The Circle Season 7: Winner Gianna Shares Reaction to Madelyn’s Lies

The finale of The Circle season 7, which aired on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, featured Gianna, also known as JoJo, and Nicky Scarlotta claiming victory and taking home the grand prize of $100,000. This exciting segment brought the entire cast together as long-held secrets began to unravel.

During the finale, Kevin disclosed that he had blocked Darian after Madelyn informed him that Darian was untrustworthy. In response, the female contestant admitted that she had lied; she explained that although Heather, also known as Andy, had warned her about Gianna, she chose not to mention it as it would have negatively impacted her gameplay. The cast member mentioned that Darian was an easy target and revealed that Heather had been ranked last during her elimination by Madelyn.

The Scarlotta twins, who triumphed in the Netflix reality competition, shared their thoughts with Entertainment Weekly on their win and Madelyn’s strategies on October 2, 2024. Nicky admitted he was unaware of the extent of Madelyn’s deception, while JoJo recalled how Madelyn had placed 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 noted.

JoJo acknowledged that Madelyn played a clever game, skillfully manipulating her way to the finale.

While reflecting on Madelyn’s gameplay and her emotional outburst during the finale, cast members were asked about their reactions. Nicky expressed sympathy but remarked that Madelyn had herself stated that it was all just a “game.”

“She kind of is the villain,”Nicky commented.

He suggested that Madelyn had brought these feelings upon herself and wondered about the depth of her emotions. JoJo recognized Madelyn’s responsibility for her actions, asserting that it was sad to see her cry, but it also helped to divert attention away from Gianna.

Responding to a question about who posed their biggest competition in The Circle, Gianna and the Scarlotta twins identified several contestants starting with Kevin. JoJo remarked that they initially perceived Kevin as their main rival.

Nicky concurred that Madelyn was definitely a formidable competitor. He highlighted that throughout The Circle season 7, Madelyn maintained her position in the middle and frequently lied, making her a significant threat. However, as the season progressed, they felt that Jadejha emerged as one of their strongest challengers.

“I didn’t know how crazy she was going where she started the group chat with Madelyn and Tierra after the Darian incident. Definitely didn’t know that was happening,”Nicky shared.

The twins admitted that they were blindsided by Jadejha’s group chat because they had previously defended her on multiple occasions. The contestants expressed their regrets about not being able to save everyone, leading to the blocking of Darian and Garret.

As the season drew to a close, the brothers contemplated blocking Jadejha but ultimately decided against it, fearing negative repercussions for their game strategy. They noted that Kevin probably wouldn’t take the blame for such a move and that it could have turned the group against them.

Further commenting on Garret’s blocking, Nicky expressed his regret for the player. JoJo added that he felt bad about blocking Garret since the Scarlotta twins genuinely admired him. Gianna stated that they could have possibly made a different decision regarding Garret’s blocking.

All episodes of The Circle season 7 are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
