SPOILERS ABOUND:

We are down to the final three contestants for Netflix’s “Squid Game Challenge” , which is a reality game show adaptation of 2021’s “Squid Game.” I know, I know—cringe, corporate and co-opting the message of the original series—but holy smokes, folks, it had me on the edge of my seat for 90% of the episodes so far. Thrilling, truly.

We’re down to just three contestants (listed above). Based on the post-production editing meta, I have a very strong feeling about who this will resolve to, but it’s really anyone’s game. I highly recommend you watch the series yourself or at least a brief recap before the series finale airs Wednesday, December 6, at 12AM PST.

I know I definitely wanted Bee (#018) to win, but the three we got aren’t, uh, the worst, comparatively speaking… there have been some true psychos / Dark Triads in this competition that were fortunately eliminated before the finale. 🪦

While it seems like there should be only one winner, in the event of a Black Swan, I will resolve to either the “N/A” option (no winners) or the multiple winners (in the highly unlikely case there is more than one). This is the first time Netflix is doing a show like this, and I wouldn’t put it past them to do something weird for the finale… but don’t think it’s too likely! Any “multiple winner” bets more than 1% are very likely to be bad ones.

Remember! Any comments below will contain heavy spoilers up to the end of episode 9, so be wary if you haven’t watched it yet! Let the betting begin…
