Netflix’s The Circle’s Seaburn Williams, AKA Rebecca, answers questions for iClick TV on their time so far on the show. Seaburn is pretending to be his girlfriend Rebecca and he was gracious enough to give iClick all the details about his choice. Read his interview below:

ICTV: Besides the chance to win $100k, did you have any other reason you wanted to go on The Circle?

Seaburn: Well, I went on the show to prove that we are raising our boys wrong. We expect men to be strong, but also, we want them to not be emotionally weak. Like for example, they say a man is not supposed to cry. But crying is healing for the soul.

ICTV: What made you decide to be someone else, specifically your girlfriend, Rebecca?

Seaburn: So, I decided to play someone else because it’s a game and I didn’t want to be dull. But, I also wanted the challenge. As for using my girl’s image, I wanted to use her because I would not be looked by the girls and they wouldn’t think I was trying to get with them and it would make it easy to bypass that security system women have.

ICTV: How did she react when you told her that you would be using her name and pics on the show?

Seaburn: She was super excited and she said, “Why me?” and I told her it would help me to get far in the [game] and possibly win. So, she was on board from that moment forward.

ICTV: How weird or difficult was it to flirt with other guys?

Seaburn: It was the hardest part that I had to do. I was sooooo grossed out. Like ewww another guy is trying to mack/spit game to my lady.

ICTV: What line were you not going to cross?

Seaburn: To be honest, I was not going to represent her in a bad light where I would talk about our sexual endeavors or say anything that would make her look bad. I’m not here to sell her out or destroy her rep I wanted her to look amazing.

ICTV: Obviously, you are still on the show and being someone else is working for you. While watching the show as the episodes drop, how was it to watch yourself attempting to be Rebecca?

Seaburn: Oh man…it was funny and exciting because I see it now and I’m like I could have tweaked a couple of things, but I know that I did it the way I did because I was speaking from a place of truth. Which is from the heart, but I look like a goofball.

ICTV: What was the most stressful thing about pretending to be someone else?

Seaburn: Oh thank God I am me again. Because it was like you had to think of all the things you would do and say and not do any of them, but you had to make up a whole person and that comes with even thinking like them. So you have to use two brains and that is hard because you have to remember your not that person in real life.

ICTV: If you could go back, would you still pretend to be someone else or would you choose to be you?

Seaburn: I would still be someone else because it’s a game and it was fun and exciting because you didn’t know what to expect.

ICTV: When you asked if anyone thought Chris was cute, and Sammie pointed out that he was gay, did you think that the others may be on to you?

Seaburn: Ok, so I never got to explain that idea I really meant did she think he was adorable. But, you know how fast The Circle is and it doesn’t wait for any explanations. But, I wasn’t worried about being caught I just was trying to make sure I didn’t slip up again.

ICTV: How did you handle your time alone in the apartment all to yourself?

Seaburn: Well, if I wasn’t cooking, I was using my imagination to build forts and make up stories. I would also read books and talk to Wonder Woman. And work out in the gym it was never a dull moment.

ICTV: Did you bring anything to keep you occupied?

Seaburn: Well, I had books and my Wonder Woman so it kept me really on point in making me think.

ICTV: I know that you cannot tell us anything storywise, but we saw a hot tub on the roof. Can you tell us how everyone was able to get up there by themselves?

Seaburn: Well, they would be escorted by someone. We couldn’t have any contact with the other players or be seen by them. They made sure that did not happen at all.

ICTV: Out of the people we have seen so far on The Circle, who is your favorite and why?

Seaburn: Shooby, but I think he is everyone’s favorite. I just had the strongest connection with him and he is my bother and I meant every word I got his back ’til the end.

ICTV: Who is your least favorite and why?

Seaburn: Well, I don’t have a least favorite because I love all the guys in their own way and it was a game. In real life, they are amazing people.

ICTV: Fans are enjoying your reactions to what is being said by the others when communicating on The Circle. How does it feel to have so many people loving your reactions and to see that you have been made into a GIF?

Seaburn: Ok, so that was the coolest part because I didn’t think that would happen. Because I just make faces LOL and what comes out is what comes out LOL. But its soooo freaking cool.

I have to admit, watching Seaburn be Rebecca is extremely entertaining. How many guys would be willing to pull this off on national television? I live for his reactions to the drama.

Thank you for this delightful, but insightful interview. I will be watching to see if you ever become comfortable pretending to be a woman or if this becomes too much.

Remember to tune into Netflix on Wednesdays to see more episodes of “The Circle!”
