The Circle season 7 episode 6 was released on September 18. While the latest season premiered its first four episodes on September 11, episodes 5 to 8 heightened the intensity of the game as the contestant pool got smaller.
Episode 6 introduced a new contestant, a 28-year-old, Tierra, to the mix. Tierra, however, was Antonio, a 31-year-old man who was playing as his best friend.
The episode also saw the disruptor between Madelyn and Rachel continuing as the contestants geared up to rate each other. The new rule was that the lowest-rated contestant would straight up go home.
The houseguests also played the game of Wild Cards, which increased suspicion on Heather disguised as Andy, and Kevin. As a result, the two became the lowest-rated players in the game. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, before revealing the bottom-most player.
What went down on The Circle season 7 episode 6?
The episode started with the contestants in the house evaluating the newcomer Tierra, who was Antonio catfishing as his best friend. In The Circle group chat, Jadejha and Garret welcomed Tierra and invited her to dance at the wedding party. Tierra then texted that she was adopted and was all about family, so she hoped they would accept her in their The Circle family.
The other houseguests instantly connected to her emotionally and welcomed her into their family. After they woke up the next morning, the players received an alert that informed them that they had to rate each other. But in a shocking twist, The Circle said that the bottom-rated person would be immediately blocked from the game.
With Madelyn and Rachel's identities swapped, they faced the biggest threat. In a private chat, the two decided to keep Andy as their last rating because that was the only way to save themselves. Rachel agreed and said that they needed Gianna to do the same rating.
Gianna agreed and decided to go after Kevin in the next round. Kevin on the other side, struck up a chat with Tierra. He told her that Jadejha and Darian, and Andy and Madelyn would have each other as their top votes, and asked her if she was down to ally so they could have each other's backs. Tierra agreed.
Then was the time for Wild Cards, a game that had the contestants choose Tarot cards based on the other players' personalities, anonymously. Garret, Madelyn, and Gianna all earned The Insta Baddie card. Kevin was the anonymous chooser for Jadejha's card, and he picked The Tea Spiller card, just to change people's perceptions of her.
Darian picked a card for Rachel keeping in mind the ratings that were to follow. He picked The Gentle Catfish card for her. Rachel in turn, picked 'The Sneaky Strategist' card for Darian, intending to loosen people's trust in him. Garret chose the 'Alliance Breaker' card for Kevin which made the Scarlotta Twins happy because of their rivalry with the 23-Year-old.
Kevin worried about Tierra thinking badly of him especially because they just allied. Tierra said she was going to be careful of Kevin. Gianna then chose The Alliance Breaker card for Andy because she wanted him gone, according to her strategy with Madelyn and Rachel.
Heather disguised as Andy got emotional because she thought nobody wanted her in the game. She texted Darian to see if her bro alliance still stood strong. Darian reassured her and said it did.
Rachel disguised as Madelyn texted Tierra in an attempt to get her to side with the #GirlSquad. She told her that they were aiming to eliminate Andy and if she was in on it too, she could also be in on "#GirlSquad".
Tierra accepted the offer and pledged to eliminate Andy. She also outed her alliance with Kevin after Madelyn wrote she was ditching her #CircleHusband because he told her he cared for Andy more.
The ratings results were out and Madelyn was the highest-rated The Circle contestant, which safeguarded Rachel's position. The second highest-rated contestant was Rachel, which safeguarded Madelyn's position.
In the third position was Jadejha and in the fourth was Garret. Gianna was on the fifth, Darian was on the sixth and the episode left viewers on a cliffhanger before it announced the last two positions.
Episodes 9 to 12 of The Circle season 7 will come out on September 25, on Netflix.
