'The Circle' Season 4: RJ Josh 'Bru' Brubaker gets trolled for struggling to write his own bio

'Bru gets paid to talk and can't even figure out a bio,' read a tweet

Season 4 of Netflix's 'The Circle' is now streaming, and fans are already hooked. While there are nine new faces this season, there is one guy in the mix who seems to be a familiar face.

According to a recent Instagram post by Josh Brubaker, better known as "Bru," he is on a quest to prove that "nice guys can finish first." While it appears that he is leading with his golden heart, his off-screen employment as a Radio Jockey may have given him the gift of gab while interacting with his fellow cast members. He presently works as a Radio Jockey for B96, Chicago, but he began his career at home before gaining a large social media following. On-air, the 25-year-old presents 'What's Bru'in', 'The 60 Second Scandal,' 'All The Feels,' and 'Bru's Beats,' among other programs.

Bru has almost four million TikTok followers, in addition to the time he spends at the radio station. He often refers to himself as the "CEO of Radio TikTok." Bru does the occasional comedy sketch, but most of his TikToks show listeners what it's like to be a radio DJ and interview celebrities like Harry Styles and Charlie Puth. On 'The Circle', it appears that Bru's notoriety preceded him. During their introductions, another cast member John Franklin (who is catfishing as his mother, Carol) promptly recognizes Bru's headshot. And, to be honest, we're not sure how many other fans freaked out when they saw him on the show.

His rise to fame in the entertainment industry spawned a flood of jokes about his inability to write his bio. All of this began when Bru was seen on the first episode of 'The Circle' having difficulty curating a decent bio for his profile. Fans reacted by making jokes and finding humor in the situation. Viewers of the show flocked to Twitter to express how, as a radio host and TikTok star, Bru is at a loss for words. As one Twitter user put it: "Bru struggling to come up with a bio for his profile when he is a radio host i- #TheCircleNetflix #TheCircle" while another wrote, "Bru trying to come up with something to put in his bio #TheCircle." "Bru gets paid to talk and can't even figure out a bio," a tweet read.

Josh "Bru" Brubaker has cemented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the social media game in only a few episodes, and it's easy to see why. After all, he is a TikTok sensation. Bru joined 'The Circle' by betting on transparency and playing as himself, despite being a well-known TikTok star. In the beginning, the plan worked well for him, as he slid into the middle of the first rankings and formed a flirting "throuple" coalition with Yu Ling and Alyssa. It appears that the rest of the players (besides John) will soon figure out Bru's influencer status, which might either assist or cost him in the end.

On May 11, two new episodes of 'The Circle' will air on Netflix. Keep an eye out.
