The UK sensation The Circle is officially a US sensation after the Netflix premiere with wanna-be influencers use the internal social media platform to climb the ranks toward $100,000. And thankfully, in the process, we get to see what all of us are really like behind the screen when we send and receive messages anonymously on social media platforms of our own. And then, there’s the catfishing, and honey child, that’s a whole other show but it’s also here.
Because things are so jam-packed in the show and everything is about curating the perfect image for the contestants to win the grand prize, we peeked into the real profiles of the Instagram contestants to learn more about them.

The girl wasn’t a big hit with the other Circle contestants much, but she mentioned the TV show made her out to be someone she’s not. She maintains her love for tacos and posts mostly her modeling photos. Judging by her enormous following and engagement, she knows how to navigate the social media space.
