[@Baby_bat17052]

Now it makes sense that the girl who was squatting in red light green light had to give up. I didn’t understand why but now knowing that she probably had to do that for up to 20 minutes now I get it.

[@stacherywelles4017]

No one told her dumbass to squat when u know u have to stand still for so long lol. She did that to herself

[@tuanoful]

damn, yeah! forgot about her.

[@tuanoful]

I also did not understand why people laid on the ground when they ran. Now we know, they were probably super tired and by doing this they could be comfortable for those long waiting periods!

Really?? I was there. They gave us two sets of thermals and heavily advised us to wear both before we shipped out to the hangar. I was fine personally, and cleared that round. It was a long day of filming, and the pose holding really was at least 10-15 minutes each stoppage, but it was Squid Game...not summer camp. Idk what some people were expecting.

[@HIM27th]

Has anyone noticed while watching squid game the challenge, right after the part where the very first group couldnt agree on picking the shapes for Dalgona you noticed a hole was punched through the triangle wall. There probably was some kind of altercation but they didnt show it. It was kinda weird how abrupt they stopped filming what happened after.

[@KaitlynMcCary]

Just rewatched that part. Looks like the guy ran into it too hard when they raced for their shapes

[@HIM27th]

@@KaitlynMcCary yes you're correct. I also had to go back and rewatch it

[@stacherywelles4017]

I was also so confused as to why they completely cut out their reactions to getting eliminated like that. And only showed the shock off the people in the other room. I also thought maybe they all got really pissed so they cut it out or something. Because it irritated me bad that we never saw them on screen again after that reveal

[@Elusivearth]

Lmap it's pathetic ypu care this much about a very obviously fake show

[@guy8646]

A contestant said one person ran too hard into the wall and made the hole by accident.

[@brittnash95]

Makes sense why the one guy’s mom kept her hands in her jacket pockets during the red light green light scene.

[@tuanoful]

Yeah! so many things make sense now. 1. Hands in pockets (many players did this and I didn't get it) 2. Squatting get quits 3. People just running and then laying flat on the ground. But if you have to wait 20 minutes, hell yes I would do that. I don't get why it took them so long to do this game. 10 people watching cameras should have been enough to quickly eliminate contestants.

After watching this show, it made me realize that reality shows of sorts pretty much extort the participants in some way. They are literally in the eye of the whole nation and/or whole world. Seeing them at their best or their worst. When I saw the participants breakdown and cry, it made me feel so bad. And also I don't know if anyone watched the credits but they had psychologists and a mental health expert which kinda shocked me

The thing that sticks out to me is they only focus on the first game, was there issues with other games? I don't know, but I get the feeling that sure there may have been some issues in Red Light Green Light but the rest of the games we're probably a success. I guess this also answers the question of "what will you do for $4 million", and standing still for 20 minutes is too much to ask.

If it was so bad, you could leave at any time. You signed up for it. There are actual people in the world living in inhumane conditions where there is no prize at the end and they have no choice. How are they going to be able to go pee while playing the games? They can’t take breaks otherwise it defeats the purpose of the games and challenges And there’s hundreds of people, like with any show they spot the ones who are the most vocal and entertaining and have a story line. That’s how tv works

Oh yeah and HOW CONVENIENT that they two last people had to go throw about 90% of the keys before the safe opened. BULLSHIT!!!! does anyone ACTUALLY think a 'key' opened that safe. Furthermore....

Trying to make like the contestants that got eliminated look like they "died" just felt empy. It didn't feel like it was any real consequences.

sounds like those are some salty loser contestants. What I didn't like, was the bullying in episode 2. F that guy in particular that threatened violence. How dumb can you be? threaten someone with violence ON CAMERA.

It is Squid Game so what else was expected . It was always going to be a mess and a capitalistic chase. Using people's financial vulnerabilities and desire for fame as a contingency plan to leverage the participants. If anything I believe the least they could've done is pay all the contestants for their time being on set maybe daily, hourly or weekly because we all know the time it takes to create a quality production in comparison to what we the viewers see is two completely different things. I do also believe if a volunteer set out to go on capitalist wild goose chase that is also a personal decision based on their own personal desperation, goals and desires. But furthermore no one forced these people to put themselves there so any depravity, degradation, sufferings and traumas they may have experienced had completely manifested out of their own self doing. Like I said it is Squid Game the real show wasn't pleasant a reality show is almost exactly the same thing . For this, It's a must watch ..

They should watch the series and be notified that the series is related to the game then sign a waiver. Unfortunately, it is inhumane if you want to remain true to the game. You should not have joined. It's not a tour, it's a reality-based game of the harsh and tricky conditions. It's supposed to be difficult.

Dang I cancelled Netflix. Now I have to do a free trial to see this mess.

[@steveburke1519]

I don't think Netflix offers free trials anymore. But sign up for a month; it's worth to watch this.

[@tylerabernathy643]

imagine being cold for 5 minutes and crying about it

[@tylerabernathy643]

only because you lost and are upset that you were weak

[@Destinyirus278]

Omg these people are legit whining babies.. y’all signed up for this y’all knew it.. y’all didn’t watch the tv show? Ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jeremyespinosa2237]

They had a welfare team that regularly checked in with players during and after filming. One contestant who made it quite far said welfare checked in with him numerous times after filming for weeks after it was over.

[@AdamSheehan-pm8zq]

I hope they dont cancel the fictional show as it isnt the writers fault also isnt that the whole point of the show. Greed and corruption

[@vincedejesus]

When you enter a reality game show with a huge pot money to be won everyone is asked to sign a waiver/contract. I hope they read the contract thoroughly otherwise...

[@MurdoT860]

I also heard they weren’t provided 10 ply toilet paper,,,, how barbaric! 🤦‍♂️

[@cabalgandocontradicciones8303]

4.5 million dollars. I am sure that during the show they thought the conditions are not that extreme thinking that they can win the prize. Only once they lost.

[@H8ianBabaYaga]

It's $4.56 MILLION DOLLARS its not SUPPOSED to be comfortable!

[@RodgerE2472]

Why did you release this now??? Squid Game: The Challenge is set to be released on 22 November 2023.

[@Ynghomiezmokie]

Y u mad lol

[@BlackBloodBacon]

So? Don't wanna watch it, don't do it, stupid moron

[@KarmaIsARealThing]

None of this is dark and none of this compares to anything that they go through on Survivor. The only actual cruel thing about the show are the hundreds of people that got 0 airtime.

[@alkakindo]

It literally says THE CHALLENGE!! What did they expect?

[@susanaustgen6441]

Turning this into a game show was the stupidest idea they've ever had. Give us a season two they teased, not this bullshit we never wanted in the first place.

[@BlissBriii]

You’re still going to get the season 2. Y’all never do any research before commenting. The writer for the original squid games had NOTHING to do with the reality tv show being made.

[@susanaustgen6441]

@@BlissBriii I know there's a season two coming, I'm saying give us that instead of this. I never said the original creator was a part of this game show, I'm fully aware it's all Netflix.

[@brittanypierce8786]

@@susanaustgen6441are you actually slow? THE CHALLENGE is JUST a add on, the season 2 isn’t being pushed back or anything, It’s being released the same Time expected, there no worry for you to cry about them having this, if you don’t wanna see it then don’t watching it’s not affecting you
