Another two players will enter the game on tonight's episode of The Circle on Channel 4.
After OG players Billy and Tally were both blocked in recent episodes, the group will be brought back up to a full contingent of nine players with the additions of Pippa and catfish Femi/Joey.
Pippa is a 26-year-old commercial paralegal from Manchester who has decided to play the game as herself.
"I was going to be a catfish and the story was really extravagant - so extravagant that you wouldn't doubt it," she said before entering. "I thought it might just be a bit too much. You don't want to cross the line too much for the sake of winning the game.
"After considering it, I thought I'd rather go in as myself. I've got enough personality to do well in this game. I do think it's going to be quite a challenge because I'm often misjudged on the way I look. People don't assume that I do what I do."

Meanwhile Joey, a 26-year-old entrepreneur from London, has decided to masquerade as a Nigerian immigrant version of himself called Femi.
"I've got people all around me in my family that have been in this situation," he said. "My dad lives in Nigeria and I go to Nigeria every year. I feel I know the story very, very well. I know the character very, very well.
"I feel like I'm connected to the story more than I would be as a catfish. I have so many people around me who have gone through this experience.
"I still wanted the real me to shine though. I want the other players to see me. I want them to see the way I talk, see the way I reason about things and see the way I play about things."
The Circle continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
