Netflix’s ‘The Circle‘ brings contestants from diverse backgrounds to compete in a game. They interact solely through text, with eliminations determined by votes from fellow players. In the seventh season, Kevin Fernandez, also known as K-Fern, emerged as a strong contender who quickly adapted to the game’s demands. He skillfully built connections, made tough decisions, and actively engaged with others, giving him an edge. Fans admired his long-term strategy and appreciated his enthusiasm and upbeat attitude, which undoubtedly contributed to his success.
Kevin Fernandez Made Smart Alliances to Secure His Position
Kevin Fernandez, who introduced himself as K-Fern from San Diego, California, was thrilled to be part of the seventh season of ‘The Circle.’ In real life, he works as an alcohol and wine sales rep, but for the game, he chose to play using his real face and name while telling the others he was a lifeguard. Since this persona was close to his real life, the other players found it difficult to suspect he was “catfishing.” Kevin landed in fourth place in the first round of ratings, but he wasn’t too disappointed. When he activated the “disruption mode,” he hosted a party for two new contestants, Madelyn Rusinyak and Garret Caillouet, and invited two original players to join.
Since Kevin had been closely interacting with Savannah Miller, she was surprised he didn’t invite her to the virtual party. Kevin, however, was strategizing and focused on building connections with Madelyn, so inviting Savannah needed to align with his plans. He formed an alliance with Darian and the other party attendees. When the next round of eliminations came, it was no surprise that Kevin topped the rankings and became an “influencer.”
He entered discussions with Gianna (twins JoJo and Nicky Scarlotta) about who should be eliminated and worked hard to save Savannah but ultimately prioritized keeping Andy (Heather Richardson). Savannah visited him before her exit, and while Kevin felt terrible to see her go, he knew his focus had to stay on the game. In the following days, tensions from the elimination arose, with clear lines drawn between alliances. Kevin made his loyalty to Madelyn, Heather, and Darian Holt known and attempted to bring Garret into his team. But alas, with the game moving on, his priorities shifted, so he ended up eliminating Heather as well as Darian, only to then establish a connection with Gianna and Rachel (Debbie “Deb” Levy), which all worked out in his favor as he ended up being the runner-up.
