Fun fact: Red light green light went on for multiple hours in real life. They had to wait 30-45mins between green lights. That’s because the camera crew had to film some shots. Also all the participants really slept in the bunkbeds and everyone had only one tracksuit for the entire duration of the show being filmed. They couldnt leave the building for entertainment or fresh air. They had to entertain themselves for hours and hours while no game was played.

The red light green light shoot actually took like 11 hours, people said online that it was green for like 10 seconds then was red for about 45 minutes, so she was popping a squat for like half hour, and that's why people were diving on the floor because it's easier to lay down for 45 minutes rather than stop on the spot

My heart broke when Spencer (299) got physically ill from the anxiety of choosing the umbrella door.

I watched the whole show and I believe in episode 4, the guy who went “sympathy is a weakness, god made me this way” got involved in a verbal fight with some guy during team picking for the third game. Some weirdo was trying to shove himself into a full line and everyone was yelling. A girl at the front of the line began to break down because for how loud and aggressive they were being for no reason and 432 (god man) was just like “what is you crying for stfu!” Actually so insensitive.

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

[@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.

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.

[@unfiltered8407]

Personally, I believe you. One of my friends auditioned to be on the show and got accepted to be a participant. But she turned down the opportunity after finding out what the living conditions would be like during her final interview with one of the shows producers. She was smart enough to ask about living environment and accommodation during her virtual interview. She told me they told her that they have to stay in the building during the entirety of the shoot, that they couldn’t leave even during NON-filming hours, that the showers were co-ed & communal (but had individual stalls-at the very least), that they’d only be wearing the track suits and no other change of clothing even on NON-filming days, that their belongings would be confiscated (no phones, no books, no music, etc), and that they couldn’t order food from outside and they were to eat only what the show provided them witb to make the experience feel more “real” and “immersive”. She said when she heard all that she was like hell no and respectfully bowed out, lol. Good luck to the 1 person who ends up being the sole victor though.

[@imightbebiased9311]

Hate to break it to you, the stuff with the kid and his mom was super scripted. "Another says she was eliminated when there were five seconds remaining on the clock at the end of the grueling nine hours. But as she waited to be escorted off the set, she says she noticed cameras pointed at a contestant who was playing with his mother. 'This kid is sitting at the finish line, he’s crying, and cameras are on him and he’s waiting for his mom. They added [more time] to the clock for her to get across because she was one of the people that they wanted to be in the show.'"

I honestly expected Netflix to have all the contestants staying in a nice hotel and that they’d be able to enjoy the experience as free vacation and explore the UK on non-filming days, then have to suit up and “put on a show” during filming days for the show. But that was definitely not the case. Netflix just wanted free labor for a fraction of the price and only 1-person (being the winner) walks away with a paycheck…a BIG one. I told my friend that Netflix is actually cheaper/stingier than I expected them to be given how much their stock & company is worth, lol.

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.

I mean, it was real. But they did make sure to film the most interesting people who signed up and edited out a lot to fit it all in to make it all fit.

I heard there were a lot of reshoots: i was confused as to why when that girl squatted for 8 seconds was crying and gave up and looks like they may have restarted multiple times

So I personally know one of the contestants. He stated that for red light greenlight was not 5 mins and was actually 7 hrs. 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. My friend said people got out because they had to go to the bathroom and couldn't hold it.

[@You2UbeForTV]

Did your friend have any screen time?

[@leeshapon]

i was wondering why people kept laying/sitting down, that’s so dumb

By the way guys, this is NOT season 2 of the show. This is just a little reality show they decided to make. The actually second season is coming out next year, I believe :)

@UnitTrace the original squid game creators are from south korea, this was a british show,,, so hopefully people aren’t gonna drop the original show. i can’t wait for season 2 (bc of a single actress lmao)

Def check out the episode with the cookie. The cut scene to this one guy dry heaving becasue he is nervous as people die aronud him is hilarious.

[@Tux-rs7rp]

I went to watch the first episode to see just how bad it was for myself, and you weren’t kidding. Someone really did cry when 200 was eliminated and that was just hilarious.

I remember when the casting call went out I thought “Why not?” But decided against it after realizing I was planning on joining the service instead, I have never been more glad about my past choices

You think the military is going to be any better? It's even more hyper-capitalist than the squid games, with an even higher chance of injury.

[@peterstoric6560]

[@unfiltered8407]

One of my friends auditioned to be on the show and got accepted to be a participant. But she turned down the opportunity after finding out what the living conditions would be like during her final interview with one of the shows producers. She was smart enough to ask about living environment and accommodation during her virtual interview. She told me they told her that they have to stay in the building during the entirety of the shoot, that they couldn’t leave even during NON-filming hours, that the showers were co-ed & communal (but had individual stalls-at the very least), that they’d only be wearing the track suits and no other change of clothing even on NON-filming days, that their belongings would be confiscated (no phones, no books, no music, etc), and that they couldn’t order food from outside and they were to eat only what the show provided them with to make the experience feel more “real” and “immersive”. She said when she heard all that she was like hell no and respectfully bowed out, lol. Good luck to the 1 person who ends up being the sole victor though.

[@unfiltered8407]

@@justinwescott8125I’m pretty sure they were being sarcastic and saying that the show’s crude living conditions, behind the scene, is like signing up for the military….they didn’t actually join the military.

Did you even watch the video😭

[@nolanahannigan3224]

I’ve seen a few videos from contestants and I don’t know how true but apparently the timer was fake during red light green light and they would stand for 30-40 min during a red light. Which is why u see a lot have hands in pockets cause it was so cold and they were out for so long. Again I don’t know how true but it makes sense with they hypothermia claim and the reason so many had hands in pockets

Ur right it isn't a gameshow my bad thats trivia like jepordy lol, it's a competition show. And I honestly don't care if it's scripted most are anyways, I'm there to just see who wins and the drama just like in the OG squid game series.

The red light green light one actually took more than 7 hours to film due to the long time it took them to be sure of who to eliminate each single pause.
