Meet the LGBTQ+ Contestants on 'The Circle' Season 5
We're rooting for the LGBTQ+ people on ‘The Circle’!
Netflix's The Circle has been one of the most LGBTQ-inclusive reality shows on television since its very first season. On season five, the series isn't any different. Contestants of all different races, sexual identities, countries, and particular backgrounds compete together in the ultimate game of social media popularity.
Notable LGBTQ+ contestants who played The Circle in the past include season one's Chris Sapphire and Sammie Cimarelli, season two's Courtney Revolution and Lee Swift, season three's Matthew Pappadia and Sophia Layne, as well as season four's Frank Grimsley and Rachel Sam Evans, among others.
The fifth season of The Circle features as many as five LGBTQ+ cast members: Chaz, Sam, Tasia, Oliver, and Paris. While we do learn a lot about them watching the show, it's also fun to follow these players on social media and keep up with what they're up to today.
Scroll through to meet the LGBTQ+ players on The Circle season five - and make sure to watch this season starting December 28 on Netflix.
