GAME WINNING ADVICE:
Last January, ET spoke with Joey Sasso about what it was like winning season 1 and taking home $100,000. The Rochester, New York, native also revealed that his strategy since day one of the game was to be "100 percent genuine," adding that it was "never even a thought" in his mind to portray someone else.
"I knew that it could have been fun, to pose as some hot girl screwing with guys, but I just knew that this was a game. And the only way I know how to compete in anything I do in life is by always being myself," he explained. "I knew coming in I had to be true to myself and speak from the heart."
"The friendships are what I hold most close to my heart about this experience," he added of the importance of building bonds early-on in the game. "The money and winning, that's cool, but I know that money comes and goes; it doesn't last. What lasts is the relationships you build with people."
Season 2 of The Circle begins streaming Wednesday, April 12 on Netflix. Hear more in the video below.
