The Circle season 5 winner: Who wins The Circle season 5?

It seems like The Circle season 5 only just began, yet the finale has officially arrived and with its arrival has come the crowning of a new winner of The Circle. 

As episode 12 came to a close last week, Tom was blocked from The Circle leaving just six players in contention for the grand prize. Before the players could even take a breath after Tom’s blocking, the time came for them to submit their penultimate rankings of the season which would result in one super influencer being named.

With six players left and only five spots in the finale, this super influencer would be tasked with choosing which of their fellow players would not be moving on to the finale — directly ending their game with the casting of their vote.

When the dust had settled and the results of the penultimate rankings of the season were revealed, it was Chaz who secured the title of super influencer. This gave him the power to choose which of his five fellow players would not be moving on to finale night.

After careful consideration, Chaz chose to block Oliver from the game which resulted in his elimination just before the finale. This left Chaz, Raven, Sam, Jennifer aka Brett & Xanthi, and Tamira aka Tasia in the fight for the victory and title of The Circle season 5 winner. So who exactly walked away with the $100,000 grand prize?

In the final episode of The Circle season 5, Sam Carmona secured the No. 1 spot in the final rankings which made her the winner of season 5. The win for Sam was definitely deserved but was a tad surprising given the number of times Chaz and Raven were named influencers over the season.

The final rankings of the season were Sam (First Place), Chaz (Second Place), Raven (Third Place), Tasia aka Tamira (Fourth Place), and Jennifer aka Brett and Xanthi (Fifth Place).
