"I'd been after him the whole show, and then we had the ride-or-die thing happen, and we really did connect. But, when this super-secret influencer came up, I was like, 'If I keep him, QT's going to win. If I take him out, I stand a chance'," he told Entertainment Weekly.
"And I know Jordan was trying to do his manipulation thing, but I was like, 'Girl, I got this. I've already thought about this'. In the back of my head, I was like, 'Poor Cassie', so I already had him on my radar. This is my last chance at the prize."
He pre-empted that fans of the show would be "pissed off" by his win, but reasoned that The Circle is "a game" after all.
"There was going to be one winner, and I wanted the winner to be me. I felt like I played fair. But it was so rough. I knew it was my only option, but I didn't feel good about it," he continued.

"I just took away his chance of winning, and he's been here from the start. But I wanted to also show that I pulled my weight."
Brandon opened up on the conversation he and Myles shared after the blocking, describing him as the "sweetest guy".
He said: "We wrapped the finale, and then we all get shuttled back to this hotel, and of course, we're all jacked up on adrenaline and champagne, so we can't go to bed. Then a lot of people went to bed, and it was me, Lauren, Myles, and Jordan, and we all stayed up till 4am and I had a 7am flight.
"We hung out all night, we got free beers from a wedding party. It was so random. But Myles instantly came up to me and was like, 'Dude, honestly, no problems at all. If I were you, I would've done it too'. Now we talk every day. He's seriously the sweetest guy. It blows me away, because in the show, I was like, 'I can't stand you'."
The Circle is streaming on Netflix.
