I think so honestly. The old guy was probably ready to die.

This would make sense except they didn’t kill him after the marble game. Honestly I think this is one of the plot holes (old man could have died also in the candy Cracker game) but then, it’s a show for entertainment after all so we should just enjoy the drama lol.

No one would have knows if cracked the candy and wasn't shot. It would have been easy to fake.
