Squid Game: The Challenge’s Player 302 talks injury in Season 2 finale
Like the real Squid Game, Squid Game: The Challenge also comes with several difficulties and risks. The finale of Season 2 featured one such major twist as Dajah had to be medically disqualified. This came shortly after Player 389’s shocking sacrifice. So, it came down to Player 017, Player 072, Player 183, and Player 302 to compete in a winner-takes-it-all game.
After Player 017 and Player 183 were eliminated, the game came down to Player 302 and Player 072. But as Player 302 started a run, she injured her leg and fell to the ground. Dajah broke this down during a post-screening Q&A of the Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 finale.
“Fun fact – I had never played Red Light, Green Light, but I’m confident,” she said, “Not cocky, but I’m confident. Like ‘I got this.’ So I’m trying to take it slow, but keep up. Because that’s my biggest competition. I knew it. She and I were neck-and-neck, and I’m like ‘OK, maybe I need to get a little bit more speed, because we’re both going to be still.”
She continued, “So when I went to take off I heard a pop. It sounded like rubber or something. And I’m like ‘My god, I’m running so fast, I ran through my shoes!’ Then I’m trying to hold my position, and my body is not supporting it… I tore my Achilles Tendon!”
Dajah showed the scar from the surgery, saying that it “snapped, ripped in half, it separated.” She added, “I’m still in recovery…I haven’t been to work since that. I can barely function. I’m trying to gain mobility and strength.”
But because she was eliminated for a medical reason, she did not take it as a big loss. “I got medically disqualified – I’m not just going to take the ‘L’ just like that, I got medically disqualified!” she added.
