[@enoch7564]

Yeah the issue with that particular redlight green light challenge was that they would have to freeze for much longer periods of time than what was shown in the final cut. Meaning they would have to freeze for up to half an hour at a time. Thats why so many people dove to the ground. Thats also why the girl gave up after squatting, it was for much longer than a couple seconds. They would also add time back on the clock so main characters could make it. In other words, they already had a good idea of which contestants they wanted to proceed to further rounds. Everyone else were just extras

I just pushed myself through all 5 episodes, it was difficult but now it's proven that it can be done. The worst part of the whole show was when some lady was acting like a saint, like she was the savior for the whole group because she chose to vote out a doctor/surgeon or something that did absolutely nothing wrong. If anything he was trying to help the group and had good intentions. She was so proud of herself for that. This was in episode 4

[@shellynick763]

What do you mean savior? She was just watching out for her team and eliminating threats. The doctor(330) was a leader and eliminating him was a good move

[@jaguwa4816]

@@shellynick763 He wasn't a leader of any group or team and was certainly not one of the biggest threats to her or her group. She saw that somebody disagreed with her on something and chose him because of that, which in my opinion is immaturity. He had good intentions and if anything was making sure there were NO targets on anybody including their group by making the eliminations random. If I was one of the remaining players, I would have also disagreed with him, but I also realise that his intentions were good and that he would have been no threat to me. It was not a smart choice at all. Edit: I don't mean to offend any specific people, but from what I've seen online it's very common for Americans to associate "disagreement" with "against". I think it's a very immature way of thinking.

As someone who was actually there as a contestant for 9 days, I can say nothing was scripted or trumped up. Bryton (432) was genuinely that way, the whole way through. The MIVs (interviews) were definitely baited or targeted questions but there was honestly NOTHING that was pre-planned or staged. I WILL say the final cut really edited out a LOT of context. I've been filling in gaps for people all week. The production were just extremely opportunistic at framing things well. For example, Dani and Kyle (the people who eliminated 200) were pulled out randomly to do chores, we had NO clue they were the ones selected to take that test. The next day is when they revealed the elimination, so it genuinely caught us off guard.

I don't think it's fake I just think Netflix has purposefully hand picked each and everyone as mentally ill misfits from each other to create as much drama as possible. Ego is a big thing as well trust me people can act and say really dumb things if they think they're better than everyone else, it's ironic because anyone playing for the money isn't going to win the money. They need a different mindset to win. My money is on 18 (quiet, reserved, smart and watching in the background) The casting isn't fake but the selection process certainly wasn’t random at all. To add onto this they purposefully created challenges to further stir the drama by eliminating alliance members to create more drama. ​I think it's in the terms to go out quietly if eliminated as you can see people quietly balling their eyes out hunched over. So there was real stakes and loss on the line for certain. It's not Squid game it's a psychological mind fxck.

The robot would sing for 5 secs and the timer would only countdown during the singing part. When the robot was not singing, the timer would pause and they had to hold their position for 20 mins. They would review the footage to see if anyone moved during the game and they couldn't move while they reviewed the footage. Thats why people would dive, so they would be laying down instead of standing for 20 mins and thats why the girl who squatted got out, cuz she had to hold the squat for 20 mins.

The really stupid part was that ever so often crew members would go by as just “survivors” and either trade with them or try to invade the shelter. The show was beyond stupid because they even had to act as if a real apocalypse had happened and they where among the last humans remaining.

Netflix has been on a downhill slope for a long time now, and this is the result of that

[@lumsfer7929]

Have you even seen the show?

[@Madman3721]

My favorite moment in this show had to be the guy trying his best not to vomit, for like 8 minutes during a competition. It perfectly sums up this entire show.

[@Kai452007]

My toxic trait: the more he talks about it, the more I want to see it hahahaha

[@irejog]

I hate to admit it, but I loved it. It's clearly fake, massively over produced, unrealistically dramatic, but for some reason I can't switch it off and am actively looking forward to the next episode. I guess I just find it funny, the strange interactions between the players, the odd characters they chose to develop throughout the show, how everyone seems to be an ego-maniac, toxically competitive athlete, bible thumper, paranoid month breather, "a good guy/gal", or some mix in-between. And how the focus characters shift wildly has people get eliminated. It's like a guilty pleasure, a bad reality tv show you wouldn't tell your friends you watched unless you knew they were fans too.

[@MoniSolli_]

No bc SAME 💀😭 it’s so bad that it’s hilarious, everyone is so dramatic that it makes me eager to watch the rest

[@GoodMorning.]

So glad it’s just not me lmaoo

[@Tideman11]

Same! I find the show intriguing myself for those reasons. The hate is undeserved if you ask me.

[@MENACE-km6bd]

​@@Tideman11Right!! It's sad they were treated badly behind the scenes. But it was nice watching real people act like real people. You fall in love with nearly everyone and you can't eve root for one team or person. I liked the people tbh. That's what's made the show for me.

[@shellynick763]

People just hate anything Netflix puts out without watching it. This show is absolutely amazing

[@spoongodess]

my uncle was on the show, and he stood in the cold for HOURS before being eliminated. I have no idea why netflix made it seem so short, the timer was NOT 5 minutes, but rather 5 hours.

[@RedLemonCola]

What was his name?

[@spoongodess]

@@RedLemonCola his number was 372

[@AstralXeditz]

​@@spoongodessMy cousin was on the show and killed like 3 people

[@joshuasinferno9443]

​@@AstralXeditzJesus, for real?

[@spoongodess]

@@AstralXeditz I hope you don't mean that literally :)

[@Escian_]

i felt the like the reactions were actually genuine when you take into account that these guys are fighting for 4.5 million dollars lol i’d be in a way heightened state of mind trying to get this type of money too

[@NoHoesRue]

exactly, this was my thought. & I actually enjoyed the show idk why it’s getting so much hate

[@shellynick763]

​​​@@NoHoesRueI like this show too. It's cheesy on some parts but this was incredibly entertaining. Some people just hate Netflix for the crap shows they make sometimes but this show is a diamond

[@NoHoesRue]

@@shellynick763 I’m waiting on Wednesday I believe that’s when the second half releases

[@LuluTheCorgi]

Why did the contestants return tickets for their flights have different dates and times then? They got the return tickets before even starting to film

[@Escian_]

@@LuluTheCorgi source? i tried looking this up and found nothing.

[@moneygrabber6720]

Netflix wasted money on yet another failed project? What a shocker

[@brandonp6419]

Player 107 uploaded a video on his experience a day ago. In the red light, green light game, the contestants had to stand in their position for 20-30 minutes during the red light. It was edited to look like a few seconds. That is why that girl that was squatting gave up.

[@Deathscythe91]

funny how a youtuber made a better squid game show then a giant company

Mr Beast

[@Krranski]

IDK, when someone has a net worth of probably over $1B, I am not sure they are simply a KZbinr anymore; they can afford a budget on almost any practical scale. But I get ya; the fact that MrBeast made something presumably better (I haven't watched it) says a lot about Netflix.

[@JackingBastos]

bro wdym Mrbeast did better this is just being bias and being fanboy of mrbeast. Objectively, netflix did better and they also involved the director of squid game on this. IDK what's your mind but most of you that when someone knows the game, you say scripted. But when someone acting bad, you say worse. WTF it contradicts. You're just hating netflix because of their past issues.
