Based on the British show of the same name, The Circle is an American reality competition. In the show, players live in different flats of the same building, cut off from the world and unable to interact face-to-face. However, they communicate through a special social media app.
The players can present a fake version of themselves through the app to gain leverage in the competition, a tactic known as catfishing. Contestants are then rated based on how well they present themselves to others.
