He gets to pass away peacefully in bed later on.
And one of those contestants seems to have a lot in common withSquid Games 001.
Were referring to Player 232 a.k.a.
But if Netflixhasplanted a mole withinThe Challenge, it would undoubtedly be Rick.
Here are some reasons why.
232 Is Old
Both 001 and 232 are old men.
Your honor, we rest our case.
Take em away, boys!
OK so thats a pretty superficial reason to suspect 232 is an 001-style mole withinSquid Game: The Challenge.
But superficiality kind of matters here.
Without at least some physical similarities, this case isnt as strong.
It at least lends more credence for the arguments to come.
No one thinks Im a threat.
Im not really frail.
And my mind is sharp.
That can help my chances a great deal.
232/Rick is not only one of those players but it seems like he gets an outsized amount of attention.
The show allows him to delve deep into his backstory.
Within the games themselves, people seem unusually drawn to Rick.
He ends up being the emotional lynchpin of the so-called Gganbu Gang and everyone enjoys his presence.
Hes extremely charismatic, almost like hes … an actor.
He talks about getting acalling cardtattoo from the series, along with his player number.
Most notable, however, is his absolute dominance at the paper gameddakji.
Well see if theyre right.
