Beast Games

The TV series *Beast Games* has drawn a lot of attention for its unique concept and high-stakes challenges, but many viewers argue that it is fundamentally flawed due to its unfair nature. The show prides itself on pitting contestants against one another in intense, supposedly skill-based competitions. However, a closer look reveals that luck and subjective choices play a far greater role than actual talent or ability. Many players advance to the next round not because of their performance but due to random factors or decisions made by other contestants. This undermines the core idea of a fair competition and leaves viewers questioning the legitimacy of the show.

For instance, in several episodes, contestants are eliminated based on group votes rather than objective results. This creates an environment where popularity or alliances determine success, not the individual's merit or ability to excel in the challenge. Moreover, certain games involve unpredictable elements, such as spins, draws, or dice rolls, which make success dependent on sheer chance. This leaves genuinely skilled players vulnerable to elimination simply because they were unlucky, while less deserving participants advance without demonstrating any significant capability.

The reliance on luck and group dynamics in *Beast Games* not only frustrates players but also detracts from the audience's enjoyment. Viewers tune in expecting to see thrilling contests that reward strategy, intelligence, or physical prowess, but instead, they are met with a system that often feels arbitrary and unjust. As a result, the emotional investment in the outcomes dwindles, and the competitive integrity of the show is called into question. Ultimately, while *Beast Games* may entertain on a superficial level, its unfair structure makes it a disappointing experience for those who value fairness and meritocracy in competition-based programming.

So uhh this show is quite interesting but like the challenges are just disappointing. The show is very entertaining and I want more episodes now but there was way to much I will pay you to get out type of challenges. Like its very boring and repetitive. The show is clearly unfair with many of these stupid self sacrifice type of challenges as well as a ton of put your faith in other people types of challenges. These don't show off the skill of the people competing and only really gives an ability to make a stupid story about this one persons sacrifice. And don't get me started on the one person can eliminate the entire row type of challenge. These are just chance and hoping that the people in your row are nice enough to sacrifice 100k just to allow you to stay in the challenge for a longer period of time.

Greetings from the other side. After watching the first two episodes that dropped, I found this show kinda boring.

Yes, he gives away a ton of cash, which is cool, but too many people get eliminated through no fault of their own. Some are asked to sacrifice themselves, while others are booted because someone in their row is greedy and hits a button.

It's not a "game" if you can get booted because of something that someone else has done. Imagine going through a bunch of stuff, and you get sent home because someone in your row hit a button that gives them 100k? That would tick me off.

The games are nothing special, like don't let a ball hit the floor.

Anyways, the only thing I liked was the amount of money he gives gives away. I was getting tired of him saying Five Million Dollars! Oh, I also see no use for his 5 friends either. The one dude was annoying as hell. Fake laughing, and saying "No way!" Or "What's happening!".

Enjoy watching the eliminations and challenges, despite the apparent necessity for lots of screaming and praying and hilarious declarations of love to fellow competitors. Could have well done without the mawkish virtue signalling and heartrending sob stories throughout - every competitor more tragic than the last - to the accompaniment of sad string sections and musically induced pathos! May go down well in some places, and there was hardly a dry eye in my house either, but for a different reason - we found it totally nauseating. Please just stick to the game, the Korean versions, though less money, are far more entertaining.

I've never watched any of Mr Beast's YouTube shows but I was tengentially aware of him and what he does from various news stories over the years. I'll admit, the commercials did pique my interest so I decided to watch.

I thought the setup and structure of the games were very interesting. It's clear they gave the games & rules a lot of thought and then decided how they could 'crank up' the visuals, intensity, or price of the games. So from a game-perspective, I give it a high score (they clearly had a lot of money to spend on the show).

What shocked me most (but shouldn't have) is how utterly unintelligent, shallow, and incredibly immature 99% of the contestants are. There's really no reason for people to be crying (!) when they have to make a decision about something! It's the people, contestants, that ruin this show. I'm very worried for the future of this country based on the immaturity of these people. It doesn't make for a 'good show', it just make me glad I don't know, or work for, any of these people.
