After becoming a sleeper hit in 2019, The Circle is back and bigger than ever.
The Channel 4 series returned for its second run on Tuesday night, launching with a special live episode led by new host Emma Willis.
The episode saw the first eight contestants getting comfy in the flats - which are in Manchester this year - but it wasn’t just the hopefuls themselves we got to meet.
With a prize fund of £100,000 up for grabs, many of them are playing the game as characters.
Oh, and Richard Madeley is on there too.
As the action kicked off, so did the funny tweets and memes. Here are all the best reactions to episode one…
First of all, Tim looks like Robin Williams
Plenty of people pointed this out.
He's also an early favourite to win
And his cat already has its own Twitter account
This person nailed the perfect snack choice
Bravo.
Emma Willis's outfit reminded some people of a classic film
It is, admittedly, tough to get your head around who is playing who
This isn’t helped by the fact that one young man is playing as a single mum, while a real single mum is attempting to convince people she is her own teenage son.
Richard Madeley’s arrival did not disappoint
And some people wondered what Judy Finnegan is up to in his absence
Could it fill the Big Brother-shaped hole in our lives? It looks like the answer is yes:
The Circle airs tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
