Beast Games

Shut up!

Oh, my gosh, they're both so freaking close.

- Better hurry, Mitch! - Let's go, Mitch!

Both teams have been building these towers all night,

and all of it was for the moment you're about to see right now.

- Come on, Mitch! - Come on, Johnny.

Johnny, if he could stand up...

Whoever grabs the flag first moves their team onto the top 50.

But one wrong move costs them and their team a chance at $5 million.

- Let's go, Mitch. - Stand up, Mitch.

He has to stand.

They are both too afraid to stand.

You gotta stand up!

If Mitch stands up, he got it.

Ah, Mitch, are you gonna take the gamble?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, he's going up. Oh, my gosh! Mitch!

- Mitch! - Come on, Mitch.

- Let's go, Mitch! - Oh! Oh, my gosh.

- He's going for it. - He's right there.

- Oh! Oh! - Go for it, go for it!

- Mitch has got it. - Do it!

Johnny! Are you gonna sit down and lose, or take a risk?

Johnny, you've gotta jump!

Oh, my gosh. He's gotta take the risk.

- Johnny's going for it. - Johnny, you're so close!

Oh! This is now or never. $5 million on the line.

Mitch, you're almost there. Johnny! He's going for it.

He's going for it!

Oh, no!

Come on, Mitch.

That's it, that's it, everybody. Yellow team wins.

Yeah! Yeah!

Oh, my gosh, my heart.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness.

That was a nail biter.

The pink team has lost.

And with it, four OGs have been eliminated.

That's a hard way to go.

Good job, man. It's a great job. Great job.

That was the toughest job

that you can go for, okay?

Look at him up there. He's a freaking beast. Let's go. Mitch!

You did it.

- We did it! We did it, we did it. - Bro!

We did it.

And so, yellow team is moving on.

Yes!

- Let's go, yellow team moving on. - Let's go! Yes!

Joining the winners of the balls game, the balance game,

and the bluff game from last episode.

You are all in the top 50!

One of these 50 people will win that $5 million.

Throw up the timer. You will have 12 hours to get some rest.

Little do they know, that in 12 hours, they'll be competing

on one of the craziest obstacle courses you've ever seen.

And after that, we'll be testing their greed with a familiar game.

Only the strongest alliances will make it to the end of this episode

and enter the top 25 players.

At this point in the competition, there are now 28 strongs.

- Team strong is pretty stacked still. - Yeah.

- 19 smarts. - We barely have any smarts left.

- They took out a big hit. - And even fewer OGs.

Let's face it, we're the outsiders coming in.

Hey, absolutely.

Like you can't come in and make enemies when everyone has their opinion

based off how you presented yourself.

So they may think good of you, they may think,

"Hey, I just want to get rid of you."

And for me, I'm in a very precarious situation, right?

Because I'm coming in as the quote-unquote "villain."

- I took $650,000. - That would change my life forever.

I mean this with respect to the OGs, but it's like, dude, you had your time.

Let somebody else have the same moment you had last season.

I just don't vibe with them being here.

They'll just keep sliding under the radar.

Make it somehow to the end.

Some friendships formed in previous games were holding strong.

I would like to stay with Tyler.

I ain't gonna do you dirty, buddy.

You're gonna be my brother after this.

I feel like the strong team, they're better competitors.

They work under pressure better. They're here to win.

I've not really been on a sports team since basketball in eighth grade.

You know what I mean? So we're not used to that.

There's no secret why majority of those that are left are from the strong side.

You know, it's the competitive aspect of it and mental fortitude.

If you're a really smart person, that's great.

But in a game like this, you need to have that X factor.

You need to have that mentality.

I would not be shocked if there's a point in time

where it is all strong people in the city.

There's a lot less smart people than strong people.

As we go onto future rounds,

since there's gonna be less smart people,

those are going to be now the valuable picks.

The loudest person in the room isn't always the one with the right answer.

Like just because we're being quiet, that could be strategy.

And this is new Beast City.

It feels the same but feels very different.

It's a completely different vibe.

These people have strong relationships,

like I can only imagine if I were in their shoes, kinda going,

"Yo, why are these guys back?"

- It's territorial. - Oh, yeah.

Even the people who I've connected with, I hear my name.

- Jeff... - Jeff...

I definitely think we'd be a feather in the cap

- if people took us out. - It's gonna be an interesting season.

Attention, contestants, meet me at the sand pit.

If you look behind you, you will see that there is still one hour left on the timer.

There was 100 of you.

Now, there's 50, and in 56 minutes, there will be 25 of you.

Jimmy!

'Cause on the other side of the city, there are ten podiums.

All 50 of you will have to form ten teams of five.

Once your team is set,

stand together on one of the ten numbered podiums

to lock it in.

It's up to you to decide. Do you want strong people?

Do you want smart people? Or do you just want people you can trust?

Oh!

Good luck.

The top 25, insane.

Half the people are gonna be gone.

- There is a wheel there. - What is it? Trivia, chance?

We don't know.

When it came to picking teammates,

different groups had different ideas of what was optimal.

Like which strong and which smart players they would have on their teams.

I think we should go three strong with two smart.

So we just need somebody smart.

While others prioritized people they thought were trustworthy.

I think trust is the biggest thing here.

Yeah, I'm gonna work hard. I'm not going to quit.

I think you know you can trust Jeff that he's not gonna give anybody up.

All right, let's do this.

Some OGs found that their previous experience

made them desirable teammates.

So you care more about the loyalty than the money?

I have money already.

Mia came back in this game for a reason, to lead us to the top 25.

But others found that the way they played in season one stained their reputation.

JC, I don't know, bro.

I don't know, bro.

I know. I got a black cloud hanging over me.

JC on our team is really stressing me out.

JC, who screwed his entire team for $650,000 last season.

I'm with 152 over there.

I can't ditch her and just leave her out to dry.

I will not send anybody home for a bribe.

I have a really bad feeling about this.

No, no. I've got a really good feeling about JC.

- Oh, my God. - I really do.

The one thing he always said was he would never send anyone home for money.

He's giving us trust. We're giving him redemption.

JC, I swear,

if you cook me, I swear, bro, I swear, I swear...

I promise you, man.

While some teams were eager to lock in their teammates...

- You guys feel locked in on this team? - We locked in. Girl power.

...others focused on building the best team they could.

- What if we try to go pull somebody? - Who?

- Tyler. - Tyler! Tyler.

Even if it meant stealing a player from a different team.

We're trying to pull you.

They pulled him to talk to him. I think they're trying to pull him.

Forcing other players to decide what mattered more to them. Friendship...

- You're red. - All right. You're blue.

I got you. Don't worry.

...or increasing their odds of winning.

Ah, man.

I think he's justifying staying with us. Staying with me.

We're talking the life of your game in their hands.

I think he's an honorable guy. I don't think he'd do that to me, so...

- Y'all got me. - Yeah?

- Oh, really? - Yes, let's go.

Not a betrayal, it's a decision, I guess.

Oh, so you're switching teams?

I wanna see you break the news to them 'cause they're waiting on you.

- You're their fifth. - Make it quick

and know that you're coming back to us.

I gotta go with Ian and Bryleigh over there.

- All right, Ella, you're with us. - All right.

Oh, you got Ella? She's good. Good luck, good luck.

I wanted to be paired with him 'cause I trusted him.

It just kinda shows maybe who he truly is.

Maybe the bad karma will hit him.

Maybe he'll just get eliminated this round.

Three, two, one. Stragglers!

Three... two... one...

your teams are now locked in.

By the end of this game, we will have our top 25 contestants.

You'll have a four percent chance at winning one of the largest cash prizes

in history!

Yeah, top 25!

And it's very simple. Chandler will spin this wheel.

And on the wheel are the numbers one through ten,

representing the podium numbers your team is standing on.

Whatever number it lands on will come forward
