Circle Spy

Joey and Pippa have joined forces as a catfish after being blocked as solo players.

Joey and Pippa arrived in episode 11, the former catfishing as a Nigerian immigrant version of himself named Femi, the latter portraying herself.

In episode 16, they were blocked by Influencers Natalya and Scott. However, a twist gave them a second chance in the game, living together in the same apartment and playing under a joint catfish profile.

The Circle assigned them the role of a priest named Tom, including a profile picture, although they were free to create all other details of his identity.

In the event Joey and Pippa win the series, they will split the prize money equally. Their original profile details follow below…

Motivation for entering The Circle
Joey: “I thought it would just be a good kind of thing for me to be able to touch on the fact that there are a lot of immigrants in the UK that move away from different countries seeking a better life to support family back home. I thought that would be a good thing to highlight. And I kind of love the show anyway. I’ve watched the last two seasons. I thought it’d be fun.”

Pippa: “I’m going in The Circle to prove that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. I’m often misjudged by my appearance and the way I look. People assume that I lack intelligence. When me and my friends get chatting with people about what we do for work, when it comes to me people assume it’s something based on aesthetics. I’m always explaining that actually, I have master’s degree in law; I’ve studied law for seven years. There’s more to me than meets the eye.”

Strategy
Joey: “Even though there’s a part of the story that’s different to who I am, I’m still going to have the same attitude. I’m still going to be the fun, easy-going, talkative individual that I am. The person who likes to build relationships, who likes to give and offer advice to people as well. I think my main strategy is building relationships along the way.”

Pippa: “I am just being me and hopefully I can build relationships, but genuine relationships. To get far in life in general, you do have to have a good, genuine relationship with some people. Studying law and the career that I’m in is quite strategic. You have to have the art of communication and the gift of the gab to win people over. I play poker as well, so I’m quite good at sensing bluffers. So I’m going to be bringing in all my natural traits, and applying them to the game.”
