I kept the little granny panties they gave us in there.
They gave us fanny packs and I kept that.”

Trey also kept whatever smaller items he could.
“And then I also kept my hand sanitizer.
I know a couple players kept their bum bags, but I forgot mine.
I had accidentally thrown it in with my tracksuit [when giving it back].”
“I remember having plain oatmeal, that was the breakfast each time,” Spencer says.
“And rice with chicken that could have used more salt or something.
One time someone left a little extra in their tray and I licked at it clean.”
“That would not suffice,” she says.
“We were given different meals each day, but every morning, we had plain porridge.
It wasn’t terrible, just flavorless.
It maybe needed some sugar.
I would force it down in the morning.
And then lunch would vary.
Some days it might be a tiny bit of noodles.
“Maybe it was because there was no sodium, no preservatives.
It was just boiled peas and chicken that was dry.
But I felt fantastic coming out of that.”
He quickly clarifies that he hated actually eating the food.
“Don’t get me wrong, it sucked,” he says with a laugh.
“It was awful.
I had to choke it down.
“I took the tallest bunk because I wanted to be able to see everybody.
Before we all picked bunks, I said, ‘Does anybody over here snore?’
Everyone said, ‘No.’
We all go to bed, sure enough, we got a snorer.
Trey says that he struggled with the quality of bedding and dorm environment.
“The pillows were pretty bad, not very supportive,” he explains.
I had to sleep with my jacket over my eyes, so that was pretty challenging.
Despite those challenging aspects, Spencer loved living in the dorm because it felt like adult summer camp.
“I really appreciated us having no phones and us all being in the same clothes.
It’s like, ‘Oh, okay.
That’s the kind of marketing you do.'”
The season finale ofSquid Game: The Challengepremieres Wednesday at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m.
