Spoiler alert: This article contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 6 finale of The Circle.
Attention all reality TV buffs: The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! After a season brimming with ruthless strategy and game-changing twists, Season 6 of The Circle is officially ready to crown its winner.
The highly-anticipated finale is now streaming on Netflix, leaving us all with one burning question: Who wins Season 6 of The Circle? Read on for all the known details!
And don't go anywhere because, in an exclusive interview with Distracitfy, the champion revealed how winning The Circle has impacted their life since filming ended.
Who wins Season 6 of 'The Circle'?
Following the season's "most painful" elimination, which sees Brandon Baker (aka Olivia) block Myles Reed from the competition, the remaining players dive straight into their final rankings. Then, they gather for their final Circle chat — and it's a face-to-face experience!
Once the initial shock of discovering Olivia's catfish identity wears off (seriously, there's a lot of shouting, and Kyle Fuller is utterly speechless, especially since he and "Olivia" form a flirtatious bond during the season), host Michelle Buteau unveils the rankings.
In fifth place is Lauren LaChant, with Jordan Staff trailing in fourth. Now, onto the top three: QT Bullock secures third place, meaning it's between Kyle and Brandon/Olivia.
In the end, Brandon/Olivia emerges as the winner of The Circle Season 6!
As the contestants celebrate together, a visibly shocked Brandon shares that he plans to use the $100,000 prize to pay off his mom's house so she "doesn't have to work so hard anymore." Wow, what a sweetheart!
Brandon said he was "in shock" when he won 'The Circle.'
In an exclusive interview with Distractify, Brandon disclosed details about his The Circle win and how it's transformed his life.
"It still hasn't hit me that it's happened," he explained. "Everything is happening all at once and it's so amazing, but I'm also just kind of like, 'Did it happen? Like, I know it's happening but like, did it happen?'"
Brandon also admitted that he was unsure "how to react" when watching himself win The Circle, expressing, "I was in shock because I was not expecting it at all!"
OK, we had a feeling Brandon would walk away with the $100,000 and earn the coveted title of The Circle winner. His strategic gameplay, genuine connections, and supportive demeanor made him a standout amongst the players. Thus, it's no wonder he emerged as the most popular player and ultimately claimed victory!
Brandon also shared with Distractify that while winning The Circle was "obviously" his goal, "making it [to the finale] did not seem like it was something that was gonna happen."
Reflecting on his journey, he continued, "And so when I made it just to the finale, I was like, 'OK, I'm set. I'm happy if I don't win at this point, it's OK because I've already accomplished way more than I thought I would.'
Recalling the moment he was announced as the winner, Brandon told Distractify he was in total disbelief. He added, "I was like, 'There's no way!' I remember vividly, like, latching on to Kyle and just being like, 'I can't process this right now.' I was pretty much like, 'Hold me, hold me,' because I was like, 'I don't know what to do!'"
Brandon is now gearing up to kickstart his comedy career.
When asked if he plans on using his platform from the Netflix reality competition series to pursue any specific goals or projects, Brandon exclusively revealed to Distractify his intent of launching a comedy career.
"I have always loved comedy and making people laugh. That's always been the goal. I do stand-up and stuff like that; I haven't in a while, but I still write my comedy," he said. "So, I'm hoping, maybe, I can continue to entertain people because that's the dream. I just want to make people laugh and feel special in a world that is a lot of times very dark."
The Circle is now streaming on Netflix.
