Alyssa, 27, from New York describes herself as "an assistant to a sex coach." We're on board already.
"I love helping people have amazing sex," she says, "and I can very comfortably say the word vagina." If that becomes useful on The Circle, we know we're in for a good season!
Bru (real name Josh Brubaker) is a 24-year-old radio host from West Hollywood, California. Wonder how many podcasts he has.
He describes himself as a golden retriever: "trustworthy, loyal and kind." We'll see if his time on The Circle is all bark, no bite.
John, 24, from New Jersey grew up in the same town where they filmed The Sopranos, so it's only natural that he's going to be playing The Circle as his Italian mother Carol. A social media content creator, John describes himself "as Italian as it possibly gets" and even has a tattoo of St. Anthony on his chest. We'll see if John's catfishing has any prayer of earning him $150k.
We've got a baller in our midst! Crissa, 31, is only the 13th woman in history to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. Once you've beaten the Washington Generals hundreds of times, how hard can The Circle be? Crissa says she's going to rely on her "full-court vision" to win the whole thing. We love a basketball pun!
Yu Ling, 25, works as a brand marketing consultant in San Francisco. The daughter of two immigrant parents, she says she was "raised culturally by MTV and VH1." We see you, Yu Lin. Flavor of Love fanatics have to stick together.
Miami native Parker, 21, will be playing The Circle as her 56-year-old father Paul. "My only two personality traits really are being in a sorority and going out and partying," she says. We're not sure whether to laugh or cry. Good luck, Parker/Paul!
Frank,28, a social worker from Maryland, calls himself "the big boy with a big personality." We want to be friends with Frank.
Alex, 28, a commercial banker from Scottsdale, Arizona, will be playing The Circle as Nathan, a "22-year-old fresh out of college frat bro." Sounds like he'd get along with Parker! Alex describes himself as "a catfish in real life, because my personal life and professional life are very different." Is that cheating? We'd watch out for Alex/Nathan.
Rachel, 29, is a paranormal researcher from Houston, which is apparently a thing. "Having paranormal experiences as a kid allowed me to open up that part of my brain," she says, "and now it remains open." Sounds spooky, but to each their own!
