I was a contestant on the show (433) and tbh 198 was a huge bully in the dorms. And we were all starving, like I lost 10 pounds the week I was there. The people that stole the food afterwards was like…idek what came over me. It was desperate times
Source? I don't think that it is scripted. Some participants expressed their views. Basically everyone you see is not an actor, they were strategically chosen by Netflix to create as much drama as possible. Many events are coincidental. What Netflix essentially does is push content/events in one direction.
One thing that people don’t really know is that the red light green light game was filmed over a period of several hours- which is why the girl in the squat position was being so “dramatic.” They had to stand in their positions for 40 minutes at a time while the producers figured out who was eliminated.
Why no one thought of doing rock, paper, scissors to get the cookie shapes is beyond me… And people being animals over the hamburgers/fries - disgusting but not surprised
FR. Pure selfishness. He had the pressure of more than 10 people on his shoulders and the other three had already made their decision. Not everyone has an attitude like them.
@@maylily820yeah I’ll always remember 432 as the heretic who compared himself to Jesus Christ, and again what did Jesus Christ compete in?? What’s he talking about
This kinda feels like psychological torture. Poor Spencer, man is going to need therapy. I mean, I get it’s a lot of money but it’s not worth it due to the trauma of the experience.
I'm positive a 2nd season will eventually get pick up and hopefully anyone who is thin skinned or faint hearted don't volunteer yourself to go on the show unless you're willing to step up to the challenge.
Netflix really chose some horrible people. It's perfect. It really brought out the worst in these people. The freedom that players had to do what they wanted in games and in the dorms is really fucked up.
This coming out at the same time as the new Hunger Games stuff is impecable timing. Watching people suffer for entertainment. I feel so guilty and yet this is the most entertaining reality show I’ve seen in a LONG time, so there’s no way I’m taking my eyes off.
Yeah making the votes public changed the concept of that challenge but at least the three who got eliminated deserved it except for 374 but he did ask for it
I love it! I just wish there werent so many random elimination because its getting old fast. Id rather see them play games ,and actually compete against each other.
It is a lot of people so not everyone will be eliminated in the games. And remember they’re going off the actual show, there’s only like 5 or six actual games and the rest are tests.
I feel like the eliminations are tantamount to them randomly killing each other in the show, but it still feels like the worst way to leave just cause someone said so
This reminds me of the disturbing psychological experiments they don't allow researchers to do anymore, like the one where people role play being prisoners or guards. We've already proved that under certain conditions people forget this is role-playing and can actually suffer severe consequences. Beyond the fact that this reality show missed the point of the original, it sounds like it could cause real harm and I don't trust Netflix to care about the emotional well being of the contestants. I can't support this.
@@theCatsitter878I doubt a giant tech company (especially after Love is Blind controversy), would be dumb enough to “starve” their contestants on their most popular television production broadcasted worldwide. 😂 that was probably just staged to replicate the actual show and they received regular/normal foods while they weren’t looking for reaction footage.
@@Pandoraaaa408exactly! Like people are acting like someone forced trier hand to participate. I understand they couldn't read into the future to know EXACTLY what would happen, but they know what COULD happen.
@@jonathand5601Some contestants have claimed they lost lots of weight in a short period of time & were constantly hungry… but who knows. Maybe it was staged 🤷♀️ I stopped watching after 30 minutes because I didn’t enjoy it
Ikr it was his reward ugh that ither play 432 I felt so bad for spencer 432's smirk knowing that autistic player (spencer)was being taken advantage that handshake was evil😢
@@deeznutz5235 I dunno if pushed by producers but seemed to take it very seriously a lot of the players at the end of the day if one winner , the odds arnt great I would just have fun with it and if win be a bonus
Same! Especially because that same girl had gotten mad at 161 (I think his name is Lorenzo) for getting back in line for extra food during the 1st meal! Like how are you gonna be that hypocritical?! And what she did was worse, imo, cuz as far as we know, no one missed out on food because of what Lorenzo did.
After the two days of elimination by votes I thought they were going to give their mental heath a break with that picnic but NOPE, that’s when I was like wow this show is insane
I loved the cliché... the drama... the villain, the (boring) wise old man, the groups... mother and son. Eliminations. Everything I could ask for. Thats perfect to watch with friends 😂😂😂
@@robbiedamascus I get that you have your own opinion but you have to admit that it got ridiculous when they started adding drama. Netflix tried to paint here's and villains in the first episode, THE FIRST ONE! What makes it worse is that players like 330 where voted out because of peer pressure. All he did was give suggestions and he was suddenly enemy number 1. Then they made it all about feminism and how the men were sexist for starting their on groups, ridiculous if you ask me. The challenges they added were annoying and unnecessary, the phone one was there for no reason and them taking away tug of war for battleship was so dumb. Felt extremely staged with the editing and screentime some characters got. Although, I haven't watched the full thing so it might get better at the end.
@@TinyManu77 Oh no.. don't get me wrong. I admit that. It's ridiculous and completely nonsense, BUT that's why I think it's good. Tbh I fast forward most of them being interviewed sitting in that room, I focused the drama in the dorms and between games. I get that many (and maybe you) were hoping for something more serious like survivor. But I'm fine with what we have. 330 and 198 (phone guy) didn't think about the game... terrible moves. 432 was smart. Well, him saying that empathy is a weakness... damn. Villain material. The show is corny and embraces that. Same thing for Love is Blind... I'm not watching for the content. Idk, you should be prepare, my friend.. I feel like in the end it's going to be a lot more dramatic
@@TheCagedKmodern survivor is worse than this game dude. They literally still have to deal with being cold , barely eating 500 calories a day , people trying to backstab you out of the game with votes every other day. Lmao oh yeah and it's for way less money. Literally sleeping on wood or bamboo. I don't want to hear the crying on this show.
When you sign up for survivor, you know you're gonna live on an island and eat rice. These contestants didn't know they were going to starved and freezing on a warehouse.
It was a chance at $4.56 million at some point spencers gotta say fuck it and take the risk. Also he was fine he just cried when shit got real and broke down he got eliminated, like many others did
Ashley was such a hypocrite she was mad at the Asian lady for tryna get her out even tho Ashley was the one who didn’t want to do what everyone agreed until she was forced to go when Trey got eliminated cuz she wouldn’t go and then everyone just forgets about it tryna say the old lady shouldn’t have done that like whatttttttttt
Yeah she gaslighted Mai when she spoke to her after saying she done nothing wrong.. was so confused when nobody called Ashley out during and after the bridge game. IMO Mai is such a good soul and as weird as it sounds I felt a connection with her even though she don’t know me 😂 Hope she wins
I think there might’ve been some editing tricks there as 1. No one seemed to mention or care much after that happened 2. Ashley said she did take a jump and said it to everyone else, which I was confused about because the show clearly showed her saying she didn’t agree to blah and how she wasn’t taking over for him, but that made me remember what show I was watching: a reality show, not everything is what they perceive Also, IT’S A GAME AND YPURE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT ON TOP. I wasn’t mad at anyone’s decision. At the end of the day, you go hard for yourself
Thank you!!! That was driving me crazy. It's like they collectively forgot how Ashley didn't follow through with the plan when they were at the glass bridge. It was so messed up. But somehow, everyone turned on Mai??? That made no sense.
He was not the smartest by far lol. The smartest people on the show are the ones that stay in the middle; they are social enough but not too out there to put a target on their backs. His overconfidence and arrogance bit him in the ass in the end, and even if he did survive Warships, he would've definitely been voted out during the test.@@goodish9765
That woman squatting was mostly likely in that position for 30 minutes in freezing conditions. Her giving up makes far more sense when that context is known.
@@Musicluvr4 if you read a couple articles on the show, it apparently took 4 - 9 hours to film the Red Light, Green Light segment since the producers had to review the film to see who was eliminated. That’s where the 30 minutes number comes from.
I just saw the new Hunger Games and watching this I’m realizing when the Hunger Games become real, it won’t be as it’s portrayed in the books/films: people will absolutely self-select into participating.
lol it was even crazier being there in person. There was so much footage left on the cutting room floor, but Netflix really made an addicting show out of it!
I'm reading about how there was scripted stuff and suspicions about actors. Is it possible there could have been actors there and you wouldn't have known?
@@Palaecro anything is possible, but it's very unlikely. A lot of the stuff coming out, is honestly, just sour grapes. No one got special or preferred treatment. Also as far as the contestants were concerned there were no scripts. (Leading questions from production? lol sure, but no scripts) I have to give the studio credit where credit is due.
Rock Paper Scissors: If one player wins, that winner chooses first. If two players win, those two winners play another round to determine final winner. If three players win, the three play again to determine final winner. But I think maybe the reason why nobody suggested it, is because nobody wanted to play a fair game in choosing the shape.
I have this theory that Rick will come back at the end and be like "Ha-Ha I'm a Netflix executive and was in control the whole time." But that would have only been a good payoff if him and Stephen made it to marbles.
We can always count on you to deliver the best recaps! Thank you so much for taking time out of your crazy life to give us a moment of wonder. What a wild show! I look forward to seeing your thoughts about its future! Thank you! ❤
That a major corporation saw the original show and didn't learn anything about the message of corporate greed putting the poor against each other somehow surprised me. I don't know why but I think this show has killed some of my faith in humanity
The show is the living definition of “tell me you watched the show without understanding what the show was trying to say.” Edit: Looks like everyone in these replies telling me to lighten up ALSO missed the point of the original show.
@@coldstrike3434Like every other show my a**. It’s a game that forces some good people to make “throw under the bus decisions” and shows the worst side of human being..yea, we definitely need more of that these days 👍
This show is insane and it's very existence misses the point of the original show. Thank you for covering this madness. Also, 432 will DEFINITELY be making his rounds through Netflix's dating shows.
@@whointhewhatThe original show is a critique of society and class and how so much of life revolves around money. In the show, they literally end the lives of hundreds of desperate people and make them do unspeakable things. The "game" only exists because of the twisted whims of those who have money and thus hold power. To turn that into an actual game reduces the original story to a mindless spectacle for entertainment and ignores the main point - that this shouldn't be a thing that exists.
I’m glad it was similar format to the show and they didn’t have an Andy Cohen or Terry Crews type to try and add “colorful commentary” or instigate reactions.
Participant here! Honestly it’s hard to make people fully understand how intense the experience is, how close you get to people but also how you always need to keep your guard up. It’s so much more “real” than what it may seem. Either way I get the criticisms, but I hope you guys enjoy it!
hiiii I was a contestant on the show (433) and the video and a lot of the comments judging the food scene. I just want to say that the food was more than just a little yucky and gross. It was terrible…and worst of all there was so little of it served to us. We were getting 1000 calories a day or less and I lost 10 pounds the week I was there. I personally didn’t take the fries, but the ones that fell on the ground I saw people picking up and eating. At that point everyone was so hungry and desperate. People who stole it even said that something came over them they can’t describe. Please don’t judge anyone too hard….times were tough
@@konaokeI just saw an ad on Twitter and sent in a one minute video that was completely unplanned and shitty quality. But for some reason I kept getting thru the interview stages. Some influences were reached out to but I’m like…regular lmao. My whole schtick during the interviews is that the concept of making squid game a reality show goes totally against the series’ political commentary. But I guess they thought that was funny and they let me on…and then I couldn’t say no. 😭 It was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and I know it’s a privilege to even say that. But Red Light Green Light as other contestants have leaked to the media was MUCH harder than it appears, the food as I mentioned was scarce, and overall being stuck in the same room with no form of entertainment and not being able to step outside for 6 days was tough. What kept me sane were the other contestants, and with no distractions we were able to grow very close. Plus I didn’t want to quit and seem like a little bitch on TV haha
@@bgtechno93he was just playing himself. It was a high stress environment and he was under a lot of pressure. I did the circle dalgona, so I don’t know too much first hand. Also keep in mind from filming the first shape to filming umbrella probably took 4+ hours in between. That’s a lot of time to be anxious. If I remember correctly some people ran into him during the down time (after selection but before the game itself) and he was not doing well…I definitely don’t think it was an act. My friend who got out on umbrella said no one outwardly bullied him. They were either silent or told him it was okay. The “idiot” was edited to make it seem like it was right in front of Spencer but it wasn’t. It was said out of earshot. We were all psych evaled before going in the game but with stakes that high, even if you had a little anxiety I would imagine it would be multiplied x1000
This is so depressing, I watched all the episodes out rn (🏴☠) and its doing the evil thing the show is about minus killing people..... also stuff is coming out about people suing for conditions and GOOD they should for both phyically and mentally torturing people. If netflix fight it with "well they consented" they are literally doing what the bad guys do in the show.
No one is being force to play even if you sign the consent. They are free to leave at anytime and I'm sure your fellow contestant would gladly show you the door.
@@jessicaturecek9446 My point is that they might be a bit salty because they were eliminated. You won't hear any complaints from whoever wins the prize money. Then again, kinda make sense. Just like the original- I don't remember seeing anyone volunteering to leave before the start of any game.
i’m not a big fan of reality shows but I do love squid game so I decide to try this. I got sucked in the first episode. It’s just interesting to watch the people battling each other mentally and physically. Trying to be friends while at the same time thinking how to eliminate them.
@@gemstar7286 The one with the phone ringing was hilarious. It wasn't really a game, more of a test but the way this guy was trying to convince other people to pick up the phone was so funny. He got too greedy.
Spencer getting railroaded into taking the umbrella is already an iconic reality tv moment. It’s hard to get someone to fail to meet the moment so spectacularly.
@@gemstar7286 He shouldn't have volunteered to be on a cut throat show like this in the first place where the entire premise is to lie, cheat, and deceive.
From comments I've read, they apparently were not fed correctly. I do think that even though it's a reality show, it's not correct not to give people enough food.
I got a follow up after my video application but unfortunately I had a family emergency and couldn’t accept it. It was really cool to see the final product though.
This is so wrong in so many levels. So tone deaf and weird. I feel so uncomfortable that these kind of shows are a thing now. Because where’s the line? Like, the fact that people wanted to make the concept of Squid Game a reality what’s to stop society from making it real real??? This proves that people would participate and what does that say about humanity? Idk this was a weird move, Netflix.
I feel guilty for even being curious about this show; like it's so fucked up. A while ago I kind of started thinking money based game shows in general were kind of fucked up when you really thing about it (though yes I still watch them) but this is kind of on another level. Like they fully made the fucked up show that is a critique on capitalism into an actual game show which in itself kind of points to the exploitation of capitalism. And we can't fucking get enough.
Guys please….don’t feel guilty. They’re all in there by free will. Yes, some of them take it way too seriously and the editing contributes that to persuade the audience. In the end it’s just a game and just like over 400 other people, you’ll lose. But if you’re a good person you might have made some new friends and had a unique experience
Ever since, 432,Lorenzo,Figgy, and the Jack and a box elimination, and the guy having a anxiety attack over the umbrella eliminations happened I'm over here like who are these people. I like the gamer girl, and the girl with the dreads. I dont care about the petty mom and her son also the ring leader 179 is okay but everyone else I'm over here like who are you and why should I care. The women crying about her kids came out of nowhere. Everyone who gets propt up gets eliminated and I'm over here like when we get down to the top 30 some random person is going to suddenly get thrown in my screen talking about how hard it was for them to get here. I get that the cast is huge and it's hard to edit and include but surely they could have made a better story then what they gave us.
Yes all the good “main character energy” type of people all left so quickly! There’s no one interesting left. And all these random people are just not worth investing in. After the old man & young guy duo left there’s just no one to root for. I know they’re trying to make us love the mother son duo but they’re just not like-able at all. I’ll still watch the rest of the season on the 29th but I just could care less who wins or loses at this point. All the characters I started to get attached to left for such dumb reasons.
Too many good people got eliminated for my liking, I did not expect the people to make the final who have made the final . I think I'm only sort of rooting for Mae now. She wouldn't be there if it wasn't for TJ who should be with her side by side ,I hated how he was screwed over in the glass floor challenge 🤦♀️🧐. I liked the mother & son aswell , the maths girl was strategic .I liked the Irish guy aswell,so many nice players gone 🙄 .
I felt sad when my favorite players are gone one by one especially 243 and 232, they're like father and son... I love their bonding but 229 chose to eliminate them 😢 I'm upset with her! I wish 302 and 301 will stay at the end.
I've only watched the first 2 episodes but I totally blown away! Wow it's more intense than the series! I like the fact that I can see the true colors of each player, greediness or kindness especially 134 and 101 when they removed no. 200, instead of helping, they chose to eliminate him. 😢 And Karma is a b*tch! For 342, even though everyone is annoyed with him, I still want him to stay because I like his strong personality. And for 299, I felt sad for him, I was annoyed with others who blamed him. But here in this Squid Game Challenge, the winner for me is still the one who fought fairly. ❤
@@smilechynwa You never heard of competition? Stop being so soft. Competition builds character and cognitive skills. We have seen the ruthless and naive fall on this show. No one is being tortured. Be for real.
First time today that I've ever watched Squid games stuff. I watched this show before I watched the original series (binge watched both for thanksgiving) I had no ideal that this was a real reality show. I kept saying "Wow what incredible actors!" I felt sorry for Spencer even when I thought he was acting! Damn entertaining show I must say. So that female who stole that man's hamburger really is a greedy thief. I was really wishing that she'd been eliminated quickly after doing that clown ish!
@@SH-wn9xhIf anything I got more depressed at the end of the day these guys in Challenge ate dealing with way less stakes it's almost a parody in comparison to the original.
The production value is pretty good, 4.6mil prize money also grabs your attention. Biggest problem is the contestants, not a single person makes me feel like I want to see them win this thing, or feel bad if they get eliminated...they are all kinda meh, except for maybe Dr Rick and the game development girl who really shines during battleship. The way they form alliance or decide who to eliminate has little to no strategy or depth of thought. The first 2 in the kitchen who chose to eliminate the Indian guy, like why him? There are much more serious threats than him. If the Korean drama reflects the cutthroat high pressure capitalist society in S. Korea, then this American game show version shows how dumb and mediocre the population really is...we are screwed.
i agree with everything. the only person i was rooting for was the old man the gganbu gang or whatever it was called. when he got eliminated i was pretty upset
@@ashley.taylor174 Well she backed it up, totally crushed the other team during battleboat. It's exactly this anti-intellectualism in America that's making each generations dumber and dumber.
@@editornoob4606 This is not acted. 1. I have following the Stephen guy on instagram for over a year. So I know for a fact he’s not an actor. He lives in K.C. And owned a moving company that went out of business. 2. When their money there is actually laws and rules that the production company has to follow. Because if not what would stop something from production from rigging the whole thing for a friend or family member of theirs to win. So yeah production isn’t really allowed to control things when money is involved especially millions of dollars
Well, a lot of the complaints come form participants themselves. Apparently, they weren't treated the best way while filming the show. Some say they didn't get enough food and suffered from hypothermia.
I binged the first 3 episodes last night. I read they actually had to stay frozen for 20-30 minutes at a time in the Red Light Green Light game, that temperatures inside the hangar reached 17-degrees and took 9 hours to tape.
I actually liked it. Most people who say its bad judged by just seeing first 10 mins. I felt it got better in the later episodes. It’s not easy to shoot this as a reality show with 456 contestants. I loved the 3rd game was even better than the actual Squid Game one.
I follow your bachelor nation content, and I was SO EXCITED to see that you covered this, too!!! Love your perspective on things, I wanted a good recap/opinion video, you’re the best.
Player 211 here!! RLGL was so much harder than shown ofc! We played that game for HOURSSSSS so be nice to the girl who decided to give up bc she was in the squat 😭
SPOILER AHEAD: I actually wanted him to last more because he made other people mad and that was fun to watch 😂 But I do agree he had a superior attitude which was annoying
Or everyone understands and knows 2 things: -this does not take away the message and show’s success -people still want a chance to win money (as shown by the volunteers who didn’t get murdered & who weren’t even as down bad as the characters in the show…they just live in the world we do too)
I don’t think it’s that deep in general The problem is the way they’ve gone about things. As reality shows are: they’re fake, so they’ve done some editing and probing too keep viewers interested but honestly made some things confusing And conditions (at least in the first game) Otherwise, the idea in general is fine. Like the Mr.Beast one (except I heard his was even better because even losers got $, so it was just for the fun of it)

I wonder why we are getting so vaque answers. When the producers of the show were interviewed about the authenticity of the show, they never gave straight answers but instead revealed that it was partly scripted. For me it feels that it's quite obvious there are actors in play. The social dynamics in the show feel way too convenient for entertainment and general feel is unnatural.
@@Shungarui it’s striped in terms of what game is next. But by tax law and “gambling” laws the producers cannot strip who wins 4.6 million. That’s against the law
I watched it through the eyes of comedy and kind of reality. I laughed a lot and tbh I’m enjoying it lol it’s entertaining and in my opinion it doesn’t scream scripted like everyone saying. I think ofc there’s contracts and obligations like acting as if they’re shot but the rest feels real.
Actually my family enjoyed the show and it's really a good psychological reality TV series. It's brings the real color of people in terms of eyeing for the reward. People have desires and greed that makes us evil in anyway we could think of.
I was pretty disappointed by the fact that pretty much every contestant were from the US, with some exceptions. I thought it was going to be an international competition, with people who knew English but came from all over the world. 🤔
@@Nefarious24Mothi/200 was a interesting British guy who immediately got eliminated by those two idiots chopping carrots for some reason (scripted much??)

One thing that people don’t really know is that the red light green light game was filmed over a period of several hours- which is why the girl in the squat position was being so “dramatic.” They had to stand in their positions for 40 minutes at a time while the producers figured out who was eliminated.
Why no one thought of doing rock, paper, scissors to get the cookie shapes is beyond me…

Netflix really chose some horrible people. It's perfect. It really brought out the worst in these people. The freedom that players had to do what they wanted in games and in the dorms is really fucked up.

Why are you cheering?
battleship is fun to watch, but the drama in voting at front of everyone's faces is just shady 😹
Yeah making the votes public changed the concept of that challenge but at least the three who got eliminated deserved it except for 374 but he did ask for it
I love it! I just wish there werent so many random elimination because its getting old fast. Id rather see them play games ,and actually compete against each other.
Yes, too much of it is just people being eliminated for no reason, not because they failed at something.
Need a backstory
It is a lot of people so not everyone will be eliminated in the games. And remember they’re going off the actual show, there’s only like 5 or six actual games and the rest are tests.
I feel like the eliminations are tantamount to them randomly killing each other in the show, but it still feels like the worst way to leave just cause someone said so
I actually like the dorm room eliminations because it shows how shady people can get
I feel so bad for number 299 Spencer 😢 Jeeezzz it was a messs. He wanted to throw up, but keep fighting it. My God!!!!
This reminds me of the disturbing psychological experiments they don't allow researchers to do anymore, like the one where people role play being prisoners or guards. We've already proved that under certain conditions people forget this is role-playing and can actually suffer severe consequences. Beyond the fact that this reality show missed the point of the original, it sounds like it could cause real harm and I don't trust Netflix to care about the emotional well being of the contestants. I can't support this.
These ppl willingly signed up for the show. They all watched the series and knew what it was about, and actively seeked out participation…
Personally, I don't understand why they don't give them food. What's the point of starving them?
@@theCatsitter878I doubt a giant tech company (especially after Love is Blind controversy), would be dumb enough to “starve” their contestants on their most popular television production broadcasted worldwide. 😂 that was probably just staged to replicate the actual show and they received regular/normal foods while they weren’t looking for reaction footage.
@@Pandoraaaa408exactly! Like people are acting like someone forced trier hand to participate. I understand they couldn't read into the future to know EXACTLY what would happen, but they know what COULD happen.

Same! Especially because that same girl had gotten mad at 161 (I think his name is Lorenzo) for getting back in line for extra food during the 1st meal! Like how are you gonna be that hypocritical?! And what she did was worse, imo, cuz as far as we know, no one missed out on food because of what Lorenzo did.
it made my blood boil

The way they did the contestants with the marble game is epic. Bro, I can't stop watching it.

After the two days of elimination by votes I thought they were going to give their mental heath a break with that picnic but NOPE, that’s when I was like wow this show is insane
I loved the cliché... the drama... the villain, the (boring) wise old man, the groups... mother and son. Eliminations. Everything I could ask for. Thats perfect to watch with friends 😂😂😂
Let me guess... You haven't watched the whole thing
NGL I thought the old man was gonna have something to do with it, like in the original. I was sad he was eliminated.
@@TinyManu77 Why? I watched it... and I still think it's cool. I'm excited for 29th. I've make some bets among my friends 😂😂
@@robbiedamascus I get that you have your own opinion but you have to admit that it got ridiculous when they started adding drama. Netflix tried to paint here's and villains in the first episode, THE FIRST ONE! What makes it worse is that players like 330 where voted out because of peer pressure. All he did was give suggestions and he was suddenly enemy number 1. Then they made it all about feminism and how the men were sexist for starting their on groups, ridiculous if you ask me. The challenges they added were annoying and unnecessary, the phone one was there for no reason and them taking away tug of war for battleship was so dumb. Felt extremely staged with the editing and screentime some characters got. Although, I haven't watched the full thing so it might get better at the end.
@@TinyManu77 Oh no.. don't get me wrong. I admit that. It's ridiculous and completely nonsense, BUT that's why I think it's good. Tbh I fast forward most of them being interviewed sitting in that room, I focused the drama in the dorms and between games. I get that many (and maybe you) were hoping for something more serious like survivor. But I'm fine with what we have. 330 and 198 (phone guy) didn't think about the game... terrible moves. 432 was smart. Well, him saying that empathy is a weakness... damn. Villain material. The show is corny and embraces that. Same thing for Love is Blind... I'm not watching for the content. Idk, you should be prepare, my friend.. I feel like in the end it's going to be a lot more dramatic
There are SO many game shows that are far more brutal (Survivor, for example) yet people are acting like the players are actually dying. So dramatic!
Modern survivor is a fucking joke. Also read into the stories now. 8-9 hours to play redlight greenlight
@@TheCagedKmodern survivor is worse than this game dude. They literally still have to deal with being cold , barely eating 500 calories a day , people trying to backstab you out of the game with votes every other day. Lmao oh yeah and it's for way less money. Literally sleeping on wood or bamboo. I don't want to hear the crying on this show.
When you sign up for survivor, you know you're gonna live on an island and eat rice. These contestants didn't know they were going to starved and freezing on a warehouse.
My friend Kyle is on the show and said it was an insane experience! So excited to see your reviews!
Thats insane What number was he?

I loved Kyle! Haven't watched all of it, hope he had a great time!
I remember see that guy in the show! can you ask him if it was scripted?
I felt bad when he had the umbrella shape. He was sooo close!
How did Spencer even get approved to go on? This is just cementing that Netflix does not care about the mental health of their reality contestants
all the featured people are definitely 100% actors
You know you could just not watch the show instead of complaining
It was a chance at $4.56 million at some point spencers gotta say fuck it and take the risk. Also he was fine he just cried when shit got real and broke down he got eliminated, like many others did
They all signed up themselves dog, no one was being harsh on the dude either he did that to himself 😂😂
it's a wake up call for him to get help
Ashley was such a hypocrite she was mad at the Asian lady for tryna get her out even tho Ashley was the one who didn’t want to do what everyone agreed until she was forced to go when Trey got eliminated cuz she wouldn’t go and then everyone just forgets about it tryna say the old lady shouldn’t have done that like whatttttttttt
Yeah she gaslighted Mai when she spoke to her after saying she done nothing wrong.. was so confused when nobody called Ashley out during and after the bridge game.
IMO Mai is such a good soul and as weird as it sounds I felt a connection with her even though she don’t know me 😂 Hope she wins
Mai is just as bad too, she didn’t follow thru with the girls plan
I think there might’ve been some editing tricks there as
1. No one seemed to mention or care much after that happened
2. Ashley said she did take a jump and said it to everyone else, which I was confused about because the show clearly showed her saying she didn’t agree to blah and how she wasn’t taking over for him, but that made me remember what show I was watching: a reality show, not everything is what they perceive
Also, IT’S A GAME AND YPURE SUPPOSED TO COME OUT ON TOP. I wasn’t mad at anyone’s decision. At the end of the day, you go hard for yourself
Thank you!!! That was driving me crazy. It's like they collectively forgot how Ashley didn't follow through with the plan when they were at the glass bridge.
It was so messed up. But somehow, everyone turned on Mai??? That made no sense.
I luv how it depicts people’s true nature when it comes to something desperate saving themselves

That woman squatting was mostly likely in that position for 30 minutes in freezing conditions. Her giving up makes far more sense when that context is known.
That particular game was 10 minutes in total. Most likely was squatting for less than 2 minutes.

What number were you?
@@MasterPenguin__ 357
Yeah it was so many contestant’s I was wondering why they chose certain people to be narrators
I'm reading about how there was scripted stuff and suspicions about actors. Is it possible there could have been actors there and you wouldn't have known?
@@Palaecro anything is possible, but it's very unlikely. A lot of the stuff coming out, is honestly, just sour grapes. No one got special or preferred treatment.
Also as far as the contestants were concerned there were no scripts. (Leading questions from production? lol sure, but no scripts)
I have to give the studio credit where credit is due.
Rock Paper Scissors: If one player wins, that winner chooses first. If two players win, those two winners play another round to determine final winner. If three players win, the three play again to determine final winner.
But I think maybe the reason why nobody suggested it, is because nobody wanted to play a fair game in choosing the shape.
Players have said they weren’t allowed to use a game to pick shapes. They weren’t even sure if the race would have counted.
I have this theory that Rick will come back at the end and be like "Ha-Ha I'm a Netflix executive and was in control the whole time." But that would have only been a good payoff if him and Stephen made it to marbles.
I was thinking that too.
He hasn't recapped that yet

Especially Stephen. I wanted him to win

That a major corporation saw the original show and didn't learn anything about the message of corporate greed putting the poor against each other somehow surprised me. I don't know why but I think this show has killed some of my faith in humanity
The show is the living definition of “tell me you watched the show without understanding what the show was trying to say.”

@@whointhewhatThe original show is a critique of society and class and how so much of life revolves around money. In the show, they literally end the lives of hundreds of desperate people and make them do unspeakable things. The "game" only exists because of the twisted whims of those who have money and thus hold power. To turn that into an actual game reduces the original story to a mindless spectacle for entertainment and ignores the main point - that this shouldn't be a thing that exists.

Is it true about the staged part and how they picked favorites, and how you recorded red light green light for 9 hours in the cold?

@@Oofteam1 hiii
hiiii I was a contestant on the show (433) and the video and a lot of the comments judging the food scene. I just want to say that the food was more than just a little yucky and gross. It was terrible…and worst of all there was so little of it served to us. We were getting 1000 calories a day or less and I lost 10 pounds the week I was there. I personally didn’t take the fries, but the ones that fell on the ground I saw people picking up and eating. At that point everyone was so hungry and desperate. People who stole it even said that something came over them they can’t describe. Please don’t judge anyone too hard….times were tough
How did you get in? And how did you stay sane in there?
@@konaokeI just saw an ad on Twitter and sent in a one minute video that was completely unplanned and shitty quality. But for some reason I kept getting thru the interview stages. Some influences were reached out to but I’m like…regular lmao. My whole schtick during the interviews is that the concept of making squid game a reality show goes totally against the series’ political commentary. But I guess they thought that was funny and they let me on…and then I couldn’t say no. 😭
It was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, and I know it’s a privilege to even say that. But Red Light Green Light as other contestants have leaked to the media was MUCH harder than it appears, the food as I mentioned was scarce, and overall being stuck in the same room with no form of entertainment and not being able to step outside for 6 days was tough. What kept me sane were the other contestants, and with no distractions we were able to grow very close. Plus I didn’t want to quit and seem like a little bitch on TV haha
what can you tell us about the whole Spencer scene, was he playing a character or do you think he was being himself?
@@bgtechno93he was just playing himself. It was a high stress environment and he was under a lot of pressure. I did the circle dalgona, so I don’t know too much first hand.
Also keep in mind from filming the first shape to filming umbrella probably took 4+ hours in between. That’s a lot of time to be anxious. If I remember correctly some people ran into him during the down time (after selection but before the game itself) and he was not doing well…I definitely don’t think it was an act.
My friend who got out on umbrella said no one outwardly bullied him. They were either silent or told him it was okay. The “idiot” was edited to make it seem like it was right in front of Spencer but it wasn’t. It was said out of earshot.
We were all psych evaled before going in the game but with stakes that high, even if you had a little anxiety I would imagine it would be multiplied x1000

This proves that people would participate and what does that say about humanity? Idk this was a weird move, Netflix.
yeah we're definitely should rule based on moral lmao
I really thought it went against the whole ethos of Squid Game to make it a reality show but thank god they did bc this shit GOOD
I feel guilty for even being curious about this show; like it's so fucked up. A while ago I kind of started thinking money based game shows in general were kind of fucked up when you really thing about it (though yes I still watch them) but this is kind of on another level. Like they fully made the fucked up show that is a critique on capitalism into an actual game show which in itself kind of points to the exploitation of capitalism. And we can't fucking get enough.
won't be any different despite whichever economic system they have
Yeah I hate the world for this being a show, I hate us for watching, and hate myself for loving it
Guys please….don’t feel guilty. They’re all in there by free will. Yes, some of them take it way too seriously and the editing contributes that to persuade the audience. In the end it’s just a game and just like over 400 other people, you’ll lose. But if you’re a good person you might have made some new friends and had a unique experience

I like the gamer girl, and the girl with the dreads. I dont care about the petty mom and her son also the ring leader 179 is okay but everyone else I'm over here like who are you and why should I care. The women crying about her kids came out of nowhere. Everyone who gets propt up gets eliminated and I'm over here like when we get down to the top 30 some random person is going to suddenly get thrown in my screen talking about how hard it was for them to get here. I get that the cast is huge and it's hard to edit and include but surely they could have made a better story then what they gave us.
Yeah I expected 432 to make a lot further. Honestly wanted him to stay because I enjoy the drama
Yes all the good “main character energy” type of people all left so quickly! There’s no one interesting left. And all these random people are just not worth investing in. After the old man & young guy duo left there’s just no one to root for. I know they’re trying to make us love the mother son duo but they’re just not like-able at all. I’ll still watch the rest of the season on the 29th but I just could care less who wins or loses at this point. All the characters I started to get attached to left for such dumb reasons.

Too many good people got eliminated for my liking, I did not expect the people to make the final who have made the final . I think I'm only sort of rooting for Mae now.

First time today that I've ever watched Squid games stuff.

I felt sorry for Spencer even when I thought he was acting! Damn entertaining show I must say. So that female who stole that man's hamburger really is a greedy thief. I was really wishing that she'd been eliminated quickly after doing that clown ish!
She called out the guy who took extra food and then stole a burger like one episode later
Straight up trash, both of the burger girl and Lorenzo. And wth is he wearing in the interview room?

@@SH-wn9xhIf anything I got more depressed at the end of the day these guys in Challenge ate dealing with way less stakes it's almost a parody in comparison to the original.
Certain segments in the episodes had me laughing uncontrollably due to the clever editing of clips and the humorous portrayal of certain contestants💀
Player 142 (not seen in this Bachelor Fantake video) is a Swedish singer who represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002.
Cool!!
The production value is pretty good, 4.6mil prize money also grabs your attention. Biggest problem is the contestants, not a single person makes me feel like I want to see them win this thing, or feel bad if they get eliminated...they are all kinda meh, except for maybe Dr Rick and the game development girl who really shines during battleship. The way they form alliance or decide who to eliminate has little to no strategy or depth of thought. The first 2 in the kitchen who chose to eliminate the Indian guy, like why him? There are much more serious threats than him. If the Korean drama reflects the cutthroat high pressure capitalist society in S. Korea, then this American game show version shows how dumb and mediocre the population really is...we are screwed.
Meh. Dr. Rick and the Game Girl were super arrogant and self important. The game woman had to constantly repeat how intelligent she is.
i agree with everything. the only person i was rooting for was the old man the gganbu gang or whatever it was called. when he got eliminated i was pretty upset
@@ashley.taylor174 Well she backed it up, totally crushed the other team during battleboat. It's exactly this anti-intellectualism in America that's making each generations dumber and dumber.
Gganbu gang was literally the chill comfort team; best bois. No paid actors, no toxicity, no stealing, not crazy. Just hanging out.
@@Mngalahadthem being chill and being men got that Black woke lesbian triggered tho 🙄🙄
My takeaway so far is .... don't EVER be first in a line .... OOOF
The show gets crazier by the episode. Cant wait for Nov 29th
I have watched you for years as a bachelor fan so this is surreal seeing you cover this because I WAS ACTUALLY A CONTESTANT! 😂
How was the experience?
What number were you?
Was y'all acting, or was it 100% real
You lying
@@editornoob4606 This is not acted. 1. I have following the Stephen guy on instagram for over a year. So I know for a fact he’s not an actor. He lives in K.C. And owned a moving company that went out of business.
2. When their money there is actually laws and rules that the production company has to follow. Because if not what would stop something from production from rigging the whole thing for a friend or family member of theirs to win. So yeah production isn’t really allowed to control things when money is involved especially millions of dollars
Can we talk about how a lot of men cried! I hardy see it but in this show wow
I think the show is great, I don’t know what everyone is complaining about
Agreed
Well, a lot of the complaints come form participants themselves. Apparently, they weren't treated the best way while filming the show. Some say they didn't get enough food and suffered from hypothermia.
I binged the first 3 episodes last night. I read they actually had to stay frozen for 20-30 minutes at a time in the Red Light Green Light game, that temperatures inside the hangar reached 17-degrees and took 9 hours to tape.
I actually liked it. Most people who say its bad judged by just seeing first 10 mins. I felt it got better in the later episodes. It’s not easy to shoot this as a reality show with 456 contestants.
I loved the 3rd game was even better than the actual Squid Game one.
I follow your bachelor nation content, and I was SO EXCITED to see that you covered this, too!!! Love your perspective on things, I wanted a good recap/opinion video, you’re the best.
Player 211 here!! RLGL was so much harder than shown ofc! We played that game for HOURSSSSS so be nice to the girl who decided to give up bc she was in the squat 😭
Heyyy 433 here…ur so right. She’s probably held the squat for at least 10-15 minutes
Bruh the picnic part was crazy 🤣🤣🤣
I felt there would be a twist I naturally would have choose to sit with someone I hadn't spoken to...
I really loved 432, 161 and the gganbu gang, but they had to eliminate them😭
Same. 432 and 161 were the best
I love gganbu gang😭 Rick and Stephen are like father and son duo😭
@@alayzamae172 Same man , was rooting for rick and stephen the whole time but that cocky girl just had to eliminate them
161 was the best but got eliminated because he didn’t want granny’s Apple I laughed so HARD
I can’t stand 432 but he makes the best faces 😂😂
SPOILER AHEAD:
I actually wanted him to last more because he made other people mad and that was fun to watch 😂 But I do agree he had a superior attitude which was annoying
This show is so intense I was at the edge of my seat, but I was kinda mad when 432 got out he was the main entertainment…
fr…
i kinda actually liked it-
I enjoyed the show, but after thinking it over for a minute, doesn't it undermine the message of the actual series?
The fact that no one on this show or watching this show understands what Squid Game was about.
Or everyone understands and knows 2 things:
-this does not take away the message and show’s success
-people still want a chance to win money (as shown by the volunteers who didn’t get murdered & who weren’t even as down bad as the characters in the show…they just live in the world we do too)
I don’t think it’s that deep in general
The problem is the way they’ve gone about things. As reality shows are: they’re fake, so they’ve done some editing and probing too keep viewers interested but honestly made some things confusing
And conditions (at least in the first game)
Otherwise, the idea in general is fine. Like the Mr.Beast one (except I heard his was even better because even losers got $, so it was just for the fun of it)
I’m player 187!
How was your experience?
I know netflix reality tv game shows are so scripted and acted, but this one is so over the top lol
This is not acted. 1. I have following the Stephen guy on instagram for over a year. So I know for a fact he’s not an actor. He lives in K.C. And owned a moving company that went out of business.

I wonder why we are getting so vaque answers. When the producers of the show were interviewed about the authenticity of the show, they never gave straight answers but instead revealed that it was partly scripted.
For me it feels that it's quite obvious there are actors in play. The social dynamics in the show feel way too convenient for entertainment and general feel is unnatural.
instagram...so an actor okay lol@@ikexbankai
@@ikexbankai I don't think it "went out of business". They seem to have given up the business to all become full-time influencers. Cringe.
@@Shungarui it’s striped in terms of what game is next. But by tax law and “gambling” laws the producers cannot strip who wins 4.6 million. That’s against the law
Surprisingly this show is well made
I watched it through the eyes of comedy and kind of reality. I laughed a lot and tbh I’m enjoying it lol it’s entertaining and in my opinion it doesn’t scream scripted like everyone saying. I think ofc there’s contracts and obligations like acting as if they’re shot but the rest feels real.
Yea player 107 (the guy who was the first to finish red light green light) made a TH-cam video and in it he said it wasn’t scripted
Actually my family enjoyed the show and it's really a good psychological reality TV series. It's brings the real color of people in terms of eyeing for the reward. People have desires and greed that makes us evil in anyway we could think of.
Same, I enjoyed it as well.
Bro the girl that eliminated bro who won the random advantage from the Jack in The Box 💀💀💀and Jada stealing bro’s burger I love this show 😭😭
It starts to slow down around episode 3/4 but it's extremely good.
I feel like there could be some serious/long lasting psychological damage from this
I was pretty disappointed by the fact that pretty much every contestant were from the US, with some exceptions. I thought it was going to be an international competition, with people who knew English but came from all over the world. 🤔
Why would it be like that lmao
Gave us the worst of Americans
@@Nefarious24Mothi/200 was a interesting British guy who immediately got eliminated by those two idiots chopping carrots for some reason (scripted much??)
@@NewOrderOfAlexandriai was so annoyed by that, they literally talked about this cocky 432 guy and they still didnt pick him wtf
It's not surprising though. We ammies would love a show like this of course...also coming from a capitalist system compared to others with planning markets, big difference
Wait .. these are not actors ????? Mate I’ve watched this whole first part bored to death thinking these were actors lmao 🤣
That’s what I thought when I first watched it from what I’m reading it looks like it was turned into a real game show
Looks like it might be scripted somewhat with some actors mixed in
Battle ship was amazing!!
that guy comparing himself to christ was so strange. jesus would never say sympathy is a weakness. the amount of people jesus had sympathy for…
