Squid Game: The Challenge Interview: Mai, Sam & Phill Reflect On Their Gameplay Choices 

cos she is rich as hell now

@@gabbynatsukisadly not she still hasn’t been paid 10 months later

Shooting ended in February and she still hasn't been paid.

she said taxes took half the money

@@karitakesoff hasn’t even got it yet

She was mean... good player but not a nice person.

​@@yfbnjio5364good person but in this game u cant be nice. U need to be optimistic and realistic. Mai still play fair till the end

​@c_pelukis_potret5399 everything is fair as long as you don't break the rule. But you can tell she is very deceiving and she lost all the trusts towards the end of the game. She has two faces and pretend to be nice outside. She cries after stabbing your friends. I was rooting for her in the beginning but realized she isnt different from ashley. Wouldn't want to be around person like that in real life

​@@yfbnjio5364 I think she's a nice person when not placed in this extreme situation. But yeah, she played the game, even lied cause it would make her look better. Not the person I would pick as winner but I did still like her more than Ashley. If I would choose winner I would probably choose Hallie or Sam.

Haha Mai is not nice. You are falling for it like the other players. She won because she's cunning, disloyal, yet sympathetic, and an underdog

scripted how

games like pressing buttons based on chances is easy for producers to manipulate... so who knows.@@saydee24

@@saydee24 the dinner table when they had select a button. It's electronic and could be programmable to show red, green, or no light. I don't think the show wanted Sam and Phil to go in the finals since they are buddies

@@jayturla4397 I was thinking the same thing. Someone in the control booth could control the colors but the final challenge was legit. You can't fake that.

true but before that I dont think so@@jayturla4397

Mai was deceiving and mean... no one prolly wanted her to win

​@@yfbnjio5364what you said is the reason why she deserves the win 😂 that is what this show is about, do all to win.

​@@yfbnjio5364i did want her to win. He showed determination. Hes a strong mother. What shes been through is tough

@@yfbnjio5364I wanted her to win. She wasn’t mean. She was smart.

@LucyWhiskers she lied all the time and pretended to be nice outside with crocodile tear. In the competition all other players lost trust from her

DELUSIONAL

I thought so too but only because her looks changed so much compared to the others.

@@stevelouie5928she hasn’t received the money so that didn’t affect her look at all. All the women look much more different out of the game because they actually have access to their clothes, make up, etc. The uniforms are less likely to change the men’s appearances because uniforms are masculine by nature.

No way you liked Ashley 💀

@@zandak3490when did he ever say that he liked ashley

DELUSIONAL

What about when she said she hadn't given the present to Roland? You didn't get annoyed about that lie?

@@Readysetgo2007 Nope, she was likely scared that the last challenge might be a social one and still didn’t want to appear like the type to stab someone in the back. I have no issue with lying in a game like this, unless it’s a stupid lie (like that guy who said he wanted to leave as a “strategy” 🙄).

@@user-sf9gs2pg1b I think I understand why Mai lied but I still got annoyed by it. I had more respect for Phill who told both the interviewer and the other people in the game he did try to eliminate Hallie and was successful with it. I agree that 374 was weird. I actually thought he for real wanted to go home. He should have understood that people were looking for easy targets. So why make yourself an easy target if you really want to stay? As soon as he said "ready to go home" I became sure he was gonna be voted out. :P

Nah. Stress from the game just made her 10 years older and after it, she went back to her true self.

makeup lol , I bet they coukdtn wear makeup in the show

​@@saydee24yall r litterly haters

She just got the money this week.

Same, but I’m glad that Mai won, she was the 2nd person that I was rooting for after Trey, and when Trey was eliminated, I’ve been rooting for Mai and I’m happy she won

no baby ass trey would never win.

she stood up for trey as well when ashly chose not to go!

It’s scripted

​@@biking7747how

100% fake show and I watch all reality shows. This one was not real even in all thier interviews these are not real genuine people. Actors the entire show watch it again . Fake every scene every interview is acting n not genuine reactions or words coming from them

@@biking7747it’s not.

@@TheCommandant-wb9tv it is.

Yeah, if I was Mai - I would buy him that second showerhead 😊

You guessed it right

Yup it was obvious.

I’m pretty sure you guys are a bunch of spoilers that like to come to a theater because you already saw the movie and start saying up this person is going to die this way.

So random to find you here Anfisa! Love your podcast!

You don't seem particularly happy that she won. Is there a reason? 💝

Yeah I agree

Yeah, Mai would still go after Roland but Hallie would definitely go after Trey instead of Amanda.

I’ve never been more angry at an ending

DELUSIONAL

DELUSIONAL

The tears are real. She cries doesn't mean that she acts softly. Besides the tears, she also wants the prize.

@@caophuocthua8672 Looks like she fooled you too.

she lied because they will take advantage on that

You're team Ashley?🙄

It's called Squid Game for a reason. Nothing wrong with manipulating and lying your way through.

200*

Maybe 25k

All is well in the world now lol. The universe has balanced itself

What do you mean right person? Don't all 3 of them deserves to win?

@@DunjinDragon no

DELUSIONAL

DELUSIONAL

doesnt matter , IRS taxes money 10 times before its in your pocket

Mai won they wouldn’t give the money to the two fruit cakes…..

She played the game well

@@TavsWorldReally? That’s uncalled for. Grow up.

DELUSIONAL

That’s what I was thinking, lol. Like, the other guys gave kinda joke answers, and she gave a much more serious one. It’s not the dumbest splurge, building a dock is fine.

DELUSIONAL

Bro playing rock paper scissors with the TV and wearin a tinfoil hat 😂

@@mcFronta1ot nah just thinking about what i would pick if i was there😂 dont take it too serious

@fyt1882 bruh you writin the paragraph comments lol 😆 don't think too hard

@@mcFronta1ot is it hard for you to read? Too much text for your small brain? Gtfo troll

The button game was predictable because it was rigged, not scripted. The first button pressed was always going to be gray, and the second button was always going to be red. It didn't matter which one you pressed. There was never going to be a green button, so there was never an option of choosing who you're going forward with. The first player to step up was safe, while the second to step up, whoever that would've been, was going to be eliminated. Pretty much what they did with the phone challenge too. First one to answer got a treat, while the second to answer got an impossible task and got eliminated. Yes, the first and second to answer were the same person, but it still foreshadowed the button game.

Hmmm 😅are you trying to write in English?

Why?

Like everytime they interviewed him he's like my family hates me because I'm gay and shit.. Like get over it and stop making being gay your whole identity. 😅

@@mcFronta1ot Could be Netflix's fault for only choosing those clips to share, the interviews seem to go on for a while with the amount of clips they share so he probably did talk about other things, but that's what was presented to us - in the games he hardly mentioned it to the other contestants :)

@@mcFronta1othe wasnt. He’s literally just saying he was kicked out of his families lives because he was gay. That’s the only time he would ever mention his sexuality and only mentioned it TWICE. Seems like y’all are homophobes.

Why? He is so likeable

There’s levels to trust, TJ admired Mai, with Mai, she understands trust can be finicky. It takes a lot of trust to win mai over and in the end it did.

Its impossible to win the game and not have some haters at the end

Mai looks like 218-Cho, imagine she did in Marvel game with Jada, just like Cho did with Ali

This "criticism" is getting so old. All she said was that he was an entertainer, and let's be honest he was. Entertainers are hard to trust, especially in that kind of environment, and she was smart to be skeptical. But when he proved his loyalty to her and picked her during that round, she showed him her gratitude and admitted to being wrong about him.

Game is survival of the fittest the hell you talking about being nice for
