Beast Games

Once again, I am standing on $5 million of real cash,

an unfathomably large amount of money.

But this year, competing for this money,

100 of the strongest contestants

on the entire planet.

Let's go!

Let's go! We here, baby.

- We here! Let's go! - Yes, sir!

Versus...

Oh, my gosh!

...100 of the smartest contestants in the world.

Smart, smart, smart!

You're witnessing the first time in human history

the 100 strongest and the 100 smartest have ever been in the same room.

Will it be brains or biceps that wins Beast Games?

Because only one of these 200 contestants is gonna win $5 million.

I'm Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, and this is Beast Games,

the biggest competition show in the history of television.

Who's excited for season two?

Team Smart, baby!

Let's go!

This isn't a competition. That money's mine, baby.

It's over. Anybody hear that came, might as well just go home.

I got three kids. I'm here to pay for their colleges.

Pay off my house, pay off my debts. Set my kids up for life.

- We will die for this money. - I will do anything to win.

It's strong versus smart.

I got a little bit of this too.

Think about the richest people in the world right now.

Would you say they're smarter or stronger?

You saw Team Smart. How are you feeling? Are you confident?

Buncha nerds. Buncha nerds.

These guys are all thinking about what they'll do with the money.

- Are you thinking? - No, no, no, nothing.

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

I'm a hall of fame martial artist.

I have a super high IQ. About the same as Albert Einstein.

How nonchalant she says that.

She has the same IQ as Albert Einstein.

- No thinking, just strength. - I'm buying a Lambo.

Buying a house. Rest is going straight on black.

My dad has cancer. I'm gonna pay for his treatment.

- I will win the $5 million. - Didn't you lose in season one?

This season is going to blow your mind.

We are giving away millions of dollars in prizes on top of the $5 million.

A literal island.

We built a city way better than season one.

We have massive obstacle courses.

We're shooting cannons.

An entire episode dedicated to Survivor, and by far the most physical

and psychological games you have ever seen in your life.

All designed to test these one of a kind players

and find out how far they'll go

to win $5 million.

Let's get into season two of Beast Games. Strong versus smart.

The smart contestants are currently exiting the stage.

Because for this first game, we are going to cut the 100 strong in half.

As I expected, most of you seem pretty confident.

But let's see how long that lasts.

Send us up!

Are we actually moving up?

Oh, my gosh.

I don't want to look down. Wait, this is kinda...

This is literally insane.

The first game will be taking place far down below you.

But how are you going to get all the way down there?

What could it be?

I bet all those smart people down there are figuring it out.

Open the trapdoors.

- What is that sound-- - Oh, oh!

Oh, my God.

- What? - Oh, yeah!

- Things are getting real now. - It's a little scary.

Below each of you...

is a rope.

And at the end of that rope are blocks attached to a weight.

And each player's weight is different

because they're customized

to be exactly one third of your body weight.

Your objective is to climb to the bottom of the pole below you.

Grab the rope with your custom weight attached to it, hoist it up to you,

pull the blocks off the weight and without falling, return to the surface

with the blocks and stack them in the color order I tell you.

What?

The heaviest weight that I see is 98 pounds.

That's crazy.

I just wonder how we're gonna get in.

'Cause if you take one wrong step, you just fall, dude.

If at any point you fall, you will be eliminated.

But the first 50 of you to make it back up and stack your blocks

will be moving on to Beast City.

Game time, here we go.

All right. We are about to begin.

All right, go time. Seven pounds lighter, baby.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

You know what this reminds me of? Being back in high school

and sneaking out of my house, scaling down off my roof.

Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad.

Pay attention. The color pattern you'll be stacking your blocks in is...

Yellow. Red. Blue. Green.

Go!

Here they go.

Oh, my God.

All right, everyone is now climbing down their trapdoor.

They're going quick.

You're watching the strongest people on the planet in action.

Oh, my God! Look at 'em!

What are you doing? Keep going!

This game looks really hard because it is.

But remember, these are the strongest of the strong.

It's crazy to see how strong everyone is.

Some of these people can lift cars.

Others are Ninja Warrior champions.

Bro, she's upside down.

Oh, my gosh. Wait. I think he might be the first one up.

- Yeah, baby. - Oh, now you're two. They're coming up.

It only took about a minute and a half

for the more agile, strong contestants to stack their blocks.

- Yellow, red, blue, green, baby! - Oh, you win it!

And press the button. Press the button. You're the first one to finish!

And you're the second!

- Come on! - Guys, come on!

We are done, baby!

- Whoo! - You're number ten!

Bro, I was trying to hold both sides of the rope.

One of them fell. It barely hung on.

Oh, my God!

Yellow. Red, blue, green.

Now, that was way more of a challenge than I thought actually.

- It was way harder than I thought. - Let's go.

Within two minutes, 16 of the 100 strong...

I'm going to the city!

...had already completed the challenge with ease.

And as for the rest, two kinds of people began to emerge.

Those willing to push their bodies

to the absolute breaking point

for a shot at $5 million.

And those whose bodies had already broken.

People are falling like flies.

- What's the hold up? Pull it! - It's heavy, dude.

- I'm trying. - Pull it!

Locked in, baby!

Gosh, dang it!

Are you struggling to pull yourself up?

- Yeah. - There's still slots left.

- You gotta dig deep. - It's so slippery.

- It's $5 million! - I know.

There's still 15 people climbing.

Make that 14.

Keep trying, don't give up!

I'm trying, but my hands are sweaty.

I can't do this.

No.

Keep climbing, brother. Keep climbing.

We're running out of spots.

Keep climbing!

Let's go.

And at this point, there are only two more spots available

for the strong to move on to the city.

Don't give up.

And as for the few that are still left climbing at this point,

- they've been climbing... - I don't want to go home.

- ...for over 20 minutes. - You got this!

- Keep going! - Push! Push!

Push! Push!

Come on, John, keep going. Keep going!

- You got this! - Come on, Sonya!

Let's go. Let's go.

- Let's go. - One last push!

Come on, Sonya, let's go.

Just climb it up. There you go, John.

Come on, John, keep going. Keep going.

Let's go, let's go. She's gonna make it.

She got up to the ladder. She got up to the ladder.

- No! - Oh, my God!

No!

- You gotta be kidding me. - Keep climbing.

You got this. You got this. You got this. No!

You're right there!

One last push!

Come on!

One last push.

Let's go!

The strong game is coming to an end.

And...

right about...

now...

there is only one player still climbing.

- Go! - Come on, 110!

But by the looks of it, soon there may be zero.

Player 110, if you make it,

you move on to Beast City with the gymnasts,

the Ninja Warriors, and all of us.

But if you fall, your chance at that $5 million will be gone forever.

So, what's it going to be?

I got three kids. I'm here to pay for their colleges.

Here we go, here we go.

Yeah!

Go, 110! Go, 110! Yeah!

After 27 minutes,
