The Circle 2019: Two new players enter – but only one gets to stay

Two brand new players joined The Circle 2019 in tonight’s latest episode – but only one stayed.

In tonight’s instalment (Friday, October 11), a new twist shocked The Circle.

Fresh from last night’s latest blocking, where Brooke was eliminated, two new players join the game this evening – Jan and Andrea.

They first appeared to the other players as just a Red Egg (Andrea) and a Blue Egg (Jan).

“There are two eggs in The Circle. Each egg is someone hoping to join the game,” revealed The Circle to the current contestants.

They were then told: “You must get to know both eggs and decide which one you want. You must do this without seeing their name, photo, age or gender.”

The current players got to question the eggs before deciding which one stayed. The other was instantly blocked.

Meet the new players
