What happened in The Circle season 7 episode 7?

The episode started with the revelation of the rating results. Whoever ranked last would be blocked from the game, and it was a close call between Kevin and Andy. However, Kevin survived the elimination by coming in the penultimate position. Meanwhile, Andy, who came in last place, was immediately eliminated from the competition.

Heather, catfishing as Andy, got emotional after the results were declared.

"I just don't know what happened. I don't know what I did. Like, what made me go from first to last?" Heather said.

Meanwhile, Rachel and Madelyn celebrated as they returned to their original profiles. Before leaving, Heather visited Madelyn, who was surprised to see a woman walk through the door. Madelyn revealed she was the disruptor alongside Rachel, and for their disruption, they had to switch profiles.

While Heather rooted for Madelyn, the latter wondered if she should reveal her contribution to Andy's eviction. She ultimately decided to keep her role a secret.

"I literally could not tell her that I was the reason that she was leaving. I do not feel good about myself right now," Madelyn said.

The following day, the cast members were surprised to learn about Andy's real identity. Heather thanked everyone for the journey in her goodbye message, holding the disruptor mode accountable for her downfall.

Madelyn decided to stir drama by blaming a "Circle Bros" member for Andy's elimination. Although The Circle star did not disclose a name, she hinted at Darian's alleged disloyalty. The players felt conflicted with the news.

Later, Madelyn allied with Kevin to target Darian and break his connection with Jadejha.

"Andy told me that Darian planned on ranking you towards the bottom to save his Circle wife and her alliances," she said.

The Circle star Jadejha assembled her allies Garret, Darian, and Gianna to discuss Madelyn's strategy. They all agreed Madelyn intended to stir the spot by spewing lies. Darian said Madelyn did not reveal anything because "she had nothing." Jadejha swore her loyalty to them, promising to protect them.

Meanwhile, The Circle newcomer Tierra formed a connection with Rachel and Madelyn, agreeing to backdoor Darian. They decided to consolidate the girls' alliance and jeopardize Darian's game.

Later, The Circle cast members prepared for a zombie pep rally. Soon, the players were asked to rate each other. After they locked in their ratings, they were allowed to activate the disruptor mode. Besides Nicky and JoJo, catfishing as Gianna, every other cast member chose to disrupt. However, it was Darian who became the disruptor.

Towards the end of the episode, it was revealed that the player with the highest rating would become the first influencer, while the disruptor would choose the second influencer.

"This is going to be one hell of a decision," Darian said.
