There’s some serious drama brewing between season one Squid Game: The Challenge winner, Mai Whelan<\/a> and the current season two cast, after she claimed the Mingle riot was actually scripted.<\/p>\n

During the Mingle game in episode four, contestants were forced to scramble across a spinning platform featuring coloured doors.<\/p>\n

When the platform came to a halt a number was announced and that number of contestants would have to try and fit into one room.<\/p>\n

Anyone who couldn’t fit into the room or if there weren’t the correct number of people in a group would be eliminated.<\/p>\n

However, this challenge quickly came undone after the players decided to revolt, and refused to continue playing and instead held hands and stood still.<\/p>\n

This caused the Front Man to give them boxes containing marbles, which forced them into an unexpected one on one battle.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Reality Alert podcast<\/a>, previous Squid Game: The Challenge winner Mai Whelan admitted that she thought the moment was heavily scripted, and called it out for being “lame.”<\/p>\n
