Editor’s note:
this post contains spoilers for the grand finale of Netflix’s The
Circle season four.
The so-called
“big boy with a big personality” has officially won the fourth season of
Netflix’s The Circle.
Frank Grimsley
introduced himself as a 28-year-old school social worker from Maryland. Unlike other
contestants who used catfish profiles to compete on The Circle,
Grimsley played the game as himself.
From the very
beginning, it came as no surprise that the other players loved Grimsley’s infectious charisma and connected with his
personality. He had a strong start in season four by being ranked in first
place in episode one. Grimsley then finished off the competition strong by once
again getting first place in the ranking that took place in episode 10.
Every American
season of The Circle on Netflix has featured LGBTQ+ finalists,
but none of them had managed to win the show thus far. Now, Grimsley has broken
the mold by winning The Circle season four and taking home
the largest-ever grand prize in the history of the series:
$150,000.
At the grand
finale, Grimsley ultimately outranked runner-up Trevor St. Agathe – husband
of The Circle season two winner DeLeesa St. Agathe – as well
as Yu Ling Wu (third place), Rachel Evans (fourth place), and Eversen Bevelle
(fifth place). Notoriously, this season featured the Spice Girls band members Mel B and Emma Bunton as
contestants.
Previous
LGBTQ+ finalists who came very close to winning The Circle include
season one’s Chris Sapphire and Sammie Cimarelli, season two’s Courtney
Revolution and Lee Swift, and season three’s Sophia Layne and Matthew Pappadia.
However, none of them were able to actually win the show.
Now, Grimsley
will forever be remembered as the first-ever LGBTQ+ winner of the American
edition of The Circle, which has been a hit reality show for Netflix.
The Circle season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
