Netflix's The Circle season 7 aired episodes 5-8 this week on September 18, 2024. The segment saw the contestants continue competing against each other and form alliances to save themselves from an upcoming block. However, one contestant's strategy fell short, as they were blocked and eliminated from the competitive reality show.
Heather, aka Andy, was blocked after ranking last in episode 6. Her elimination was played out in the following episode. As part of the show's format, the eliminated player could meet one contestant in person and Heather chose Madelyn, one of her closest allies. However, she was unaware that the latter had ranked her last to save herself.

The Circle season 7 star Madelyn and Heather aka Andy's last conversation explored
After Andy aka Heather's, elimination was announced in episode 7, she decided to go see Madelyn before she left the building. The latter was shocked to see that Andy was a catfish and said that she was "not Andy."
The two hugged and Madelyn said that the female cast member looked like the female version of Andy. The player introduced herself as Heather and told her that Andy was "real." She explained that the two were close friends and that he was a bass guitarist in a metal band.
Madelyn told Heather about her and Rachel swapping profiles and said that she wasn't sure if they had even spoken recently. For the unversed, Rachel and Madelyn had to swap profiles until the next blocking. Heather stated that they did have a "spicy" conversation.
Madelyn asked The Circle season 7 star if she had any "final piece of advice" for her. The cast member told her not to trust Gianna and explained that she believed her elimination had something to do with her.
"So, I'm rooting for you, I really am. 'Cause you were gonna be first for the rest of the game for me. I really want you to take this all the way. I really do," Heather said.
After Heather left, Madelyn broke down in tears as she felt responsible for the cast member's elimination from the Netflix competitive reality show.
