In the seventh season of The Circle, contestant Heather Rich employed a catfishing strategy by assuming the identity of her former love interest, Andy Glass. This Netflix reality show serves as a social media strategy game, where participants must craft their profiles on the platform. Contestants can choose to portray their authentic selves or adopt someone else’s identity during the competition.
Regardless of their approach, The Circle contestants must create an authentic-seeming profile to become the top influencer in the game. They communicate through text and form alliances to strengthen their standing in the competition.
Andy Glass, a 35-year-old bassist hailing from Michigan, was the profile Heather decided to use. She is well-acquainted with him and presented herself as a “guy involved with a band.”In reality, Andy is a member of the band We Came as Romans.

Heather from The Circle Discusses Using Andy Glass’s Profile
In a post shared on September 11, Heather reflected on her experience in The Circle and elucidated her choice to utilize Andy’s profile. Accompanying the post were several pictures of the pair together over the years, and she shared her excitement about finally discussing her time on the show after filming last year.
Having been a fan of the Netflix series since its premiere in 2020, Heather always aspired to participate. Her chance came in the summer of 2022 when a casting producer approached her.
The VIP tour manager elaborated on her decision to join as a “dude,”stating:
“If you know anything about me, you know I grew up a WWE fan and burp a lot and wear all black, etc. This is a game of first impressions, so I knew my personality and messages would come across more naturally if I catfished as a dude.”
Heather clarified that her bond with Andy was why she chose him for her catfish identity. She explained:
“When choosing the catfish mask I would play, the most important thing to me was picking someone who would fully invest themselves in this experience with me. Someone who would do this WITH me, instead of simply just giving me their name + photos. That’s why Andy was the easy choice.”
Episodes 1 through 8 of The Circle season 7 are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
