In the latest season of The Circle, a new catfish named Jennifer, portrayed by Xanthi Perdikomatis and Brett Robinson, has emerged, causing quite a stir among fans. Jennifer made a surprise return after being initially blocked, raising eyebrows among viewers.
The Cougar in Play
Jennifer, introduced as a 51-year-old dog trainer, entered the competition in episode 2, becoming a latecomer to the game. Crafted by Xanthi and Brett, Jennifer’s persona boasts Aquarius traits and an understanding of phrases like “shoot your shot.” Fans find it puzzling that her fellow contestants haven’t picked up on these peculiar details.
Intriguing Alliances
Jennifer has forged an alliance with Sasha and has successfully navigated through to episode 8. However, it’s worth noting that she has consistently voted for Raven’s elimination, particularly after Xanthi and Brett faced their own elimination in the initial episode.
The Power Play
Xanthi and Brett’s catfish, Jennifer, received a significant boost in the form of a special power. This came about when Shubham, known as Shooby, was given the authority to grant a special power to one contestant. After careful consideration, Shooby decided to block Bruno, also known as Billie-Jean.
Following Shooby’s swift exit, he bestowed a special power upon Jennifer, a move that has sparked disagreement among fans. Many believe that Jennifer, portrayed by Xanthi and Brett, shouldn’t have advanced this far in the competition.
Fan Reactions and Confusion
Taking to Twitter, a significant portion of The Circle Season 5 audience expressed their bewilderment over Jennifer gaining power. They also voiced disagreement with Shubham’s choice in this matter. One viewer shared, “Idk but it kinda looks like ‘Jennifer’ might make it to the finale. #TheCircle #TheCircleNetflix.”
Another viewer raised concerns, stating, “No person should have all this power… the fact that EVERYONE likes Jennifer would’ve been fishy to me coming in. I’m glad Olivier tried to call her out #TheCircle.”
However, there’s another perspective within The Circle fandom that commends Xanthi and Brett for their adept catfishing skills. “No matter how you feel about them, the fact that Jennifer got 3rd in the ratings and nobody suspects her of being a catfish just speaks to how incredibly well Brett/Xanthi are playing #TheCircle #TheCircleNetflix,” observed one fan.
