The Circle season 3 spoilers: Who were influencers in episodes 1-4?

The Circle season 3 has finally arrived! The first four episodes of the new season dropped on Sept. 8 and Netflix quickly managed to get the action started with twist after twist.

Just four episodes into the season, we’ve already seen influencers rise to power, new faces enter The Circle and a handful of contestants be blocked. It was an intense few episodes and if the first episodes of the season are any indication of what’s to come, fans are in for one incredible season!

Kicking off the season, eight new players moved into The Circle vying for their chance at the grand prize and hoping to make some immediate connections. This being The Circle, we also saw a few new additions to the cast already occur within the first hours of the season with two new players joining the game in episode 3.

The first episodes of the season also did a great job of setting the tone for what’s to come in quickly identifying a few early frontrunners within the first rankings of the season. Who exactly rose to power as the first influencers of the new season? Let’s take a look!

The Circle season 3 influencers episodes 1-4

Across the first four episodes of The Circle season 3, a total of three influencers were named due in part to a premiere twist that saw one contestant named sole influencer. So just which members of the cast managed to impress their competitors enough to secure influencer status within the first episodes of the season?

In the first episode of the season, Kai was named sole influencer after she was ranked No. 1 in the first impression rankings. This allowed her the ability to block a player directly on her own which led to the elimination of Ava and Chanel — well sort of, as the sisters ended up getting a second chance in the game following their first elimination.

Fast forward to episode 4, it was time for our second rankings of the season which saw Kai and Ruksana claiming the top spots as the first pair of influencers in the season. Having been previously aligned before rising to the top, the pair were able to easily agree on who to block which led to the elimination of Michelle aka Ava and Chanel, who were sent packing the first blocking after they managed to convince The Circle to send home the real Michelle.
