Netflix’s latest reality sensation, Squid Game: The Challenge, just wrapped up its inaugural season, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats and wondering, “Will someone get that prize money already?”

Mai Whelan, a 55-year-old US Navy veteran, emerged victorious after a fierce rock, paper, scissors showdown in the grand finale. Outsmarting 455 other contestants, Mai snagged the mind-boggling $4.56 million jackpot. But, hold on to your squid hats – she hasn’t seen a dime of it yet!

In an interview that left us questioning the financial stability of the streaming giant, Mai confessed, “I’m starting to feel like Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire. Show me the money, Netflix!”

Despite clinching victory back in February, Mai remains prize-moneyless even after a staggering 10 months. It seems the payday is taking its sweet time, perhaps stuck in traffic or lost in the Upside Down.

In a bold move that would make even the most daring game show contestants blush, Mai shared her financial woes with The Sunday Times, accompanied by a metaphorical mic drop: “Show me the money!” We can almost hear the echoes of a cash register cha-chinging in the background.

While some fans are fuming like overcooked squid, insiders spill the beans that this is just business as usual in the realm of reality TV. According to a top-secret production source who probably wears a squid mask to bed, contestants knew the drill. The payment plan was as carefully orchestrated as a Squid Game deathmatch, and the winner, in this case, Mai, is supposedly on the brink of a financial windfall now that the finale has hit the airwaves.

So, fear not, Mai fans, your hero will soon be swimming in a sea of green bills. Until then, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope Netflix doesn’t decide to launch a new series titled “The Waiting Game: Where’s the Money?”
