Every season of The Circle we see the OGs form an alliance and kick the newbies to the curb every blocking, but this time the relative newbies aligned themselves to big players and worked their way to the top ratings.

I’m going to go over some big moments in the game and show how I would have done things differently.

I would have entered the game as myself and laid low for the first night. While people want to show out and be friendly to gain connection, I think getting rated high amongst the players the first night puts a target on your back. Like Kai, throughout the season have been referred too as a big competitor since she got the number one spot night one. People have worked against her and any alliance she made since.

After the first blocking, I would have immediately start making connection and trying to build alliances through friendship or flirting. I would have teamed up with the girls and make sure we had each other back, while trying to get in with some of the guys, so I cover all bases.

The Circle have many challenges and twists. They are meant to start drama amongst the player. No one trusts a person who constantly give a vague answer, so I would have sweeten my delivery and hid my true intentions.

At the midway point, I would have solidify an alliance and together, we would’ve sought after the new players to have the numbers and start targeting after everyone else. Essentially, taking a page from Nick’s book.

As I make my way to the top of the rating, I wouldn’t use my influencer position similar to James. He has a great social game, but he sent home two people from his alliance willingly. I do not get his gameplay with that, while he got himself a spot in the finale. He basically handed Nick the win because everyone left in the game is in Nick’s alliance and will vote James low in the ratings.

I would have made sure to keep everyone in my alliance and make sure I’m in top rating with everyone by having deep conversation and a different connection with all of them. Using these strategies, I would’ve made my way to the finale and secured myself a win.
