Netflix premiered the latest The Circle Season 7 on September 11, 2024. The much-awaited competition reality show is narrated by Michelle Buteau and is scheduled to release over four weeks. Currently, fans eagerly await the show finale, which is scheduled to air on October 2, 2024.

While fans await the finale, here are some essential details regarding the biggest blindsides by the contestants in the current season. Viewers already witnessed four eliminations as of now, which were:

The Circle Season 7: Eliminations up to Episode 12:

  • Episode 4: Savannah Miller
  • Episode 7: Heather Richardson (catfishing as Andy)
  • Episode 9: Darian Holt
  • Episode 11: Garret Caillouet

The Circle Season 7: Andy and Darian's eliminations - Biggest blindsides

The Circle Season 7 featured 11 contestants. While most of them entered the show on the first day, a few recently joined. Contestants Madelyn and Garret joined The Circle on the second episode, while Antonio entered on episode 6.

The remaining participants were Savannah Miller, Heather Richardson, Darian Holt, Deb Levy, Jadejha Edwards, Jojo and Nicky Scarlotta, aka Scarlotta twins, and Kevin Fernandez, aka K Fern.

As discussed earlier, four participants out of the 11 have already been "blocked" on the show, two of whom have been the "biggest blindsides."


1. Andy, aka Heather's elimination

The Circle Season 7 Episode 7 featured Heather Richardson's elimination. On the show, she presented herself as Andy (the fake persona known as "catfishing"). Heather has a real-life friend, Andy, who is a bass player. She came on The Circle as "a female version" of Andy.

Earlier on the show, after Heather became an influencer, she blocked fellow participant Gianna (the Scarlotta twins.) However, Gianna was safe with the "disruptor" mode and later blocked Andy, aka Heather. Things unraveled in Gianna's favor after Madelyn planned the whole thing, and Rachel helped her.

As a result, Andy was eliminated in the seventh episode due to Madelyn's backstabbing. Before her exit from the show, Heather went to meet Madelyn face-to-face, which shocked the latter. Everyone was under the impression that Andy was a male individual.

"I literally could not tell her that I was the reason that she was leaving. I do not feel good about myself right now," confessed Madelyn.

After their meeting, Madelyn confessed she felt "bad" for orchestrating Andy's elimination.


2. Darian's elimination

The ninth episode of The Circle Season 7 saw another blindside by the contestants in the form of Darian's elimination. Before his elimination, Darian was the "disruptor," meaning he would receive either positive or negative power. Later, he was notified about his power to make any participant an "influencer."

Darian was confused between his two strong allies, Jadejha and Kevin. He chose the latter as the influencer, who joined the already-decided influencer, Gianna. As per the show's format, influencers can "block" a participant, who is then sent home.

Upon Kevin's suggestion, the influencers blocked Darian from the show. Despite being in alliance with Darian, Kevin, who later called it the "ultimate betrayal," chose Darian for the elimination.

As a result, in the show's ninth episode, Gianna notified everyone via message and mentioned that Kevin blocked Darian in a "disagreement." Hence, everyone also learned it was Kevin's sole decision and that he backstabbed Darian.

Before his exit from the show, Darian went to see Jadejha, his "Circle wife," and shared,

"Gianna also warned me about Kevin, saying he's a backstabber. She was very right because you see where I'm right now."

Darian also received quite a backlash from his fans for choosing Kevin as the influencer.


Both of these eliminations, i.e., "Circle blockings," from the show's seventh season, have been the biggest blindsides by the contestants so far.

Fans can stream The Circle Season 7 episodes on Netflix, while the remaining - Finale Episode will be released on October 2, 2024.
