A post shared by Joey Sasso (@joeysasso)

"I’ve been in the business so many years and am used to this stigma that doing reality TV means the death of your career. I turned down other reality opportunities before, but there’s never one that I heard of that’s quite like this, where I can truly just go in and represent myself. I’m not in a house with other people starting drama, getting drunk, and hooking up with people, like we’re so used to seeing."

What is the prize for winning The Circle?

Lucky Joey was awarded $100,000 prize money for winning the show.
