LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Fans of 'Squid Game: The Challenge' are talking online, and they think something's not right. They've noticed some players are missing from the show, and it's got everyone curious.

But what's going on behind the scenes? In a gripping twist, it was revealed by a Reddit user that after the heart-pounding Dalgona challenge, 69 contestants faced elimination, reducing the total to 119.

However, a peculiar discrepancy came to light on Netflix's official page, where Episode 3 displayed 121 players.

Subsequent tests revealed the departure of only one contestant, player 198 (Husnain), leaving the total at 118.

The 'Warships' game in Episode 3 resulted in 45 eliminations, bringing the remaining players down to 73, a number correctly reflected in Netflix's Episode 4 contestant list.

Deepening the mystery, the user revealed the disappearance of players 277 (Sabrina) and 317 (Jordan).

Despite their absence in the storyline, the official Episode 4 player list claims they were "eliminated during a dorm test" – a revelation that never unfolded on screen, leaving viewers puzzled.

Who are missing players Jordan Levoux and Sabrina?   

Sabrina, known for her appearance on 'Let's Make a Deal', is more than just a contestant. She has a love for exploring new cities and kayaking, showcasing her adventurous side.

Interestingly, she's not eager to part with her skincare and makeup routines.

Currently working as a barista and swimming instructor in Sydney, Jordan, a 29-year-old model, has previously appeared in Perfect Man magazine.

Hailing from Australia, Jordan's journey in the show isn't just about challenges but also about using the prize money to support his family.

What is the 'dorm test' challenge?   

In the fourth game of 'Squid Game: The Challenge', contestants faced a dormitory-based elimination test.

As the game kicked off, five brave players positioned themselves next to the boxes of their choice, initiating a critical phase.

Each of them grappled with the anxiety that their selected box might hold their ticket to elimination.

The dormitory, filled with contestants, added to the suspense as these five individuals dared to take the risk, well aware that it could mean sacrificing their chance at the prize money.

'Squid Game: The Challenge' sued by ex-contestants

Contestants in 'Squid Game' are said to have experienced hypothermia and nerve damage during the games, particularly in the 'Red Light, Green Light' challenge.

These health issues were reportedly linked to subpar safety conditions on the set.

The severity of the conditions prompted the contestants to consider legal action against Netflix, claiming they sustained injuries from the challenging conditions.
