#Roommates, if youre a fan of Netflixs hit reality competition series The Circle, then you know by now that the latest season featured an incredible twist, courtesy of winner DeLeesa St. Agathe, who shocked fans with an expert strategy for playing the game to the tune of $100,000. We caught up with DeLeesa to find out how she pulled off winning the series and whats next for her and her growing family!
Diving right into her killing the competition and ultimately winning The Circle, we asked DeLeesa if she expected to win from the beginning and what it was like competing at such a high-stakes level. To be real, as competitive as I am, I was hoping Id get at least to the finale. That was really my number 1 goal because its so hard to even get picked for a show like this, to even make it to the finale, let alone win, chances are slim to none.For me it was emotional AF. It was fun, yet stressful, youre constantly trying to build your strategy, youre in isolation, I missed my family but yet everything was so exciting lol, lets just say my ugly cry face made more than 1 appearance, she explained to us.
She also gave us a bit of insight into her strategy for winning the game, including pulling off the twist no one saw coming. DeLeesa said, I didnt want to be considered a weak player or too much of a strong player. My strategy was to get people to like me enough that they felt they could trust me but at the same time they also wouldnt see me as a threat to their game. Then ban, outta nowhere the underdog comes up on top. Give the people what they want! As for her future in reality TV, she revealed she would definitely be down to give it another try if the opportunity presented itself.
However, winning The Circle isnt the only thing that DeLeesa St. Agathe has on her full plate these days, including her family YouTube channel with husband Trevor and their children. She elaborated on motivation to enter the YouTube space a few years ago.
Me & my husband real Trevor started our YouTube channel back in 2018 right before we got married. Weve been together since 2017 and its been one hell of a ride. We are the definition of a millennial couple now turned family, making it work. So our YouTube channel embodies all of that. We keep it real and raw, entertaining and loving. We dont sugarcoat nothing. We argue on camera and love each other just the same. We dont get to see enough of the millennial black love that pushes and fights through challenges. Thats why we created our YouTube channel.
Finally, DeLeesa is all about being a businesswoman and has several projects in the works, including an upcoming childrens book and continuing to work on her businesses, BeUniqueShoppe.com and co-owner of GoodieBoxStore.com. While were waiting for season three of The Circle, well continue to rewatch DeLeesa pulling off the perfect win that had all of America cheering.
