"I started calling everyone by their full names as a joke" i wish we had seen that oh my god
smqllrose Ikrrrr why didn’t they show that
Yeah but how did he know there full name ????
Mila Adams It was probably on their profiles
were you ever afraid to fart in the circle because of the cameras/camera crew and editors being able to see and hear? 😂
Freddie farted alot!!
Question: What happens if both influencers can not come to a unanimous decision?
Clark Wilcox that’s a great question! I’d assume production would say ok the one w the least votes that you two picked is gone.
I assume they just stay there until someone gives
Actually, that has happened. On The Circle USA what happened was that both influencers could only save 2 people both. The one not ‘saved’ is going home.
@@santiagoreyes4188 which season was this? I watched all the USA episodes.
@@extrashotofespresso_ I'm not sure what he's referring to but I did see on season 3 when Nick and James were secret influencers I believe they deliberated for 6 HOURS! (this was from a UA-cam comment so take it with a grain of salt.)
What was the hardest thing about adjusting back to normal life after a month in isolation when you did the show?
what if an alert or game/private invite happens when youre in the shower or going to the toilet? do they wait for you to finish or just continue?
I'm guessing with all the people watching the contestants, they make sure no one is on the toilet or showering before sending an alert.
Obviously there was somebody typing out what you were saying Alex lmao
There's no voice system in the world that would understand "Okay that, but, like, capitalise the first two letters and put a half winking emoji".
Not only that, but I actually saw spelling errors that could only have been man-made. Surprised you didn't pick up on it.
Does the circle ever mess up what you tell it to type
bruh corcaigher daddy
I'm curious if they will ever do an All Stars where they can Catfish as Past Players, but in actuality are a completely different All Star pretending to be them. LOL
I feel like as soon as the first person is blocked though and visits someone else the secret would be out that everyone is catfishing
@@realitytime543 everyone?, They wouldn't do that lol
Are you paid for being in there? Or are you kept there just by the incentive of the prize money
Paid weekly. This is true for all reality tv shows where people are voted out. Including big brother, survivor, the biggest loser, etc. They are paid pretty well too depending on how famous the show is. Survivor and big brother contestants get around $1-2k every week they are on the show. Celebrity big brother is different. The celebs in that show get a flat rate for being on the show based on how famous they are. I heard Omarosa received somewhere around a million to be on the show.
@@jojolerner113 Never knew this but it makes sense as you'd have to at least compensate people to make up for the wages/work they're missing
I noticed The Circle chat types what you say, so it spells automatically, correct? Why then was Kate aka Jay in this current series so worried about how to spell some of the words involving builders terminology? I would think she could just say the word and The Circle would autospell it.
Katie*
I thought this
There’s someone behind the scenes typing out everything the contestants say
@@emilierapportmunro7595 no shit
Emilie Rapport no. I read about this. The circle’s software was built so that no one would have to do that. There’s no one typing what they say.
Do you wish that your series had as many twists as the current one (e.g the eggs, jack and Beth becoming joyce, secret influencer) or would you prefer the formulaic approach your series had?
I feel when he talked about when people had their down time he was talking about Freddie or Scotty
I literally thought the exact same people 😂
On his ig story he asked this question he was with Freddie and Freddie said yes 3 times
😂😂😂 I thought same
x-men lol yeah Freddie admitted on Alex’s story the other day that he did haha!
is there a limit of how long you can have a conversation with someone as they dont seem to last very long at all when shown
Jasmine Jackson he said it is limited in his last video
I love hearing all the behind the scenes info! Two things I've wondered about: did you get told beforehand you were going to be one of the first 8 players going in? Also, was going in as Kate your idea from the start or did you discuss your options with the producers during casting?
Jessica Kent I had my idea before I auditioned... all me !
@@AlexHobern ...and you auditioned to be a catfish? It must be a complicated process for the producers. Presumably they also interviewed Millie? Then there's copyright for all of the profile photos.
I guess Sammie, Joyce etc are most likely to actually be someone on the production team.
How long did the conversations about who to block generally take?
When a player is blocked and walks through the corridor to meet another player, is the corridor the real one or fake?
Chloe Gill it’s fake, when I was watching it the corridors that are filmed are bright blue, but if you look at the doors when players open them to visit the corridor is a completely diff colour.
Yeah and I noticed the door hinges sometimes changed sides as well
Loving these vids Alex. Great insight! A question if you do a part 3:
After you came out of the circle, with your new found game, how did you find seeing all the comments about you on Twitter etc? Were there some comments/insults that you found really hard to take and was there any discoveries about yourself you made under the unfiltered scrutiny of millions of people?
Keep up the great work pal.
Fantastic last couple of videos. Keep up the good work
Awesome Alex glad to get a bigger insight into The Circle 😎👍
Killing it dude. Keep up the content :)
I love these vids so much!! ♥️
Really enjoyed watching this video, spot on with all the psychological things in there. Everything you said makes perfect sense, you played it the best when you did, which is why you won, and you totally deserved the win ! I wonder who will win this year ?? You are right though, everyone is concentrating too much on who the catfishes are, instead of getting them onside.
How did it feel being in isolation for so long to then suddenly thrust live on tv with a room packed full of people
How much of a delay was there between you talking and the words appearing on the circle TV?
I could not go weeks without rubbing one out lmao Especially when there's nothing else to do in that house and my ADHD brain needing constant stimulation xD I'd be like "Sorry guys, imma just hide under the blankets for a few minutes, please turn off the mic" lmao
Can you give us any tips on auditioning for people who are thinking about auditioning for future seasons?
Do people have specific days to go on the roof, or is it specific times?
Love the videos and thanks for sharing.
How long did the casting process last and during that time did you interact with or gain any knowledge about any potential players who didn't make the show?
Is there a rule preventing players to agree to an alliance in order to split the winnings?
There was an alliance in season 2 sis
They go in week before and don't know who other players are so how would that work
@@YOYOKE64 I meant having a conversation agreeing to split the money in the course of dialogue once they’re in the circle. I know an alliance (Circle of Trust) was formed in S2) but they didn’t agree to split winnings.
You and Freddie going back in would be a dream come true I hope they do that someday
First comment again! I love you and your videos alex♥️ keep it up! Question: if you went back in time or went in the circle again what would you change?
Sadie Arundell thanks Sadie !!
I noticed the hallways aren’t blue when the camera looks at the front door so do they make you go to the slow mo hallway before you go wherever?
Does the user interface for the circle look the same as it does on the tv episodes? or do you look at a green screen? How fast does it react to what you say?
So...they'd all be looking at a green screen? How would they know what everyone else was saying?
@@TeaSquiffy2 Audio only, I'd imagine designing and operating the software would be expensive
Aaron Woitas
But they comment on what they see...
@@TeaSquiffy2 I just think regardless of what they see, there's almost no way it's as fleshed out as what we see on tv.
@@aaronwoitas1844 It would take so much time, effort and money to CGI their tv screens every night for 3 and a half weeks. Its so much easier just to make a program that lets people talk to one another.
Do you think Woody wasted his power by taking out 'Joyce' who had no chance of winning anyway? Would you have taken out someone else and who would that be?
I do a bit yeah
I wish he'd gone for Sammie or Georgina
That's a difficult question as he didn't get to choose who he was going to block beforehand.
I didn’t realise that it would remain a secret who the secret influencer was. If it were to become public, you wouldn’t want to be the one taking out one of the most popular players.
I know you asked Alex this but I would like to add my two sense because I find this show absolutely incredible from a game and tactical point of view absolutely woody should have gone for the big fish but then you have to consider the player woody is not playing that type of game!so should the public have chosen someone more savage like Sammie yes but I am glad they didn't I want to see someone win that is raising people up rather than dragging people down! So I think we know whom are bringing people up and dragging people down! I thought this about Freddie and Kate last year Kate played smart and did not really bad mouth anyone but Freddie was brutal absolute savage keyboard warrior lol and i is funny how they are mates in real life!lol has to be Tim for the win for me because he is the best player in a nice way Sammie is the villian!some people go for the villian like the karate kid a lot of people loved Johnny not me I know I varied from the topic but boy i could talk about this show all night great cast great show!!!!
Part 3!
what would happen if you had to evacuate the building cause of a fire or something. how would they have got you out safe without seeing the other contestants or would you see each other?
Philip Rowley that’s such a good question
Philip Rowley great question
I feel like at that point the show wouldn’t really matter haha xx
thats a interesting question ! maybe everyone is blindfolded haha
The chances of a fire getting out of control with all the crew and cameras 24/7 can't be too high!
I'm sure there must be also sorts of emergency plans / risk assessments as there'd be for any business. A lot will probably be down to selecting a suitable building in the first place.
I just finished watching s1 and I really wanted you to win! I reckon Dan gave you the win as he gave you 5 stars. Congrats! You truly deserved it. Cheers from 🇵🇭
Hi Alex, really enjoying this sneaky peek behind the scenes. My question: are the doors locked? Otherwise, what’s to stop you opening them whenever you hear movement outside?
of course there is a person in a control room, you cannot speak like that to a voice activated system
I laughed out loud when you mentioned which books you brought with you....OUCH
You was great on the circle and happy for you
Do you prefer the way they do the ratings this year? As it seems fairer than last year?
Thank you for these very interesting videos. I have so many questions :)
Are there things that you know about the production that you are not allowed to talk about?
Are the players at any point directed, eg to be more vocal or repeating sentences?
Are there many chats that aren’t broadcast?
If it really is so boring being in the circle, why aren’t you/they chatting all the time? Are there limits to how many chats they can have?
And finally: I hope it’s fair to say that you won series one largely because Dan didn’t vote tactically. How would you change the final to secure the most fair winner?
Your series was so much better to be honest! 😇
My question is: Would you ever get told off by any of the producers and if so how would they do it?
Also on a side note- If you had to a give up your win to ANY person in your series who would it be
Lol thank you for immediately answering the question of the black “CIRCLE” around your 👁. Pun intended 😂
Can you do a video comparing your season to the American one? I would love to hear all the differences
Who would you like to see win this year
can you listen to any chosen music or is only the ones The Circle plays?
I am just about to put my application in for series 3
Are you and Kate still together?
Yes they are if you look at the videos of the pair of them on his channel
The last thumbnail I see of them together was 10 months ago
They haven’t been on each others insta posts since start of summer :( x
Except Kate was made up name for the Circle..
*Millie
can you tell us more about the audition process please? :)
Thanks!
What was the application process like and how long before the show started did you find out you’d be going in?
Hey Alex was a big fan last year the show is so interesting one of the best to watch keeps u entertained! I have two questions one do you get to listen to music in the circle? And secondly would you have any idea on how Joyce aka Beth and Jack where briefed on how they could live together?cause there appeared to be rules like they could not share a bed!and finally can you do a video on the dynamic of Sammie vrs Tim in is turning out to be an incredible game of chess it's like a bond movie with Sammie as the villian except Tim has the cat lol.sammie is making the show and is an incredible player yet on the other side of the coin Tim is a wonderful player I have taken to heart ,would like to see u do a video on how the game is playing out! You where a fantastic contestant and worthy winner!
When we are shown the blocked players to meet another player along the corridor after they have been blocked, is that filmed after as there are so many different angles from both infront and behind without having the other camera in shot?
Hi Alex, would like to know, when a player was blocked and they got the chance to visit another player, does someone show you the way or don’t you know because it never happened to you. You are such a likeable chap and you were always my choice on the circle ⭕️
Is there a bedtime and is there some sort of alarm to wake you up or you sleep whenever and wake up whenever
How far in advance do you know your going on the show (to book time off work, etc)? And, can you tell your friends your going on it (and why you won’t be available for up to three weeks) or does it have to be just your close family?
When sending a message did you have to read it back for the cameras or is it really as smoothly spoken first time as it looks??
Tom Clark sometimes you can see that they’re reading it back because you can see the paragraph or whatever fully typed out
Alex, I'm looking at applying for the circle any tips?
How did the typing work, was there a delay
what time do u have to be awake in the morning ?
What happens the day(s) before the final, after the final dinner? Do you go back to your apartments again back to TheCircle or is it over and into lockdown?
My question is how do they make sure the players don’t recognise each other or do they just hope for the best? Like if someone went in and saw the photo of someone they follow on Instagram for example but it’s a different name so they know for sure it’s a catfish
Mmmm, there'd be copyright issues over the photos anyway, so I guess they pay some attention to where they come from. I suppose there's always a remote chance, but couldn't it actually be a good thing for the program?
Woody sort of dropped a few hints and if you'd listened to his mum's radio progs you'd have certainly have heard his name more than once!
Hillary Trump i think it would have been fine in Woodys case if someone recognised him tbh. I’m imagining something like Alex going in as Kate, but someone random who went to school with his gf was in there too and knows her name isn’t Kate, so it would be game over for Alex on day 1 lmao. There must be something in place to try and prevent it but I can’t imagine how
while in the hangout could you hear the other player as you are very close to them and in the next room?
Was there any restrictions on what you could have for your food shopping?
Any tips for potential contestants? Or ideas for coping in the circle?
If you wanted to chat to someone whilst their lights are out, will it say you can’t chat?
how do you know which player's door to knock on when you've been blocked and go to visit someone? are the doors labled with the players' names?
I guess you Just Tell the staff and they Guide you
What are your instructions before going in. Are you shown how to react to some things, what to expect, and how to use the circle chat?
When you did all of the things they gave you (puzzles, books, etc.) did they give you new ones to use while in there?
Are ALL the corridors linking rooms really lit up for the slow mo walk? Or is there just one corridor they have to walk along for effect
Do you think the player rating system in season 1 or season 2 is better? (Season 1 each player voted the others out of 5 - season 2 the plays ranked the others 1st to last)
Could you message anyone at anytime or do you have to wait to be told when you can chat to someone? Emelle said in a podcast that she wanted to talk to tim but they said no, and you also had to request to talk to someone and what you wanted to talk to them about then the producers would tell you if you could message them. Is that different to last year?
I saw a picture of the control room on Twitter last year and there was a producer typing things out, so I think the system isn’t voice activated (think about how many times our phones get it wrong when dictating text)
Question: What did you have to take with you in order to live in The Circle? Personal possessions or watches etc?
What happens between meeting the players face to face and the live final
Show? Do you spend the time inbetween with the other plays or go back into isolation on your own?
Bit of a weird question (inspired by your point about calling everyone by their full names) - did the Kate character have a surname, and if so what was it? I think Christopher's was Arthur-Stanley.
were there certain times to have a private chat to people or could you chat to anyone at any time
Did you do your own housekeeping i.e vacuuming, etc or was it all done while you are on a fresh air break/ gym.
bd dale he answered this already , everything is done for them while they in hangout, gym etc
How Long Did It Take For The Rating Results To Be Completed?
do you ever get to see the camera crew in your flat etc besides when they film you walking to another player's flat?
How can we see the UK version of the show
Did you ever talk about movies with other players in The Circle, e.g. favourite ones, bad ones, old ones, new ones etc?
Do you get to keep anything from the room you stayed in as a souvenir or just for the crack?
Are you told when other players are asleep?? Just thinking of this series where paddy and sammie were talking whilst everyone else was asleep like how did they know they’d be up 👀
I know this never happened to you but you might know, when your blocked and you go visit someone are you given directions and room numbers to each individual room or are you directed by people working on set?
I feel like it definitely was not a voice activated because they would one an emoji and show what it looks like without even saying one emoji at it and on the circle America, a player named Chris kept looking over a lot either somebody was looking at him
he chose my question :D wish we got to see him calling people by their full names
When a catfish is blocked and goes to meet another player, is that player allowed to reveal to the others it was a catfish or do you have to wait until the video message reveal?
Question... I watched the circle us Netflix series and got curious about the uk season. So, I watched a compilation of the catfish moments and something strange stuck out to me.. the decor and room layout and even size and location of furniture is exactly the same as the other.. so.. I'm confused by that
Amber Kay yeah it was all shot in the UK in the same building. The bought the American cast over here.
Did being on the circle make you not want to use your phone as much? Like did you get used to not having any technology ?
How often did you receive any sort of gift/supply
What’s your most memorable moment from the circle? Ps such a lad, gassed the circle up so much 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Couple questions: The building looks huge, is anyone else living there? 2) Is the building on a public street? can you see people outside etc? 3) Could you just walk out of your apartment if you wanted? 4) were you allowed any contact with friends or family during the show?
Which rating systems works better and why? Do you have a better idea of how the rating system could work?
Can you listen to music in the apartments when you want or only when the team decide?
Does the voice activation thing always get it right or does it just look like that on camera, when I use Siri it never gets it right and I’m so jealous lol
There is no voice activation thing, the texts are transcribed by producers.
How long can a blocked player visit someone face to face. Is there a time limit?
which rating system do you think is better? the stars or ranking?
