Player 278 from Squid Game: The Challenge has been branded a 'coward' by viewers after the Glass Bridge controversy in episode seven, which led to the downfall of player 301 - a fan favourite of the game show.
Viewers will recognise the Glass Bridge Challenge from Netflix's original Squid Game where the objective is to cross the 'glass' bridge by choosing the correct panel and risking elimination if the choice is wrong. During the competition, Player 278 - whose real name is Ashley - refused to agree to a teamwork strategy that the other players had decided to try. Ultimately, it meant that player 301 - Trey, who initially joined the show alongside his mum - took a number of jumps forward, only to land on a fateful square which led to his elimination.
