In an effort to return to their original profiles, they needed to navigate the impending blocking. This twist forced Rachel and Madelyn to manipulate the game dynamics in their favor. They formed an alliance aimed at targeting Andy, persuading the others that he was untrustworthy and unpopular. In a strategic move, Madelyn decided to sever her ties with her showmance, Andy, to secure her place in the game.

Thanks to their machinations, Andy ended up in the last place, resulting in his blocking during episode 7. Rachel and Madelyn reclaimed their original profiles, managing to escape eviction. Before his exit, Andy, who was catfishing as Heather, warned Madelyn about Gianna’s intentions.

The official description of episode 7, titled Dawn of the Circle Dead, stated:

“A scheming player shakes up the chat with a strategic strike against a power alliance. Later, a zombie pep rally lifts spirits.”

What transpired in The Circle Season 7 Episode 7?

The episode began by revealing the ratings results, where the player who finished last would be blocked. It was a tight race between Kevin and Andy; ultimately, Kevin managed to secure the penultimate position and live to play another round. Conversely, Andy landed in last place, leading to his immediate elimination.

Heather, who was catfishing as Andy, expressed her confusion over the outcome.

“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 were in high spirits upon regaining their original profiles. Before departing, Heather met with Madelyn, who was taken aback to see a woman enter. Madelyn disclosed her role as a disruptor, along with Rachel, explaining that their disruption entailed a profile swap.

While Heather supported Madelyn, she contemplated whether to disclose her involvement in Andy’s elimination but eventually chose to keep it confidential.

“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 stated.

In her farewell message, Heather expressed gratitude for her journey and held the disruptor mode accountable for her downfall.

Madelyn subsequently initiated tension by accusing a member of the “Circle Bros”for Andy’s elimination, indirectly pointing towards Darian’s possible disloyalty. The players expressed their unease with this revelation.

Later, Madelyn partnered with Kevin to focus their efforts on Darian, aiming to sever his connection with Jadejha. She remarked:

“Andy told me that Darian planned on ranking you towards the bottom to save his Circle wife and her alliances.”

Meanwhile, Jadejha rallied her allies Garret, Darian, and Gianna to discuss Madelyn’s scheme, agreeing that her goal was to instigate discord. Darian noted that Madelyn was withholding information because “she had nothing.”Jadejha pledged her loyalty, vowing to protect her allies.

Additionally, The Circle newcomer Tierra formed a bond with Rachel and Madelyn, supporting their strategy to backdoor Darian. Together, they aimed to reinforce the girls’ alliance and threaten Darian’s position in the game.

The cast later prepared for a zombie-themed pep rally. They were then prompted to rate each other. After submitting their ratings, they activated the disruptor mode. With the exceptions of Nicky and JoJo, who were catfishing as Gianna, every other cast member opted to disrupt, ultimately leading to Darian becoming the disruptor.

In a thrilling conclusion, it was revealed that the player with the highest rating would secure the title of the first influencer, while the second would be chosen by the disruptor.
