Neither man can stomach blocking longtime players over a newbie, and James is sent to deliver the news in person.

When the time comes to decide who to block, unfortunately for Jacki, her days were always numbered. Pulling in the highest ratings twice is impressive for anyone, but for it to happen to this pair twice in a row? Simply unheard of. Once again, power players James and Nick are made influencers, this time pitting the two against each other anonymously. The Circle loves to keep players in a state of overwhelming paranoia, and for that, we thank her! In the final blocking before the finale, the two influencers are kept a secret - even to each other. Who knows how convinced the players actually are by his goodbye message, but Isabella lives to see another day - and maybe thatвЂ™s DanielвЂ™s doing! Okay, youвЂ™re right, probably not. After visiting Isabella and meeting the real Sophia, Daniel is instantly drawn to her and tries to throw the remaining players off her catfishy scent. Because of this connection, James ultimately decides to drop Daniel, hoping that Nick will reward him by saving Kai if the opportunity presents itself.ДЄlthough getting blocked crushes poor DanielвЂ™s little heart, you know he doesnвЂ™t leave without stirring the pot on the way out. But in the time between his conversation with Daniel and the blocking, James opened himself to Ashley, chatting about his relationship with his trans brother.

Nick obviously doesnвЂ™t want to get rid of Ashley, and James promised to keep Kai and Daniel safe. The decision comes down to Ashley or Daniel. She connects with James the most (or perhaps the quickest), and it seems like her addition to Viva La Revolution is going to keep these four players safe through the endgame.Д«ut at the next ratings, James and Nick are crowned influencers, and with both men pushing to eliminate someone outside of their alliance, somebody eventually has to give. But Jacki has walked into a war and is unwittingly the dividing line between The Band and the poorly named вЂњViva La RevolutionвЂќ alliance of Kai, James, and Daniel. The other players are quick to jump in Circle Chat and flood her feed with compliments, trying to gain the numbers advantage for their alliance. Of all the new players added at different points of this season, Jacki immediately has the most stacked against her. But just to keep everyone on their toes, The Circle introduces the final player, Jacki, a #GamerGirl from Los Angeles. Jackson becomes the first true catfish ousted from the game, allowing Isabella and Ashley to breathe a little easier in the coming days. After a double blocking eliminates Ruksana (who was working alongside Kai, Daniel, and James) and Jackson (a catfish aligned with Nick, Ashley, and Isabella), the numbers are once again even on both sides. In the final four episodes before the finale next week, clear lines are drawn in the sand between the two major alliances.
