LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the second 'Squid Game' challenge, four players, including Spencer Hawkins (Player 299) and Bryton Constantin (Player 432), were in for the dalgona challenge. Spencer found himself in a tough spot and had to pick the most difficult cookie, the umbrella.
As if that wasn't hard enough, an argument broke out between Spencer and Bryton. Others asked Spencer to just take the umbrella straight up and not get shot, suggesting that if he didn't, they'd all go home.
