I really enjoyed the premise of the show, and did feel the urge to continue watching. The contestants were well-selected overall, providing a good mix of personalities.
However, some of the segments were unbearably dragged out and the finale was poorly executed. I found that when someone was able to meet another person from the circle face-to-face, the scene was extended for too long. Not sure if this was poor editing or just the lack of rapport between contestants. Either way, it was awkward.
In the finale, a catfish entered the meeting room first to meet the other contestants, and then had to explain themselves every time a new person entered the room. I feel as though they should have entered the catfish last in this scene for the sake of redundancy.
Also, I hope the production team will improve their voice dictation capabilities, or whatever was going on there. It seemed like the contestants had to scream into their TV's to get their words typed, which was kind of distracting.
Next season, I hope the circle will prompt more 1:1 interactions or games between contestants. This will give better content for editing and hopefully reduce the chance of someone not knowing how to rank their fellow contestants, due to lack of interaction, by the end of the season.
