"Your funeral"— The Circle fans criticize Darian for picking Kevin over Jadejha as 2nd influencer 

The Circle season 7 aired episodes 5-8 on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. The segment saw the contestants continue in the race to become the ultimate top influencer and the recipient of the $100,000 grand prize.

The new season introduced several twists in the game, including the Disruptor mode. Any player could become the disrupter and would be given either advantages or disadvantages. In episode 7, Darian chose to become the disruptor and picked Kevin as the 2nd influencer in the following episode.

Fans criticized Darian for picking Kevin over Jadejha, his top ally as the 2nd influencer online. One person wrote on X:

"DARIAN WTF BRO??? Jadejha was right there!! chosing kevin is your funeral"

"Darian, it was dumb as f—k to choose Kevin! Over Jadejha?! He didn’t speak up for you not one time when Madelyn was coming for you, and he already sent a strong alliance of his home!" a fan commented.

"DARIAN CHOSE KEVIN OVER HIS GIRL JADEJHA!? WTF!? Never trust straight men in these games EVER! It's that he needs to stay for Jadejha's wins but OMFG," a tweet read.

The Circle fans pointed out that Jadejha was labeled "The Greatest Darian Defender of all Time":

"Oh this dude Darian is STUPIDDD. Jadheja was literally labeled as "The Greatest Darian Defender of all Time" and yo a** kept questioning why Kevin wasn't defending you the whole damn time. He's stupiddd key example of how ni**as will really do you," a person wrote.

"Darian really chose the man who openly blocked someone he claimed as his #1 over the woman who's been openly defending him," a fan commented.

"I'm legit gonna cry out of frustration for Darian. He is literally innocent in all of this, and now chose the worst person to defend him in the influencer chat. Dude was blinded by the "bro code" that was barely there. This is so dumbbbbb," a tweet read.

The Circle season 7 fans further said:

"Not me SCREAMING JADEJHA AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS WHEN DARIAN WAS PICKING THE INFLUENCER... YOU F*CKED UP MY DUDE YOU F*CKED UP. on that NOTE My girl JADEJHA gets that Circle Crown and that bank! She deserves it," a person wrote.

"OMG. Darian why in the f*ck would you choose Kevin over Jadejha when you know she has held you down since Day 1? That was the most stupid thing you’ve done! Now look at you!" a fan commented.

"I know that you're 100% loyal with the bros" — The Circle star Darian picks Kevin as influencer in episode 8

The Circle season 7 episode 8 started with the cast ratings and Darian placed last while Gianna aka JoJo and Nicky Scarlotta became influencers again. Darian, the disruptor, was not worried about his place in the game since he trusted Gianna to look after him.

He wondered who he could pick as the 2nd influencer that would gel with Gianna. The following day, The Circle season 7 star made his decision. He contemplated who to pick and said that Kevin was someone who was "possibly good to chat with." He wanted to see where the player's head was at.

After a round of the Circle Chat and a game, it was time for Darian to pick the influencer. He said he needed to ensure his safety in the upcoming blocking. The Circle star added that he was torn between his "number-one girl, Jadejha," and his "number-one bro, Kevin."

"If I choose Jadejha, it's like my safety is 100% locked in. I feel like she gonna have my back 100%. Then I have my boy Kevin. We had a good chat. We pretty much solidified like, "I know that you're 100% loyal with the bros" and that's not changing," he said.

The cast member added that he didn't see Kevin breaking the "bro code" and therefore, selected him. Fans of the show chimed in on Darian's decision online and were critical of his choice to pick Kevin over Jadejha.
