"The game is rigged" — The Circle fans disappointed to see Kevin become an influencer for the third time

Episodes 9-12 of The Circle were released on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. After Darian's shocking elimination in Episode 9, the remaining cast members realized no one could be trusted. While influencers could manipulate the game using the power in their hands, the powerless contestants had to scramble to secure their positions in the competition.

As a result, in Episode 10, A Circle Trilogy, each player tried to consolidate their alliances before heading into the ratings. The only way to guarantee immunity was by becoming a high-rated influencer.

Kevin and the Scarlotta twins, aka Gianna, responsible for Darian's blocking, were the influencers in Episode 9. Kevin faced backlash after he took the heat for Darian's eviction. Since the cast members were against him, he knew he would be rated low in Episode 10's ratings. However, he finished in second place, while Gianna finished in first. Together they took on the role of influencers for the third time.

The Circle fans were surprised to see Kevin become an influencer again. They wondered how he finished in second place when most contestants disapproved of his gameplay. They took to X to comment on the cast member's feat.

"The game is rigged cause why is Kevin an influencer a third time," a fan wrote.

"This season is so rigged. How the F**K Kevin and “Gianna” are influencers, AGAIN?!" another fan commented.

"The F**K you mean Kevin is an influencer AGAIN?!?! I think the Circle is playing games with us y'all. And she likes white dudes," a netizen tweeted.

After Darian's elimination, Kevin was targeted by most players. As a result, no one expected him to perform well in the ratings. The Circle fans were surprised to see Kevin finish in the second spot, wondering if the other cast members played a double game, pretending to be his rival.

"and how is KEVIN influencer AGAIN!? he just had a target on his back and has a track record for blocking all his allies. who is rating him this high? some of yall lyingggg," one netizen wrote.

"How TF is Kevin an influencer when most of the people was bashing him in the game in E9?" a user reacted.

"HOW IS KEVIN an influencer after that last decision everyone hates him and was like he’s not a threat and that’s why he’s up again," a person commented.

"How tf is Kevin still influencer. People need to learn how to speak their minds and get Kevin and Madelyn out," another fan wrote.

At the same time, some fans of The Circle commented on how impressionable Gianna was with Kevin as the influencer.

"They say two heads are better than one but somehow the twins keep allowing Kevin to run game on them in the influencer meetings," another person reacted.

"So disappointed the Giana bros folded for devious Kevin. They should’ve held firm as the number influencer and not blocked Darian!" one user tweeted.

The Circle cast members become suspicious of Kevin's intentions

After Darian's elimination in Episode 9, he met his beau, Jadejha. He told her Kevin was his "number one bro" in the competition. Darian thought he was safe since he was one of the influencers involved in the elimination process. However, he was wrong, which made him suspicious of Kevin's loyalties.

When Jadejha revealed the information in the Circle Chat the following morning, everyone began doubting Kevin. They wondered if he was responsible for eliminating his alliance members, Andy and Darian. Kevin justified his action by claiming that he had learned about Darian's intention to betray him from a source. Although several questions were raised about the identity of the "source," Kevin refused to answer them.

The Circle star entered Episode 10 feeling vulnerable, aware of the target painted on his back. Soon, it was time for the contestants to rate each other. Jadejha placed him first because she thought everyone else would rank him last. She needed him to stay in the game for her benefit.

Meanwhile, Rachel locked him in her second place. She wanted to keep him close since they knew each other's identities. On the contrary, Garret placed Kevin last, stating he did not want to be involved in Kevin's game.

When the results were announced, Gianna and Kevin finished first and second, respectively, becoming influencers for the third time. They celebrated while the others stared in disbelief. The Circle influencers then went to the hangout to discuss the blocking. After much deliberation, they decided to block Garret from the game.
