Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for The Circle season 4.
The Circle just wrapped up its fourth season on Netflix, and this iteration of the popular reality TV competition was sillier, more dramatic, more surprising, and more fun than ever, with a lovable, crowd-pleasing winner.
As with every season of The Circle, most of the players competed solo, which means they were sequestered alone in their apartments with no human . Part of the show's fun is how the isolation makes the players more than a little silly at times. It's the engine that drives so much of the comedy.
When Crissa Immediately Danced On The Table
Crissa brought positive energy to the show from the very beginning, and she wasn't afraid to show it. In one of the first moments viewers see of her in her apartment, she is on the table dancing her heart out and squealing about being on The Circle.
It's the first of many times that Crissa feels right at home and lets her excitement and nervous energy shine. She also slinks down off the couch when she's overwhelmed with emotion not long after. It's always fun and hilarious to watch a player enjoy themselves to the point of doing something like dancing on a table.
When The Spice Girls Talked To Mel B's Dog
Even though Emma and Mel B played together in their apartment, they still needed some extra company. Both of them did a lot of talking with Mel B's dog, Cookie, throughout the season.
It's lovely both because the Spice Girls are hilarious in everything they do on this show, and because it is so very relatable. Certainly many viewers felt connected to Mel B and Emma as they lovingly talked to Mel B's dog. It seems Cookie did a great job of keeping them company since they achieved their goal in the end.
When Frank Used A Chair To Block The Door
Frank had some of the funniest one-liners this season. Comedy gold seems to effortlessly come from his mouth all the time. To accompany this trait of his, he also takes hilarious action.
When it's time for an in-person elimination visit, Frank is terrified and doesn't want anyone to come in his room, and probably doesn't like the idea of being sneaked up on either, so he barricades his door with a chair. It seems so obvious too, like another player would have thought of it before, but Frank is all original. It's even funnier in retrospect since he really wants visitors later on.
When Bru Performed A Concert For His Plants
Being a radio personality, Bru is a creative spirit, which definitely comes out when it comes to keeping himself entertained. It's not enough for Bru to pull out the guitar, he needs an audience.
Anything anyone does on The Circle is made funnier when host Michelle Buteau comments on it, and she chimes in about Bru playing a concert for his plants. Sure enough, they were assembled all around him, ready for the performance of a lifetime. Bru even talked to them to, providing a personalized concert experience.
When Rachel Built Creepy Clay Figures And Spoke To Them
The Circle seems to give contestants certain items to keep them entertained since they can't have their phones. They're given jigsaw puzzles, pens and pads, and sometimes players seem to have art supplies such as clay. In season 4, a bored Rachel really puts her clay to creative use.
At one point, she builds clay figures and then she narrates to herself saying, "that's the cutest s--- I've ever seen." While her arts and crafts work is relatively OK, it may not be the cutest thing ever. It seems to be a sign that Rachel is trying to build her own friends while by herself. At least she seems to like them.
When John Talked To A Picture Of His Mom
John is a pretty decent mama's boy since he makes it pretty far while playing his mom, Carol. He certainly does seem to miss her at times throughout the show.
He has a picture of his mom that he keeps with him there, which is nice, but then he talks to it a lot, which can be creepy. While it may give Norman Bates vibes to some, it's ultimately hilarious to watch John sit and sip tea while spending quality time with his framed picture and giving her all the details.
When Eversen Made His Pecs Dance
When it's time for The Circle finale, Eversen clearly seems to have had the isolation get to him a little, even though he hasn't been there quite as long as the other players.
Being alone in the apartment is probably very different from being in close quarters with a lot of people while cruising. Eversen makes his pecs dance while making a joke about speaking in Morse code with them. It's incredibly funny while also raising the question: Could a Circle message be typed this way?
When Frank Danced With The Wall Decoration On Like A Top
In perhaps the funniest moment of season 4 of The Circle altogether, the show cuts to reveal The Circle fan favorite Frank in his apartment with a woven wall hanging dangling from his neck as he wears it like a top and shimmies with all his might.
Frank makes it very clear with his arrival into The Circle that he is the life of the party. He wants to convey this to others with his picture of himself drinking tequila on a boat, and he brings party energy throughout the entire season, so it's no wonder that Frank threw himself his own party with the decor and made his own music.
When Rachel Hula Hooped With Her Neck
Rachel is an absolute joy to watch in The Circle season 4. She wears her heart on her sleeve the entire game and forms some really strong bonds which ultimately help her make it to the finale.
She brilliantly chooses the beautiful under the sea party along with Bru and shortly after finds herself hula hopping while Circle messaging. While it's a normal action, it's really funny to see her simply hula hooping to keep herself entertained and then keeping it up while Circle messaging and the ultimately choosing to let it slowly fall down the entire way.
When Bru Talked To Rubber Ducks
Bru has a knack for talking, as evidenced by his career in radio and his related success on TikTok and Instagram. So it's no wonder that he finds himself doing a lot of talking on The Circle.
When there aren't people around to talk to, Bru seems perfectly comfortable talking to inanimate objects, which many people tend to do in their everyday lives and would surely do more of if they were isolated like Bru. He talks to his rubber duckies whether they are with him in the bath, the hot tub, or anywhere else he feels the need for chit-chat.
