  This is how people in the UK learn to ignore the red lights and just walk over as long as no cars or police are coming.

  once the documentary about the reality show comes out, it'll be imitating art again. >
  
  Why can't you ever make a documentary about the thing you plan to make a documentary about? >

  The real Squid Game is in the execution. >
  
  Because of the implication >
  
  Are you going to hurt these gameshow contestants? >
  
  No I would never do that... But the implication... >
  
  
  Contestants — who weren’t paid to participate in the series — say they were told the actual game would take roughly two hours to play and shoot, but instead that turned into an almost seven-hour ordeal for some contenders. All of this was carried out in an unforgiving U.K. cold snap that saw temperatures drop to zero degrees Celsius in Bedford on the day of filming. A number of contestants collapsed on set — likely due to a combination of cold and fatigue from the eight hours of prep time before the game even started.
  
  Least exploitative reality show >
  
  seriously how hard would it have been to chuck an Extra's pay of $50 or whatever at each. would be a blip on the budget >
  
  But then they could save $50/person by not paying them... >
  
  Found the Studio accountant.  😜 >
  
  From what I’ve heard it wasn’t even the games that were the problem. It’s everything else >
  
  It was the fact that they were freezing in an airplane hangar, and that it was being run like a TV show set rather than a competition, and the competitors had to hold positions for 30+ min instead of getting rest time >
  
  30 minutes....?
  Some of us have to hold position for eight hours... >
  
  Eight hours? Are you a professional red light green light player? What on earth makes you freeze in an exact position for eight hours? >
  
  I can understand why they were surprised at the inhumanity of it, especially when compared to MrBeast’s Squid Game.
  In MrBeast’s game, all of them were paid for their appearance and paid extra in random prizes during the games and the game was done in relatively comfortable conditions with realistic timelines set for the game. 
  Whereas in Netflix game, it was done in the cold and apparently none were paid before hand. And for some reason Red Light Green Light took 7 hours. Literally how. >
  
  It's hard to stand perfectly still in the cold. >
  
  Also for 30+ min at a time, everyone has played Red-light green-light before, but no one has done it in these conditions >
  
  You aint never played RLGL if you never waited half an hour on red light. 
  Back in my day, the leader would call red light, go home to dinner, watch some prime time television, go to bed, and then, before school, they'd consider saying green light. You had to wait there, motionless, hungry, bored, and tired. You had to earn it. 
  Legend has it some kids never stopped waiting for that light to change.
