Squid Game: The Challenge contestant Mikie Bowe has opened up about his experience on the game show, revealing it was 'serious' and 'intense' but dismissed accusations it was fixed

One contestant, Mikie Bowe, previously opened up about his experience on the game show, revealing that it was the "hardest" thing he's ever taken part in, but he wouldn't think twice about signing up again.
