The Circle season 7 has been full of turns and twists. In this strategic social media competition series, contestants compete to become the top influencers. Additionally, the top influencer has the power to block any of the players eventually eliminating them from the show.
One of the main twists this season was the disruptor mode in which, the cast members are unaware of what power they will have. The first contestant to choose this option and activate it ultimately received either an advantage or a disadvantage in the game.
Up until now a total of eight episodes have been released, and five players have been declared as disruptors so far, including Gianna, Kevin, Madelyn, Rachel, and Darian. The Circle season 7 premiered exclusively on Netflix on September 11, 2024. The show's synopsis reads:
"Clever catfish, shady tactics, and game-changing twists collide as a new group of players competes for $100,000 in the most cutthroat season to date."
Contestants who have been disruptors on The Circle season 7 so far
1) Gianna
The Circle cast member Gianna was one of the first players to activate the disruptor mode. Gianna is a catfish played by twin brothers Jojo and Nicky. In the first few episodes, Gianna's position in the game was threatened especially after catfish Andy played by Heather was declared as the top influencer.
Andy took this opportunity to block Gianna, but as Nick and Jojo were the disruptors, it worked to their advantage. Gianna was given immunity in the game and saved themselves from being eliminated.
However, the disrupt mode doesn't always work to the people's advantage. As contestants are unaware of which power they will receive, this makes the game even more risky.
2) Kevin
The second disruptor in The Circle season 7 was Kevin who was ready to change the game dynamics by becoming the disruptor. He was given the chance to host an online party for the newcomers Garret and Madelyn.
This meant he had one advantage to get to know the new players and potentially make an alliance with them. He was the first one to meet them before anyone else and get to know them better. Through this advantage, Madelyn was loyal to Kevin till the end of episode 8.
3) Madelyn and Rachel
Next up were The Circle players Rachel played by Deb and Madelyn. In episode 4, two people were declared as the disruptors. Both Rachel and Madelyn had to swap their social media profiles and play as one another.
This unexpected twist got Rachel and Madelyn closer and they worked together to survive in the competition till the next blocking. Ultimately, the two succeeded and none of the players could guess from their conversations that the profiles had been switched.
4) Darian
In episode 7, Darian was The Circle cast member who became the disruptor. Darian was given the responsibility of choosing the second influencer, and the highest-rated layer would become the first influencer.
On the basis of votes, the first influencer was declared as Gianna and the second was Kevin, who was chosen by Darian. From Darian's perspective, he was hoping that his 'bro' alliance with Kevin would save him, as he was last on the list.
However, in a turn of events, Kevin decided to target Darian instead and tried to persuade Gianna, to block him. However, Gianna wasn't on the same page and was wary of Kevin's motives as he threw his alliance under the bus and even lied about Darian targeting Gianna.
Stream The Circle season 7 exclusively on Netflix. Episodes 9 to 12 will be released on September 25, 2024.
