Thanks for the info,, curious, when was this filmed?Tobias Funke said:BenFiasco14 said:Tobias Funke said:
Haven't watched this yet, but I had several rounds of interviews to be on the show (as well as a physical and psych eval), alerted my company I would need the time off, and had my bags packed. They went a different direction last minute.
I'm guessing they found your texags handle?
Haha I do wonder about that.
The process was basically:
1) A guy I know works for the studio casting team and mentioned that I should apply
2) I filled out a very lengthy application online ( including a self recorded video) and then had an interview with him and his casting director over Zoom
3) a couple weeks later I was told I was moving to the next step and then had a video call with someone higher up in casting
4) I then waited a long time and then got a call out of the blue from Netflix giving me info on next steps (basically are you still available the dates of filming? and if so, we are emailing you everything you need)
5) then things started getting very tedious and fast paced. I had about a week to schedule a physical and a long discussion with a Netflix psychologist. They also had me turn over all my social media info and answer more in depth questions. The psychologist told me if I was at this point that I could assume I was going.
Then they went radio silent and the day before I was supposed to be leaving I still had heard nothing. Even the casting guy I know thought that was odd so he said I should call them. I called and all they said was "we decided to not move forward with you".
So who knows! It was a bummer.

No. They made it sound like I did at first, which scared the S out of me, but turns out you just have to let them know about any social media account you've ever been associated with, and set them all to public.
They contract with what's basically a Social Media detective company, and if you leave anything out, they will find out. They even ended up asking me about a fake Facebook profile that I knew nothing about, and I had to convince them it wasn't actually me.
February 2023. There was a big uproar right after they started filming because the first week on set England had a cold spell. Apparently during the Red Light Green Light scene, the contestants were in a freezing warehouse without any warm clothes for hours at a time. A lot of people went to the hospital or dropped out because of the cold (according to some articles that came out)07ag said:Thanks for the info,, curious, when was this filmed?Tobias Funke said:BenFiasco14 said:Tobias Funke said:

The final episode comes out at 8.
The winner is Mai.
Any thoughts on the final episode?
When it came time for the three buttons challenge, I knew Sam was going out. As someone pointed out earlier, he'd managed to always avoid ever making a decision or putting himself at risk. You knew it was going to backfire on him this time, primarily because you also knew the final two wasn't going to be two men. This is Netflix, that wasn't going to happen. Although with a gay man, hippie scuba instructor, and 55 year old Asian immigrant, I think Netflix hit the representation quote they wanted.lethalninja said:

I like how in episode 9 the blonde chicks woman agenda ended up biting her in the ass

After taxes, the winner ended up getting a little over $2.87 million.
To me it seemed obvious they were pulling the strings behind the scenes when it came to the tests.
They could make the buttons whatever color they needed for the outcome they wanted.

Did anyone else think it was hilarious that the big reveal of the prize in the safe was just a gift card that said "Infinite" on it
It would be funny if the winner of the final challenge was deciding by flipping a coin, cause that would be really anticlimactic.
After all that build up of filling the piggy bank with cash (which was unrealistic as hell if you actually counted the bundles, one stack equals $10k, and they were dropping more than one stack per person), to just hand them a card was the ultimate letdown.boy09 said:

Yeah, plus the fact that the card was a very obvious prop, as was the account balance on the ATM. Would've been good to see what Mai's life was actually like after the win, even if just for a few seconds, rather than that very obvious shot of a fake ATM balance.
To me the whole final episode felt incredibly anticlimactic.

Felt like the producers were picking winners on several games. Maybe they weren't, because I assume they could get in trouble for advertising something as a game of chance when it's really not. But if they aren't gaming it, then they need to change the games next season to where it doesn't come off as something they could game.
I think this game show has potential if they can get a cast that is not miserable to watch and that are more strategic and more cut throat. I assume the cast will get much better by next season and thereafter (like how the survivor contestants are light years ahead of the early year contestants). So if they come up with some better games, then it has potential.
I was also dumbfounded at why everyone was made at Maia for nominating the girl who did not go past the guy in the bridge. I don't see how that can be an editing issue. How could they possibly edit something that bad to where it makes no sense at all? How was no one else mad at her for screwing over the guy in front of her? And it was also very dumb of her bc the people behind her could have easily declined to go in front of her, whereas she could have gone in front of the guy in front of her and guranteed that she only had to jump once. All of it made no sense at all.

Gonna get me all riled up this early in the morning. This is the most mind blowing part of the show. It is like everyone just shrugged their shoulders and brushed it off. Either it was editing or the 20 or so people had no stones to say something. I am glad Mai called her out.Quote:

It was editing. Trey has a video on IG or TT that my wife showed me. Long story short - Trey did not know the plan. Not everyone agreed to the overpassing. Ashley, after Trey was eliminated, did take her 50/50 jump. Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0cEa0Yudkb/?hl=enn_touch said:Gonna get me all riled up this early in the morning.

With that said. If she had overpassed. Trey would have survived the bridge. I think that is what people are angry about because he was the most "normal" guy in the show and because of production we had bonded with his story.
I have seen the same thing, but it is all a smoke screen. I just watched to make sure I remembered correctly on how it went down.A is A said:It was editing.

Trey did his jump and Marina was behind him. She told him, you made your choice if you want to stay and they talked of her overtaking. She did and ended up falling. Ashley even made a comment and everyone started clapping when she did it. They are all talking about the plan. Once he moves to the next safe spot he says "he took his 50/50 chance and it was her time to step up".
It's a game and I don't fault her for what she did, I am sure a lot of us would do the same for a chance at over $4 mil. The issue I have is her acting like a team player and not overtaking, but then expecting them to do it for her after.
Also her words when someone said It's one each guys, it should be one each:
Ashley: "Im confused as hell, because I don't remember agreeing to this. I'm not sacrificing myself when I already have a low number. If it comes to me having to stand on one spot until y'all *** move past me, and that's the best thing for me, that's what I'm gonna do"
If you're the last one to take the 50/50 shot on the final glass, why wouldn't you just wait the timer out until either someone else decides to go. Or just take the leap with 5 seconds left and if you are safe you can be the only one to make it and you win? I'm sure they had a rule against it but I was hoping for more chaos and less team work.

He clearly knew the plan from that video. And Ashley clearly refused to go along with the plan until she had to when it was her turn. She was just too dumb enough to realize that not going along with the plan and not overtaking Trey did not benefit her. Whether she went along with it from the get go or went along with it after Trey, she would still only have one jump of 50/50.
Trey has a great attitude in that video and just considers it gameplay, which I agree with and think everyone would. What makes people angry is that Ashley then tried to act like she was a team player after the fact when she clearly wasn't. She screwed over Trey and would have let him keep jumping 5 times if he kept guessing correctly.
If nobody had made it across the glass bridge in time, I wonder if everyone would have been eliminated or if they would have let the people in the back that didn't have to make a decision move on to the next round.
Just thinking about how that ******* got taken out of the glass bridge in the real Squid Game is still so satisfying.
Which player would you most like to drink a beer with, and why is it Rick?
Why is that a spoiler though?
She was too stupid to recognize that what they were doing benefited her. The only people that should have been pissed about the teamwork were the later numbers, because it meant more people were going to get through. The only way her b*tchiness would have made sense was if she just straight up refused to move and everyone passed her and she reaped the rewards.
It was frustrating to watch someone be so stupid while also being such a sh*tty person.

I think this is why it bothered me so much as well. So annoying.
They have to get rid of the games and situations that the contestants didn't directly affect the outcome.
Which games are those?
Ashley was yelling at the producers because she was mad that she got number five in the glass bridge game.
The buttons, the dice, among others.lethalninja said:

They were trying to get the players to betray each other. If they would have actually picked people when they rolled the dice instead of taking turns it would have been interesting. They skirted the intention of the game by choosing themselves. The circle of trust game was fantastic though.

It's not about belief, they absolutely did influence the outcome. 432 came out and stated he broke his cookie, but was allowed through, if we are to believe him
