- My screen name at "The Circle" would be squirtgirl33.
(both laugh)
SquirtBae.
- Mine would be- - Squirtflop.
- Hamhole69.
(Katya laughs)
- Ham hole? Ham hole?
(upbeat music)
Hi, I'm Trixie Mattel.
- And I'm Katya.
- And we are two queens who like to watch.
- We certainly do love to watch, in fact.
And here we are again, watching The (beep)ing Circle.
(Katya laughs)
Huh!
(upbeat music)
- [Trixie] Spoilers ahead.
- A circle is a shape that is a continuous line
bent to infinity.
- I loved "The Circle" season one.
- It was truly wild and unhinged.
- It's a social experiment.
It's a competition of catfishing.
And the winner gets a $100,000.
- What is the point of the show?
- They will nominate somebody to get eliminated each episode
based on, really, any criteria.
- Oh.
So you just have to be the most likable.
- It's a popularity contest.
I want to see it, let's roll the tapes.
Let's start season two.
(hands clap)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Lee.
I've written 39 books as a female pen name.
- [Katya] Oh my God.
- I love it.
- Professional catfish.
- Danielle Steel.
- Yeah, Danielle Steel.
- This is Danielle Steel.
I'm here to Danielle "steal" the competition.
(Katya laughs)
- River is recently single,
so he's very heartbroken.
That way it'll keep me from having to flirt with anybody
because 32 years with one man-
- [Katya] Oh, he's gay?
- [Trixie] He is gay.
- [Katya] Oh, good for him.
- Technically an adult, but still a kid at heart.
- [Katya] I still (beep) in my pants
every once and a while.
(Katya laughs)
- I know that you're LGBTQ.
So, proud of my rainbow life?
- Oh boy. Oh boy.
Oh boy. Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Hey, Rainbow Brite, get back in here.
- Rainbow life?
- Nobody's got a rainbow life,
nobody's got one.
- That's not what gay people say.
- No, it sounds like a cereal.
- [Trixie] (beep) my rainbow life.
- What's good, my name is Deleesa.
I am 23, backwards.
- [Trixie] She's a joker.
(Trixie laughs)
- I am a mom.
And I'm from the boogie down Bronx.
- People from New York,
you'd never know they're from New York.
They never mention it.
- You would think
that somebody from that kind of city
would try to make it part of their personality,
they never do.
- They never do.
- It's so weird. - It's so weird.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, I'm Jack. I'm entering "The Circle"
as my friend Emily.
♪ Girls gotta do what a girls ♪
- Okay.
Big titty blonde.
- Easy to talk to, everyone's going to love her.
- I just think it's interesting
that so far, everyone thinks the opposite type of person
to them has it easier.
- Exactly.
- Girls have it easier.
- Guys have it easier.
- [Katya] Fathers are the best.
- [Jack] East coast girl
studying astronomy in the Windy City.
- [Trixie] Girl studying astrology,
that's you.
- Yay, hello.
West coast girl screaming astrology
(Trixie laughs)
While nude, covered in feces, that's her profile.
- [Trixie] Follow the blood.
- I'm here, Circle!
- Our next competitor might seem a little familiar
if you watch "Too Hot to Handle,"
the show where sexy celebs on a island
are told by the Alexa that you cannot (beep).
- This could be your bed.
- [Katya] Oh, I hate her.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm 21 and I'm from Essex!
- [Katya] Course she is.
- I'm from (beep)ing Essex!
- I am from Essex ya (beep).
Blimey!
- My way to win guys over is literally
having the puppies out.
(dog barks)
- [Trixie] I think she's got this in the bag.
- [Katya] She's true to herself.
- [Trixie] Which is apparently rare.
- It's going to be hard being Americans and all.
There might be a little bit of a language barrier there.
- [Trixie] I wouldn't call English to English a barrier.
- There's only about four words we say different.
- Fag is is one of them.
(Katya laughs)
- It's true.
- Come on lights, come on camera.
Come on action.
- [Katya] What the (beep)?
- Todrick.
- Todrick, yeah.
♪ Nails, hair, hips, heels ♪
- What's up everybody.
My name is Courtney.
I'm 28 years old.
I'm the entertainment host for a pop culture show
on the internet.
- If you work in entertainment, like he does,
saying you work in entertainment
would be the nail in the coffin immediately.
- Why?
- 'Cause people hate people in entertainment.
People hate us, especially you.
(Katya laughs)
(upbeat music)
All right, it's season two of "The Circle,"
you're on it, what are you fabricating?
- I would be Fiorella LaGuardia,
Italian American, 60 years old.
I appear about 25.
- Mm hm.
- All blurry photos.
And then everything says "Ciao, amore" at the end.
(speaking in foreign language)
- I think I would do Frederica Bimmel.
- Stuck in a well.
- Size 14.
- Yeah.
I do think I would pick somebody close to me
that's so ideal, but they're a real person,
so I don't want to have to lie,
'cause I'm not good at lying.
- Yes, I know that.
- So, lying if it's like
pretending to be someone who's real would be easier.
Or go big!
Pretend to be a celebrity.
- Julia Roberts.
- Aaron Carter.
(Katya laughs)
A huge a-lister.
- A huge a-lister, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Somebody nobody has access to.
(Katya laughs)
(upbeat music)
- So this challenge is like a poetry slam
and the contestants have to put on their Shakespeare attire
and try to rhyme their way to the top.
- I love things that rhyme.
- You do?
- I (beep)ing love it.
- [Narrator] Each one of them must write a poem
about an influencer in the hopes of staying in "The Circle."
- I don't think I would pull any guys in this outfit
in the club.
- Not doing that.
They look like two eggs with a sheet thrown over it.
- [Narrator] The remaining safe players will grade them.
- B.
- C and F
- I would pull out those paddles and be like,
"I know what this is supposed to be."
(Trixie moans)
And just start hitting myself over the ass
over and over again and get disqualified.
- Yeah.
- Choose me from the others and an ally you will make,
when we get back to L.A. I'll bake you a cake!
- [Katya] F.
- [Trixie] Rotted.
- [Katya] I mean it rhymed though.
- Yeah, I got to gas his ass up, give him a A.
- [Katya] Oh, people are trying to play nice at first.
- I'd be in there rolling a cigarette, I don't even smoke,
(Katya laughs)
And I'd be like, that was rotted.
Honestly. What's lower than an F?
I'd write an E.
That was awful, you have to stay after class.
- Like an onion I got layers.
- I could be one of your favorite players!
- I could be one of your favorite players.
- Circle, message.
A servant's pain.
- [Trixie] Oh no.
- [Katya] Oh Lord.
- He didn't include anything he learned about me.
I'm going to give him a C.
- [Trixie] Werk.
- He didn't talk about my breasts, my boobs, or my titties,
F.
- If "The Circle" has already cured his heart's disease
then maybe it's time for him to go.
(Katya laughs)
- Honey, if you don't have heart disease,
you can't be here.
- Bye (beep).
- I'm in trouble.
- That's me when I post a picture
and it gets less than 50,000 likes in the first hour.
I'm in trouble.
- Why did I have to flop so hard?
(upbeat music)
- The contestants are about to make pancakes
in the shape of an animal that best represents themselves.
I'm starting to think these people are in kindergarten.
- I was going to say,
this sounds like early childhood education.
We've got poetry, animal snacks.
What's next, a nap?
- They're not normal like us.
(both laugh)
Let's see the kindergartners making their pancakes.
- And he is a gay fish,
so he's allowed to be really fabulous.
- [Man] Oh my God.
- [Katya] What the-
- [Trixie] What is going on with these people?
- [Katya] They're touched by an angle.
(man yells)
(upbeat music)
- New competitors are going to be entering "The Circle"
including boy band icon Lance Bass,
and owner of Rocco's West Hollywood.
I smashed a TV in that bar once.
- [Katya] Does Lance know about that?
- [Trixie] He does not.
- I got to put my big boy pants on, hold on a second.
- [Katya] What the (bleep)?
- These people are in fourth grade.
- I know.
- I gotta put my big boy pants on.
- Gee whiz, another visitor.
- I went night-night.
- [Man] Lance Bass?
- What's N Y N S Y N C?
- Whoa, I love her.
- Are we 500 years old?
- I love her, yeah.
- [Woman] The bye, bye, bye rainbow?
The light box says "I am Lance."
- Wait, is it not going to be Lance?
(upbeat music)
- Oh my God, I love it.
(Trixie laughs)
- I hate this (beep)ing show.
(Katya laughs)
Oh my God.
Girl,
they had me thinking it was going to be Miss Lancerina.
- So did I.
(upbeat music)
Things are going to get really epic with Mitchell,
who's come to seek revenge on behalf of his mom
and brother?
- Who played last season.
- [Trixie] I will avenge my family!
- Does this shirt look like I bought it at Baby Gap?
I feel like I'm ripping out of this.
- [Trixie] Oo, I will be the baby gap.
- I don't know how to say this-
I gotta just drop the bomb, huh?
I am a virgin.
- [Katya] Ugh.
- [Trixie] Give me a break.
It makes me so mad.
I didn't look like that at 22, I don't look like that now,
I'm never going to look like that.
And sometimes it feels like pretty much a slap in the face.
- I don't physically ferk ladies.
You know, I'll do this when I meet the right person.
And, quite simply, I just haven't.
(camera clicks)
- I hope he has cybersex on "The Circle."
- [Katya] Sure.
- What r u wearing?
(Katya laughs)
R u up?
- R u up?
- Circle, open up the big one in black and white.
- Oh!
I don't want to be gross,
and I don't want to make anybody uncomfortable,
but he wouldn't survive what I would do to him.
(Katya laughs)
He wouldn't make it out alive.
(upbeat music)
- A, men are not virgins.
There's no such thing as virginity.
- Yeah there is, for men, 'cause you haven't had sex yet.
Biologically, no.
- So you haven't, what?
Your penis has not entered-
- Entered a pussoi.
- One time, three times.
In and out for 20 minutes.
What does that mean? Nothing.
- Well, it means that he hasn't been with a woman yet.
- I am more distrustful of someone saying that verbiage
than the actual thing that it represents.
Do you know what I mean?
- Who wants to (beep) a virgin?
Like, how come in some religions, when you go to heaven,
there's virgins?
I'm not trying to (beep) people
who don't know how to (beep).
- It's all based on the exclusivity of the pussoi
of the daughter you're trying to sell off
to Lord Whats-his-name.
It's not the 1650s anymore.
Get the (beep) out of my house.
- I hate it.
(Katya laughs)
I hate it!
(upbeat music)
Two new people are brought into the game
and Courtney uses his power as the Joker to stir things up.
I'm going to name my Alexas in my house Circle.
- And kind of keep-
What the ferk is that?
- [Trixie] The level of transformation
for me to ever look like that.
- [Katya] The amount of spray tan
and tanning salon I have to do.
- We've seen when you are left to your own devices
with tanning too.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah.
I don't look like that.
- I thought you were a deck chair for two years.
(Katya laughs)
- Circle, send message: "Hi sweeties-
- [Trixie] I like this Tron chair
that the Joker gets to sit in.
- [Katya] Yeah, it's cool.
- Message.
Eye emoji, eye emoji, eye emoji.
- This is you talking to your phone.
"Eye emoji, eye emoji"-
- And the phone is dead.
(both laugh)
- And the bill hasn't been paid in months.
- And I just keep going.
- Terilisha is definitely a catfish.
Hashtag beware, hashtag watch these girls!
- [Trixie] This is the slam poetry.
- Hello? Exactly.
Broken heart. Smiley face.
(Trixie laughs)
- I was almost there!
- My objective was to get the new players
to think that the girls are complete mess boxes.
- [Trixie] You know what else is great about the show?
- [Katya] What?
- If you're like me, and you have complicated feelings
about social media-
- Uh huh.
- This game show competition sort of doesn't disagree
with whatever negative feelings you have about social media.
- No, it just reinforces them.
- Some people are liars.
And some people are just like earnestly trying to vibe.
- Yeah, trying to find love at 22.
(upbeat music)
- Contestants are tasked with making over a mannequin head
in their likeness.
And they get some help from a Netflix icon,
Jonathan Van Ness.
- JVN baby.
- Whoa, look at these!
- [Katya] It's just human (beep).
- Oh, I love that!
- It's your task to make your mannequin heads
look just like you, but extra.
- [Trixie] I would love for one of these guys
to just go, "Who's this (beep)?"
- I know.
- Make it pop.
- Lance is pop.
- Who is that?
Who's this (beep)ing (beep)?
- Well, let's start with the base.
- Yes.
- We want natural, natural beauty.
- What would your head look like
if you had to make over a head?
- I'm going to do googly eyes, no eye shadow or makeup.
I'll just do a little piece of duct tape around the mouth
and then I'd just take a big (beep)
and just smear it on the top.
What about you?
- I think I could probably do the whole thing
with couple of Sharpies.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm happy that this isn't on a real person.
Cause I'm like-
- I just think it's funny to watch normal people
be tasked with nothing.
- Nothing.
- And they're like, "Oh my God,"
I have to use the materials provided?
- With the very detailed instructions I've just received?
- Meanwhile, on "Drag Race,"
they're like, "If you can't remove the bullet
from this patient's lung he will die on the table."
And the plot twist is it's your mother.
- Eyeshadow. Okay, here we go, here we go.
- [Trixie] Oh, I'm (beep) covered one
with the blue eyeshadow.
- [Katya] Molar falls out.
- I got it in my mouth.
- [Trixie] Mrs. Doubtfire.
- [Katya] Oh my God.
(Trixie laughs)
- [Trixie] Okay, nobody's going to believe you're a girl.
- [Woman] Put this on him to see what I'm working with.
- [Trixie] Nobody's going to believe that that's him either.
- No way.
No (beep)ing way.
- [Man] Okay, there's one attempt at a space-
- [Trixie] The wig is backwards!
- [Katya] Holy (beep).
Whoa, Oh my God!
(Trixie laughs)
- What about that photorealistic one?
- I know.
- Holy (beep).
- It's pretty stressful.
(Trixie laughs)
- Oh.
The (beep)ing porcupine, that is a porcupine.
That is a porcupine!
- Oh my God!
- That is crazy.
- Oh my god!
This is incredible.
This is already better than last season.
- [Katya] Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- That was fun.
- Yeah, yeah. That was fun.
- That's an example of straight people being fabulous
and not making a joke of it.
- Yeah.
It's not humiliating to like play a girl or whatever.
- Right. Have you ever catfished?
- I dogfish.
I do the opposite.
I, like, give them an uglier picture of me
in order for them to be pleasantly surprised
when I actually show up.
- Do you want me to take one of you now to put in that bag?
(both laugh)
Have you reached the age where you're starting to agefish?
- That ship sailed a long time ago.
(Trixie laughs)
I do like a yearbook photo at this point
from the baby album.
- If it's from when you were a baby-
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I'd say sending a haunted oil painting
is a catfish.
(upbeat music)
(Chloe gasps)
(Chloe screams)
- [Katya] Screaming, every time, love it.
- The ratings results are in.
- These could be my last final moments.
- And then she's going to move on to another Netflix show.
- Yeah, totally.
- We're going to see her on "Bridgerton," (beep).
- Come on, come on, come on, come on.
- Who is it?
- My hearts pounding.
- [Trixie] Mine too.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
(tense music)
- [Katya] Oh my God, say the (bleep) name.
(Chloe screams)
- Oh my god!
(hands clap)
- Like she won an Academy Award.
- I'm representing Essex, babe.
- But being myself, being the most popular is priceless.
- We're suppose to believe this woman
has never found acceptance in her life?
When that is by and far the only acceptable looking person
to ever come from the island of the United Kingdom?
(Katya laughs)
- [Katya] I've never in my life valued being gorgeous.
All through life I've been liked.
And now I got liked a lot.
- [Katya] I'm blindsided.
(upbeat music)
Bumped off the game, fake Emily and fake Lance,
they're going to go meet one player in real life.
(Chloe gasps)
(Chloe screams)
(Katya laughs)
- [Trixie] She screams a lot.
- Screams every-
- I want to know what happens to this woman in the morning
when her alarm goes off.
(Trixie screams)
- The toast pops up-
(Katya screams)
(tense music)
- [Woman] Hello?
- Did she just walk into somebody's apartment
without knocking?
- [Woman] River?
(tense music)
(door knocks)
- Oh my God.
- [Trixie] They're going to get ax murdered.
- Hi, I'm Emily.
- Oh, I'm Lance.
- [Katya] They should start (beep)ing.
(Katya screams)
- [Jack] Emily and Lance,
you have been blocked from "The Circle."
However, you're being given a second chance.
- Do they get to be second profiles?
- It's time to meet your new profile.
(hands clap)
- Let's do this shit.
- Oh, there being a team.
(Trixie screams)
I love "The Circle" (beep)!
You know what?
Everything that goes around, comes around in "The Circle."
And that is the (beep)ing funniest thing
I've ever seen in my (bleep) life.
You're gonna play Steven, an air force pilot from Nevada.
- A retired veteran with diabetes.
- [Woman] What's going to be tough
is just playing someone that's so much older.
- She went from being Lance Bass to now someones uncle?
Someone's Facebook QAnon uncle?
(Katya laughs)
I love it.
I (beep)ing love it.
- And you're thinking about sweet old guys,
your like, that's John.
- Yeah.
- [Trixie] If it was your character,
what would you name him?
- [Katya] Gran Torino.
- The name of a city, perfect.
I would go with something like Daddy Silver (beep).
(Katya laughs)
- [Katya] Simply, Father.
- [Trixie] Benedict Cabbage Patch.
- [Katya] Yeah, there you go.
- Hey everybody, I'm John,
full-time psychic part-time Santa-
- [Katya] Loves butterflies, sewing-
- [Trixie] And rifles.
- Hanging out with girls.
- Hanging out with young girls.
Pretending to move furniture into a van.
- Yeah.
- It could be like the most friendly old fella.
Maybe we go gay?
- [Trixie] It's a harsh stereotype
that gay people are friendly.
- Loving partner of 38 years
to my amazing husband, Terry
and father to three incredible children.
- [Katya] What are your daughter's names?
- Rice, Mystery and Birkin.
(Katya laughs)
- May, June and July.
- All of the months they were born.
No. - No!
(upbeat music)
- I have to say a social media competition,
I would love some old (beep)er to win.
- I would've just pretended to be the baby.
Everybody loves a baby.
- Pretending to be a baby on "The Circle?"
You know what it'd be?
A baby with sunglasses on like this.
- [Katya] Cool baby.
- Cool baby.
- Yeah, first name Cool, last name Baby.
- I'm here to party and suck on titties.
(Katya laughs)
- Yes!
Who would you be?
- I probably pick my brother.
Who's like an attorney, a war vet,
somebody I know enough about
that I could reasonably pretend to be.
- I would just be myself, it would be so much easier.
And-
- For who?
(Katya laughs)
For who?
Exactly.
That's what I thought, (beep).
(upbeat music)
Lee is going to receive a tear-inducing message
from his mother.
- Oh.
- Hi son.
Love you so much.
Miss you terribly.
- [Katya] I mean, he's not in an interment camp.
- [Trixie] Hey honey,
you only got eight more months until you have parole.
- We both love you so much,
but we do want to reiterate that if you lose,
don't bother coming home.
- You're so smart, you're so talented and really bright.
- [Trixie] His mom looks great.
- [Katya] Yeah, like his sister.
- My mom looks like a (beep)ing ottoman.
(Katya laughs)
And she knows it, I tell her.
(upbeat music)
We're moving along in the competition,
River has become a super influencer
and it's time for him to make an elimination on his own.
(tense music)
- [River] You must block this player face-to-face.
(Trixie screams)
- That is crazy!
They're going to say, "Who are you?"
- "Who are you old man?"
- "I'm River, I'm also a liar and you're going home."
Oo, I love it.
- You are an evil, evil, evil Circle!
- If he blocks Chloe, she would keep screaming
until all the flesh of his face-
- She's going to "Bird Box" herself off the patio.
- Yes.
- Like-
- Flies off the balcony.
- Yes.
- The secret super influencer
is on their way to block one of you now.
- They're blocking them in person.
- [Trixie] She's just screaming.
- I love her so much.
- They said, "They're coming to block you now."
And she's like-
- She opens the door completely nude, glistening bronze.
- Oh!
(tense music)
- [Trixie] What if he walked in here?
(Katya laughs)
- We're both fired. We're-
- We're fired, that's how they fire us.
- [Katya] Rivers, that would be incredible.
(tense music)
- [Man] Oo, don't tell me.
(River laughs)
(Trixie and Katya yell)
- No, I'm River.
- What?
- Yeah.
- He's like, "You know, there is one way out of this."
(Katya laughs)
- I could suck your (beep).
(both laugh)
- The TGI Fridays is still doing happy hour.
(upbeat music)
This show has everything!
- It's got everything.
Isolation, backstabbing-
- Cute decor.
- Cute decor, shirtless hunks with no sexual experience.
- Wigs and mannequins.
- Wigs, make-overs-
- Pancakes, arts and crafts.
- Essex girls.
- Alliances, double crossings.
- Double crossings, bamboozling.
- Snap judgements.
- Catfish!
Broiled Southern down-home country catfish.
- Yeah, it's amazing.
Please check out my favorite program, "The Circle"
season two, available on Netflix.
- And please do it.
- [Both] Bye! Oh.
(lips smack)
- Amore, amore.
(upbeat music)
