Like with any reality TV series, some of the cast members on Netflix's The Circle come onto the show already being well-known within the social media world as influencers. Others, meanwhile, slowly gather a following as episodes of the show stream. Regardless of how or when they acquired their followers, the cast of season 2 of The Circle includes both those who have thousands of followers already and those who only have followers in the four figures.
Chances are that by the end of the show, however, most, if not all, of the cast members will have doubled or tripled their social media following. For now, however, how do they rank?
9 Lisa (Lance Bass) – 2,805
Lisa came into the house fully confident that she would be able to fool everyone into believing she was Lance Bass from the '90s boy band NSYNC since she has worked as his personal assistant for years and knows him in and out. The problem is that most of the cast is in their 20s and doesn't even know who Bass is.
While Bass himself has more than half a million Instagram followers, Lisa (@liseed) only has a few thousand, ranking her last on the list. She seems fairly new to Instagram, however, with only about a dozen posts to date, the first of which was posted in December 2020.
8 Lee (River) – 5,681
Lee, a boomer pretending to be a 24-year-old gay man, is an author who has written several books, which he promotes via his Instagram account @leeswiftauthor. He has experience pretending to be someone else since he writes many of his books under a pen name.
He has written romance novels under the pseudonyms Kris Cook and Lana Lynn. Lee believes his ability to pretend to be someone else along with his gift for putting pen to paper (or voice to text, in this case) would help him in the game. But while he is famous in the novelist world, he isn't quite a social media influencer just yet.
7 Jack (Emily) – 8,046
Jack has a fun personality and believes he can fool everyone by pretending to be a young woman named Emily, using the photo of his actual friend for his fake profile. He has a long way to go on social media, though, as he has just over 8,000 followers on Instagram under his handle @jackatkins21.
That said, like all cast members, his following continues to rise so chances are he might have significantly more as time goes on. He doesn't promote much on the page, which seems fairly new with only 25 posts to date, even though the first is dated in 2018.
6 Terilisha – 17,800
While she went onto the show touting her job as a teacher along with her love of science, according to Terilisha's Instagram page, @terilisha, she is a recording artist, songwriter, and actress as well. She has a decent following of more than 17,000 followers that continues to grow as she sparks conflict in the house.
Her Instagram page promotes her own website as well, which features audio clips of her songs, a variety of photos, and links to her music on streaming sites like Apple Music and Spotify.
5 Courtney – 31,000
Courtney came into the game with a pretty solid social media following on Instagram already (@courtneyrevolution) thanks to his pop culture and celebrity gossip podcast Overheard In The Pantry and YouTube channel.
He posts mainly photos of himself on his social media, including ones he has turned into memes. He also posts a link to purchase merchandise and listen to his podcast and YouTube channels.
4 Deleesa (Trevor) - 56,300
While she doesn't have a six-figure following on Instagram (@leesaunique), Deleesa still has an impressive following for her account, where she shares modeling photos.
She does include photos with her daughter as well as her husband Trevor, who she is playing as in the house. Deleesa also uses her platform to promote positive messages, including bringing awareness to the Black Lives Matter movement, a statement that has also appeared prominently on her clothing on The Circle. She also promotes the website for her Be Unique shop, which sells everything from clothing to lashes and accessories, and even recently shared details of the swag box she received from Netflix.
3 Savannah – 272,000
Also a real-life influencer as well as the first influencer in the game, on Instagram (@savpalacio) posts a lot of modeling photos and does some brand endorsements already. Her Instagram also promotes herself as a "digital creator."
At 25 years old, the Los Angeles, California native came into the game already a bona fide social media celebrity. So, it's no surprise that Savannah was instantly popular in the house, named one of the first two influencers of the season.
2 Bryant – 501,000
Fans might be surprised to know that Bryant, the meditation teacher, actually has the second-highest number of followers on Instagram (@bryant.give) at over half a million. This makes him an actual influencer, even if he didn't get that title on the show.
The 27-year-old Chico, California native uses his Instagram account to promote his business, Modern Nirvana, which offers services like personalized coaching and meditation videos. While he alluded to his past life on the show, what fans might not know is that he actually appeared on America's Next Top Model in 2015 when he was just 21, though he did not make it far.
1 Chloe – 1.4 Million
The reason that Chloe (@chloeveitchofficial) came onto the show already with more than a million followers is that she appeared on another Netflix reality show, Too Hot To Handle. This prior appearance, along with her bubbly and eccentric personality, has made Chloe a popular internet personality.
The 22-year-old woman from Essex, England posts lots of content on Instagram, including a series of beautifully posed photos in fashionable outfits or bikini wear, or doing fun and exciting things like drinking champagne in a bubble bath and hanging with friends. She has been active for some time, with close to 500 posts on the site.
