Dajah Graham, Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2

When Dajah joined the competition, she enthusiastically shared the exciting news with her Instagram followers. On one of her Instagram posts, she captioned, “So blessed to be a part of Netflix’s Squid Game universe. Tune in on November 4th and watch Squid Game The Challenge season 2 on Netflix $4.56 million on the line. While on an interview with TUDUM, Dajah revealed that Dajah acknowledged that she didn’t appear funny on the show because she approached the competition with seriousness and focus. For her, humor had no place when it was time to handle business, especially with $4.56 million on the line. She believed laughter could come later, but during the game, it was time to get to work.

Dajah went into the competition planning to keep things chill, an approach heavily inspired by Season 1 winner, Mai Whelan. From the onset, Dajah’s strategy was to keep a low profile without fading into the background. She was influenced by Mai, who had a strong ability to read people. To avoid being perceived as a threat, Dajah concealed her law enforcement background and instead told others she worked in real estate. It’s worth noting that Dajah’s main motivation for entering the game was to give her son the childhood she never had and travel around the world.

Throughout the season, Dajah formed strong bonds with fellow players, most notably Player 301. However, the elimination of this close ally deeply affected her, and she was even willing to seek “revenge” for that loss. She made it all the way to the final five contestants, alongside Vanessa Clements (Player 17), Trinity Parriman (Player 398), Steven Jones (Player 183), and eventual winner Perla Figuereo (Player 72). Despite not winning the cash prize, Dajah demonstrated resilience and skillfully balanced emotional intelligence with tactical gameplay.
