The Circle season 7 finale, which aired on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, saw Gianna, aka JoJo, and Nicky Scarlotta emerge victorious, winning $100,000. The segment brought the entire cast face-to-face, as secrets began to spill.
When Kevin revealed he blocked Darian because Madelyn told him he was untrustworthy, the female cast member revealed she had lied. She explained that Heather, aka Andy, had warned her about Gianna, but she felt bringing it up would have hurt her game. Madelyn stated that Darian was an easy target and told Heather she had ranked her last during the elimination.
The Scarlotta twins, who won the Netflix reality competition, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about their win and Madelyn's tactics on October 2, 2024. Nicky said that he hadn't realized how much she had lied, and JoJo recalled the cast member putting them in a group chat with Rachel to eliminate Andy, aka Heather.
"The whole pot got stirred because of Madelyn. And it didn't end there. Throughout the whole season she kept lying and lying," Nicky added.
JoJo said that Madelyn played a "good game" since she manipulated her way to the finale.
"She kind of is a villain"— The Circle season 7 winners react to Madelyn crying at the finale
The cast members were asked about The Circle season 7 finale. While speaking about Madelyn's gameplay, they were asked how they felt when she started to cry. Nicky said that although he felt bad, Madelyn herself said that it was a "game."
"She kind of is the villain," Nicky said.
He added that Madelyn did it to herself and wondered how bad she must have "really felt." JoJo held The Circle season 7 participant accountable for her actions and said that while she was responsible, he was sure she must have felt bad. He added that it was "sad to see her cry" but stated it took the heat off of Gianna.
Gianna, aka the Scarlotta twins, were asked who they believed their biggest competition in The Circle was. The contestants had a list that started with Kevin. JoJo said that they initially thought Kevin was their biggest threat.
Nicky added that Madelyn was "for sure" a competition. He added that since Madelyn was in "the middle" throughout The Circle season 7 and would often lie, she was a "big threat." However, towards the end of season 7, they felt Jadejha was one of their biggest competitors.
"I didn't know how crazy she was going where she started the group chat with Madelyn and Tierra after the Darian thing. Definitely didn't know that was happening," Nicky said.
They said they were caught "off-guard" by Jadejha's group chat because they had fought for the cast member multiple times. The Circle season 7 contestants said they couldn't save everyone, and unfortunately, Darian and Garret had to be blocked.
Towards the end of the show, the two brothers deliberated blocking Jadejha but felt it would have harmed their game. They said that Kevin wouldn't have taken the heat for it, and they would have been on the group's bad side.
The contestants further chimed in on Garret's blocking, and Nicky said he felt bad for the player. JoJo said he felt bad about blocking Garret because the Scarlotta twins loved The Circle season 7 contestant as a person. Gianna, aka, the twins, said that they could have probably made a "different decision" about blocking Garret.
All episodes of The Circle season 7 are available to stream on Netflix.
