The highly-anticipated fifth season of Netflix’s ‘The Circle’ is all set to air on December 28. Contestants will put their game face on, as a total of $150,000 is up for grabs. They must prove their popularity to their fellow isolated players by claiming to be romantically available, some of which may be genuine, and some may be a tactic to deceive them. Viewers can expect a lot to take place as this strategy game occurs in the infamous ‘The Circle’ apartment complex.

‘The Circle’ puts a unique twist on reality television as players interact with each another virtually. They can be as honest or as deceptive as they want, manipulating their social media profiles in a bid to be crowned the winner. Every so often, the contestants are asked to rate each other, and the two highest-ranking players become the influencers of the season. If a person wishes to give themselves the best chance of winning, they can use the "block" or "remove" option to remove their competition from the game. It’s a thrilling twist on the traditional reality TV format. Season 5 is set to introduce a fresh batch of contestants, including Marvin Achi, the almost ‘Big Brother’ contestant. So for those wondering about the stud, we have you covered. Here is everything we know about this ‘The Circle’ Season 5 participant.
