They have been heavily marked down at the Club last time I saw them.

Just watched episode #3 of the Beast Games, not bad.

 

The psychology of the main game here was interesting, and the way most teams chose to play it.

 

I would not have expected so many that had the final and worst outcome.

Episode #4 was good.  A few foolish people.

 

I don't really think I'm spoiling much by telling you the episode ends with about a dozen contestants trying to evade capture by 4 navy seals.  Whoever stays hidden the longest wins the $1.8M island they are on (off Panama).

Today's Beast Games episode had some pretty good psychology involved.

 

Then when they started the second game of the episode, it seems to me the advantage was held by the person deemed "greedy" in the first contest of the episode.

Im so glad Jesus got eliminated a couple episodes ago. He was so annoying.

Tonight's episode was quite interesting, especially when he brought everyone inside the house.

Have to admit I’m hooked on beast games. I haven’t watched a reality game show since the early seasons of survivor.

I will say however, in 20 years we will probably look at this kind of psychological torture with the same disdain with which we view the Stanford prison experiment today. There is some serious mental anguish happening in these games - and while it’s not illegal, it’s probably not right! (It is highly entertaining though)

Why do you think he triggered you so much?

I did not mind him.

 

I quite like the guy with tattoo face.   He won some physical challenges easily.  Took the 2nd-most money when they all had access.

I liked him more than the other ‘spiritual’ black lady (952?). She was selfish, nasty, and mean. Professional victim.

The guy with no money to buy votes now, not sure how he is going to do.  Or the ones with $5000 and less.  Surely those three with some big money ($100,000 and more) will be able to buy some votes, to get into the last 6.  And I think the guy with the big money, he is feeling guilty enough to spend some to secure the votes he needs.  I think they already foreshadowed someone phoning him and asking for $150,000 to get their vote.  I think the female with $100,000 might be able to get votes with no money spent*.

 

There are 10 people left.  6 go through.  I'm not sure exactly what the rules are here, do you vote for 1 person, other than yourself?  Or do you vote for 6**?  I need to know more about the rules on this current game.

 

* but if it's only one vote per person, that vote can be bought away.

 

** if it is only 1 vote per person, there are only 10 votes cast.   But surely any deal would also be "you vote for me, I vote for you".  Not sure where this gets us.

This is a pretty good prediction (possible spoiler) for the final 2 and the winner based on interviews and screen time each episode.

Interesting.  I actually liked when he came over to the two big money guys and had that conversation.

 

He's like, are you discussing remorse, or justification?

Hollywood wants its next 'Beast Games'

• It's not just "Beast Games." Streamers are ramping up the search for influencer-led content.
• Agents, producers, and creator-side execs report an uptick in interest, mostly in unscripted shows.
• Warner Bros. Discovery's Max unveiled on Thursday a reality series starring Jake and Logan Paul.

YouTube superstar Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson made a splash in December with his Amazon Prime Video series, "Beast Games," but he's not the only creator being courted by Hollywood. Industry insiders tell Business Insider that streaming services and studios have been on the hunt for influencer-fronted content in recent months.

Why do you think he triggered you so much?

His obsession in turning everything into religion and church like speeches.
