"It's finally time to put our hostility to a side"— Gianna agrees to block Darian in The Circle season 7 episode 9

The Circle season 7 episode 9 started with influencers Kevin and Gianna at odds about who to block from the Netflix competitive show. While Gianna wanted to block Garret, Kevin was adamant about blocking Darian.

Although Gianna gave in and agreed to block Darian, they wondered who Kevin's alliances were. While the latter didn't initially want to name names, The Circle season 7 star Gianna said they wouldn't trust Kevin until he proved himself. Kevin hesitantly named his alliance members, which included Garret, Tierra, Rachel, and Madelyn.

They reminded him about taking the fall in the upcoming blocking and said that moving forward, they would be the "new #PowerDuo."

"It's finally time we put our hostility to the side and work together," Gianna said.

With the influencers coming to a common decision, Darian was eliminated from the reality show. Upon finding out about the end of his journey, Darian said he felt betrayed by Kevin since he chose the cast member as the second influencer.

"Kevin you f*cked me with that one, dog," he said.

The cast had mixed reactions about the cast member's elimination. Tierra, Jadejha, Garret, and even Gianna were upset by the blocking. Meanwhile, Madelyn stated that her "lying" had paid off. She said that although she felt bad, she didn't feel "that bad."

Garret wondered how he and Jadejha would be able to continue their alliance without him since the influencers blocked "25%" of it. Jadejha said her "chest" hurt seeing her #CircleHusband go home.

"Just know I'm coming for all y'all," she said.

The Circle season 7 cast member added that she didn't trust anyone in the game anymore. Meanwhile, Kevin knew he had to take the blame but was ready and called himself the "comeback kid."

The cast got an alert, informing them that Darian would visit one of them before leaving the show. Darian said he would "obviously" meet "Queen Jadejha."

"That's the person I should have trusted. Um, Gianna, I thought we would've rocked out for a minute, but I d*mn near wanna meet Kevin. Kevin, you snaked the sh*t out of me, dog," Darian said.

Jadejha said she wanted The Circle season 7 eliminated player to meet her, but she would have gone after Kevin. When Darian arrived in Jadejha's room, the two shouted in excitement. The two hugged while Jadejha exclaimed that he was "real."

He told The Circle season 7 star that he had been "dying" to see her and that he had expected them to be "in the end." The two asked each other their relationship statuses and discussed the game a little. Jadejha took Polaroid pictures of the two of them together before they kissed each other goodbye.
