The Circle Season 7's seventh episode featured different group chats between various participants. Each of them had their own strategy, and they wanted to save themselves. While doing that, some of them also had their minds made up about targeting particular participants.
In a similar incident featured in the seventh episode, a new alliance was formed between Deb ("catfishing" as Rachel), Madelyn, and Antonio (catfishing as Tierra).
After Tierra started a group chat, the trio discussed who to target and how to make it happen. After agreeing to target Darian, Madelyn shared the message,
"Three strikes, you're out. #ByeByeDarian…Heather/ Andy had only good things to say about Kevin, and I was also able to chat with him today. With Andy gone, he might be #ForTheGirls… But we shall see."
The Circle stars Madelyn, Rachel, and Tierra strategize against Darian in episode 7
After Tierra, aka Antonio, started the group chat and invited Rachel and Madelyn, they seemed at ease with each other. Thus, the "ladies" shared their views on who to target.
The narrator described the situation as,
"And what Tierra needs right now is to make her own alliances, so she's about to interrupt reading and recreation time with a group chat. Ooh, this better be good."
Soon, after Tierra asked what Madelyn and Rachel were thinking, the latter shared,
"As for the #HitList, I don't think Kevin is a huge threat anymore. #DarianDeflectsTooMuch, so maybe Darian is on the list."
Madelyn agreed and shared that Darian had given her "#BadVibes." Rachel then mentioned how Darian was "playing with both Gianna and Jadejha." She called him "#TwoTimer."
Tierra then agreed with Rachel and confirmed how Darian was being "#MrDefensive."
The Circle stars Rachel, Tierra, and Madelyn strategize further and agree to rate Darian as "very low" in the upcoming ratings.
"ABSOLUTELY. Darian definitely was #MrDefensive. It opened my eyes so much, and with him being the strategist, taking him out is the best for us ladies." messaged Tierra.
After realizing her thoughts were similar to Tierra's, Rachel told the cameras she "created" Tierra. She also jokes about whether she "willed Tierra into being."
"This is great. Kevin, Rachel, Tierra, and obviously Madelyn is going to rate Darian very low," Madelyn confessed.
She then messaged that with "three strikes," Darian would be "out." Madelyn also mentioned how Andy/ Heather shared "only good things" about Kevin.
Agreeing with Madelyn's views, Rachel typed,
"Darian, it is! #StrategySquadFTW"
Tierra also agreed with Rachel's and Madelyn's views and said they were "exactly" her sentiments.
"Looks like Darian is the next one out. Ladies, I am down to rock with you till the end. #LockedIn."
Tierra felt "really good" about her last message and shared that she got everything she "needed" from that chat.
