Netflix's newest reality TV show, Squid Game: The Challenge, has fans over the edge. Not only because of its players but most especially for the drama behind the scenes. Player 141 made quite a 'dramatic' exit when they were eliminated halfway through the series. Here's why most fans still remember them.
How Long Did Player 141 Last in Squid Game: The Challenge?
Player 141's real name is Dash Katz, they work as an audiobook narrator and model as well as a nanny, which, as Netflix Tudum noted from the contestant, makes them a living oxymoron.
They were voted to be 'Most Likely to Be on Reality TV' in high school and self-proclaimed to be a 'superfan of social strategy' on these kinds of shows, which speaks for itself, considering how 141's strategy went.
Unfortunately, 141 only lasted until episode 5, where they were eliminated.
Right before the marbles game was about to commence, Squid Game: The Challenge had another elimination round using jack-in-a-boxes.
When everyone had to vote three players out of the dorm, Dash said that telling the truth about who you vote for would make them come for you in the next game.
With that in mind, player 141 decided to lie about voting for Chaney (player 179 whom they seemingly trusted) and instead said they voted for Jesse (player 183).
This strategy backfired on 141, especially when Dash tried warning the other players that player 179 was in alliance with someone 'out to get them.' Because of this, they became a target to get eliminated by Chaney's team.
Player 141's last words before leaving the game were to expose the 4-person alliance who was 'out to get him' in the reality show; "Nothing I have said is a lie. There is a four-person alliance, 183, 182, 179, 176."

Where is Player 141 After Squid Game: The Challenge?
Despite losing their chance at grabbing the $4.56 Million for themselves, Dash told Tudum:
"I slayed. My strategy was to play a social game and give everyone a chance. I have been discarded and underestimated a lot in my life, so I wanted to make sure to feel out every player I possibly could and try and connect with them.
As Netflix's official Squid Game: The Challenge site updated as of November 29th, Dash just became an uncle again and even had their own runway on the New York Fashion Week, "I realized how strong I really am, and now I know I can do anything I set my heart and mind to. My confidence and sense of self have definitely skyrocketed since my time on the show."
As for where Dash Katz aka player 141 ended up after Squid Game: The Challenge, they have been updating fans on the get-go on his X (formerly Twitter) profile.
