EXCLUSIVE | From Basketball player to 'The Circle' star: Kyle Fuller reflects on 'unforgettable' Netflix journey
MIAMI, FLORIDA: 'The Circle' Season 6 star Kyle Fuller made his reality television debut with Netflix's social experiment competition. He chose to play as himself in 'The Circle', but with an added twist. Kyle decided to hide the true nature of his basketball career. He had appeared in the Netflix show as a Basketball trainer.
Kyle, 31, was a professional basketball player before making a successful career in reality TV. He has played for his University and National teams. Kyle is a proud dog dad and also brought him to the Netflix show. The contestant had an amazing experience in the catfishing competition and shared his journey.
In an exclusive interview with MEAWW, Kyle shared his 'unforgettable' Netflix show journey. He said, "My time on 'The Circle' is unforgettable because how many people can say that they went on a reality TV show with their dog?" Kyle elaborated, "People who own French Bulldogs understand how needy they are for attention, and my Frenchie named 'Deuce,' often interrupted private chats because he wanted to play."
He also teased what fans could expect from the upcoming episodes of the Netflix show. Kyle noted, "The most I can tell you is that expect the unexpected. Because what you think is going to happen or who you think is going to get blocked is likely to be WRONG."
However, being with the dog was not the only surprising twist and challenge. Netflix has recently introduced an open-source Artificial Intelligence chatbot, Max, which Kyle noted as "truly a twist in the game because now I was second guessing everybody and thinking about every chat that I had."
How did Kyle Fuller land on 'The Circle'?
'The Circle' Season 6 contestant Kyle Fuller claimed that he didn't consider applying for the Netflix show. Kyle's wife, Jackie Fuller, and her friend insisted and claimed that he would be a great fit for 'The Circle'. Kyle was hesitant to apply for the game show because he was focused on the mental training required for the season.
Despite Kyle's hesitation, his wife knew that he was the perfect fit for the game and applied for him. The Netflix show contestant was unaware of the application until he received a phone call saying, "You are our guy, and we'd love to see you on 'The Circle.'"

He elaborated, "I never felt alone and I could always bounce ideas off of him and whenever I needed exercise he was always down to do it with me." Deuce also helped Kyle in the Netflix show game. "He is also a great judge of character and he could tell when a chat wasn't going well and would have some ways of letting me know," added Netflix show contestant.
What would Kyle Fuller do if he wins 'The Circle'?
'The Circle' Season 6 star Kyle Fuller has instantly become fans' favorite contestant and chances of him winning the Netflix competition are high. However, he has shared his hopes and plans for how he would spend the whopping $100,000 cash prize after winning 'The Circle'.
Kyle would love to "take a vacation with my wife and Deuce" after grabbing the win. He added, "It would also be amazing to support my family by being home more and not having to play ball overseas." Kyle also shared that 'The Circle' experience was fun and he "would love to do it again if the opportunity arises."
However, Kyle reflected on the toughest challenge that he had to face a few challenges in the Netflix show.
