The three players with the most votes
will be eliminated immediately,
- Oh my God, man, - I hate this so much,
- I don't wanna do that, - Gotta talk to everybody,
- Is there anyone that wants to go? - Three is way too many,
- I cannot possibly, - Wow,
The first of the two dormitory elimination tests
will take place in 30 minutes,
Oh my God!
Popularity contest,
- Dude, - Oh my God,
- Oh, Jesus, - I don't like this,
People have now realized that just getting through the games isn't enough,
This is the first time that our characters
might really be brought into scrutiny,
Oh my God,
And everyone is panicking, These dorm tests force people
to make decisions they wouldn't naturally make,
and we don't have much time,
We gotta talk about it, everybody, And we all gotta talk,
Yeah, we have,,, we have to talk about it,
Hey, do you guys all wanna have a group discussion about this?
- Let's get together, - Group discussion,
Come on, everyone in,
I know we all want to be here, but it's really deciding,,,
We all wanna be here 100%, right?
But a part of the game now is three of us has to go,
And we have to find some equitable way to do that,
We could just find a very easy either game or resolution
where we all agree
that three people could become eliminated
after we play this game,,,
- Nah, - ,,,that everybody agrees on,
- No? - No,
I like the chaos of their game,
Nobody wants to vote another person out,
We are the vibration of love,
I'm a keynote physician and a minimally invasive surgeon,
so usually I play a team-leader role,
Every time we feel triggered, if we have techniques,
we could start to center ourself and ask ourselves to choose,
Are we coming from a place of fear,
or are we coming from a place of love?
Based on what I've heard so far, collecting everything,
I think it is best if there's a three-person tie
and we all agree who those three people are,
- No, - No way,
- That's not gonna happen, - No, not with it,
'Cause we're already playing games, No,
330 is arrogant, Um, just,,, just not really, just, grounded,
Um, he's very entitled, and he has an ego,
In this game, there's no room for arrogance,
You guys mind if I say something about that?
So I think, like, if anyone wants to leave,
of course, that is kind of on the verge of it,
remember that, like, there are people here who do want to stay,
I think for fairness, though, because we're in a big group right now,
not everyone is always comfortable sharing their opinions this way,
Like, look, give us some time, and then we'll figure it out,
Convened,
Places like this,
when there's gonna be alliances,
and everybody wants to look for the leaders of these alliances,
um, my nature is to keep a low profile,
I've made most of my friends here,
My alliances have been made, You know you got to have that alliance,
'Cause you might need other people to help you,
Who,,, Who are we doing?
We're not wasting our votes on Doc, are we?
I don't hang around with doctors like that,
They take control of things,
I,,, I have very few doctor friends 'cause a whole lot of them are like that,
- Yeah, - Um, I do not associate with doctors,
There's several people out there that do have followers,
And by removing them, the followers will scramble,
and this might help the gganbu gang somehow get to the end,
Listen, as long as we're all solid, I think we'll be okay,
I think we all need to stick because if we spread our votes out,
one of us could get mistakenly picked off by one vote,
No, I,,, I am,,, I'm 100% with that,
And I,,, I think it needs to be leaders,
- I'm gonna go for, uh, TJ, - Are you? Okay,
- Great, - Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
After yesterday, I'm just on edge with everything,
- Really? - Yeah, Like, I've had the fun,
I'm, like,,, I don't need to be in for the long haul necessarily,
I think everybody have a sense of paranoia,
- Oh, really? - Yeah,
- There's a lot of numbers flying around? - Mm-hmm,
Hopefully not mine,
- No, - Okay, thank you,
No,
286, my friend Chad, we have bonded,
This game is all about being ready, mentally, physically,
and we connect, and,,, and, uh, that's very important to me,
All right, so let's talk, Um, what's the strategy?
We have to eliminate people and protect people,
Yeah, but we,,, we gonna stick together,
But you know, TJ, here's the thing, We need to understand our solid group,
- We have a solid group, - Jesse and Sid is part of this group,
- Solid, solid, solid, - Jesse is solid,
So I know who I want to eliminate,
I just don't wanna be the first person right now to make that decision
because if my team are not behind me,
I'm definitely gonna have a target on my back,
People might be being strategic,
I think so,
I've heard many numbers,
One of the biggest ones I've heard is Dr, V,
Doc, "the doc," they call him as well,
I feel that, 'cause he's quite a big character
in,,, in terms of well-liked, well-known,
Clearly a ve,,, very intelligent man, people might think he's gonna be a threat,
He's a target for that, Um, apparently 374 was like,
"I'm ready to go home,"
Oh!
Apparently 374 is the person saying, like, "I don't wanna be here anymore,"
- That was 374? - Yeah,
Who is that?
- He was sitting over there in the corner, - Okay,
I have a theory,
We need to vote together,
- Mm-hmm, - You can't be voting a random bitch,
People are gonna be voting in groups, and it puts everybody at risk,
- But do you think you're at risk? - And if,,,
Do you think you're at risk?
This is a personal thing, You go do what you feel in your heart
you need to do,
- At this point, I'm confused, - I am confused,
There's floating numbers though, Have you guys heard the numbers
that are floating around?
I heard 374 was one of them,
- Dr, V was one of them, - Yes,
I heard TJ was one of them,
It's dangerous putting yourself in the limelight in this place,
I would probably say we decide all amongst ourselves,
and we have decided ahead of time, The game is gonna go on,
Every single day we're in it,
more and more people b,,, will be eliminated,
It's a part of the game,
What numbers are you hearing? I'm hearing 3-3-0,
Confirmation, yeah!
Boom! Let's do it,
Letting him do him is gonna bite him in his,,, his own ass,
Karma is crazy,
Yeah, Hmm! You right,
I have been told that, you know, I do come across as, um, intimidating,
Like, I have a math degree, I have a master's degree,
So, not only am I beautiful, but I'm also intelligent,
You know, men, they don't typically like, you know, beautiful, smart women,
They kinda like beautiful, dimbo women, but I have the entire package,
My biggest weakness is making impulsive decisions,
which means that I'm not taking my time,
I'm being impatient, and I'm not thinking thoroughly through,
I have a great mind, you know? Like, I can think through everything,
but under pressure,
you can make a mistake just like that,
Come on, everyone!
What is it?
There's enough apple slices for everyone,
We walked into the room, There was a bowl of whole apples,
- Of green apples, - Yeah,
It sounds like a real story,
"Oh, look at us, How good we are,"
"We cut all these apples for you,"
They're coming with apples, Okay, It smells fishy to me,
Like, it's not that they're coming with, you know, chocolates,
So I'm wary of these apples,
We just wondered if you guys wanted something, a treat?
I'm not that excited about apple,
I think I'm gonna pass, Thank you,
Thank you for the kindness, but I don't want that,
We're just here to bring apples to everyone,
161, I found him to be impolite,
Possibly rude,
- Thank you, - You're welcome,
Okay, I'm done with the story about apples,
I will naturally not go out of my way to make friends
'cause I,,, I don't really care about that,
and I know if there's that energy in the room,
they would just come to me, and they would be loyal friends,
and I'm sure of that,
Um, so, no, actually, I cannot stand people pleasers
and go around, be like, "Hi, how are you?" Discussing things you do not care about,
We don't have a connection, don't have to hang around with each other,
We're just there for the circumstances, I will not be doing that,
Even for the game, I just can't stand it, I'm allergic to it,
Like, no, It feels fake,
It needs to feel genuine, so that, I will keep it that way,
Yeah, I guess, Game recognize game,
Attention, players,
The vote is about to begin,
Players, please form an orderly line in front of the keypad,
You all ready?
Lead the charge,
Okay, Do you wanna be first?
I don't,,, I mean, I don't care to go first,
You got this,
You will each have to choose a player to eliminate,
You will all vote,
and the three players with the most votes will be eliminated,
I am shaking, Like, even though I haven't been out making enemies,
I haven't been in mess, I haven't been in drama,
I just know that everyone is on edge right now,
So anyone can take any little bitty thing and hold a grudge against something,
and then, boom, you're up for elimination,
Players, when instructed,
please approach the keypad
and key in the number of the player you vote to eliminate,
I can't believe it,
Am I worried? No,
I mean, I don't really have any beef with anyone,
I know I'm safe 'cause there's a lot of people that people don't like,
The first time a player receives a vote,
their picture will appear on the screen,
Damn it,
Ooh, this is crazy,
The thing about this
is if you're the first person to vote somebody new,
you literally expose your vote,
and that is a huge disadvantage in this game,
You are guaranteeing somebody is gonna be coming for you,
Oh my God,
Once I see my face go up on that board with the first vote,
I know I'm toast,
One of my strategies has been to project weakness in some situations,
So, you know, I'm going around,
I'm telling people that I'm a little unhappy,
I kind of wanna go home in some ways,
So I think some people think I might wanna leave,
- That's not cool, - Damn,
That's so savage,
Wow,
First person voted for is 374,
and, like, that's a good enough reason to vote someone out at this point,
Nobody wants to be the first person to put up a new name and a new face,
I don't think that's gonna make a lot of people happy,
It's not really hiding when you're second because everyone knows
who you voted for,
but I'm thinking about who has been rude to me,
and I,,, I thought that was a good way to go about it,
Damn,
- Oh my God, Oh my God, - I was not expecting that, Wow,
Why is she picking me?
There's snakes everywhere in Squid Game,
You cannot trust anyone, I'm telling you,
Every little decision matters
and I'm not going to be afraid
to make a difficult choice if I have to,
I'm really impressed with player 302
because we're both independent, strong women,
and us women need to stick together,
I can't wait for my turn, Mm-mmm, They're not ready for this,
People are scared to put another person's face up there
because then you gonna be a target,
I see 161, and I see 374,
so we know that going into this, we have to eliminate three people,
and I am getting ready to put the next player up there on the board,
So I'm about to have a target on me
because I'm about to put the third player up there,
Damn, she,,, she did it, She did it,
Yes, I am serious,
Dead serious,
I'm standing here voting for 330
because my team decided to vote for 330,
And so we wanna try our best to stick together,
When we have opps out there, we wanna protect each other,
and be there for each other, and be loyal to each other,
179, She's standing by her words,
She's not afraid,
and,,, and everybody's just, "Whoa,"
This is a strong woman,
I think it might be about to get interesting,
Oh, it might be,
Good-looking guys up there,
Think we need a woman,
It is what it is,
Absolutely,
Surprise,
Oh my God, It's me,
- Who would've thought? - Who would've thought?
Given what happened, I just chose the same person that chose me,
I'm trying to give myself a fighting chance,
I'm not going out without a fight,
If I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna go out with a bang,
I don't remember if it's "3-0-2" or "302," I just wanted to make sure,
It's the same,
- I think I got it now, - Either one, Okay,
I didn't like you from the beginning,
Haters gonna hate, but karma will bite them if they hate me,
It is so obvious that 179 is the ringleader
of that core four alliance,
and a lot of the faces up on that board are just simply not threats,
So I'm really hoping that people are smart and type in 179,
Players, the voting is complete,
The three players with the most votes
will be eliminated immediately,
I'm here for the money,
I got no loyalties, My loyalty is with the piggy,
The first player eliminated is,,,
,,,player 374,
Mmm, Gone,
Finished,
Brutal,
The next player eliminated is,,,
player three,,,
thirty,
We'll see you, man,
Mm-hmm,
Whoo! 3-3-0 has left the building,
I'm excited because I was the one who was ballsy enough
to put him up there on the screen,
It was nothing personal, It was a group decision,
But I still feel like I have a target on my back,
The final player to be eliminated is,,,
,,,player 161,
I think people are definitely sheep,
I got out today because I was on the board,
Because she called me, Otherwise, no one would've done that,
and I would've been still in the game,
I don't blame them,
I blame her,
Rose is upset,
Yeah,
There are 70 players remaining,
and the total prize fund is $3,86 million,
The first time no one clapped,
That's been one of the hardest decisions for me now, Like,,,
- It feels icky, It feels icky, - Yeah,
Attention, players, Lights out will be in 30 minutes,
The second dormitory elimination test will take place tomorrow morning,
I mean, the only reason I voted for 1-6-1
was I had just seen him be a little rude sometimes, and,,,
I don't think he ever had anything positive to say,
- But it's a game, - It's a game,
- I mean, all you can do is play the game, - Exactly,
Well, I think I have some enemies now,
I was an editor at the New York Times,
and I worked in a lot of departments,
I was hired to work in sports because that was my background,
I always had a ball in my hand, I never had dolls,
I,,, I didn't see the point of dolls, uh, so I played sports,
My mom was an athlete,
My mom was a really great athlete,
um, for her time,
and I played several sports in high school and younger,
but I ended up going to college, I went to Kansas State University,
where I was the first woman to receive
a full-ride basketball scholarship there,
- Were you scared for me? - I'm glad you survived, girl, I was,
Aw!
- So I voted for that other dude 'cause,,, - You did?
- Thank you, - Nah, it's okay, girl,
- I'm glad to see you still here, - Thank you, boo,
Like, he's so sweet,
I do feel like people's true colors are starting to come out,
I really just need my alliance around me,
you know, 176, 182, and 183,
to reassure me that I'm wanted in this space,
Who you vote for? Who you vote for? You vote for me?
No, I was really nervous, and I was trying to help save you and 302,
I'm glad you knew it was a team effort too, Okay,
No, no, exactly, So, I put my vote on the one who went home first,
'Cause I coulda swore I saw a 179 being put in, I see it,
From me?
- I'm just playing, Dash, - Girl, don't play with me,
I didn't want anyone seeing 'cause I was like, "Doot-doo-doo,"
No, absolutely not, I would not do that to you,
I voted for Chaney,
but I'm totally lying to these people and,,, and saying that I didn't,
because she's clearly the leader of an alliance,
So, during the next game, I feel like they may come for me,
and I know it's not just me who is feeling very vulnerable,
A lot of people say they'd get a tattoo,
- Oh, I am, - That's awesome, Yeah?
I'm getting the calling card with the circle, triangle, square,
- You're getting it? Really? - The card with the color and with 232,
And then, um, I might even add the gganbu gang to it,
- Really? Wow, - Uh-huh,
I might get a collage with that,
- Look at you, - That'd be sick,
People are quite surprised that I have, um,
some rather large tattoos,
Um, I have one that encompasses
my whole right lower leg up to my thigh,
It's the story of my life, It's a tribute to my family,
Um,,,
Most people think doctors, older doctors,
don't do those kind of things,
I mean, my hobbies are too numerous to count,
And, uh, one of them is growing orchids,
and I have a large life-size orchid flower
on my leg for every grandchild with their initials in it,
Eighteen, And I hope to put a few more, although there's no more room,
- Good night, everybody, - Good night,
Good night,
What a day, man, What a messy, messy day,
Attention, all players, This is your wake-up call,
Whoo! Let's go!
The second test will commence shortly,
- How do you feel? - Last night was,,, was hard,
I'm grateful to still be here to see another day,
to still be in this competition and give it my all,
Even just the thought of being eliminated
is a real wake-up call for me,
I need to keep, like, as many people on my side as I can,
It's, like, don't make enemies,
I'm feeling so fired up and ready to slay this competition,
Mm-hmm,
It looks super naive, but I've had the same game plan from the start,
literally to do what feels right at the time,
- Authenticity is the best strategy, - You get,,, Yeah, Oh yes,
We are all finding person-to-person elimination
harder than a game,
and everyone is forming teams and alliances and stuff,
Everyone who's in alliances are seeking extreme reassurance,
and everyone's trying to decide who the next people are they might go for
so that they can feel safe,
What are you guys feeling about,,, about what's coming up?
I think this is when they're gonna start putting teams up against teams,
I think if we can stick together, we'll be better off,
There'll be a time to split up, but for now, we stick together,
- Gganbu gang! - Shh,
Easy though, Go ahead, Lexie, you do the one, two, three,
- One, two, three, - Gganbu gang,
- Hey, - All right,
All right,
Everybody here is a threat,
- If you made it to this point,,, - Right? Yep,
- Everybody's a threat, you're right, - ,,,everybody's a threat,
Y-You know I got your back, So, whatever you need, just let me know,
- Thank you, - Um,,,
- And I'd do the same, - Yeah,
I just feel like emotions are just really, really high in here, man,
It's insane,
Okay, guys, so this is the thing, This is the thing,
There's a four-person alliance
between Chaney, Darius, Coach, and Jesse,
And there's a lot of people that follow them,
We all just needed to vote for Chaney, That's what I did,
I'm lying about my vote though,
I voted Chaney because she is the leader of that alliance,
I don't know what you want me to say, You need to be careful in this place,
- Yes, - Oh, I know,
Be careful because you do not want to have a target on you,
All right, wanna see some 360 spins, Mc,,, McTwist?
- Double-quadruple-cheeseburger flips? - Yeah, I do,
I haven't done this for a while, It might hurt, Ready?
- Whoa! - There,
Did I do it now?
- I'm not gonna lie to you, - Mm-hmm?
Dash,
Hi, How are you?
He was just talking about you guys', um, alliance, like,,,
L-Let me have a seat, honey, 'cause I gotta hear this one,
He,,, He,,, He basically just said that he voted for Chaney,
What?!
He was basically saying that would've been our best strategy,
I can't believe that,
I feel like is, uh,,, It's gonna be arm's length for me,
I feel like my,,, my trust for him has just gone,,,
Prize, baby!
Ooh, woulda got me riled up, girl, That got me riled up,
Wow, You know, I thought he was our friend,
So I'm actually going to have to tell 179,
Player 141, it's starting to get a little messy,
We gotta keep an eye out for him,
Girl, Chaney! You won't believe this,
I'm kind of deaf so I got to sit right here,
Okay, I'm listening,
So, guess who's going around saying
that choosing you would've been more strategical?
- Who? - Dash,
- Wow, Wow, - Ooh,
- Mm-mmm, - That's terrible,
I'm not surprised, I really feel like he put my number in up there,
Absolutely,
Dash is out of control,
We need to start creating allyship,
We'll protect you,
There you go, that's a fair throw, Nice!
Oh! Okay, Okay!
Look, All of them,,,
243,
That was the leader,
- The ringleader? - Hell yeah,
Mmm,
I am a watcher,
Seeing all these male-dominant alliances form
rubs me the wrong way, Um,,,
Being married to a woman, a strong woman,
we deal with this every day,
When I,,, When I see this here, it just really just,,,
It pisses me off, Um, this is not what we're here for,
Attention, players,
Player 232,
please proceed to the chore room with a player of your choice,
Stephen, let's go,
- Go ahead, Stephen, - Let's get it,
- Have fun, - Yes, sir, Wait for me, old man,
There was no stability in my household,
no direction,
I come from a big family,
Uh, nine kids, I'm,,, I'm one of nine,
And my parents started having kids at an early age,
I'm talking way too early to be having kids,
And we've been homeless, We've been living in cars,
We've been ho,,, house and couch-hopping as a bunch of kids, man,
And we never had,,, We didn't ev,,, We weren't even able to eat every night,
So I'm not very close with my parents, not even my mom,
which I mean, I was a,,, my mama's boy growing up,
So yeah, I,,, I,,, I still talk to my mom,
It's not like we're not acclimated,
but the dad, my dad, pretty much out of the picture, He sucks,
Oh, look at what we have here,
Ddakji,
Go for it,
You,,, You know how to flip those?
No,
- Flipped, - Oh, you have to hit it?
Your turn,
Got to hit it,
- So I just smack it on top of it? - Yeah,
- And I missed, - Sometimes it's not always,,, strength,
It's more like, maybe, like that,
Oh, wow,
I try to put my foot there,
- Like that, - Look at you,
Oh, that was easy,
Easy,,, Easy throw,
Little corner,
Try,,, Try again,
- Like this? - Yeah,
- There it went, - There you go,
You are something else, Gramps,
- Whoa, - Wow,
Got it,
This is pretty freaking easy,
And then I don't get it,
Attention, players,
Player 243,,,
you have lost Ddakji,
Damn, what the hell is going on?
We're good, man,
The cards,
I thought we were just playing a game,
It's kind of my fault,
Um, I'm not worried about myself,
I'm worried about Steve,
I'm thinking, "243, the time is up,"
What the heck is that?
It's a candy bar,
- It's a what? - A candy bar,
Oh, my,
- You are something else, Gramps, - Just call me the old man,
- I call my dad old man, - Oh, Well,,,
But I like it,
I can't bring another kid home, My wife would kill me,
Definitely!
I thought,,,
I,,, I feel relieved that Steve was coming back with me,
I'm insane, Oh, Steve,
Holy cow,
That was scary,
Thank goodness I wasn't responsible for his elimination,
That's crazy,
Just low-key, Low-key,
Yeah,
What did we do? What did we do? We did some dishes,
Breathe,
Oh, look at that, No one's in here,
Ew, Nasty showers,
- The other way, Nice! - One, two, three, four,
Clap!
I miss my son,
I just had a dream about him too, like,,,
What would your boyfriend say right now?
Come home,
I just miss my daughter, you know?
I just hope that she's not, like,,, My daughter's not thinking,
like, "Where's Mommy?" Like, I hope she's just, like, calm,
I know I thought about it,
I was like, "I wonder if my kid, like, asking for me,"
Then you feel guilty for signing up for this shit and leaving your own kid,
I'm doing it for her, I think they're rooting for us, I think,,,
I think they are,
So, we tried having kids, um,,,
with IUI, which is intrauterine insemination,
Wasn't,,, We weren't successful many times,
um, at least five,
And, um,,,
We were actually on the brink of getting a divorce,,,
,,,because it was really hard
on both of us,
Um, and, um,,,
So we took a break on just trying and focusing on us,
Getting back to loving one another and en,,, enjoying one another, and,,,
,,,we got to another point in our life where we were ready,
And, um,,,
Yeah, we were blessed with a baby girl,
and she looks nothing like me
and a lot like my wife,
and it was my egg, and it just works out so perfectly,
What the hell?
I told you, I told you,
- I told you, guys, - Oh, no!
- Oh! - Ah,
Uh-uh,
What is that?
What in the heck is this?
I,,, I'm scared of being in the front honestly,
Why?
Bad things happen to the people in the front,
- At least we'll go down together, - No, I'm not going down,
What the hell is this?
Oh my God, I'm terrified,
Attention, players,
This is the second dormitory elimination test,
Five volunteers are required,
Do you wanna go?
Before today, I've been like a silent prowler, I guess,
but now it's time, The,,,
The numbers are starting to get lower, I need to start stepping up,
- Should I volunteer? - Hmm?
- Should I volunteer? - It's dangerous,
Should I volunteer?
There's no way I'm gonna volunteer,
I don't want anything to do with it,
I'm not trying to have the,,, the possibility of getting eliminated,
Hell no, No, they can take it,
Mmm,
All right, I'll be one,
Someone has to do it, Hopefully, this kind of gives me the chance to,,,
to do some justice and get a good positive thing
out of this situation,
We got one volunteer,
Clearly, people can get eliminated,
But I'm gonna do it, I'm just gonna take a leap,
Should I volunteer?
Hmm?
- Yo, yo, - I'm gonna do it,
We got three? Four?
- Four, five, - Five,
What'd I do?
My stomach is in my ass,
- What do you think that means? - It's a jack-in-the-box,
Oh, my God,
There's gonna be one that has, like, an elimination or something, like, bad,
Oh!
The five players
who have volunteered to take part in the test,
please choose a box to stand behind from the six available,
Oh, I feel sick,
- Money, all day, - Hope so,
Don't overthink it, feel it,
It's a good box, It's a good box,
The six boxes in front of you contain a surprise,
- I have a bad feeling about this, - I have a bad feeling too,
Your box will contain either the power
to eliminate other players,,,
,,,an advantage in the next game,,,
or,,,
your immediate elimination,
