r/BeastGames

I never seen survivor before this, obviously I have always know culturally of its existence and that was one of the first with this format but never seen a season.

After the crossover with beast games I was like let’s give it a try and I’m already watching my 3rd season (not watching in order) and the difference is ridiculous.

Survivor is proof that you don’t need spectacle and money to do a compelling and entertaining show. Beast games it feel shallow, there’s no character development and all the games really suck.

I hope Jimmy really learns from Survivor, cause is amazing how a show with probably less than a quarter of the budget can do 100 times better television.

>!I’m on episode 8 and noticed that 830’s visitor was one of the reactors on the People VS Food channel. Apparently Ashley is 830’s daughter? What a small world!<

all he did is to do whatever it takes to win? Isn't that the point of the show??

Anyone else going solo to the stadium shoot from another state?

I’m flying in alone and don’t know anyone in NC 😂

Would be cool to meet some people beforehand and maybe we can all sit together inside

I think beast games in an effort to make it a game for everybody with 200 contestants they end up not developing actual fun and challenging games. This last video about icing with my ex in an island for 30 days had games for the guys, physical and puzzles to test them. Why they didn’t went this way in Beast Games??

I’ve stayed quiet for a while, but after speaking with contestants from multiple countries, I think a lot of people came away from this process feeling disappointed and confused about how much influence the public vote actually had.

Many contestants genuinely believed this was a fan-driven process where communities could meaningfully help choose who would represent their country. People put huge amounts of effort into campaigning too. Some went live constantly, posted every day, rallied support from their communities, and pushed themselves far outside their comfort zones because they believed public engagement mattered heavily in the selection process.

At the same time, there were contestants who appeared far less active publicly yet may still advance further in the process. That contrast naturally led some people to question how much weight voting and engagement truly carried compared to other factors considered by production.

I understand there was always a disclaimer stating that final decisions were ultimately up to producers and subject to evaluations, logistics, and other requirements. That part is completely fair. A show of this scale obviously has many considerations behind the scenes that viewers and contestants may not fully see.

What has been difficult for some contestants is that the public-facing side of the competition created the impression that community support would play a major role in determining outcomes. So when highly active contestants with strong engagement, strong public support, approved visas, and clear audience appeal were still eliminated, many people understandably started wondering how the final decisions were being balanced.

From the outside, it sometimes appeared that contestants already based in the US or those with fewer logistical complications may have had an easier path forward. If logistics and production considerations were always going to weigh heavily, that’s understandable, but I think clearer expectations from the beginning would have helped avoid a lot of frustration and confusion among contestants and supporters.

The main frustration for many people is not simply rejection. Rejection is part of any competition. It’s more the feeling that contestants and their communities invested significant time, energy, and emotion into campaigning without fully understanding how large or small the public vote’s influence ultimately was.

And honestly, many of these contestants were genuinely impressive people charismatic, athletic, social, passionate, and highly marketable. You could clearly see how much effort and care they put into the opportunity.

I missed it, but I'm very curious about what happened.

So, were all countries listed?

Did all of them have candidates up for a vote?

Were there just names? Pictures? Audition tapes?
