Civil rights investigator really?

[karthikkumaravel-52567 · 1/10 · 30 November 2023]

Like i said 278 is such a selfish person. Terry took 3 risks and failed but 278 doesn't want to move. That's pure betrayal. Also misuse of the privileges. After terry is gone she asks for team play suddenly. Such a shameless selfish person.

These kind of people takes everything in the name of rights and reservation but doesn't give back anything to the community. Be it their own community or other communities.

On top of all she is a civil rights investigator. How would anyone expect she would give an honest investigation and judgement. Too bad for the country.

The next game is also interesting. 018 is such a fool. 287 gives a slipper shot to 278. But still 278 is lucky. If 278 wins im gonna file a case on the show lol. I don't know where this game is leading. Some unknown, uninterested, non-strategic person is going to win this game i believe. Just another reality show.

278 is worse than people think

It was one thing for 278 to chicken out on the deal they all agreed to so that Trey had to make 3 jumps but much worse when in the next game she got indignant when Mai singled her out.

In the dice game 278 acted like it was a shock that someone would go against the plan and that she had been completely wronged by Mai.

Even some of the other contestants acted like Mai was the untrustworthy one after that. How short of memories do they have?

Interestingly, nobody else from the group moved up past 278 when she just stopped and refused to go past Trey. Perhaps that is why they all chose to quickly forget her actions and actually cheered when she landed on a solid panel.

When Trey decided to keep moving he really should have called out 278 and the group with a simple "Really? We aren't doing the agreement anymore? 278 isn't moving up? Nobody else is moving forward?" And Mai should have spoke out against the agreement on the dice rolling before it started with a simple "We had a agreement last time and 278 broke it when it was her turn. How can we trust her now?"

What am I watching?!

I enjoyed watching this show until this episode. I had to watch 278 being SO selfish and throwing another person (my fav person!!!) under the bus when they all agreed on ALL taking at least one choice. She was just annoying and i couldn't help but feel anger throughout this entire episode. Just pure awful. The only thing that made me feel better was knowing that probably after this game everyone would team up against her. I WAS WRONG AGAIN! At the dice game everyone except for Mai nominated themselves instead of nominating HER for behaving this way. Is this really Squid Game?! Nah, just a bunch of stupid players who have no idea what the h*ll they're doing. Great until THIS episode!!!

This episode ruined the show for me

[Gomj4 · 1/10 · 10 March 2024]

Absolute madness. Throughly enjoyed the show until this episode.

I mean come on, 278 straight up throws Trey, who's such a wholesome guy, under the bus. Then makes one correct choice and insists they go back to the original plan.

I understand all this. Sure, it's a dick move, but it is what it is. But what I absolutely do not understand is how are all the other players aside from Mai react to this, or should I say don't react.

First they cheer when she makes the correct decision, agree to go back to the original plan, then wonder why Mai wanted to eliminate her in the die game. Do they have the collective memory of a goldfish?!? Absolutely infuriating and could not watch past this episode.

No strategy in this game! Pure chance for most players.

[LiTu07 · 3/10 · 1 December 2023]

278 gets all my admiration! She was one of the few who tried to play with a strategy!

At the bridge game, it makes sense for the players with small numbers to convince other players to play the 50/50 chance strategy. For the rest of the players, however, it doesn't make any sense to agree!

Same for the die game. They should have tried to have an alliance instead of counting on luck (2 people passing the die between themselves and targeting other people would have worked).

Boring and annoying! If you wanted random chances you should have asked for a random pick of a winner in episode 1 and done. If you're playing the game, play for real! You're playing for 4 mil dollars! Any strategy that complies with the rules it's fair play and it shows more respect to the game and to the audience than a random pick.
