SQUID GAME Mai

Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge - a compilation edit of Mai Whelan's (player #287 ) and her journey of survival to beat out 455 other players in the shark tank.
"Who won Squid Game The Challenge?" "Who was the winner of Squid Game The Challenge, season one?" ... these are questions many are asking (who I assume either don't have Netflix or aren't interested enough to watch).
Sorry if this is a spoiler for you.... but this video walks you through the highlights of player #287 throughout the 10 episodes -- including her key interactions with other players and how she played the various games and challenges to stay alive and make it to the final round to face Phill (player #451) and Sam (#016).
I've also included key clips from Mai's interviews where she talks about her background coming to the USA as a refugee at the age of eight, her struggles and challenges after joining the U.S. Navy and becoming a single parent when she was 19 as well as how her job as an Immigration Adjudicator for the Department of Homeland Security helped her during Squid Games.

What do you all think of Mai and her abilities as a player? What about her “beef” with Ashley #278? (I know she has some defenders out there). Did anyone else think it was weird that none of the other players had Mai’s back when she criticized Ashley’s behavior during the Glass Bridge? (seemed like some serious gaslighting to me). Is Mai a deserving winner? Who were you rooting for to win it all?

[@vjones4769]

I don’t think it was gaslighting. Everyone was just trying to keep their head down so that their name wouldn’t come up if call out eliminations happened.

[@francescalittle]

I don't think she deserved it any more or any less than anyone else. She won, so the producers gave her the best edit and tried to make it seem like she had some amazing strategy.

[@leonreese4119]

Mai is my girl and she deserved it. Everyone was trying to play nice when there were only a few people left. #278 went against the whole "team" and then claimed they were part of the team the next game...With the dice game, she did her thing...#286 was my second favorite after Mai. He was against everyone until he got chosen... They all started to become friendly, and that took out a lot of players. The present game only had winners when the person chosen, chose their best friend...It's brutal, but only one would win.

[@serene0210]

she deserves to win. she has all the qualities of a real human that we all can relate. she's just herself, she makes mistakes(abt TJ) but own it and redeemed herself, she makes hard decisions (she has the biggest balls among the contestants😆 calling out ashley to bring justice to trey). she's super smart and strategize. her experiences and training in her jobs (as adjudicator and a navy) became an advantage to her. she's been through a lot in her life, so she had good fate on her side as well.

Ashley eliminated by pressuring then reaped the rewards of team play after she was safe.

Mai really made the show for me during the second half. Some made it to the end through luck or without having to stain their image, but not her. She played the game in all it's layers, had to make choices that made her look bad in front of others, and had to betray her friends when the games became free-for-all.

It's not a popular opinion but 278 never agreed to their plan. So she wasn't wrong there. Shouldn't be forced to do something. Mai did the same exact thing in the very next game, so it seems hypocritical. I do think 278 should have kept going when it was her turn and stuck with her plan of not participating in the group's decision.

[@bell5662]

​@@ladadee4175I agree. She should have kept going herself. If she had done that, she would not be so disliked because she stuck to her word of not agreeing with the plan. However, it's because she didn't do that and was quick to agree to the plan when it benefitted her that she got so much backlash. Plus she called another player stupid in the confessionals for going along with the plan prior to agreeing to do it herself. I also agree that it's a little hypocritical of Mai to try and eliminate Ashley when they all agreed to roll for themselves. However, I believe she only did that because she knew everyone supported Ashley and if she told anyone about her plan they would likely all agree to attempt to eliminate her. My main gripe is with all of the players acting like what Mai did is any worse than what Ashley did. No one would acknowledge Ashley's actions at all and acted like Mai's decision came out of nowhere, and even Ashley herself played innocent. The gaslighting was so surreal to see.

@@ladadee4175 "It's not a popular opinion but 278 never agreed to their plan. So she wasn't wrong there." What made her wrong is expecting others to jump after she made the right jump.

Each player has a 1/6 chance to vote someone or themselves out unlike the tile game where each player only has 50-50 chance to survive. Plus her reason for doing it made it was 100% valid. If Ashley didn't want to play by the group's decision, then their plan shouldn't include her.

[@JetixML]

A lot of people criticise her for not trusting TJ until it suited her and not trusting anyone when it suited her but unlike Ashley I think she was truly justified. The English girl had a really good plan to get herself through by forcing a girls alliance during the late-game but she didn’t account for some of the girls having guy friends they prioritise (e.g Mai with Chad). When TJ chose Mai to stay, Mai had to prioritise her friend over a shaky alliance which the girls felt like she was throwing the alliance under the bus. Furthermore, she did say she didn’t trust TJ but TJ trusted her a lot and when she saw that she was happy to trust him back. TJ, Mai and Chad would easily be the strongest team at the end if TJ survived the glass bridge even if most of the girls alliance survived. Mai played her alliances really well but was too friendly with all the sides that wanted her which forced her to choose so of course people are gonna question who she stands with. It’s not like Ashley who suddenly wants to be everyone’s friend and a team player as soon as she’s on the chopping block which is ultimately a dick move.

[@vitaluka]

I was rooting for Mai especially after Leann and Trey got out. She became my favourite especially since SHE PLAYED THE GAME! There was strategy there! So many players were just coasting through with their alliance and yeah that’s a strategy but hers was better and she’d cut a throat if needed.

[@lightsaver7785]

Ashley seems like a really cool person in "real life". She even said in an interview that she couldn't believe the things she said on camera. However, my problem with Ashley is that she was not a team player, nor a strong character, nor a particularly interesting character. At one point I found myself rooting for her wife (when she was still in the game), although after what happened on the tile bridge, I don't understand what she was trying to accomplish? Crying, being a victim, putting herself under so much stress only to clearly show her true colors in the end? Every single player has paid for their betrayal in this game, but Ashley's betrayal had gone unnoticed. Also, Ashley got revenge on Mai for nominating her for elimination and still tried to convince Mai that she was in the right and that she was "crying out for teamwork". I don't get it. Even after the match was over, Ashely still thought she played fair and square? Girl, not sure if it was the water, the food or the plain air, but the delulu in that person was unbearable to watch...

She got so corrupted, maybe she didn't ever learn in school how to think for herself.

I can Safetly say the right person won. Mai is a fucking baller!

[@tucktheanimator8699]

was rooting for 016 to win totally not because he is a artist but i think Mai deserved to win

[@Nellia.20x]

I ♥️ Mai

[@karenalvarez7545]

I hope she gives 182 a nice vacation or something lol

[@wittlemix]

The one i was truly rooted for was, bee she matches with my personality soooo well and i liked that (even the rolling sixes part)

[@jboww2121]

I thought some european dude after kicking a soccer goal? What is this? I don’t remember seeing her. But I love her. A Mai vs Ashley finale showdown would’ve been so iconic. The way Mai said somewhat threateningly that she can see through people and can sense their guilt 😂

[@jacobsalas4379]

Damn you Chad lol😂 the most dramatic scene, give her an Oscar

[@slimbu9448]

Mai well deserved winner. Extremely strong headed and very smart.

[@UnlimitedGrapes]

yeahhhhh~ I loved her in the Circle of Trust that is some crazy Psychology there you can't fake it (like what Ashley did)

[@jaquigeee]

I am amazed by her wit 👏

[@tarantuIas]

So glad she won

[@victoriagolston7514]

She is so tough

[@nataliekikukama6020]

This was so emotional 😉😊😇😔😭

[@Killuminati168]

I knew mai was going to win she played it smart

[@biyaherangtuesday2599]

Ashley is the most selfish player of this edition. She is also the DENIAL QUEEN. She felt she’s gonna make it till the end, but thankfully, she got eliminated. But I also didn’t like Mai’s way of sacrificing Roland in the Circle of Trust. 😢 She’s just a strategic player and in the end, that’s how she won.

[@Icy_Luvvie]

Wow Mai is smartt!

[@jawhoney]

I love that she says let the best man win she a og fr she a btch to go against but a whole ass gangster woman or man

[@TheUsmarine101]

Only thing I didn’t like about Mai was her doing TJ dirty.

[@Royyaaaal]

Mai wasn’t innocent either she played dirty, but they definitely should have backed her up on getting Ashley out she even admitted she could no longer hide.. they should have kept making her jump

[@Dee.diaries]

I was rooting for her cuz I thought she was Filipino but turns out she wasn’t lol but either way I was so glad she won i literally cried

[@BuntonNextTopModel]

Sorry bae She's Vietnamese

[@briezzy365]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@FunnyBunnyASMR]

can you do clips of player 243 and 232 together?

[@RDCFemmes]

There can only be one winner so every man is for themselves.

[@user-fy7cv8rc6m]

TJ and Mai were so wholesome

[@atomic_poppy]

She’s suing them because she hasn’t been paid her prize.

[@dr.danchallice3888]

Karma is a bitch! Everyone that sided with Ashley and not Mai got what they deserved. Mai played the game without talking trash or using any foul language and not being disrespectful to anyone. She played the game well right to the end.

[@makicoy2849]

she dont know what Mai is saying now you can cut through people memory? 😅😅

[@thesaltycobra]

Yeah 😂 I think Ashley smuggled in one of those Men In Black memory-erasing pens inside (the same way the irritating woman in the show smuggled in some cigarettes!). It’s the only thing that makes any sense to me…

[@joshgreenbrg3437]

when next video? here is the list: 1 mother, son 2 guy who came second 3 deaf girl thank you forgot about capitan

[@stormwing9996]

where is bryton? hes my favourite hes real and doesnt hide his personality

[@jujushook5487]

Bee

[@victoriagolston7514]

She is amazing. I want tobe her

[@sunflowersandsand]

I didnt like how she did TJ and how he went to bat for her at every opportunity. I would love to know what he thinks after watching this show back.

[@Bronxsahh]

Darling ,its a solo game with cashprize at the end. If you wanna make friends ,theres everyday in lifetime to make it .... They started to act and put rules about friendship then watch MAiï like wtf 😂😂. Its not a friendship camp . They eliminated others earlier by being in final and noone of them said ..fuck im so guilty , let me switch with my body wich got eliminated earlier cause he ddidnt deserved it anf i loved him . I could have jumped before him but nah i left him . 😂😂 But now they like , lets hug and be friends 😂. Even if MAï didnt win , noone of them would give his money for friends they made in this game . Hypocrites . Same about society , all about hypocrites😂😂😂. GG MAï

[@frajoladellagato]

Shows like this are better because of villains like Ashley. Anyone trying to say she’s a horrible person just because of the way she played Squid Game needs to get a grip.

[@DisneyDudeCardGuy]

Called her as the winner episode 1….if you watch survivor you know about the Kelly edit …very similar method used by production to hide her yet show us who she was early

[@elinamauno8833]

I just hope that Mai will finally get her money now that she made it well known Netflix hasn’t paid her yet…

[@its_eli]

People were trying so hard to look woke on camera, that they provided Mai the perfect spotlight to show her authenticity and well-deserved win. 😂

[@snowysnowwish]

i find her so fucking cool like holy shit what massive respect do i have.

[@JayF2910]

Nah i didn’t see her until the orange juice

[@titi006]

Mai winner 👑👑🤑Mommy😎😎

[@Justcatc]

(After Trey and TJ left)😭Her win was too obvious. Besides Bee the only other person who got attention was Ashley😭

[@alhoalan]

deserved

[@Commonsenseisntcommon666]

The ultimate BO$$

[@OmarMata-vs1tc]

Tbh I would do to 278 is when see would say when she ain’t going down this bridge I would say take your time

[@WickedXombieDigiKing]

Okay idk what happened then i went based on what chad said in interview nd chad was mais no 2😂 either way i was team mia

[@ThatFloridaEditor]

I wanted Trey to win for his mom 😢
