Squid Game: The Challenge is fast becoming our favourite new reality show. Based on the drama series of the same name, the Netflix reality show sees 456 contestants from around the world compete in a series of challenges inspired by the game in the hopes of walking away with $4.56million.
The first five episodes dropped last week, and already viewers are divided over certain players in the game, like player 161. During the games so far player 161, aka Lorenzo, has taken two portions of food at dinner, made an enemy out of player 302 and worn a seriously iconic crochet outfit in his interview before heading into the games.
So what else is there to know about player 161? Here's everything you need to know.
Netflix
How old is player 161?
Player 161 is 26 years old.
Where is player 161 from?
Player 161 aka Lorenzo is originally from Italy but now lives in the UK.
What is player 161's job?
Lorenzo is an asset manager, however he also appears to have a love for designing clothes and co-hosts a podcast 'The Devil Wears Drama'.
Does player 161 have Instagram?
Lorenzo sure does, and you can follow him at the handle here @only.lorenzo. And we'd thoroughly recommend a follow as his Instagram is full of iconic outfits.
How has Netflix described player 161?
Before heading into Squid Game: The Challenge, Netflix described Lorenzo as, "a self-described 'master manipulator', who also does a great chicken impression. He loves to design clothes and play basketball, and he’s also a music fanatic. He’s been manifesting playing in the last game and knows he’ll be a multimillionaire soon — no strategy required."
What happens to player 161 in Squid Game: The Challenge?
*Spoiler alert*
Player 161 made quite an impression during episode one, when he took another plate of food during dinner time. However, despite making a bad impression on some of his fellow players, he did well in the challenges getting through 'Red Light, Green Light', 'Dalgona' and 'Battleships'. But sadly, 161's time on Squid Game: The Challenge came to an end during episode four when player 302 nominated him to be voted out.
Though Lorenzo nominated 302 to be voted out of the game, she didn't receive enough votes and so Lorenzo became one of three players, along with players 374 and 330 to leave the show.
Squid Game: The Challenge is available on Netflix now
