Brief synopsis - Mr Beast of Youtube fame takes 1000 people and puts them through a number of challenges / tasks with the last person standing winning $5m
Anyone started watching this? I put it on over the break with nothing else to watch.... the kids loved it and I was very pleasantly surprised by it.
Despite being a stupid game show full of Americans it very quickly became a pyscological study of how people react when you put them in big groups and make them think they are relying on each other. Some of the decisions individuals were making were odd.
The game where they put 4 of them as 'captains' and offered them upto a million dollars... not to leave the game but to take the money and continue in the game but at the cost of sacrificing their own 'team' who they'd only been put with a few hours earlier - and not one of them took it. They're in a gameshow where they HAVE to beat every other competitor to win.
Maybe my morals aren't as strong

Just watched this with the gf, and we both agreed it would only work in America where the idea of “the dream/fame” works.
In the UK everyone one us is taking the 1m and saying cya.
Really enjoying it though
Myself and the OH were saying exactly the same. In the UK everyone one us is taking the 1m and saying cya.

While I admired their loyalty I simultaneously want them to leave with nothing for their stupidity.
