Maggie was considered a controversial winner back in her day, with many fans despising her Friendship alliance and rooting for underdogs Janelle Pierzina and Kaysar Ridha to pull through instead.

However, Netflix would likely skip those digital options and release films directly to its streaming service after the 17-day theatrical run.
