Cape Fear local finishes runner-up on Netflix’s “Squid Game: The Challenge”

COLUMBUS COUNTY (WWAY) — A Cape Fear local was the runner up in Netflix’s reality tv series “Squid Games: The Challenge.” 

Dajah Graham is from Columbus County and never imagined she would make it to the final five when she applied for the reality show, let alone be the runner up. 

She faced many trials during the show mentally, emotionally, and physically. 

Her game ended with a tragic injury, rupturing her Achillies’ tendon, but she is proud of herself and her time in the game. 

She says the biggest takeaway — be your authentic self. 

“Believe in yourself. Trust your gut and trust your intuition, you can do just about anything you put your mind to, like, yeah, it’s going to be some games of luck or chance but, just believe in yourself and give it your all,” said Graham. 

The season finale of Squid Games: The Challenge Season 2 premiered November 18th.
