‘The Circle Brazil’ is a reality competition show that follows nine contestants as they live in the same building and perform various challenges to be crowned the most popular “influencer” and take home, a cash prize of $300,000.00 Brazilian reals ($64,500 U.S.). However, the contestants are restricted from communicating face to face and can only interact with each other via their digital profiles on an eponymous social media app. Also, they are even allowed to pose as a catfish, i.e., adopt any fake identity on their online profile.

As Marina and Lorayne were selected as the most popular contestants, they unanimously decide to block Julia out of the game. Frustrated and disappointed, Julia, who is actually Rob, decides to confront Marina and chooses her apartment. Everyone is supremely nervous, especially Marina who hides under the table. However, Julia melts down seeing Marina and reveals to her that Julia is actually his daughter’s name.
Meanwhile, Gaybol gets a full strike at likes as everyone follows a political strategy to avoid shooting themselves in the foot. Akel continues to flirt with Lorayne, who is kind of suspicious about his intentions. The contestants freak out after receiving Julia’s video message where he reveals his identity as Rob, especially JP who has been smitten with Julia all this time.

Towards the end of the episode, a new contestant enters the show – Rayssa, a 22-yr-old Drum Queen from a samba school in Manaus, much to everyone’s mutual dismay.
