What happened in The Circle season 7 episode 10?
After Darian's elimination, the remaining seven contestants scrambled to secure their alliances. The episode started with Kevin inviting Gianna to a private chat, wanting to discuss their next target. While Gianna confessed Rachel was her biggest competition, Kevin revealed that Jadejha and Garret were his.
They concluded that with Garret out of the picture, they could weaken Jadejha's position in the game. As a result, they agreed to rate Garret last, and then steer their attention to Rachel and Jadejha. Although Gianna saw Kevin target his allies, Jadejha and Rachel, she accepted his plan because it was the only way she could remove the stronger competitors from her way.
In another segment, The Circle star Antonio, aka Tierra, attempted to consolidate a relationship with Jadejha by opening up about his past. However, Jadejha was not too keen on allying with the cast member. At the same time, she did not want to give Tierra the impression that she was against her.
In an emotional conversation, Antonio, aka Tierra, revealed how his mother saved his life when he grew up living in foster homes.
"I do miss my mom now," Antonio said.
Jadejha responded, revealing she recently lost her grandfather to cancer. Since they raised her, she felt it was her responsibility to "be somebody." Despite feeling emotionally drawn to Tierra, Jadejha refused to connect with her.
Then The Circle players played Pick 3, where they chose three things they could not live without out of 15 items. While some contestants came up with generic answers, others mentioned debatable items in their top three. Rachel's answer, "Social media, s*x, pets," surprised the others, whereas Jadejha's picks, "Gym, Therapy, Sleeping," failed to impress them.
On the other hand, Kevin was the sole contestant who chose "money" as one of his three words. After the game, Madelyn invited Rachel to a private chat, hoping to fish out who her next target was. After some back and forth, The Circle stars agreed to target Garret.
While Rachel was talking with Madelyn, Garret invited the former to a private chat. He admitted the person who seemed like the most untrustworthy was Tierra. He complimented Rachel's gameplay and hoped they could go to the finale together. Despite forming a pact with Madelyn, Rachel's loyalty to her started dwindling. The Circle star felt emotionally drawn to Garret and said:
"Rachel cannot be the one to block Garret."
The contestants soon started rating each other. After the results were announced, Kevin and the Scarlotta twins, catfishing as Gianna, became the influencers for the third time. Meanwhile, Garret was rated last.
As a result, The Circle influencers were to decide who they wanted to block. Immediately, Rachel, Madelyn, and Tierra were removed from their radars. They agreed to keep them in the competition because they could benefit their gameplay. In the end, they were left with Jadejha and Garret.
While Kevin rooted for Jadejha's elimination, Gianna disagreed, considering she was their strongest ally. Kevin tried to convince them by pointing out that removing Garret would not help since he was not a threat.
"I understand you have an alliance with Jadejha. However, Garret was last in ratings and poses no threat. Period," Kevin said.
Although Gianna agreed with Kevin's standpoint, she protested, saying she could not appear as an "alliance breaker."
Meanwhile, in the At Risk chat, the remaining contestants discussed how Kevin and Gianna became influencers for the third time. Tierra and Garret confessed they were missing a part of the puzzle that played in favor of Kevin and Gianna.
The influencers were ready with their results, however, the episode ended on a cliffhanger, leaving the viewers anticipating who they would send home.
The Circle season 7 finale will be released on October 2, 2024, only on Netflix.
