After several Squid Game: The Challenge players mysteriously vanished from the lineup, Dexerto has uncovered the truth after speaking with one of the "missing" contestants.
Squid Game: The Challenge is a massive reality show that started with 456 players, mirroring the Netflix series it's based on. With a jaw-dropping $4.56 million prize, only one player will emerge victorious in the upcoming finale.
Despite its controversies, the series has faced several challenges. While eliminated contestants do not suffer the same fate as their fictional counterparts, there have been reports of harsh conditions on set, threats of legal action, and criticism of the so-called "villains" on Squid Game: The Challenge.
Adding to the intrigue, a recent discovery on Reddit pointed out that players 277 (Sabrina) and 317 (Jordan) were listed in Netflix's official lineup for Episode 3 but not Episode 4, despite their eliminations not being shown on screen. This has sparked a mystery surrounding their fate.
“Missing” Squid Game: The Challenge player speaks out amid mystery
Dexerto interviewed Player 277, also known as Sabrina Sabir, to inquire about her absence from Netflix's official player list, despite successfully completing the Red Light, Green Light and Dalgona games.
Although there was speculation about whether the "missing" contestants were eliminated through an off-screen dorm test, the reality is that all contestants on Squid Game: The Challenge were given the choice to self-eliminate - and Sabrina chose to leave the competition.

“She found it fascinating how Netflix portrayed that in the show,” she informs us. “After completing Red Light Green Light, we spent an additional day at our hotel before moving on.”
Sabrina then describes how the other contestants spent a couple more days in the dorm before moving on to the Dalgona game, which required a full day of filming.
The experience was more challenging than what was depicted in the series. We spent what felt like two days in the dorms with nothing to do but socialize and be part of the group. It was enjoyable meeting new people, but the endless waiting, lack of sunlight, and not knowing what was happening made it a difficult time.
Sabrina understands the necessity of taking time to obtain quality content for the series and to prepare for the next game. After completing Dalgona as part of the triangle team, she felt that she had accomplished her goal. "I was already satisfied at that point, and being able to discuss the experience, I felt like, 'I've spent a week here doing the Squid Game stuff. I think I'm good.'"

During the competition, Squid Game: The Challenge provided a "fantastic welfare team," Sabrina remarked: "They provided us with abundant resources and checked on our well-being. I believe they did an exceptional job." After giving Sabrina a night to consider her choice, the welfare team escorted her out of the competition the next day.
"I wasn't the only one," says Sabrina, unsure if Jordan (Player 317) also chose to self-eliminate. "I'm guessing he made that decision too. Another girl also left after Red Light, Green Light, but they kept it hidden."
Despite wishing for more time to say farewell to her fellow contestants, Sabrina has no regrets about her time on the show. "Personally, I was just grateful for the experience."

The article sheds light on the truth behind their absence, revealing that contestant Sabrina Sabir (Player 277) chose to self-eliminate from the competition. This revelation adds another layer of complexity to the show and raises questions about the choices and motivations of the players.
Sabrina's account of her experience on the show paints a vivid picture of the challenges and difficulties faced by the contestants. The endless waiting, lack of sunlight, and uncertainty about what was happening must have taken a toll on their physical and mental well-being. Despite these challenges, Sabrina maintained a positive attitude and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the competition. Her decision to self-eliminate was a personal choice, and it highlights the importance of self-care and knowing one's limits in high-pressure situations.
