If your thing is to get a constant headache from listening to childish screaming hosts, overly exaggerating every single event, then this show is for you. Do Americans not know how to speak at normal levels? If you're easily amused, this is for you. This is a extremely bad version of the much better quality Korean shows. I couldn't even watch one full episode. And, as if the hosts aren't bad enough, the obnoxious contenders are just as bad and completely fake. It's as if somebody's daddy had a spare few million and gave it to his boy to play with as he wanted, without any skills whatsoever. Really painful show to watch. And you'll end up with a headache.
...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.

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.
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.
