Season 4 of Netflix’s hit social media reality TV series The Circle gave fans an exciting new celebrity wrinkle by adding two members from the iconic ’90s pop group The Spice Girls. While Emma Bunton and Mel B lasted less than halfway through the season before getting blocked, the real standout was Frank Grimsley, who used a brilliant strategy to outwit the other players en route to the winner’s circle.
As always, one of the aspects of competing on shows as popular as The Circle is the inevitable spike in social media followers that result. Those interested in keeping close tabs on the 12 players who competed on The Circle season 4 are in the right place.
Parker Abbott – @parkerabbott
21-year-old Miami native and sorority girl Parker Abbott opted to play The Circle as her 56-year-old father Paul during season 4. Alas, she was not able to keep the charade going for very long and was blocked during episode 2.
Despite the quick exit from the hit reality show, Parker remains quite active on Instagram, TikTok, (@parkerrabbott), and Snapchat (snapchat.com/add/parkerangelica), although she does not seem to be a big fan of Twitter. After spending recent time in Las Vegas, Parker recently shared an image of herself in sunny Los Angeles.
Mel B – @officialmelb
Fans of the ’90s pop music got a blast from the past when Mel B (Melanie Brown) and her fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton joined season 4 of the acclaimed social experiment reality TV show, teaming up to portray a 28-year-old children’s author named Jared. Unfortunately, their plan didn’t go as well as imagined and the pair had to leave the show during episode 5.
In addition to posting recent selfies for her 1.5 million followers on Instagram, Scary Spice can also be followed on Twitter at @OfficialMelB, although she does not seem to be all that big on TikTok or Snapchat.
Eversen Bevelle – @reverend_dr_e
Georgia native and professional cruise director Eversen Bevelle made a valiant run through The Circle apartment by playing as himself. Although he entered later than most in week 7, the 35-year-old managed to finish in 5th place by being honest and straightforward.
In addition to posting a slew of workout videos on Instagram, Eversen stays active on Facebook as Reverend Dr. E, where he recently posted about his experience on The Circle. As for Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok, Eversen has been featured on such platforms but doesn’t appear to have his own personal channels to follow.
Alex Brizard – @awildbriz
Alex Brizard is a 28-year-old banker from Arizona who opted to play The Circle as a college student named Nathan. Thanks to his manipulative gameplay, Alex lasted 10 episodes before eventually getting blocked by the other players. Fans of the show who want to follow Alex can do so on Instagram, Twitch (@awildbriz), or via his cartoon podcast at anchor.fm.
For those who want to keep even closer tabs on Alex, he can be found on Twitter (@AWildBriz), and TikTok (@awildbriz), where he has been recently musing about his memorable time on the show.
Josh Brubaker – @bruontheradio
Known simply as Bru, Josh Brubaker used his gregarious personality as an L.A. radio host play as himself, where he lasted 12 long episodes on the binge-worthy Netflix reality show before becoming blocked by the others. Like most Gen-Zers, Bru is active across several social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok, the latter platform for which he got to interview Tom Cruise for Top Gun: Maverick.
Knowing a thing or two about branding, Josh keeps the @BruOnTheRadio handle for Twitter as well, although he doesn’t seem to be active on Snapchat at this time.
Emma Bunton – @emmaleebunton
Also known as Baby Spice, Emma Bunton had a ball pretending to be a male children’s author in his 20s on The Circle season 4. Alas, she and Mel B left the competition during week 5 when their alter ego Jared failed to earn enough votes.
With 1.3 million followers on Instagram, Emma has recently posted about her support for women’s choice, as well as throwback photos of her and Mel B. In addition to promoting her new book, Mama You Got This on linktr.ee, Emma is currently active on Twitter @EmmaBunton.
Rachel Evans – @rachelsamevans
Houston-based paranormal researcher Rachel Evans did a tremendous job to finish in 4th place in The Circle, doing so as her genuine self without an ounce of dishonesty. Her ability to make friends went a long way, which is partially why she has 107k Instagram followers to date.
With a hilarious personality that shines through on her social media, Rachel can also be found on TikTok (@rachelsamevans) and Twitter (@rachelsamevans), where she has been posting dance videos in anticipation of Stranger Things season 4.
John Franklin – @_johnfranklin_
Despite pretending to be his 63-year-old Italian mother Carol, 24-year-old John Franklin managed to endure 11 episodes before ultimately getting blocked by the other players on the highly rewatchable reality TV show. A bold effort, the New Jersey-based comedian/musician continues to reflect on his time on the show on Instagram.
As the second-youngest player in season 4, John understands the importance of a strong social media presence, which is why he has accounts to follow on TikTok @johnfranklincomedy, Twitter, Cameo, and even his own website at johnfranklincomedy.com.
Frank Grimsley – @franknthecity
The outgoing and extremely likable Maryland social worker Frank Grimsley entered The Circle in episode one and walked away as the first place winner 13 episodes later by being his true self. His warm smile and infectious personality were simply too charming to block.
With nearly 100k Instagram followers, Frank can also be found via the same handle on TikTok. Whether discussing his time on the show, documenting his workout and dance routines, or enjoying vacation time, Frank has just as much fun online as he did on the show.
Crissa Jackson – @crissa_ace
Harlem Globetrotter Crissa Jackson opted to play as herself in The Circle, lasting a solid seven episodes before her fellow players blocked her out of the apartment. The 31-year-old baller continues to showcase her outsized personality on social media.
In addition to having 1.1 million followers on Instagram, Crissa has a whopping 14.2 million TikTok followers thanks to her hilarious skits, basketball tricks, dance videos, and the like. Crissa can also be found on Snapchat and @Crissa_Ace1 on Twitter.
Alyssa Ljubicich – @alyssaljub

In addition to garnering over 78k Instagram followers, the 27-year-old New Yorker can be found on YouTube, where she gives sex advice, and on TikTok, where she mixes advice with personal testimonies, dance videos, holiday vacations, and more.
Trevor St. Agathe – @trev_saint
After his wife DeLeesa won The Circle season 2 by playing himself, Trevor St. Agathe was invited to compete in season 4 of the drama-filled Netflix reality show. Trevor opted to play as Imani, one of DeLeesa’s friends, convincing the others so well that he earned an impressive 2nd-place finish.
Aside from having nearly 50k Instagram followers, Trevor also has TikTok, YouTube, and a website account at thesaintsfamily.com, where several of DeLeesa’s social media accounts can also be found.
Yu Ling Wu – @yulingwu
San Francisco brand consultant Yu Ling Wu portrayed herself, radiating immense style and charm upon joining the competition during the first episode. Her effervescent personality and strategic gameplay led to a stellar third-place finish.
With over 150K followers @yulingwu on Instagram, the 25-year-old has a stunning array of colorful content for fans to cherish, including a makeup tutorial series on her personal YouTube channel. If those sites don’t keep fans busy, be sure to check Yu Ling on TikTok, where she has 68K followers.
