Was Paul or Steffi blocked?
Myles not only has to choose who to block, but also determine who the AI is. In episode 4, it was all about Steff or Paul, although she still suspects Kyle. Steffi is the only player on Myles’ roster that looks real, but he constant talk of astrology has raised doubts about his authenticity. Paul is a catfish because Caress pretends to be her little brother Paul. On the other hand, Kyle is not completely honest about who he is. He went inside Circle single, but in reality he is married.
First person banned in The Circle season 6
Teaser at the end Circle season 6 episode 4 shows Myles commenting “The main suspects are Paul and Kyle.” With Kyle being Myles’ friend, Myles is likely to block Paul. Max surpassed his fellow contestant and went undetected during the first four episodes.
The only contestants who suspect Max is an AI is Brandon, who pretends to be his friend Olivia.

Circle the Season 6 trailer telling the contestants that the AI still exists could be a tactic to alienate viewers and keep them on their toes.
