Squid Game: The Challenge players were subjected to being watched “in the showers and toilets”, according to one contestant who made it through to the dorms.
Player number 166 – Louisa Warwick – sailed through nine gruelling hours of filming Red Light, Green Light in freezing cold British temperatures and into the dorms. And while she was expecting a lack of privacy, it still sounds tough to deal with.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Louisa explained: “[There were cameras] in the showers. And the toilets, yeah. Think of it like Big Brother, there are cameras absolutely everywhere – in the toilet stalls, in the shower stalls.

“I knew what I was getting into, so… but there is an element of trust. You have to trust Netflix won’t show a video of you in the bathroom, but if I was worried about that I wouldn’t have done this show.”

She went on: “I just made the assumption that there are cameras in the bathroom, because growing up I loved watching Big Brother. If two people went into the shower together to have a conversation or do other stuff, they want to capture that moment. I assumed if I did anything in the bathrooms that was noteworthy or interesting to look at then that’s the reason why the cameras were there.”
For Louisa, the most difficult challenge was the first game, which she said involved “seven and a half hours” of holding the same pose while staff checked who had moved as soon as the music stopped.
She explained: “I’ve run two marathons in decent times, and this was so much harder than that. This was seven and a half hours of basically holding a pose.
“It was unusually cold in the UK that day, minus five degrees Celsius. We were in an aircraft hangar – a concrete and metal building. We had to hold poses when the music stopped for 15 to 45 minutes at a time, which is why it took so long to get from one end of the arena to the other.”

But asked what she thinks about those players launching lawsuits against Netflix to protest the conditions, Louisa says they “knew what they were getting into”. She said: “We were given a very thorough contract to read over. It alluded that it would not be a walk in the park, that there would be tough conditions.
“I went in thinking, ‘This is going to be tough, I need to put my athlete’s hat on and just crack on with it.’ So I did.”
