Beast Games

...too many forced emotional moments and cliché talks about integrity, fairness, conscience, and women's empowerment. In this reality show, those who preach fairness often apply double standards-like in a recent episode where contestants could anonymously take as much money as they wanted from a pile. Many criticized those before them for being greedy, yet they themselves took an bigger share of the remaining balance.

The cast feels bland and lacks diversity. While the games are decent, it's odd to watch a high-stakes competition with only one final winner, yet constantly hear moral lectures instead of smart gameplay discussions. The tone just doesn't fit the nature of the show.

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 gotten addicted to South Korean reality shows following the original "Squid Game" and MAN, do they make ours look stupid. Every one is either a test of raw talent, physicality, or intelligence and almost every contestant is unique and compelling.

In these American knock-offs (the dreadful American version of Squid Game and now "Beast" games) it's hundreds of the dumbest most useless people they could find, apparently. Is this commentary on our country or just a failure of the casting folks?

Seriously, a "score at least a 100 IQ" to get in would have made this infinitely more watchable. As it stands it's an endless parade of neck and face tattoos and a sea of people with little to no reasoning capabilities, and all of the "games" are mostly just another reskinned version of the prisoner's dilemma or just plain dumb luck.

Come on America, we can do better than this.

5/10 because I have to justify how I've watched all four of them so far and will probably watch the rest. Lol.
