Eliminated contestants of The Circle season 7 after episode 12

1) Savannah Miller (episode 4)

The 22-year-old Savannah hails from Texas. She introduced herself to the game by sharing her story of survival after doctors discovered a tumor in her brain. She also expressed her desire to "overshare" and be true to herself. Savannah felt a connection with Kevin and often called him "#CircleHusband." She was nominated by Kevin, with whom she had formed a strong bond.

Before being blocked, she was allowed to meet one person, and she decided to see Kevin. Savannah expressed her shock at being betrayed by Kevin and revealed that Rachel (played by Deb) was against Kevin, as mentioned in the at-risk player chat.

"She was like, 'Is he as genuine as we think, or did he just invite Gianna to the party for the part of his game?'" Savannah stated.

Heather is a 26-year-old roadie for various bands. On the show, she decided to play "Andy," a bass player who is Heather's friend in real life. After becoming the top influencer, she blocked Gianna from the game, but due to the disruptor mode, the latter made a comeback and plotted against Andy.

To the surprise of many, Gianna got support from Madelyn in The Circle to oust Andy. Together, with the help of Rachel, Andy was blocked from the competition in the next ratings, resulting in Andy AKA Heather's elimination.

Episode 9 saw Kevin and Gianna mull over whom to block from all the players as they were voted the top influencers. Even though Kevin claimed to be Darian's ally, he wanted to change the game and eliminate a person who might be difficult to remove later.

Gianna agreed to the elimination on The Circle only if Kevin took the fall for putting Darian's name as Gianna considered Jadejha an ally. Jadejha had a strong connection with Darian and questioned Kevin's decision later. After being blocked, Darian decided to meet Jadejha, and despite being upset, they expressed their love for each other.

"I'm just glad I got to put my eyes and my hands on my Circle wife," stated Darian.

4) Garret Caillouet (episode 11)

As the game of The Circle drew close to the finale, Gianna and Kevin again became top influencers. After consulting with other players like Madelyn and Rachel, they decided to block Garret. Just before the voting, Garret had a one-on-one chat with Rachel, and they connected on a deeper level. After their chat, Rachel said she didn't want to put Garret last anymore.

Garret decided to meet Rachel before leaving, and to his surprise, the 56-year-old Deb greeted him. They both became emotional as they shared their stories and fears. Garret explained that after their chat, he wanted to know more about Deb and shared his fear of living alone, which stemmed from him living alone in Dubai outside the show's sets.
