Darian Holt a 29-year-old, middle school teacher from Houston, Texas, is a participant in season 7 of Netflix's popular reality series The Circle. Darian is prepared to compete as himself.

With his teaching experience, Darian is skilled at managing different personalities and resolving disputes, which will help him avoid elimination in the social strategy game. A graduate of Alcorn State University, Darian gained online popularity when a video of his sixth-grade students mispronouncing his fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, went viral.

Since then, Darian has made the most of his internet persona and used it as a means of encouraging and uplifting people, particularly young people. To win the $100,000 cash prize, Darian applies his real-world skills as a viral influencer and educator to The Circle.


Darian's social media presence

Darian has over 34,000 Instagram followers and has created a loyal online community. His postings reflect his experiences as a teacher, event host, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. member. His Instagram handle, @dee_holt, chronicles his life in and out of the classroom, frequently showing his kids and his job as an influencer.

One of Darian's most memorable events occurred when his viral video was transformed into a youth organization named "Apple Fried Apple." This campaign seeks to instill a sense of belonging in students by introducing them to Black Greek life and historically Black schools and universities.

He has become a well-known figure in the community because of his enthusiasm for education and ability to inspire others.

In one of his Instagram posts, Darian shared his excitement about being invited as a guest on the Nick Cannon Show. He captioned the post with:

“Sooooo ya boy Mr. Apple Fried Apple🍎🍟🍎 made it on the Nick Cannon Show!!! Excited that I could speak with a Mogul like Nick and just share my story and energy to the world.! This was a super dope experience like no other. Just a Mississippi boy tryna make moves! Full episode airs on VH1 this Thursday for St. Patrick’s Day☘️ @ 1:00! So tune in! #MamaIMadeIt”

He also announced his involvement in The Circle with an Instagram post:

“ALERT🚨‼️: Your boy Dee Holt has officially entered into The Circle! Catch me on Season 7 of The Circle Netflix next week! Circle close chat #CircleNetflix #Season7 ⭕️”

His Instagram is filled with motivational messages and moments of joy with his students.


When does The Circle season 7 air?

The first four episodes of Season 7 of The Circle will be released simultaneously on Netflix on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. The release dates for episodes 5-8 are September 18, September 25 for episodes 9–12, and October 2 for the season finale.

The show will stick to its well-known formula, in which participants battle one another while corresponding solely via The Circle, a social networking network. With $100,000 at stake, players have the option to play as themselves or take on a catfish character, which gives the game a fascinating strategic component.


What happened during The Circle's last season?

The Circle's sixth season, which debuted earlier in 2024, featured some intriguing new features. The fact that it was the first time an AI player was added to the game is what makes it most noteworthy. The apartments were also redesigned to give the contestants more space, enhancing the social experiment’s dynamics.

Despite forming a powerful alliance known as TresFuego, none of the alliance members won. Instead, Brandon Baker emerged as the victor after successfully catfishing his way to the top.


Stay tuned to see how he navigates the competition and whether Darian's Southern charm helps him outlast the others.
