She didn’t agree to the plan. That’s true. But she followed the plan when it benefited her.

[@jasonh908]

Yeah thats why the hate. She screwed someone over then wanted to get the benefit she wasnt willing to give to someone else.

[@webduelist]

@@jasonh908it was pretty clear she understood the plan as well. Like you can’t even fake that she just didn’t know cause it was obvious

[@user-zu4uo9ey2d]

perfect way to describe it

[@Messinasci94]

Perfect, man!!!

[@klarfaerie]

She didn’t agree but she still jumped. Trey made the choice to jump 3 times. Anyone else could’ve stepped up, but didn’t. Just because he did, doesn’t mean she has to jump 3 times as punishment for his choice. He’s a fan favorite, I get it. But I’m sure you get my point.

[@far22186]

Because shes a hypocrit. She didnt eant to go with the team plan only after she was the lead did she not want to have to jump and risk falling. And then got mad at mai for not wanting to he a team player on the dice

[@second-lyfe3774]

But who wouldn't be a hypocrite for 4 million dollars?!

[@melaninallure2005]

Yeah but don't be mad when someone calls you out

[@k3sh1a21]

Ashley decision didn’t make much sense to me. She had an early number so agreeing to the plan was in her favor. She wasn’t avoiding that jump. I think there was a big risk for everyone to turn against her. Cuz let me tell you there is no way I would’ve quietly watch her do that and jump in front for her. But it is what it is 🤷🏿‍♀️ ultimately it worked out

[@bobcatlewis8452]

remember they were being timed too so someone had to move

[@omegalaw8042]

@@bobcatlewis8452then she would stay there forever and don’t make a jump at all. Your logic?

[@randomfeller]

Ashley had a better chance of not falling if she’d just gone with the group’s plan, otherwise she’d have jumped till she failed or made it to the end, and seeing as how she was number 5, she’d have had a much higher chance of falling if they just stayed in order. She was being chickenshit, plain and simple, and I find it awesome that the only person to call her on being a coward ended up winning the entire contest…lol

[@KayLaFro]

The group plan probably was better since she was in the front, but I also think it was smart for her to let Trey sabotage himself bc he made it easier for everyone by clearing the board. Someone else could have easily passed Ashley and continued with the plan.. but no one stepped up 🤷‍♀️

[@randomfeller]

@@KayLaFro - Yeah...if she was further back in the line, I could see cause for pushing back against the "group 50/50" idea. She probably panicked and reactively dug her heels in. She's just lucky the rest of the folks in the group were very passive and just rolled over at a hint of adversity. Trey let himself get bullied into continuing. I'd have sat my butt down and said "Waiting on you or we all go down." I think if other contestants had to pass Ashley up, after she *didn't* jump, that would have likely quickened her exit from the show, as it would have looked much worse to risk everyone else, rather than how it went, and only affected Trey.

[@MsVovanez]

You are totally right and I am totally shocked every time I see someone who takes side of 278.

[@noahtaeyong]

Yep, if Ashley is no. 10-16 onwards, it is more reasonable for her to go against this idea, but she is no.4, this 50/50 is in her favor (unless she didn’t want to make any move at all lol), so it is just so bad for her to eliminate Trey like that

[@asm2960]

@@KayLaFro It is not about her not following the plan, it is about her attitude afterward, she was not just selfish but a hypocrite and tried to hate on Mai for calling her out, she was salty for the rest of the game for no reason. I get not stepping up and I don't blame her for that (if she had had a different attitude about it, I would be praising her), and the fact that others didn't hold her accountable for it, is not on her, that's on everyone else. But the Gaslighting, hating on people that call you out on your bullshit, the audacity and the lack of shame to so loudly go with the plan after she did what she did, and last but not least being so happy when Mai's best friend was eliminated even while she is actively crying. That's on her. One thing is human nature the other is being an asshole, and she for lack of a better word was an asshole.

[@juliandiaz6414]

I only had an issue when she made one jump and then immediately turned around and told someone to overpass her. But then again... its also on the group not to get walked on. I wish we could've gotten a live feed of this.

[@KayLaFro]

Yessss we needed the Feeds lol

[@beanbean3535]

I wish they were allowed to push her

[@fulkys]

I’m surprised you didn’t say it was bad social move for ashley cause easily she’s gonna be everyone’s target if everyone thinks like mai during the next game

[@KayLaFro]

I wouldn't have blamed people for targeting Ashley after this move at all! I thought more people would at first, but after awhile it was clear that most of the remaining cast had zero willingness to play dirty or fight for their spot... except for 2 people, ashley and mai. Instead, the others prioritized sacrificing themselves to be "nice" which is sweet and noble, but also boring and bad tv... ...which is why ashley and mai are 2 of my chaotic faves despite their questionable moves lol

[@fraydizs7302]

That's the thing that pissed me off. Everyone literally forgot about what she did except for Mai. So when Mai tried to get her out everyone was like "Wtf, Mai! What are you doing?" I was so confused about why they were surprised that Mai tried to get her out especially after she explained her reason.

[@stephaniefuentes7534]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!! Then when Mai and Ashely are talking Ashely is trying to gaslight her by saying “I took my jump” LIKE WTHHH . You didn’t agree with the whole team work plan on the bridge , 301 took 3 leaps and I understand that anyone could of jumped in and helped 301 but ASHELY WAS NEXT. And she was NOT going . Oh but of course after she made 1 jump all of a sudden she wants to play along like yeah who’s next up . LIKE WTFFF jumó again . I swear she pissed me off the most.

[@Archaic_Dawn]

I was livid that Ashley pretty much refused to do the overtake with Tray and sacrificed him. But after she made her risky jump she was all for doing the overtaking and I was SOOO pissed at the guy behind her who overtook her. I woulda made her ass keep jumping. Then I'd of respected the team strat. Anyhow I rooted for Mia cause she was the only I felt wasn't gas-lit by her. And I rejoiced when Ashley got eliminated.

[@KayLaFro]

In Trey's exit press, he said he volunteered to keep jumping bc he foolishly thought he would get every single one correct. He admitted that he ruined his own game. I get that yall hate ashley, but she did NOT sacrifice Trey.. he did that to himself and he even knows the edit did ashley dirty.

[@dreagonzalez1896]

He did do that to himself but what I didn’t like was that Ashley didn’t follow through until it benefited her. And while I know it’s a challenge and everyone is trying to win, when you’re up against the clock someone needs to do something. He made his choice but that doesn’t mean that Ashley wasn’t conniving. Some folks are cool with it, but I was rooting for her up until that point. With that said, I do with a black woman could have won and i’m glad Trey got out of the game. He annoyed me lol

[@klarfaerie]

@@dreagonzalez1896but she did follow through, she jumped and made a decision. Just because Trey made multiple jumps (by his choice) doesn’t mean she had to as well. The issue is that people liked Trey and it’s easier to have a villain than to admit he messed up.

[@dreagonzalez1896]

@@klarfaerie I see your point. I think we can all agree that Ashley knew how to play the game and she did what she had to do to get to where she finished. Props to her, I wish she would have made it to the final 3.

[@klarfaerie]

@@dreagonzalez1896 agreed. I wish the blame for peoples actions went all across the board. Singling Ashley out seems to be deeper than her just not going out of order. Just seems the majority just straight up didn’t like her. People love when others come from a rough past but when you see how people develop a shell because of it (which she was open about), they’re suddenly a bad person.

[@texasredfox7607]

Ashley = zero integrity. And the worst part is how spineless the rest of them were about her. Then they acted like Mai was backstabbing!? WTF do people just avoid confrontation with trash people in general, because it just makes them emboldened to keep doing their crap, then they get caught and start gaslighting people into submission. I was livid when they didn’t force her to keep jumping “We have a plan you decided not to follow, so carry on and keep jumping B!”

[@Hasblock]

The worst part is how high and mighty she was after the fact and to this day. It’s an individual game, fine, but don’t act all holy when you pretend you were with the plan the whole time and were full of integrity

[@beanbean3535]

Fr tho

[@kwokfelix4774]

Her choice didn't really make sense. If she tried to follow the plan, she just needed to jump once. She decided not to follow the plan, and if nobody helped her to jump after her attempt, then she needed to jump for multiple times, which was sure she would fail. But the fact that scared me was no teammates thought she had issue. For me, Mai chose to eliminate her had valid reason, but no people, even Mai's best friend, understand that

[@CSnail18]

Ashley stinks and trey only continued the glass bridge bc the time was running out and everyone was behind him complaining; after his second jump, I knew he deserved his spot twice as much than her; unfortunately her stubbornness led to Trey’s fall; so only when she was FORCED to, did she take the 50/50 chance and then acted like a hero for doing so, like that was the bare minimum she was supposed to do, so she did not deserve her spot and became the villain of the whole show

[@KayLaFro]

This isn't true at all. The edit made it look like the time was ticking down, but Trey confirmed that filming lasted HOURS and there was plenty of time on the clock. Trey also confirmed that he jumped voluntarily and that it was his fault he lost and not Ashley's... I get being biased based on the edit you saw, but the edit was very misleading but it did make for better TV!

[@webduelist]

@@KayLaFrothat’s because Trey is a nice guy, he is trying to divert hostility away from Ashley even after the game. Ashley on the other hand is still gaslighting in every interview she has been in since. Literally every media interview has been Trey : “it was my fault don’t blame Ashley” Ashley: “Ya so? it was my game and I didn’t Agee to the plan, I did Jump, I did what I did” Also you should listen to Mai, if anything she proved without a doubt she can read people, and she saw something.

[@klarfaerie]

@@webduelistshe can read people but talked badly about TJ until he went to bat for her and immediately changed her tune 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@juanprada4410]

@@webduelist you're right. But as far as I'm concerned, I give Mai points for acknowledging her poor judgment on camera. in comparison, Ashley, who literally gaslighted Mai when she tried to reason with her. I understand it's a competition, but if you act like this you shouldn't be surprised if someone has a problem with it.

[@Sarinleigh]

Trey didn't have to jump several times. Other people could of jumped in

[@juanprada4410]

I find it funny that many of the people who support Ashley seem to forget that she didn't agree with the decision, until it was her turn; There she was encouraged to work as a team. No one criticized her for not agreen to the plan in the first place; They criticize her for her hypocrisy. From a personal perspective, Ashley was a great player, but her actions are perfectly reprehensible.

[@KayLaFro]

I think everybody sees the hypocrisy, but some people don't have a problem with it while playing a game. I would 1000% be a hypocrite for a day for 4 million dollars lol Plus everybody let ashley get away with it easy (except mai) so I can't hate ashley if they just let her do it

[@juanprada4410]

@@KayLaFro I think I would do it too; But the fact that you were a hypocrite for just 1 day still implies that you were a hypocrite, regardless of whether you had a good justification or not. Ashely herself acknowledges this in interviews; that she "assumed" the role of the "villain." Maybe most competitors didn't give it any importance, but it's normal for the public to find it reprehensible and wird (In fact, Ashley antagonized herself by opposing a plan that objectively benefited her.)

[@saranunes4151]

Ashley should have continued jumping once it was her turn. Since she didn't believe in the team strategy. But she didn't did she.

Everyone was too nice about losing 4mil to me

[@WhatAlex]

I may have misheard, but I think Tim’s issue was that he thought Jackie was “playing the sympathy card” by mentioning her deafness when he is also partially hearing impaired, but yeah I could be wrong about what he said/thought. Also- was not a fan of Ashley. At all. Found her hypocritical.

[@terraguttierez2996]

Exactly. Shes claiming shes repping the deaf community. Ok. So how is it ms representative that one of your fellow people in the deaf community has never heard of you? I think she didnt really have anything to play in terms of a heartfelt story so she came up with that

[@JediDanD]

“Mai steps further into her villain bag, when she chooses to save a man” That’s not a villain bag, that’s a hero bag. If anyone is the villain, it’s that Amanda for resorting to sexism. Mai did the right thing choosing friendship over gender. Amanda’s whole view is “All that matters is they’re a woman, never mind who they are at heart.” Which if the roles were reverse and it was a man saying “Save all the men”, anyone would see just as clearly how wrong that would be.

[@Phoenix-mu2bt]

im just glad she got out. And Mai is the goat for not liking her

[@yanissiah3693]

it was wrong in all the way, coz she change the plan when it bennefit her, and smiling when someone is crying is just heartbroken to watch...

[@Humon66]

The group allowed her to walk all over them.

[@okayray7091]

Im all for selfish moves if it’s in the person’s best interest. The thing is that it was a BAD move for ashley. It made no sense

[@tacoswelding8411]

She might be a little slow tbh

[@Clyde_E]

Ashley said " i didnt agree to no plan?" but she didnt say anything when tj was saying the plan (Karma 1) Ashley made Trey jump 3 times and made him get eliminated because of her selfishness (Karma 2) when Mia Voted Ashley and Ashley Didnt Get Out Ashley said "your saying im not a team player when your not aswell" when Ashley didnt follow the team plan, selfishly didnt jump until trey got eliminated, jumped once when she clearly said "i didnt agree to no plan 🙄💅" but then said "ok i did my jump now you guys go 🤭💅" and mia nominated her for absolutely justifiable reasons (karma 3), said "karmas a female dog mia, thats why chad got eliminated 😂💅" but she didnt know she was building up karma and she also didnt know she wouldnt get backlash from every single human being with sympathy and not just "guyz itz a 4.56 millin dolar prise zo thatz wy aslhey idnt fwllw ta paln🤠" well yea to be fair its allot of money but is money really worth public reputation? for me no (sorry for the ocd people since this isn't ordered correctly)

[@thisaintphilosophy7161]

I think you’re too naïve to see the fact that she didn’t want to go with a plan when it didn’t benefit her. She was saying how she didn’t agree with the plan when some people were in front of her and she wanted them to take the shots, 100% in favor of group strategy work together when it was her turn to be put on the line. You can cry all you want about it strategy for her not to go and not agree with this. But she benefited from letting everyone else go ahead of her when she didn’t want to do that herself. I don’t think you understand why because you actually liked her and the audience didn’t. She ended up target Mai when she had legit reason to actually have a target on her. it also doesn’t help that the entire cast was enabling her to engage in this behavior.

[@leenam8281]

Ashley then gaslighted Mai to feel like that's not what happened. Btw ironic because you forgot that she does jump cuz she have to after trey falls. Then she turns around and goes people go ahead of me we need to work together. Suddenly acting as if she was agreeing with their plan. The truth is that was the best plan! Everyone has one chance to jump. It leads to the most people getting through. Which is why Ashley realized that and played dumb knowing she fucked up

[@ghnbtrcv8672]

Ashley didn't agree to the plan because she has peanut brain. as number 5 without this plan its auto loss

[@PooleFamily-ot9bv]

It was because she was a hypocrite not because she didn't jump, why is that so hard to understand. If she didn't agree with the plan that's fine but then don't try to change your mind when you realize now you actually have to go all the way.

[@theheidis]

Ashley refused to step up and take her turn per the plan, but after she had to make her jump, she turned around expecting the person behind her to go in front of her. So she expected of someone else the same thing that was expected of her (that she did not do). That is where I see her being a jerk/not a team player. So per HER RULES she should have had to just keep jumping forward until she “fell” or made it to the other side. Nobody should have stepped in front of her since she didn’t give the person in front of her the same courtesy. After she fell, they could have resumed the team plan. Also, do you think that any of those tiles could open and the producers could just decide who they wanted to “fall”? Now that you said a stunt person fell, they must have jumped, and then waited to find out if they were “safe” or if it was “time to move so the stunt person to move into the spot and fall” making this game completely fake and unreliable to trust that it was done fairly.

[@joynd]

I 100% agree!

[@Clyde_E]

I made a comment somewhat exactly like yours since I didn't scroll until now so sorry 😅

[@user-nm3hl4jw8i]

sure she didn't agree to it but after her turn she followed the plan when it benefited her....

[@tacoswelding8411]

True But certain people can’t see that 😂

[@bdavid19922]

I'd respect her if she took more than one jump.

[@KayLaFro]

Nooo then she'd sabotage herself like trey did lol... very noble but bad strategy

[@bdavid19922]

The only way I'd respect her game is if she took all her jumps because she 'didn't agree to it' or just didn't jump at all like the big guy from the real Squid Game show and just own the villian role.

[@spalunky6234]

The reason i dislikes ashley is not what she did to trey but that after she made it out as if mai was the villain the snake, saying everybody was being a team player and somehow got away with getting trey eliminated and still took the 50/50 while also expecting people to follow the plan she snaked out of

[@terraguttierez2996]

What are you on about. Jakie claims to stan and represent deaf people. She KNOWS Tem is deaf. Why wouldnt you sign with him? If she truly is trying to make everyone aware of deafness, why is it that the OTHER DEAF PERSON doesnt know she signs?!? How can you claim you want to spread awareness for deaf people when the only other deaf person doesnt know youre deaf?

[@CSnail18]

Exactly!! I personally would’ve loved to see a full signing conversations ie deaf representation, I feel robbed of that

[@TayyJayy]

I can read people well and from the start when she said she doesn't believe in God you alr know she has no soul to be nice

[@leearie6474]

I want to start by saying it's not a team game. No one expected any teams. The problem, however, she wasn't planning on following their strategy at first until it suited her needs. I think that's what I'm most upset about. You and many others agree with her, but if what you're saying is true, and they are responsible for themselves, why didn't she continue to stick to her own plan? She only followed their plan when it benefited her. That's the part that many people do not understand.

[@jilliebean2709]

I agree with all of your commentary and good interpretations with the exception of Ashley. She may not have agreed to one jump per, but she sure agreed to let someone else take the risk and jump in front of her. When you pick for yourself (after a majority has picked team play), and you then get labeled as selfish... it's the right label IMO, and you get all of the negative connotations that go along with that. IF she had loudly stated during the discussion that she would not be agreeing in the "team strategy" that would've been acceptable- but she didn't as far as we can tell by editing.

[@KayLaFro]

I wish MORE players would have played selfishly like Ashley lol. Being selfish is not a bad thing in an individual game, plus it makes for better TV for us the viewers! Also Ashley never even agreed with the Team Strat in the first place

[@lalymanceaux2154]

i thought she was going to refuse to Jump even once when she refused to get over Trey. I didn’t understand her plan when she finally Jumped.. why not doing it sooner and not becoming the vilain? That’s stupid. Did she really thought Trey would be able to finish the game safe 🤪 And why every body stick to the plan with her if she refused the stratedy! She should have keep going and they should have started again after her elimination 🙃

[@4bidden1]

Short answer is: everybody but Mia and Lorenzo and Bee is an idiot

[@mindyann8903]

She played the game. I found it interesting no one except the one woman was mad about this … it makes me wonder if we missed out on something or if the guy just jumped on the bridge on his own will ect .. just seems like some context is missing but ppl saying how wrong she is !? This is millions of dollars on the line and being toward the end with very few left too - heck I may have sit down and done the same exact thing lol but at the same time I couldn’t get mad if that put a target on my back. 🤷‍♀️

Should have had the plan stay the same but anyone who decided not to would have to go non stop once the number of people that have been eliminated is 1 before them. If 5 decided not to go with team plan then once 4 people are out, 5 should have to go till end or elimination.

[@chargestone96]

It was bad strategy but the level of hatred ive seen is wild Its not like peoples favourite mai didnt constantly flipflop to whatever benefitted her to

[@mrs.conscious]

It’s purely and I mean purely racial motivated and nothing else you’d think she killed someone

[@RP.123]

I liked her. She kept it real. Also two players who were on the bridge both said it was highly edited and that no one was upset with Ashley but Mai because the guy Trey actually went rogue and just started jumping out of nowhere. Mai didn’t see it because she was the luckiest player who went last therefore was all the way in the back

[@charlesnorm4883]

10:23 actually it is. If Ashley was smarter she would’ve realised that this strategy increased her chances of getting through by 10 fold. Instead of having to make 8-10 jumps correctly she just has to make one. Instead she did the most selfish thing she could do in that situation by letting Tyler go first multiple times, only using the 1 step rule when it suited her. But I guess she’s black so you’ve got to back her no matter what.

[@Suzux3-yw2kd]

Pero que poco neutral, que no veas que Ashley es mala persona me da miedo

[@lolsaXx]

She had to make a Jump anyway so it was a silly move, choosing not to take her turn.

[@Max-Rtpmp]

Choosing to make everyone have a turn doesn't throw the social strategy aspect of the game imo It is the social strategy of the game Putting the fact that everyone has to jump as a ground rule should in theory prevent people from doing what Ashley did, which is not jumping If one decides to not jump it could put the game in a stalemate situation And for the game of marbles yes splitting up give the possibility of a greater reward(both passing) but also a greater risk( none passing) Making sure that at least one of you pass is anything but a bad plan imo Instead of taking chances, you make sure you have a somewhat good outcome

[@mrs.conscious]

The way the laser focus on Ashley is pure racism no one can tell me any differently. I’m too smart to not see it. We talking about 4 million dollars are u f in kidding me

Why was Ashley talking so Rachet?

[@harderdaddyowo2153]

You're definitely not smart. The plan MADE Ashley pass the bridge round. She was too stupid to see that it was helping her.

Squid Game isn’t a team game. You are entitled to do what you can for self preservation.

Yeah it isnt so Ashley should have kept jumping when she was first in line right?

[@mrs.conscious]

Thank you someone with sense

[@zoeevans3649]

I can see this video is blindly taking Ashley’s side and actively replying to comments and not acknowledging the actual points being made. Sit back and actually comprehend what people are saying. Stop hiding behind Trey as a way to excuse Ashley’s toxic and hypocritical behavior.

[@Suzux3-yw2kd]

Será porque es su familiar, lo más seguro

[@ebonigttty5148]

I didn’t like the fact that Mai tried to call Ashley out for not agreeing with the group’s plan when she did the SAME THING when the girls came together to agree to only choose each other and Mai being the first woman in the line up during the picking didn’t chose another woman bc she felt that wasn’t good for her game. How she moved against Ashley was like a total hypocrite!

[@juanprada4410]

You have a good point, but it's not the same. Mai could choose between supporting players with whom she had already established trust or supporting a group of players with whom she shared chromosomes. Ashley literally ran against the strategy that put several of the others and herself at less risk.

[@4bidden1]

Ashley and Mai are both hypocrites

[@lazarusmetcalfe2423]

Lots of people responded negatively to the show as if it’s the worst thing ever . . . when in reality they are clueless about reality TV. The edit definitely had me rooting against Ashley, but I believe Trey even admitted he could have pushed more and it’s his fault. The edit was amazing on the show but they did Ashley a disservice, I think it’s mainly due to how they showed it. I’d say more but I don’t want to spoil anyone on anything.

[@KayLaFro]

right?! I was confused about all the backlash like.. they wouldn't be able to handle reality tv from the 2000s 😳

[@4bidden1]

I think it’s bc of the ghetto way of her to go about it.

I def feel like some of the backlash is racially motivated because when other people were shady, it’s glossed over, but she’s getting hate despite still having jumped, just out of order. Mai getting mad and telling everyone Ashley didn’t jump at all when Mai never had to is wild and I get why Ashley was pissed. At the end of the day, her choice helped the whole team, and even if she didn’t agree to the order, she technically DID follow the plan. Trey made his choice and idk why people are saying she had to make multiple jumps just bc they lost a fan favorite. Truly wild.

I think it was the fact that everyone else agreed to take one jump, except her but then she expected everyone else behind her to do what she refused to do herself. She also talked trash about other people and was rude to people. There were other people who behaved the same way and no one liked those people either.

@@joynd Mai talked badly about TJ until it benefited her and nobody really brings it up. And even if she didn’t agree to the plan, she DID take her 50/50 jump while people like Mai and Bee never had to because they were at the end.

[@mrs.conscious]

It’s purely racial discrimination. Mai was fake af talking about tj like a dog behind his back but that’s never brought up and let’s not forget the aggressive y boy that basically screwed the blk girl during marbles

@@klarfaeriemai and Ashley are both hypocritical trash 🗑️

[@Max-Rtpmp]

​​​​@@klarfaeriethere is a difference between talking badly then backtracking and having another player sabotage himself then trying to act righteous Yes she did follow the plan but only when it benefited her, it is not a good look nor it is an argument in her favor People wanted to make multiple jumps because she didn't agree to the plan, thus being next in line she should've kept jumping, like she made Trey do Yes, she did make Trey jump, because by not taking her turn, him being the one in front, it pressured him to keep jumping to not put the game in a stalemate situation and make everyone else lose And please for the love of god stop trying to use the race card every time a black person receives backlash (even more when it is 100% understandable like here) It makes us look goofy as h

[@ryanwolfram2578]

was ashley selfish in that moment? yes. but only one person can win the money and trey was a big threat to win. that being said, it was stupid to risk the group betraying her.

[@Insulindependantfati]

Too many people who don’t watch competition reality shows and frankly I think there are a lot of racists out there also cause the hate she’s been getting has been crazy.

[@KayLaFro]

Right?! cause some of it's going beyond the gameplay. .

[@far22186]

She's the only racist here. Refused to be a team player when it was the white guy in front of her. You know she would've thrown a fit if it had been a white person doing that. Also she was the one hanging out with the black woman complaining how dare all the white people hang out together when the only person she would hang it was the black lesbian. I just hate hypocrits.

[@drilltime1237]

BRAINDEAD; she refused to play the groups game. REFUSED to even speak when 301 was waiting for her, then waited for people to pass her; HYP0CRIT, she then lies to 278 saying she did jump which isnt true at all, she jumped after 301 had jumped THREE TIMES, no one is racist, you all need to get checked for tumors

[@terraguttierez2996]

The fact that you think its racism.... you are so delulu

[@mrs.conscious]

It’s purely racial nothing else
