Netflix’s Squid Game: The Ultimate Battle contestants have hilariously unleashed their grievances against the “inhumanely fun” rules of the competition, with one contestant donning the cloak of anonymity to blast the production for its outrageously unacceptable setup.
The reality show, debuting on November 22, takes its cues from the Emmy-winning Korean Drama Squid Game. In this wild ride, 456 brave souls vie for a jaw-dropping $4.56 million in prize money by engaging in games that make Twister look like a stroll in the park.
Our masked crusader, who spilled the beans to Variety during the summer, had a bone to pick with the show’s chilling filming conditions. The infamous Red Light, Green Light was the inaugural task, booting 228 players, including our anonymous source, out of the game faster than you can say, “Are those real bullets?”
According to our chilly whistleblower, he met his untimely demise because the production team decided to film on a day colder than a penguin’s ice bath. “This isn’t a Bear Grylls survival gig. If they had warned us about the Arctic temperatures, we’d have opted for a cozy Netflix binge instead,” he lamented.
But hold your laughter, because other players are having none of it! One contestant, Bryton, scoffed at the complaints, stating, “I was genuinely surprised someone sprinted to the media that quickly. They’re probably just miffed about getting the boot faster than a kangaroo on a caffeine high.”
Another self-proclaimed Hercules of the game, despite facing elimination, chimed in, “Come on! It’s called Squid Game: The Challenge, not Sunday Picnic in the Park. Expecting anything less than an Everest-level challenge is like hoping for a unicorn to deliver pizza.”
And let’s not forget Rick, the seasoned warrior of the senior squad, who brushed off the accusations with a hearty chuckle. “I signed up for this fully expecting it to be tougher than trying to assemble IKEA furniture without swearing. I mean, $4.56 million ain’t gonna fall from the sky in a feather bed, right?”
In the arena of Squid Game: The Challenge, it seems laughter is the best defense against icy winds and bitter competitors.
