Hosted by the popular comedian and actress, Michelle Buteau, 'The Circle', has always had a mix of people playing as either themselves or those who catfish by hiding their actual identities from the other players. 

Who is Rachel Evans?

One of the nine contestants on the show is Houston-born and raised Rachel Evans, a 29-year-old paranormal researcher by profession. Evans had mind-numbingly terrifying encounters with ghosts as a child, thereby explaining her field of work. She read up and ended up becoming an expert on everything remotely paranormal after her own disturbing childhood experiences.

Evans is a professional ghost hunter and runs the social media of the widely popular digital creating account called Smosh. 

In the intro video on 'The Circle', Evans doesn't shy away from portraying her goofy nature. She added, "I have grown up my entire life thinking that I'm just the coolest". On the Smosh channel, you'll get to see her in her truest exuberant self; she is a collaborator who threw her hat in to help create the "Try Not To Laugh" videos!

What's more, Rachel is a host on a channel called 'Dark 5', which explores mysteries from all over the world. She has also been featured on 'Paranormal Caught on Camera', a Travel Channel show.

Season 4 of 'The Circle' premieres on May 4, 2022, on Netflix. Stay tuned for the drama!
