Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 Shouldn't Happen For This Reason
Image
The finale of Squid Game: The Challenge was disappointingly anti-climactic, with a short and dull game of Rock, Paper, Scissors determining the winner. Editing made it difficult to invest in the contestants of Squid Game: The Challenge, as fan-favorites were eliminated early on and the focus shifted unpredictably. Squid Game: The Challenge lost the original series' message of capitalism gone awry, diluting the dark themes by turning it into a game show with less at stake.

Squid Game: The Challenge may be casting for another season, but the hit Netflix reality TV series doesn't merit a second season. Based on the Korean drama exposing the cruel underbelly of capitalism, the game show replicated many of the children's games from the original series without the gruesome murder. 456 contestants from around the world competed for a $4.56 million prize and were graciously allowed to leave with their lives when eliminated, a crucial diversion from the Korean drama.

Squid Game: The Challenge Winner
Image
Mai Whelan emerges as the winner of Squid Game: The Challenge after a dramatic finale, taking home the $4.56 million prize. The final game involves a high-stakes round of rock, paper, scissors, with Mai ultimately unlocking the safe and claiming the victory. Despite the controversy, Squid Game: The Challenge has already been renewed for season 2, and casting for new players is underway.

After 10 episodes spread across two weeks, a winner was finally crowned in Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge. A reality series spinoff to the ultra-popular South Korean series Squid Game created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, The Challenge featured several games faithful to the series, new twists, and plenty of drama between the 456 players who began with Red Light, Green Light in the first episode.

Boasting the largest prize sum in reality competition history, there was plenty at stake in the Netflix series. Tears were shed as contestants grew close to one another,...

‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ Players and Producers Talk Finale and Backlash
Image
In the final episode of Squid Game: The Challenge, the three finalists swapped their green tracksuits for button-downs and devoured a steak dinner on a triangular-shaped table, much like the dining hall featured in Netflix’s scripted drama Squid Game. Instead of a deadly knife fight, the two final contestants, Player 451 Phill Cain and Player 287 Mai Whelan, played the child’s game Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine the winner of the $4.56 million prize. Whelan, who bragged that the hand game was a personal favorite, was ultimately crowned.

Player 182 Tj Stukes,...
