And I shall be watching for the twitter reactions to you.
They stole my idea.
Is it like the fictional version and if so can we put the Love Island contestants in it?
Oh this would be fun
So basically they turned a TV show based on the concept of reality TV into an actual reality TV show? Mind = blown.
Started on Netflix today.
Watching first episode now - done a very good job with the sets.
Reviews have been mixed apparently. I’ll watch because I loved the original show… then rewatch the original to remember how good it was.
(Mods, feel free to move if want to.)

Never watched squid game.
Recommend.. clever idea (kids game with an adult twist), with some unexpected bits and character stories.
Only downside for some (not me) is subtitles but I’ve watched lots of Korean (and other country’s) shows and films.
Only 15 minutes in and already I'm getting annoyed by how overly dramatized it is.
There is something ironic about a TV show depicting the horrors of capitalism through a death game and then re-creating said "death" game in real life to further milk the concept. It kind of reminds me of how they tried to turn Josef Fritzl's home and dungeon into a museum. Once you've crossed that line you might as well turn into an escape room.
Was a bit crap wasn’t it?
That girl giving up cause she couldn't hold a standing squat for 30 seconds is pathetic
I’m guessing they took ages to actually work out who was moving and it was way longer than shown
Watching it, but it's way too dramatized. Proper reality TV stuff, and I'm not a fan of those kind of shows
Didn't a YouTuber do this already?
Just glad that a certain participant didn't make it to the end. Absolute dickhead who I thought the producers would somehow manufacture their way to the final due to it being good TV.
On that note, I loved the tug of war swerve!

432?
So they turned it into a comedy. I just wish they had a watchalong with the korean audience, would love to see their reactions to the americans fecking around and complaining all the time.
Yeah didn't want to say in case people got arsey about spoilers
I'd love it if 018 wins. The swagger in that warship game was absolute class
First one eliminated by that redneck and the girl made me laugh. YSB
299
why the feck did that girl vote out the old guy?? What a shite thing to do
feck that girl
299
If it was me, I'd have selected the one 432 selected. He seemed overly ambitious, so, he might have ended up compromising
299 in the cookie challenge.
Enjoying this a lot. The feckery is great.
Wounding but guessing she wanted to obliterate the Gganbu Gang
I’ve enjoyed this actually. Thought it had potential to be crap from the first 15-20 minutes but it finds its groove. I do enjoy this concept and the fact that one person is guaranteed to feel like a God when they’re the last one standing.
Once the relationships start forming the feckery just reaches new heights and it is a good watch even if it is technically reality TV. That girl eliminating the old guy though man. Ouch.
They really should’ve seen the picnic thing coming. They knew they’d have to be paired eventually and fecking He-Man being on his own should’ve been the giveaway

He-man
What happens to him in it now? I can't remember if that happened in the show.
In the show the player without a partner went into the next round without having to play.
I'd have been studying the show if I was going in to this one. Wonder if some clocked on but they didn't show it so it was a surprise to the viewers that didn't. I enjoyed the surprise having forgot about it.
]I thought the old man would be a plant that mimicked 001 from the show. Didn’t turn out great….
Confirmed that they were waiting for up to 30 minutes between each ‘round’ of it now. Because apparently a couple of the contestants are suing them about it, after being forced to stand still for so long in uncomfortable positions.
How about they shut the feck up. Such entitlement. You went on a show you accept whatever happens.

What's interesting is that people are weirder than characters put in movies that people consider unrealistic!Cry baby puke man

Put that guy in a film, and people would be like: 'c'mon...
' but there he is; weird to the core and more naive than anything you'd see as a plot device in a film.I wasn't a huge fan in the first 15 minutes but it really picked up after that. Loved the selection criteria for the cookie game.
just seen this bit
obviously don't know how it ends up but that can't have been a smart move making literally everyone hate you surely
