90% of Circa Survivor field still remains after Week 2
17 Sep 2025
The top five selections of Week 2 all won their matchups. Baltimore, Los Angeles and Detroit all won with relative ease, while Arizona and Dallas made those who picked them sweat. Dallas went into overtime against New York and pulled out a win. There was a chance the game would end in a tie. Ties do eliminate anyone who picked either team in a game in Circa Survivor. Pittsburgh, the sixth most-picked selection, ended up losing to Seattle causing 491 entries to be eliminated.
Losing teams with more than 100 entries rooting for them included Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Miami and Houston.
16,965 Circa Survivor entries have advanced to Week 3. This is over 90% of the original field, which was made up of 18,718 contestants. This is by far the highest percentage to reach Week 3 in Circa Survivor history. The previous high was in 2021, where 73.2% of the field remained. Last year, just 27.2% of the then record-setting field made it to Week 3.
Circa Grandissimo, the new ultra-luxury version of Circa Survivor, saw its first entrant be eliminated. One entry, Blue Jay Way Too, out of the total 69 entries ended up picking Pittsburgh. The remaining entries had to sweat out games including Dallas and Arizona. These 68 contestants have all advanced to Week 3 and are in contention for the $6.9 million prize.
