Ella telling Georgina that he was messaging COT bragging while the influencers were away has definitely turned her.
Irrelevant tbh because I think it's only public votes now which means Tim will win (although maybe Woody will get close).
James bottom because the world surely thinks he's a dick Paddy nextThen Georgina for being easily led but almost with a good heartWoody second Tim wins
Woody's message from home was weird because it implied his parents were together but they split up 3 or 4 years ago iirc

is it really public votes? we need the catharsis of georgina turning on sammie
― imago, Thursday, 17 October 2019 22:30 (four years ago) link
i kind of wanted ella to win the whole thing so i'm miffed
wonder what georgina said to win tim around
I didn't really take to Ella but there wasn't anything *wrong* with her.
I'm sure it's public votes. Or is that just the last three? Struggling to remember last year.

there's going to be one more blocking before the final four? C4 have a goddamn job on their hands if they want sammie to survive it though
idk, maybe they will just rate each other to decide the winner. last time it was marks out of 5 but that was a shit method. they should have to rank again

i guess marks out of 5 was a sort of torturous integrity test but the mechanics of it were so horrid
alex and dan quoting each other's tweets nowadays though - presumably alex did something nice with the money

Split is £70k on each other's ratings, £30k on public vote.
So... Georgina will win the ratings money as the only one one in both groups? Or more probably split it with Paddy?
Sammie votes P>G>W>TPaddy votes S>G>T>WTim votes W>G>P>SWoody votes T>G>P>S
Which makes the numbers
G 12P 8T 7W 7S 7
Georgina likely to vote P>T>W>S maybe based on Ella ruining it for Sammie. If she marks Paddy down because he's part of the scheme before it came to her (so for all she knows he could be Grima Wormtongue in the COT) then she keeps it all to herself. But that probably assumes too much of her.

Georgina absolutely does not deserve to win and her winning would be a victory for meanness. Hope Woody and Tim mark her the fuck down tbh
― imago, Friday, 18 October 2019 12:09 (four years ago) link
Sammie could also vote Georgina down having piggiebacked to the final lol
― imago, Friday, 18 October 2019 12:11 (four years ago) link
Making Paddy the winner, which is maybe even less palatable.

There could be one more blocking before the final final stage of course...

True, in which case it needs to be Sammie to change the outcome.

I don't think Georgina is mean, but I think she's very easily influenceable. Sammie and Paddy are definitely mean though. I still like Tim as a person even after the Thatcher reveal, but I'm much much less enthusiastic about him. Sadly I'm out tonight so I'll miss the final.

To be honest, I don't like Ella or Woody that much either, but at least they're not maniacal Napoleons.

I feel like Georgina would have bullied me at school, or at least reminds me too strongly of similar characters. I like Woody the best by far, but I don't love the message of him winning The Circle unless as I suggested before, he is overcome with admiration for Sammie's cause and donates the money to that. Tim would be a lovely winner I suppose - I liked when he said he was as poor as a church doormouse!
Sammie's blinkered frenzy shouldn't be rewarded, but also I find him a particularly tragic character and I am amazed he passed the screening for this process. I hope that the post-Circle therapy they apparently all get is of some great use to him.

This is too much for my heart. Poor Tim - I hope he's okay!
