Television Beast Games

[harms]

Who would’ve thought that this format works way better when there’s a dozen people you know something about instead of a literal thousand of anonymous faces…

The last episodes were quite good, although there’s so much stuff that annoys me to no end!

The production value is great, they really edit it to maximise the drama.

Something happens in every single episode, I'm actually going to re-watch this from the beginning when it's over. Some great moments.

Can't believe the guy who risked a 1 in 6 chance of winning a life-changing sum of money in order to take that 50/50 coin flip where he could've been eliminated after getting so far. What a dope.

Perhaps the real Mr Beast is inside all of you

I thought the telephone bribe game was one of the lower moments of the series, in comparison to the other games which have taken place.

The coin toss at the end though.... you've come so far and then do that?!

Theory I’ve read is that given he had to rely on a bit of gameplay and trickery to get one of those 6 seats, he’s likely first out of the remaining players - so this is a way to circumvent that. Could just be he’s a natural gambler. But yeah on the face of it doesn’t make any sense.

That’s assuming popularity matters in the final 6, which could end up as a straight up contest. So still a stupid risk based on what he knew when he took it.

The only way it'd make sense to do the coin flip is if there was some pre-arranged agreement with the other contestants that if he won and the prize was increased from $5M --> $10M, then he'd get a cut (say, maybe $500k-2M) from the eventual winner. Even then, that's a stretch as he'd only have their word in a game centered around deception.

It's pretty clear the guy is just a gambler. His eyes were wide open when $10m was announced and logic goes out of the way for people who have that compulsion to do seemingly stupid things like risk it all when there's no need to.

He'll be satisfied when he feels his "luck" quotient is up, not by logical assessment.

Coin toss confused me, does he lose his place if it doesn't land on tails?

So he's taking all the risk in order to double the prize pot for the other players. They must be laughing inside, I'd have nothing to do with that coin toss.

They must have signed some agreement not to do such a split. Otherwise they'd have all surely come to an agreement by now.
