I feel bad that Mai got all the hate for nominating Ashley. Like Ashley refused to do the jump/follow the strategy until it benefited her and no one called her out. I get why no one did in the moment cause of the game but maybe after the game if someone did but they didn't show it

Also, I legit had to fast forward through half of the cookie episode… I honestly couldn’t stand the sounds. Nor all the spit and saliva visuals. It disgusted me. Even thinking about it right now. I am about to gag.

I hated the spitting sounds and the guy nearly throwing up when he lost, the only thing that keeps me sane is hoping they were inserted sound effects to make it look more dramatic

What makes me so annoyed about everyone’s videos about the Rock Paper Scizors thing is that - while technically random as a game… Mai won by having many many many chances, because she read into Phil’s pattern of what he was throwing out. And she clearly says it in the show. They both had the chance to do it, Phil claims it’s random… But your pattern is never really properly random in it, and Mai says she liked to play it as a kid and knew to read the patterns. She won because if she kept winning the most of the game, she would eventually find the right key.

Yeah I thought it was cool when she said “an adult man picks rock or scissors because they symbolize power”

Ashley was stupid because the plan was supposed to benefit low numbers like her, and yet she fought and bitched and whined about it even though at the end of the day when she was the first person up, she went with the plan because one 50/50 chance is better than her taking 10. She has the foresight of a goldfish. There was a reason why the LOWER NUMBERS came up with the plan. If she had a higher, safer number I would totally understand her annoyance, as it that case it would require having to compromise her safe position for the team. She also had the audacity to call Marina (another very low number) 'dumb' for taking her turn when in reality, without the plan she would have ended up stepping on a lot more tiles anyways. A 50% chance is better than like a 6.25% or worse. Just sucks that she happened to lose it.

I thought she was calling someone dumb for jumping twice, I think she jumped, 301 overtook, then she overtook him, but honestly the whole challenge was confusing to me because everyone made such questionable plays. I would respect what Ashley did more if she just said “I’m not gonna participate in the challenge at all, what are you gonna do about it” but it’s way more frustrating because she and everyone else said Ashley jumps

Only number 4 overtook Trey. Ashley never overtook, she only went when Trey made the wrong choice. I can’t stand Ashley, Trey took his chance and she refused to overtake and he could’ve been on longer and had a better chance at winning if she had went with the plan. She’s selfish. She took her chance and then expected everyone to pass her, she should’ve kept going till the end considering she “didn’t agree to the plan.” if i was behind her, i’d tell her to keep going.

15:15 fun fact, they actually wanted to play rock paper scissors but the staff came up to them and told them they are not allowed to do so because that game does not include marbles 😃 could still play a game of chance though -

I read about that a couple days ago and thought that was so interesting! I guess they really wanted to save Rock Paper Scissors haha

Thanks! I was hoping people could watch this video, especially friends who said “the show defeats the purpose of squid game, so I don’t really wanna support it”

Thank you, I’ll make note of that, and sorry about that, I need to find a good balance of it moving forward

I love that Mai betrayed the stupid "female alliance". What does sex have to do with who deserves to win? It's the same reason I didn't like the deaf girl using that as an excuse. How well you do is dependent on strategy and luck.

@ClubPuguin 6 ай бұрын

Well they used that to make an alliance and get themselves all to the next round so it worked for that at least

@ClubPuguin 6 ай бұрын

Since there were less women but there was some strategy to it and I only heard that they felt underestimated not that they deserve to win.

@Colby2D 6 ай бұрын

Honestly I think the deaf girl just said that so the guy would stop awkwardly trying to get her to forfeit so I can’t blame her too much for that situation although it was a bit cringy and awkward
