Season 4 of the hit Netflix reality competition series ‘The Circle’ is finally here. For the new season, Netflix has kept the rollout strategy by dropping a certain number of episodes every week, as opposed to releasing the full season on the same day. This helps keep the buzz of reality competitions going, as well as preventing people from giving major spoilers – fans have time to catch up before the final episode is released.

The first four episodes have premiered and each episode just keeps getting more dramatic and unpredictable. Netflix was not joking when they marketed Season 4  as “the spiciest season” ever. While Parker is eliminated, two new contestants join the season. One is Rachel who is a paranormal researcher and the other is Nathan who is originally Alex. If this twist wasn’t enough, another shocking reveal in the Circle might jeopardize the game of Mel B and Emma Bunton. Scroll down to find out what it is.

In episode 4, there is a shocking alert and it is revealed to the rest of the cast that they are playing ‘The Circle’ alongside the Spice Girls Mel B and Emma Bunton. However, they are not informed about the contestant profile the girls are catfishing as. As expected, the cast is shocked and excited upon hearing the news. The rest of the episode sees them trying to guess the profile of the Spice Girls. While Alyssa and Frank suspect Jared to be the fake profile, Bru and Alex suspect Rachel. The Spice Girls themselves try to frame Alyssa as the catfish.

Towards the end of the episode, the contestants are given a task and they have to guess the correct profile that the Spice Girls are playing as. Rachel gets two votes from Bru and Nathan. Jared gets two votes from Alyssa and Frank. Carol and Nathan also get a vote each. The episode ends before the rest of the votes are revealed leaving the audience to guess whether the Spice Girls manage to succeed or not in hiding their catfish profile. Stay tuned to next Wednesday to find out what happens next.

The first four episodes of 'The Circle' are available on Netflix.
