"Enrica" is actually Alina Bouveia. Alina is a seasoned reality TV competitor known for her competitive nature and strategic gameplay. Alina will be playing the role of "Enrica", a friendly and outgoing barista who plans to stay out of drama and focus on reading her fellow players. The seventh contestant is "Aaron". "Aaron" is actually Lauren Albizi, a charismatic sous chef who recently got married to her wife, Addisyn. With her magnetic personality and culinary expertise, Lauren plans to use her charm to make allies in the game as "Aaron", a 24 year old up and coming author of mystery novels. The eighth contestant is Isla. Isla Sumner, a reality TV star famous for her appearance on Mr. Eligible and subsequent rejection of the sexist bachelor, will be playing herself. Isla is known for her caring nature, but also her willingness to speak her mind and call out injustice. As the contestants enter their respective apartments in The Square, they each explore the apartment. "Enrica"/Alina messages Isla and immediately reveals herself as Alina, the survivor player. The two of them bond over their reality TV experiences. Isla confides in Alina about her marriage to Chelsea and talks about how happy she is to have met her. Alina discusses how tough The Strife was. "Aaron"/Lauren and William chat about fitness and health, bonding over their shared interest in working out. Lauren asks William for some workout tips or advice, with William bragging about his accomplishments in bodybuilding. Cristina approaches "Giorgio" / Dillon and starts to flirt with him. She tells him that she's really into older men and loves a man in uniform. However, "Giorgio" / Dillon is not interested in her advances and politely tells her that he is not looking for a romantic relationship on the show. Cristina is a little disappointed but brushes it off. Dillon then tries to strike up a conversation with "Brody" / Kelsey, hoping to learn more about her. However, "Brody" / Kelsey is very cold and doesn't seem interested in engaging with him. She gives short, curt answers to his questions and eventually ends the conversation abruptly, saying she has to go talk to someone else. Alina and "Marissa" / Andrew sit down to chat and get to know each other. Alina asks "Marissa" / Andrew about her background and her strategy for the game. "Marissa" / Andrew reveals that she is married with kids in real life and is hoping to make allies in the game. Alina agrees that it's important to have allies and suggests that they work together if they can. "Marissa" / Andrew seems receptive to the idea and the two continue to talk about their interests and hobbies. Isla and Lauren hit it off right away, with Isla making jokes and keeping Lauren entertained. Isla tells Lauren that she's excited to be on the show because she wants to show people that being true to yourself is more important than conforming to others' expectations. Lauren agrees, saying that she's happy to be on the show because she wants to challenge herself and step out of her comfort zone. Game ("Ice Breaker"): The players began playing a game, allowing them to learn more about each other. The first question is a bit of a warm-up: “What’s your favorite color?” All of the players answer honestly, and it’s a mix of blues, greens, and purples. They laugh and joke about the question, but things get a little more serious as the questions progress. The next few questions are a mix of serious and silly, covering everything from favorite TV shows to political beliefs. Some of the players reveal unexpected sides of themselves, like Cristina, who says she’s a libertarian, and Lauren, who admits she’s a fan of trashy reality TV shows. As the game winds down, the players are feeling more comfortable with each other, and they start to joke and tease each other a bit more. They all agree that they’re excited to see what’s next in the game. Cristina and "Marissa" / Andrew also have a conversation about their partying habits. Cristina reveals that she loves to go out and dance all night, and "Marissa" / Andrew admits that she doesn't party as much anymore now that she's a mom. Cristina jokes that "Marissa" / Andrew is missing out and should come out with her one night. "Marissa" / Andrew laughs and says that maybe she will. William and Dillon / "Giorgio" have a private conversation. William brags about his muscular physique and tells Dillon that he is amazed by how toned his own body looks. Dillon nods politely, but privately, he feels a bit uncomfortable with William's cocky attitude. He thinks that William is too full of himself and that he might not be a good team player. "Enrica" / Alina tries to chat with "Brody" / Kelsey. She starts off by asking him about his hobbies and what he likes to do in his free time, but "Brody" doesn't seem too interested in talking to her. He gives her short, one-word answers and doesn't really engage with her questions. Alina tries to keep the conversation going, but she can tell that "Brody" is not very talkative. "Brody" / Kelsey talks to "Aaron" / Lauren. "Brody" tells "Aaron" that he finds "Enrica" to be boring and uninteresting. He says that he doesn't think she is a catfish, as she doesn't seem to be putting on an act. However, he also thinks that she is not very exciting and that she might not be able to hold the group's attention for long. "Aaron" tries to be polite and nods along, but she also doesn't want to badmouth another player so early on in the game. She eventually excuses herself from the chat, feeling a bit uncomfortable with "Brody's" blunt demeanor. Episode Ends
Episode 2	"Enrica" / Alina is feeling a bit unsure of her standing in the game. She decides to reach out to "Aaron" / Lauren. They chat for a little while about their backgrounds and interests, but then "Aaron" suddenly brings up "Brody". Lauren tells "Enrica" that "Brody" has been badmouthing her behind her back. Apparently, he said that "Enrica" is boring and not worth talking to. "Enrica" is shocked. "Enrica" thanks "Aaron" for the warning and says that she will be more careful around "Brody" in the future and tells him that "Brody" has been pretty cold to her. The contestants are surprised by the arrival of a new player, Melina, a 30-year-old ghost hunter. The next contestant is "Melina". "Melina" is actually played by twins, Micalo and Silvo Giuti, who won The Square Season 2. Micalo and Silvo are both 30 years old and incredibly eccentric and charismatic. They love to socialize and have an infectious energy that draws people in. Since winning The Square in 2017, Micalo and Silvo started an electronic music duo called The Giuti Brothers. They have released three albums and have a dedicated fanbase that adores their eclectic sound and energetic performances. In 2020, Micalo got married to a woman named Celinia, while in 2021, Silvo tied the knot with his partner, Evan. As they step into the game as Melina, Micalo and Silvo are ready to use their social skills and charming personalities to their advantage. "Melina" and Isla bond over their shared interest in the paranormal. They discuss some of their experiences investigating haunted locations and swap stories about the strangest things they've encountered. "Melina" also shares some tips on how to protect oneself while ghost hunting. In her conversation with "Aaron" / Lauren, "Melina" talks about the challenges of being a ghost hunter and how it can be emotionally draining at times. She shares that there are often skeptics who dismiss her work as nonsense, but she remains passionate about what she does. "Melina" also mentions that her experience as a ghost hunter has made her more attuned to subtle energy shifts and she sometimes gets a "sense" about people or situations. Lauren listens intently and asks questions about "Melina's" work. In the general chat, "Aaron" makes an announcement that he was a catfish and her real name is Lauren. She is a sous chef from Ciunia and she lives with her wife, Addisyn. She then changes her pictures from "Aaron" to Lauren. Everybody is shocked. Melina, in private, wasn't expecting somebody to out themselves as a catfish within 20 minutes of them joining. "Marissa" and "Enrica" connect in a private chat room. "Marissa" starts the conversation by sharing that she is a proud mother of twin boys named Collin and Sean. She talks about how she has dedicated her life to raising them and how much she loves them. "Enrica" listens attentively, nodding along and showing genuine interest in "Marissa's" story. As the conversation continues, "Marissa" shares some of the challenges she has faced as a single mother and how she has learned to balance work and parenting. "Enrica" expresses her admiration for "Marissa's" dedication and shares some of her own experiences with family and motherhood. In private, "Marissa" / Andrew talks to himself about how he misses his family and how much he loves them and appreciates his wife for everything she does. Isla and William start talking about their careers, with Isla mentioning that she's now an interior designer. William interrupts her and says that he's a successful bodybuilder and that his job is much more impressive than hers. He goes on to brag about his body and his success. Isla nods along politely, but can't help feeling put off by William's arrogance. Lauren and Cristina are chatting, and Lauren mentions that she likes to paint in her free time. Cristina immediately jumps in and says that she's also an artist and that her work is amazing. Giorgio and Brody start talking, but Brody is very quiet and doesn't seem very interested in the conversation. When Giorgio asks him a question, Brody gives short, curt answers and doesn't engage in any small talk. Giorgio tries to make conversation, but can't help feeling like Brody is being cold and distant. Melina and Cristina are discussing their jobs, with Melina talking about her work as a ghost hunter. Cristina interrupts her and starts talking about her own experiences with the paranormal, insisting that she's had many encounters with ghosts and that she's actually a more experienced ghost hunter than Melina. Melina listens politely. The Ratings (Vote): William confidently puts Isla as his top pick, praising her physical appearance. Dillon, as Giorgio, bonds well with Marissa but strategically decides to place her at 4th in his ranking. Isla, on the other hand, has a low opinion of William and places him at 8th. Marissa finds Giorgio to be a potential ally and puts him at 3rd. Cristina sees Isla as a strong competitor and tries to strategically place her at 4th. Enrica values Marissa's kindness and places her at 2nd in her ranking. Kelsey, who is playing as "Brody," is feeling unsure about who she can trust in the game. However, she feels confident that she is doing well so far. She, as "Brody", decides to reach out to Isla in a private conversation and says that if she becomes the Influencer, he wants her to vote out "Enrica." Isla is taken aback by "Brody's" presumptuousness and is shocked that "Brody" has the audacity to tell her who to vote out. Isla becomes defensive and lets "Brody" know that she doesn't appreciate being told what to do. The conversation quickly ends on a tense note, leaving "Brody" to wonder if she has made a mistake. The Ratings (Reveal): 8th: Cristina 7th: William 6th: "Brody" 5th: Lauren 4th: "Enrica" 3rd: "Giorgio" 2nd: "Marissa" 1st: Isla Isla and "Marissa" are the Influencers this round. The Blocking (Discussion): Isla and "Marissa" discuss who to block from the competition. "Marissa" suggests that they discuss the other contestants one by one. They start with "Enrica", and Isla mentions that she enjoys talking to her. "Marissa" agrees with Isla's assessment. Next, they move on to "Giorgio", and "Marissa" says that she finds him to be fun to talk to, while Isla admits that she doesn't know him too well. They then discuss Lauren, and Isla brings up the point that "Aaron" revealing himself to be Lauren was a significant moment in the game. "Marissa" expresses her doubts about whether Lauren is a catfish or not, and Isla agrees that it's possible. Isla tells "Marissa" that she can't stand William, and "Marissa" admits that she feels the same way about Cristina. They both agree that "Brody", William, and Lauren are in their bottom three. However, "Marissa" mentions that she would like to save Lauren this round and choose between "Brody" and William." The Blocking (Reveal): Isla and "Marissa" announce to the main chat that they have reached a decision on who to block. The other contestants eagerly wait to hear the result.

The next contestant is Desmond. Desmond Lenmore, aged 31, is a seasoned reality TV contestant who has participated in Big Brother three times. His strategic gameplay and social skills have earned him the title of winner in his third season in 2021. Desmond is also a massive fan of The Square and is excited to take part in the competition. In 2016, Desmond participated in his first season of Big Brother where he met Shannon Craftia, a fellow contestant. The two struck up a connection that would eventually lead to marriage in 2019. Currently, Desmond and Shannon are expecting their first child, which adds an extra layer of motivation for him to win The Square. Desmond is known for his charm and ability to form alliances with other contestants. He is confident in his abilities and is eager to prove himself as a formidable competitor in The Square. His experience in Big Brother has prepared him for the challenges of reality TV competitions, and he is ready to put his skills to the test. As everyone gets access to the general chat, Cristina vent her frustrations over being last in the rankings. She asks if anyone has anything to say to her face. "Giorgio" and "Marissa" offer words of encouragement, telling her not to take it too personally and to keep playing her game. However, others stay silent, not wanting to engage with her outburst. Cristina continues to express her feelings of betrayal and hurt, making it clear that she won't let this go easily. Isla is cooking in her apartment and she starts to ponder the recent rankings, wondering why Cristina ended up at the bottom and why Brody, who just got blocked, was placed 6th. Episode Ends
Episode 3	William is not happy with the ranking either and expresses his discontent in the general chat. He tells the others that they are clearly jealous of him. Isla responds by saying that she voted him low because he is too full of himself. Giorgio also chimes in and tells William that he likes to brag about himself and it can be awkward. Back in his apartment, William is dismissive of their comments and says that they are just jealous of him. "Enrica", after witnessing the drama in the chat, decides to take a break from it and privately welcomes Desmond to The Square. She tells him that she's excited to have him here and hopes they can work together. Desmond thanks her and expresses his excitement to be playing in The Square.

Game ("Ask Me Anything"): One at a time, each player could anonymously pose a question to another player in The Circle Chat. That question has to be answered publicly. After it was answered, all players were able to respond, allowing them to voice their thoughts on the question and the answer. The first question (by Giorgio) is addressed to Cristina: "Why do you keep trying to one-up everybody?" Cristina says that she is just trying to be friendly and get to know everyone. She didn't realize that she was coming off as desperate and apologizes if she made anyone uncomfortable. The second question (by William) is addressed to Isla: "Do you really think you're better than everyone else?" Isla says that she is assuming that this question is from William and says that she doesn't think she is better than everybody else but knows that William thinks he is. The third question (by Cristina) is addressed to Lauren: "Are you Taylor Tortorice?" Lauren says that "Aaron" was her catfish identity but she felt like she needed to be her genuine self in the game. She says that, no, she is not pulling a Taylor. The fourth question (by Enrica) is addressed to Melina: "Are you a catfish? You give off catfish-vibes." Melina says that, no, she is not a catfish. She understands why somebody would question her as it is The Square. Like others, she is playing her honest self. The fifth question (by Isla) is addressed to Desmond: "Do you think you have an unfair advantage since you've played a similar game before?" Desmond says that he's aware that some people might view him as a threat because of his past experience, but he's just trying to play the game like everyone else. The sixth question (by Desmond) is addressed to William: "Do you really think people are jealous of you, or are you just arrogant?" William says that he worked hard for his body and wants others to appreciate his efforts. The seventh question (by Melina) is addressed to Isla: "Do you think you could have a real friendship with someone you've never met in person?" Isla says that people form friendships online all the time and she is no stranger to that. The eighth question (by Marissa) is addressed to Giorgio: "What is your favourite food and why?" Giorgio says that he loves sushi above all others. He loves the different flavours. The ninth question (by Lauren) is addressed to Marissa: "Why did you vote out Brody when he was higher in the rankings than William?" "Marissa" says that she doesn't have any regrets about blocking Brody. She thinks that he wasn't a good fit for The Square and she made the right decision. After the game, "Enrica" / Micalo and Silvo head to the bedroom and discuss how they gave the best answer they could. They agree that they need to find out who asked the question and get them out when they become Influencer. "Giorgio" / Dillon starts cooking and reflects on how surprised he was to receive a nice question while others were brutal. He talks to himself about his bond with Lauren and how he trusts her the most out of everyone in the game. "Marissa" / Andrew lies on the bed and thinks about the game. He praises Cristina for her impressive answer and says that Desmond isn't a threat to him. He thinks that someone wanted to make Desmond a threat. Lauren starts cooking food and thinks about how others might still see her as a catfish, but she hopes that she is making genuine connections. She trusts "Giorgio", Isla, and "Enrica" the most out of everyone in the game. "Enrica" / Alina sits on the couch, surprised that she didn't receive any questions during the game. She feels pleased that people in the game trust her since others wanted to call people out.
