I typically really like game shows/reality game shows, but man, I just don't like Mr Beast's style. I'm not even talking about his controversies necessarily, but just as the face/showrunner he annoys the fuck out of me, seems so damn smarmy and fake, even by celebrity standards.

No, but I have started watching Kaiji, which is what Squid Games was based on. I also want to go back and watch Zombieverse 1 and 2 at some point.

the show is horrific in the way it treats people who are desperate for money

its exploiting the pain of others all so a narcissistic jack ass can lord over them and laugh at their suffering while he profits off of it

apparently Jimmy Donaldson lost money on beast games, but you could argue it is a long game I guess

no no he did not loose money

the publicity he gained alone will make him tons of money

also amazon funded the show

No.

And I'm fed up of Amazon pushing me to watch it, just like I'm fed up of Netflix pushing me to watch wrestling.

I haven't done anything to suggest I give a single shit about either.

anyone really desperate for money could have just taken the 20k in the first 10 minutes of episode 1.

lol I had a feeling CE would hate this >_>

I don't watch MrBeast(or any youtuber) or know anything about him really besides what I've seen posted on CE, but so far through 4 episodes I don't see anything wrong with him or how he's treating contestants. It's a game show, not everyone is gonna win. It actually has had more small prize winners than probably any other show.

There's definitely a certain amount of emotional manipulation involved, but I'm pretty sure a lot of the crying and drama is encouraged by the directors the same way it is in any reality show. Like, no one complains about all the lying and backstabbing on survivor, it's probably the main reason most people watch. I checked online and apparently they only filmed for like 6-8 weeks, but people are already saying they love each other in the 3rd episode?

The games are pretty fun though.

There's at least one class action lawsuit from those contestants (alleging abuse, mistreatment, and sexual harrassment) that would disagree with you.

Supporting Mr Beast doing shows like this is like supporting Donald Trump when he was on The Apprentice. Stop giving money and attention to people like this. We know how it ends.

I had to google this and apparently you're correct

so I have to retract my previous comments, because it sounds like a(literal at times) shitshow.

It just feels like any other game show that is over produced with that "fake" feel. My nephews enjoy watching him and his content though.

yea it's a decent enough watch. not something worth watching again after the first time. same with that squid game gameshow they did unless they came back with a new season.

they definitely could have done better making you care about people. but instead they'll have like the "main" characters but then most get eliminated and try to get you invested in this random other group. which i mean going from 2000 players is hard to do but the last few eps when it got down to 21 and especially when it got to the top 10 you do start getting some attachment to characters.
