Mai discussed her teenage pregnancy, which led to a rift in her family.
She became a mother without any support from those who are supposed to love and support us unconditionally.
He also discussed the hate letters he received from his mother after he came out.

It also had a way of making us root for all the contestants when only one could win.
To no ones surprise, while enjoying their lavish meal, the three faced another test.
Three buttons laid before them on a small table.
When pressed, one button would turn gray, which had no consequence.
One button would turn red, which would eliminate the person who pressed it.
Mai went first and pushed a button that turned gray.
Yet, it wasnt a best-of-three or a one-and-done.
And, if the key unlocked a safe resting a few steps away, they would win.
Mai seemed to have unlocked Phils pattern.
Always the smart one, this came as no shock.
Mai won season 1 ofSquid Game: The Challenge.
Just icing on the cake at this point.
So, how are fans responding to Mais win and the seasons ultimate conclusion?
Why do so many families stink?
Listening to 016, 287, and 451s personal stories only confirms that most families are trash.
She definitely played the game!
I had high hopes for it but they dropped the ball big time.
Final episode, Im sad to say, was watched on fast-forward.
Such a brilliant series.
Tension just dissipated at the end of episode 9.
