On December 9, Netflix unveiled the first castmates to enter The Circle season 5, and fans want to know more about contestant Marvin Achi. The new season flaunts a roster of hot and hungry singles that are ready to mingle. Every contender is looking for love, providing a new and potentially game-altering dimension to the competition.

The Circle is a gameshow where competitors must interact with one another solely online through social media profiles. The players must form alliances and compete in challenges in hopes of obtaining popular votes from their peers. Each week, the two “influencers” with the most votes have the power to banish one of their own. Contestants can compete as themselves but also as another person and must avoid being "catfished" by other The Circle players.
