Squid Game: The Challenge fans have been left 'sobbing' after player Trinity Parriman made a controversial decision during the season finale. The Netflix reality series, inspired by the Korean thriller, saw 456 contestants compete for a $456 million prize fund.
In the finale aired on November 19, five players remained: Player 183 (Steven), Player 398 (Trinity), Player 72 (Perla), Player 302 (Dajah), and Player 17 (Vanessa). Player 72, Perla, was ultimately crowned the winner.
However, it was Trinity's choice to sacrifice himself that sparked debate. Some fans criticised him for 'ruining the game', while others praised his selflessness. One viewer wrote on X: 'Trinity genuinely deserves the world... but I can’t help but feel sorry for everyone else that got eliminated for him to just give up his space.'
Another fan commented: 'Trinity’s elimination was beautiful but tragic. Honorable but dumb?' Despite the mixed reactions, many supported Trinity, with one saying he 'deserved some of the winnings'.
Squid Game: The Challenge is available to stream on Netflix.
