With 456 contestants on Squid Game: The Challenge, it's hard to stand out. The only way you can do that is by being a villain or by having really good looks. And for Player 222 in Squid Game: The Challenge, the latter is the only way to go.
Who is Player 222 in Squid Game: The Challenge?
Player 222 in Squid Game: The Challenge is Jordan Levoux, a 29-year-old barista and swim teacher who comes from Australia. His bio on Netflix's page reads:
"Jordan is very athletic, so even though he’s never watched an episode of the Squid Game scripted series, he thinks he’ll play well in any game that has to do with being physical. He wants to figure out a strategy as he goes and is looking forward to seeing how everyone handles being in such a large human experiment. If he wins, he’ll help his mom retire, buy a few new surfboards, take dancing lessons, and foot the bill for dinner with friends. While in the dorm, he eats a picnic alone."
He also works as a model. He revealed that he spotted a casting notice for the show at his modeling agency.
Why is Player 222 in Squid Game: The Challenge Called a Stereotypical-Looking Aussie?
Jordan doesn't really get too much screen time on the show. Perhaps this is because he didn't cause any drama or have any beef with any of the other players. Of course, this is for the good since he mainly kept to himself.
But despite a swarm of other contestants, it is impossible not to spot Jordan aka Player 222 in Squid Game: The Challenge. For starters, he is a really tall guy. He also has a distinct look about him that makes him stand out from everyone else.
Jordan is even referred to as a "stereotypical-looking Aussie." Of course, this is because of his shaggy surfer haircut and mustache that makes him look like he came straight from the 70s and 80s.
Is Jordan Still in Squid Game: The Challenge?
In Episode 5: Trick or Treat, Jordan fails to find a partner to go on a picnic with. This allowed him to sit out the Marbles game, which was seen in Episode 6: Goodbye. It also saved him in the game, since half of the remaining players in the game were eliminated.
Unfortunately, Jordan was unable to go past Episode 7: Friend and Foe. During a Dorm Test of allegiance, none of the players picked Jordan to join them in the line. This resulted in his immediate elimination from the game.
Where is Squid Game: The Challenge's Player 222 Today?
Despite sustaining injuries caused by other contestants, Jordan dismissed the thought of filing a lawsuit. He even spoke about his experience in a podcast:
"If you watched Squid Game, I’m sure you’d understand what you signed up for in the first place. What, you think they’re just going to hand over 4 and half million dollars?”
On the topic of pursuing legal action against Netflix, the model said:
“I actually thought we were treated really well considering I had no issues with any of the production team.”
Lastly, he shared that the idea “sounds like a very American thing.”
