    I'd love to know more about the chat limits! Is it a straight forward limit of X conversations for X minutes a day? Are you not allowed to repeatedly talk to the same people? A lot of the chats seem to be 2-3 questions then done! Is that the edit, or were some chats limited to 5-10 mins?
    Are you ever directed who to start a conversation with? Such as someone you haven't spoken to in a while, or to put together the relevant connections for whatever the current drama is?
    And what is the deal with the diary room? You clearly go there a fair bit, but it's hardly used in the final edit. Maybe 2 or 3 times over the entire course of the first series, and once so far this series. It seems like the diary room is the very last resort for the director/editors. Did producers ask you questions about the topics of the day in case it was needed for the edit? Or was it more of a welfare issue with making sure you were feeling okay? Did you get to speak to people face to face in there or is it more like the Big Brother diary room (an isolated booth with camera and speakers)?

    I just discovered the TV show "The Circle" and I'm completely hooked so it's interesting to see your Q&A. If you ever do another one, I'd be interested to know how many conversations the players are allowed to have per day and how long the time limit for each chat is.

      @lbb3586 3 года назад

      No point in applying. I understand most contestants are scouted and hand-picked. In season 2, I know that of the 16 contestants only one had applied to be on the show.

    This was super insightful Alex, thank you for the video! Could you do one on the audition process, your experience with it etc? As for questions, not to be crude but I can't help but wonder what the protocol is if you need some 'special time' to yourself, if you catch my drift... I'm curious if there's a nudity waiver you have to sign!

    Why is it every time someone is blocked, and the circle alerts the contestants that the blocked person gets to meet someone. All the players are extra tense and and shocked all the time ?

    In the mornings, would the lights just suddenly turn on and you had to get up or were you allowed to have lie ins? Also, how did you know or make sure the cameras didn’t film you when you were naked or using the loo? are those scenes just edited out, because they are clearly filming people whilst in the shower so long as they’re „covered“? do players have to go to the bathroom to get dressed or changed?

    Wonderful to catch this behind the scenes video, Alex. I can confirm- and add, "what a blast!" Alex, you are the trail-blazer and I loved your time on the circle. But really, Alex, wasn't it great- everything done for us, appearing magically- clothes, steak, and endless prosecco (WTF) if you like that (I don't). Also, so many cocktails- never had a cocktail before I got on to the Circle so genuinely a new experience . They eventually delivered a very nice glass of Ouzo. The circle really looked after us and made us feel so "cared for": It was like living in Paradise, but certainly a very hot version of paradise. All the best, TIM
