That’s right, it’s once again time to see who would win a Total Drama Squid Game.
We were able to include quite a few of the Total Drama franchise’s classic characters
in our previous video, but there are still many other characters from the series. So,
which of these second, third and fourth gen characters will make it
through our deadly games and which ones don’t really stand much of a chance?
Find out in this second edition of Total… Drama… Squid Game!
Just like last time, all contestants will be put on as equal of a playing field as possible.
No camper will be allowed any weapons or tools that could be used to give them an advantage.
Any characters who were mutated will also be in their human form for these games.
As for our contestants for this time around, we’re going to be focusing on the Revenge and
Pahkitew Island casts, as well as a bit of the Ridonculous Race cast. However,
we aren’t including any campers that were included in our last video, those guys are still dead.
As for this video’s contestants, we have: Dakota, Anne Maria, Brick, Sam, Dawn, B,
Staci, Shawn, Jasmine, Sky, Dave, Sugar, Ella, Max, Scarlett, Topher, Rodney, Leonard, Amy,
Samey, Beardo, Carrie, Devin, Rock, Spud, Crimson, Ennui, Ryan, Stephanie, Emma,
Kitty, Jacques, Josee, MacArthur and Sanders. That brings our total up to 35 contestants.
Now that we’ve got our players, it’s time to let the games begin!
We’ll of course start with our first game: “Red Light, Green Light”.
“Red Light, Green Light” is a game that’s all about speed and sharp listening skills.
The goal is to make it to the finish line as fast as you can. However, if a player is too
focused on the finish line to realize when a ‘red light’ is coming up, or if they easily panic and
accidentally move or stumble when they’re supposed to freeze, this game could spell their doom.
In terms of people that we think would do well in this came, Jasmine easily makes it across the
finish line. Come on, she’s a survivalist, after all! Sure, flying bullets may not be common in the
Australian Outback, but her instincts and physical prowess would still help her out tremendously.
Similarly, Sky also makes it through this round easily. As a gymnast, she’s both fast
and agile. Sky is also a total rule follower, so she’d have no issues listening to directions.
Another rule-follower that makes it through this round with flying colors is Sanders. In addition,
both she and MacArthur have trained around bullets and would likely be able to keep calm under fire.
As for our deaths, the first death is (to no one’s surprise) Leonard.
This wannabe wizard has shown time and time again that not only does he struggle to
tell fantasy from reality, but he also tends to overestimate his own ‘magic’.
He’d likely try to cast a spell to stop the doll from calling “Red Light”, only to get shot.
Another person who dies in this game is Spud. While we’re sure his rocker buddy would help him
as much as he could, Spud is just too slow-minded and too slow to react to last long in this game.
For Anne Maria, it’s her focus on her ‘perfect’ hair that leads to her downfall.
Anne Maria could have done extremely well in these games. Unfortunately, if a spray
bullet were to get too close to her hair, it’s likely she’d be so focused on fixing it to pay
attention to the calls, probably getting shot as she’s trying to get a strand back into place.
Our final (and most heartbreaking) death in this game is Brick. Now, if he was playing solo,
Brick would do phenomenal in this game. He’s both athletic and extremely disciplined, he would have
easily been able to cross the finish line. But as Brick says, he never leaves a man behind. As such,
he would most likely be killed trying to help one of the previously shot competitors.
Alright, with four deaths down, we’ve got 31 contestants left.
Time for our next game - “Ppopgi” or Honeycomb.
The Honeycomb game requires patience and a steady hand.
Too much shaking or pressure could cause a fatal break. As such, our campers will need
to have enough focus to poke out their shape without accidentally breaking it.
Someone who does amazing in this game is Dawn. She’s someone with great instincts as well
as a delicate touch and tons of patience. There’s no way she’s breaking the cookie.
The same could be said for the Goths: Crimson and Ennui,
who are also incredibly patient and probably have a steady hand,
given how much make-up and eyeliner they apply to themselves every day.
Surprisingly, B also does well in this game. While he may have bigger hands than the average person,
he seems like he’d be patient enough and intelligent enough
to figure out the key to this game.
The first death of this game is the queen of Ridonculous Race Rage, Stephanie.
Yeahhh, Stephanie doesn’t do well under pressure.
That combined with her horrible temper doesn’t do her any favors.
Coincidentally enough, her on-again off-again boyfriend, Ryan, also dies in this game. Just
like his partner, Ryan struggles immensely under pressure. Not helping is the fact
that he’s so buff and would likely have a ton of trouble not breaking the cookie.
The final death of this game goes to Sugar. Not only is Sugar impatient and easily angered,
but she’s also extremely arrogant and not the brightest bulb in the box.
With all those factors, it’s hard to see her making it through this game.
After a surprisingly low number of deaths, we’ve got 28 contestants left standing.
Following the Honeycomb game, we of course have “The Midnight Brawl”.
Lack of food and sleep plus the stress of staying alive can drive any person to
the point of violence, and in these games, it’s every camper for themself. To survive this game,
a person must be either strong enough to fight or clever and sneaky enough to hide. So,
who would be able to either fend off attackers or properly hide themselves until the brawl was over?
Once again, the Goths come out on top this round. With how quiet and stealthy these two
are, they’d have no problems hiding away in a dark corner somewhere.
The same goes for Dawn. She’s definitely not a fighter, but her silent nature combined with
her aura sensing would help her a ton in this game when it came to staying out of danger.
Though not the most athletic of the bunch, Shawn also does surprisingly well.
Like Jasmine, he’s a survivalist - just of the apocalyptic kind. Honestly though,
that’s probably more helpful in this scenario. We’ve also seen that the dude
can throw down when he needs to, being able to fight off a whole bunch of Chris-bots.
Finally, Scarlett is probably the most likely to have a body count in these games, simply due
to her intelligence and malevolence. She absolutely survives this round.
The first to die in this game is poor Samey. This isn’t necessarily due to anything that’s
her fault, but more that- well… her twin sister hates her guts. If Amy thought she had a chance
to get her second-rate sis out of the picture once and for all, she’d absolutely take it.
Another Pahkitew Island character we see die here is Beardo. Not only is
this guy too mellow to be a fighter, but his tendency to make noises at
the worst possible times would no doubt give away his hiding spot.
Next death in this game is the sweet and innocent princess Ella.
Yeahhh, this shouldn’t be too big of a shock. Ella is non-violent and
sickenly sweet, and since she can’t defend herself, she’d be a sitting duck.
Similarly to Beardo, Staci would also die here.
She’s extremely talkative and struggles to shut up. She’s also pretty average in terms of skill,
so it’s unlikely she’d be smart enough to hide or strong enough to fight.
Our final death is yet another Pahkitew camper,
Dave. We’re sure a lot of people are happy to see this guy go, though we promise that
we aren’t being biased. Dave is extremely scrawny and not much of a fighter. In fact, he’s pretty
much a wimp. He can also be anxious and even foolish at times - which easily spells his doom.
With several more campers permanently down for the count,
it’s time for our 23 remaining contestants to move onto another strength-based game - “Tug of War”.
Unlike the actual “Squid Game”, we aren’t going to assign characters to specific teams. Instead,
we’re simply going to judge them based on their abilities and
likelihood to survive. To win “Tug of War”, you don’t just
need strength. You also need strategy, and a willingness to work with others. Even weaker
players have a shot at surviving if they can coordinate properly with stronger players.
Some of the people who pass this challenge easily include Jasmine, who is both strong
and a great leader who could easily lead her team to victory, Rodney, who is just
super strong, Scarlett, who would be smart enough to properly strategize,
MacArthur, who is pretty much like a bull in terms of strength and determination,
and Kitty, who is a great team player who could easily encourage whoever she was working with.
We should also give a mention to B - as while his silence may cause problems in terms of
helping his team come up with a strategy, he’s still one of the biggest competitors left in the
game as well as one of the smartest, so we feel that he just barely manages to make it through.
As for our losers of this round, the first death belongs to Topher. Now, Topher is already a pretty
average guy, not too strong or smart. But what really seals his fate is the fact that he only
really cares about being the next Chris McLean. You know, the guy who’d probably be running these
games? Yeahhh, he’d have a hard time getting anyone to listen to him or work with him.
The next death is the supervillain wannabe, Max. We saw through his alliance with Scarlett that
Max can sometimes struggle with teamwork, very much wanting to be his own boss. This
combined with his shorter stature and in-general incompetence pretty much spells doom for him.
Another death that comes in this round is Amy.
Huh, guess Samey got her revenge after all. Amy is an extremely self-centered person,
and even if her favorite target is no longer in the game, we doubt she’d be able to work well
with the people remaining and she certainly isn’t strong enough to win on her own.
Unfortunately for one of the best couples in the series, we’ll have to say that
both Dakota and Sam also die in this round. Without the strength from her mutated form,
we just feel that Dakota wouldn’t be physically strong enough to win this game.
As for Sam, while he is a bit stronger, he also isn’t nearly as physically fit. He may
have made it through the other physical games, but we think that he dies here.
The same has to be said with Dawn. Now, Dawn is already a fairly passive person.
Though she will act on occasion and help her team out, she isn’t necessarily a fighter and
since this is the first game where a person is forced to somewhat directly kill another person,
we just feel that Dawn would rather lose than take another’s life.
So, we end this round with only 17 contestants left. Up next, we have “The Marble Game”.
Marbles is an interesting one, at least in the context of “Squid Game”. There are multiple ways
for pairs of players to play their marble game. They could focus on accuracy or how far they
can roll their marble, or they can simply guess how many marbles are in their opponent’s hand.
As such, there are multiple ways to win, with most of these ways relying on either skill
or luck. Of course, if you don’t have the skills to win, there’s always manipulation…
Now, here’s where specifically selecting pairs from the Ridonculous Race
kiiiiinda backfires. We all know about the personal drama that can come from the Marbles
game, whether it’s being forced to kill a friend or having to compete against your
actual loved one like the husband and wife from the show. It’s also unlikely that our
remaining Ridonculous pairs would split up prior to knowing what the game was.
With that in mind, we’ve selected the people who we think would sacrifice themselves
for their partners: Emma, because she’s
the big sister and is protective of Kitty, Devin, because we feel that despite how much
love they both have for each other he would still refuse to let Carrie die to save him,
MacArthur, because as much as she may want to win,
she cares deeply about her partner. Also, considering how heartbroken
MacArthur was over just breaking Sanders’ arm, we doubt she’d be able to kill her.
Jacques, because… well, more because Josee would probably refuse to lose and Jacques
wouldn’t have much of a choice in the matter. And finally, Crimson - though with these two,
it was a toss-up since we feel either one of them would both be okay with dying (they’re goth,
after all) and would be willing to sacrifice their life for their partner.
We’re also going to throw in the Shawn and Jasmine pairing. Between them,
we feel that either one of them would be willing to sacrifice for the other. However,
given Shawn’s slight anxiousness and Jasmine’s higher skill level,
we feel that she would win out in the end, leading Shawn to be our next death.
Another unfortunate death in this round would be the country sweetheart,
Rodney. Let’s face it, the guy wouldn’t hurt a fly,
and if he happened to be paired up with a female character, he’d absolutely give his life for her
(after falling in love with her, of course). We’re also taking into account that Rodney
isn’t too bright, so if he was paired up with a male, it’s still likely that he’d be outwitted.
Our final death in this very bloody round is the remaining rocker bro, Rock.
Though he’s certainly smarter than Spud, Rock still isn’t necessarily the brightest.
We feel that he could be tricked without too much effort, and thus we had to eliminate him.
With only 9 contestants left, it’s time for one of this competition's
deadliest games: “Glass Stepping Stones”.
This game is another tricky one for a hypothetical scenario,
as much of this game relies on luck. There is ONE strategy to it, however,
that being the advantage of going last - after some glasses pieces have already been broken. As
such, those who have a big enough ego to want to try a game first will likely seal their doom.
One such person with that ego would likely be Sky.
At this point in the game, she’s likely more desperate than ever to win and would
probably end up picking the first number despite not knowing what the game is.
The next in line would unfortunately be Jasmine.
After barely making it through the last round, it really is sad to see Jasmine die here. But
again, Jasmine is a leader and would absolutely pick one of the higher numbers.
Funnily enough, we could see Josee actually shoving others out of the way to get a high
number. Let’s face it, the girl’s ego is as big as an ice skating rink. We could also see Josee
picking a middle number given that she’s a schemer and would want to see how others do
first. Frankly, we could also see her pushing others off the bridge,
given how cutthroat she can be and how willing she is to sabotage. In the end though,
we feel that Josee’s ego would stop her from picking a low enough number for her to survive.
Being a cop-in-training, Sanders is probably used to being one of the
first to go into a dangerous situation, so it’s probable that she would pick a
middle-to-high number without much hesitation. A brave choice, but not exactly a wise one.
Our final three deaths in this game would be, in our opinion,
B, Kitty and Carrie. All three of these characters would likely pick middle numbers,
which would allow them to make it fairly far before their eventual death. In addition to
their order, none of these characters have any particular skills that could allow them to tell
the heated glass from the regular glass. So, they all end up falling to their dooms.
That leads us with only two characters left:
the evil and intelligent Scarlett and the calm and collected goth Ennui.
Just like in the show, our final challenge will be a one-on-one duel in the titular Squid Game.
In this game, two opponents must go up against one another,
with one acting as a defender and the other as an attacker, with the attacker doing everything
they can to reach the top of the court (or the squid’s ‘head’) and touch it with their foot,
with the defender doing whatever they can to stop them. Or at least, that’s how Squid
Game is traditionally played. Here though, it’s more of a ‘battle to the death’ type of deal.
Those two finalists are Ennui and Scarlett.
While we may love Ennui and the Ridonculous Goths in general, we have to acknowledge that
in terms of fighting prowess or extraordinary skill, Ennui doesn’t have much. He only survived
in the previous game by being one of the last to go, and as we saw in his series,
Ennui’s only extraordinary skills are a talent for stage magic, an ability to attract bunnies,
and an intimidation boost if he were to put on some hardcore goth attire. We never see
Ennui do anything too impressive physically, and we never see him fight anyone either.
Scarlett, on the other hand, has several things going for her. She’s very intelligent,
has a fiery temper, is extremely cruel, and would likely stop at nothing to win. She’s literally
an evil villainess who was willing to blow up an island before attempting to take over the world,
indicating that she would not hesitate to go for a kill-shot while in hand-to-hand combat.
With all that in mind, we really had no choice but to predict: the final death in this game as Ennui.
Which makes Scarlett the winner of The Squid Game.
So, it looks like evil triumphs this time around. Bummer… Still, we have to wonder:
how would our new champion fare against our previous champion,
Izzy. Intelligent and Evil VS Surprising and Chaotic Neutral. Hmm, tough call.
