The Circle season 7 finale is set to be released on October 2 on Netflix. The reality show, which centers around social media strategy gameplay, has aired 12 episodes so far.
Ten players joined the competition, with some opting to be themselves while others chose to use a fake identity. Either way, they formed multiple alliances that helped their gameplay and tried to be at the top of the rankings.
Netflix released a trailer for the final episode in the outro of episode 12. While the teaser was only 30 seconds long, it provided clues about what fans can expect from the finale and who might win the show.
The Circle season 7 finale trailer breakdown
1) Secret Super Influencer will eliminate one contestant
The Circle season 7 episode 11 introduced the power of the Secret Super Influencer. The contestant who received the title had the power to eliminate any cast member they wanted. The elimination would be "anonymous," which meant other players wouldn't know who the Secret Super Influencer eliminated.
Rankings for the title were scheduled to be held at the end of episode 12 of The Circle season 7. This list differed from the usual rankings where the top two contestants used to be crowned as the influencers and received the power to unanimously eliminate one of their cast mates. This time there was going to be only one influencer.
Contestants knew the importance of the title and the advantage that accompanied it. Everyone tried to be on the good side of each other to either get the top spot on the raking or be saved.
As revealed to the audience, Madelyn was crowned the Secret Super Influencer at the end of episode 12. However, her fellow contestants had no idea who had received the power. The trailer for the finale episode shared that Madelyn will be eliminating one player of her choosing. Instead of deciding in the influencer room, she will directly head to that particular player's room and eliminate them face-to-face.
Madelyn is at odds with Jadejha and Tierra. She could eliminate anyone of the two. However, since they're very close to the end of the show, she could target the strongest player and try to eliminate Kevin or Gianna.
2) Contestants come face-to-face
After the elimination by the Secret Super Influencer, the season 7 finale trailer revealed that the five remaining contestants will participate in their final ranking. After submitting their rankings, the finalists will dress up and meet each other face-to-face for the first time.
It will be interesting to see how the cast reacts to each other after communicating via text during the show. The contestants who used a catfish account will reveal their actual identities, shocking others in the process. Further, the remaining contestants will have a final dinner before the winner is announced.
3) Announcing the winner
After the dinner party, The Circle host Michelle Buteau will gather all the finalists and announce the winner of The Circle season 7. The winner will receive a cash prize of $100,000, and other finalists as well as previously eliminated players will join the celebration. Each contestant will then reflect on their journey and share the experience they gained from the reality show.
In the trailer clip, the two contestants were at the center of the celebration and had the biggest smiles on their faces, leading to speculation about who could go home with the cash prize.
The Circle season 7 episodes 1–12 are available on Netflix.
