So I just watched the finale and for it to come down to that game for over 4 million dollars, I would vomit. My nerves are shot just watching it. I can’t even imagine the pressure of being in the final 2 and doing that. 

Anyone else watch it? You can sign up for next season. 

The Kid I currently do not have netflix but if I enjoyed the original show (which I did) would I enjoy the reality show?

I haven’t watched it but I’ve just several TikTok’s of contestants complaining how they felt exploited and mistreated. The irony is lost on them.

I enjoyed it but I’m also a fan of reality competitions and loved Squid Games.

I still enjoy Survivor and the Amazing Race but have not gotten invested in other reality shows lately.  Being a fan of the original this one looks intriguing.

I posted in the TV thread saying I was enjoying this but it got markedly less engaging as the episodes went on. All the interesting players were eliminated early which hurt the entertainment value. The silver lining was at least you could tell it wasn't rigged because there's no way a producer would have chosen those personality-exempt people for the final few.

They also needed to come up with a few more games that involved strategy and skill rather than pure luck, watching people roll dice, press buttons and play rock paper scissors was just boring.

Yeah started great, ended badly. The fact the ending was all basically chance was lame. I see why so many involved shit all over it on Tik Tok. Great concept, but it really needs to be strategic. The main tactic they should have used in the second half was basically just do not engage with anything. Avoid all you can and you were statistically more likely to survive most of the games in the second half.

I would very much like to see them do Challenge / Survivor like challenges to eliminate groups. Do not even bother to copy the original games, make new ones that can done with large groups where the losing group is cut entirely.

I would also do something like 10 rounds and everyone left split the prize.  See if people will cooperate for a fraction of the potential winnings, or will eliminate their allies for more cash.  

I enjoyed the show generally, but would agree that it ran out of steam. I don’t think it was the people so much as the show losing the thread. The game was entertaining, people talking about their sob stories before the show started want. Everytime the camera would go to the hallway that preceded an old interview they’d given I would groan. The last few episodes were way too drawn out.

I also think they did a good job of building characters to make the first few episodes entertaining but sacrificed some of the ending by not making the finalists into characters we noticed until the middle of the season or later.

My favorite moments I think were the ones where players would literally choose to kill the whole group rather than make a decision. The pair at marbles especially were brutal. People are dumb.

Just glad 278 didn’t win after her bridge bullshit.

Generally share feelings though, latter episodes weren’t nearly as fun, outside of the mystery box round.
