It’s going to be the biggest cash payout in reality TV game show history. Mr. Beast, a guy who is apparently the biggest name on You Tube because of gigantic productions with extreme challenges and huge giveaways. He’s worked out a deal with Prime Video and created The Beast Games which will have a single $5 million payout. There will also be 1,000 contestants.
The average number in a reality contest right now is around 12 contestants.
Mr. Beast hasn’t said how the show is going to go, but he clearly has a plan because he mentioned how he was given all the creative control to make it happen.
I doubt it’s going to be like Squid Games. He already did something like that on YouTube. It doesn’t look like they’ve started taking applications to be on the show yet either.
If I’m being honest, when we have billion dollar lottery jackpots, $5 million sort of doesn’t sound like a lot. It kind of seems like a lot of work beat 999 other people to win. Plus, you have to schedule the time off from work, make travel plans, pay for airline tickets, and keep quiet about it until they announce a winner. That’s………. just sooooooo many hassles. I might do it for $10 million, maybe.
