in, at all, but she was a great little lady AND she even brought the toaster 😲 Anyway, happy to still be swimming with you guys x #AndThenThereWere7

[circlemuses]

CIRCLE CHAT IS NOW OPEN!

CHANNEL: Good morning! It wasn't an easy choice but I think we made the right one in the end 🙃 How is everybody feeling today? Good night's sleep?

FELIX: Good morning! Last night was definitely harder than anticipated. It's tough to get rid of someone after just meeting them, but I'm very happy with the little group we've currently got. But OMG, was the real-life Nicky absolutely STUNNING or what?! 🤩

ELODIE: Morning everyone ☕ I slept great, thank you x Much needed after the nerve-wracking evening yesterday. I can imagine it wasn't easy but I'm happy to still be here 💖 Nicky seemed like a lovely gal! I wonder who she went to visit?

CIRCLE CHAT IS NOW OPEN!

HOWIE: G'morning gang 🤘 Last night was wild but big thanks to Channel and Felix for keeping me around 🙏 Gotta say, certainly didn't expect to be waking up this morning to find out that Nicholas was Nicole all along 😂

CIRCLE: FAREWELL MESSAGE

“Bonsoir! It’s me, Nicky. I just wanted to say; nobody is who they seem. Clearly I am proof of that. I really loved getting to know you guys for a minute. Keep an eye on your influencers guys. Much like in the real world they can be fake.”

“I do keep my promises,” Nicky smiles, wrapping one arm around the other girl with the other still balancing the toaster. Of course, Danika is who she says she is. Apart of her wished she was walking in on another catfish. Just for the drama. She pulls away. “I’m still Nicky,” she smiles, holding out the toaster. “But my family call me Nicole.”

she takes the toaster with a chuckle, nodding her head. “oh! well, it’s nice to meet you, nicole. i’m.. that girl-” turns slightly to the side, elbow pointing in the direction of her screen. “danika.” but the other probably figured that out already. “so, why did you come in as a guy?” the toaster is neatly placed on top of the kitchen counter, hands reaching for the waffle iron she then raises. “i would, by the way, totally give you this guy, but.. i don’t think they’d be pleased.” she laughs, ‘they’ being the production crew. getting two glasses and the sprite from the fridge, she half-jogs back into the living room, putting everything on the small table before jumping straight into pouring drinks like a good host. “oh my god,” glances at the girl, holding out the glass and letting out a small, excited shriek, almost as if she still can’t believe this is happening. “you have to tell me, like, everything.”

Cleary my tactic did not pay off. I gasped when I saw my name. I really hadn’t expected it. Fuck Felix man. I refuse to hold any grudges but that guy is now at the top of my list. I don’t have the time to ponder my predicament much longer before they want me to go meet one of them. Oh god, who do I chose? Who was I most curious about? I could show up Felix’s door and punch him in the face but I don’t think the violence will reflect well on me. I leave my apartment only really deciding who I was visiting a second before leaving. Just enough time to grab it.  I’m here to have a good time, not a long time; feels very fitting now, I think on the way down the corridor. I’m in front of door. I grab the door’s handle pushing on it gently. Creeping around the corner into the lavishly decorated apartment with a toaster under my arm. 

nicky?! what the fuck? but i liked nicky! and i genuinely thought everyone else did too. was surprised with the outcome of the ratings, thought adam and his mildly catfishy profile would snatch the bottom spot or even secure a ticket home, but this only shows you truly have no fucking idea what the people at the other end of the screen are really thinking. my mind is a little blown, but i have to pick it up as soon as the next announcement pops up. nicky’s gonna... what now? immediately, i throw myself off the couch and start frantically tidying up around the living room and kitchen area, just in case he decides to visit me. it’d be nice to see him - i felt like we could’ve connected. after doing my quickest clean-up routine yet, i plop back down onto the couch and... wait. what feels like hours of me nervously playing with my fingers, in reality is no more than a couple of minutes. and eventually, i heard the knock on the door. for the fourth time within an hour and a half i jump off the couch like a feral cat. “come in!” and now it’s time to pretend i’m not absolutely shitting myself. i hear them come in, waiting, frozen in one spot on the carpet until they speak. my jaw drops. this is not what i imagined nicky would sound like but it’s not until the woman walks in that i let out a full-blown shriek. 

“oh-” a hand moves up to cover the mouth. “my god!” she bursts into laughter that only intensifies when she gives the girl a once-over. “bro, you brought the toaster!” already jogging towards the other, bony arms wrapping around her figure. “hi! oh my god!” pulls away but laughs the second she looks at the girl again. “how are you?!” and more importantly:  “who are you? oh my god-” looks like she’s got a new favorite phrase. “sit down! do you want sprite?”

NICKY HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM THE CIRCLE! BUT BEFORE HE LEAVES, HE CAN MEET ONE PLAYER FACE TO FACE. 

NICKY IS ON HIS WAY TO MEET ONE OF YOU NOW!

[circlemuses]

THE BLOCKING

FELIX: Hey everyone 💖 I wanted start off by saying that by no means was this easy for us. All of you seem like genuinely nice people we'd love to get to know more but after some back and forth, it came down to what we thought would be the fairiest decision in the situation. Thus, the reason we've chosen to block this player is solely based on their placement in the ratings.

FELIX: So the player we've decided to block is...

FELIX: Nicky

[ NICKY HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM THE CIRCLE ]

[circlemuses]

THE INFLUENCERS HAVE MADE THEIR DECISION. ALL PLAYERS MUST GO TO THE CIRCLE CHAT. 

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: Brother, go for it! you’ve gotten me through this.

FELIX: Yikes, okay, here goes nothing  😰 Thank you for the chat and once again congratulations on the spot! See you on the other side 💕😘

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I don’t think I’m okay with voting anybody out but I know we have to chose somebody. I feel like Nicky might be the fairest option. I just want to rip the bandaid off! I’m good if you are?

FELIX: Sis, I’m with you there. It’s the name of the game, but damn, does it suck 😖  FELIX: But it looks like we’ve come to a decision. Would you like to deliver the news or shall I? 

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: that’s really interesting! I’m little surprised because he gave me very ‘here for the fun of it’ vibes. at least if we vote Nicky out it won’t look tactical… he’s at the bottom of the board and it might just be the fairest choice while also taking out a competitor. What do you think?

FELIX: It’s what I thought, too, but I guess he’s been rubbing people the wrong way? Girl, this is tough, but it looks like the safest option right now. Are you okay with it? ❤️

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I really haven’t formed much of an opinion of her yet. She’s nice enough (but so does everybody so far). She’s are biggest competition and that feels like a big con for me too. Watta about Nicky and Danika? They have similar vibes but did so differently in the vote?

FELIX: I agree, but my worry is that if we get rid of a threat so early in the game, the other players might see us as really strategic and therefore not trust us moving forward. Speaking of Nicky and Danika, I was a surprised by their spots in the ratings. I haven’t had a chat with Danika yet so I haven’t formed an opinion. She seems like a cool girl, but I’ve heard suspicions she might be a catfish?? As for Nicky... I had a chat with him earlier today where I felt like he was coming on a little too strong. I think he’s here to play the game HARD, which concerns me a little.. 

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I thought it was a little strange too since he’s engaged as well! But I guess some people just aren’t into it. But he doesn’t mention his fiancée at all in his bio? He seems nice enough though. I don’t think he’s a threat… that’s a good plan. One con and one pro each. I don’t think we have all night! Lol

FELIX: I noticed that too! Maybe he’s trying not to give everything away on the first day #TallDarkandMysterious... either way I agree that he seems like a nice guy. Should we put him as a ‘maybe’ for now?  FELIX: On another note, what are your thoughts on Elodie? I like her energy and think she comes across very sweet and genuine. She seems like a good person to keep around. The only con I can find for her is that she was rated high, so she could possibly be a threat..

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: I believe in us 🙌 is there anybody you suspect might not be who they’re saying they are? If that makes sense lol 😂

FELIX: The only person who’s made me wonder so far is Adam because of the icebreaker game yesterday... however, I also don’t wanna be blocking people solely based on how many nudes they’ve sent throughout their life 😂 What do you think, shall we have a rundown of everyone where we list our pros and cons? 🧐

[circlemuses]

cylchmuses​:

CHANNEL: Well, thank you kind sir. The blue suits you smashingly 🥰 I still my vomit from the nerves 🤢 Can’t quite believe it yet. How are you feeling?

FELIX: Why thank you, you’re too kind #MatchingForProm 👯 And same, this is absolutely crazy but I’m glad to be sitting here with you. It’s gonna be tough but I trust we’ll try to make the fairest decision 🙏
