Ever since Squid Game: The Challenge hit the small display screen, many former players have taken to social media to share their reviews on the fact festival show. Some are throwing shade, accusing the show of being as rigged as a carnival ring toss, while others are dishing about the surprising love tales that brewed between contestants.
Who may have predicted that a display involving 456 people fighting it out in extremely elaborate versions of children's games would grow to be a spicy love fest? Not us, that's evidently! The series didn't give off any romantic vibes, but dangle onto your hats as a result of an ex-player simply spilled the tea on a love triangle that unfolded behind the scenes.

'Squid Game: The Challenge' spiced issues up with a love triangle.
During the Dec. 5, 2023, episode of The Viall Files podcast, Phalisia (aka Player 229) opened as much as the titular host about "hookups" on set. After finding out that the contestants used the condoms provided on set to lubricate their lips, Nick Viall pressed Phalisia to show if any individual were given down and grimy.
"They're bringing in 400 plus people, it's an intense atmosphere," he added, "you're bonding over intense situations, there's probably closets and corners. People are going to f--k."

When asked to reveal extra, Phalisia merely responded, "I don't know for sure if they f--ked, but I can say that I was in the bathroom when they both were in the shower."
The host insisted that Phalisia reveal the identities of the gamers she was regarding, however she remained tight-lipped before unexpectedly revealing that "there was a love triangle going on." Wait, what?!

Reality Ashley (@realityashley) shared the clip on TikTok with the caption, "OK, who is in the love triangle?" — and bam! A tsunami of untamed theories flooded the comment phase courtesy of loads of eager lovers.
Many fans jokingly speculated that the secret romance was between Mai (Player 287) and Chad (Player 286), as the two formed a tight bond during the show. However, one genius viewer cracked the case in file time, writing, "The only thing I've found on Twitter was 271 (Joy) and 417 (Alex) were a showmance."

Player 271 and Player 417 were a showmance on 'Squid Game: The Challenge.'
After former participant Dash Katz revealed that Joy Mbella (Player 271) and Alex Al-ameen (Player 417) were a "budding showmance" on Squid Game: The Challenge, Ashley Tolbert (Player 278) alleged they had been two of the three players concerned in the rumored love triangle.
"Lol, so should we do a live with joy and the other woman that was a part of the love triangle on the show?" Ashley cheekily wrote on X (formerly referred to as Twitter). Um, yes please — we'd like solutions!

If that wasn't enough tea for you, Sam Kohn (Player 188) chimed in and showed to The Tab that Joy and Alex's "little showmance" was, in fact, the real deal.
"There was a little showman between players Joy and Alex. He was on the bunk above me and they’d lie in bed each night and cuddle a bit, but then when it was lights out you had to go back to your own bunk," Sam informed the outlet. "In the showers, there were modesty showers for the Muslim players which was floor-to-ceiling frosted glass and there were rumors people were f--king in them. But I don't know how true that is!"
