I am standing on $5,000,000 of real money. The largest grand prize in entertainment history, and competing for this $5,000,000 are these 1000 contestants! -[cheers] -Come on in!
[Mreast] What you are witnessing is real. A record breaking number of a thousand players is currently stampeding this arena. But only one of these thousand people you are seeing will have what it takes to beat everyone around them and take home this generational wealth of $5,000,000 dollars.
-Welcome to Beast Games! -[cheering] [woman] I grew up homeless, and now, I want to help other homeless kids. And that $5,000,000 would mean everything to help me get there.
[man] If I win $5,000,000, I could use that to make passive income for the rest of my life. It would provide me the opportunity to retire my dad. The difference that money can make and how it can support community.
Completely getting my whole family out of the poverty pipeline. There's a lot of clowns that want to donate the money. I'm buying jet skis and gold chains.
I will die for this. I will die for $5,000,000. [Mreast] This is gonna be crazy.
Everyone’s so excited. Good luck, man! This show is bigger than anything you could ever imagine.
We’ve got the most players, millions of dollars of cash prizes, on top of the $5,000,000. We're giving away a Lamborghini and a multi-million dollar island. We even built an entire city.
I'm Mreast, these are my five friends, and what what you're about to see will blow your mind! Before the games begin, I have an offer for all of you. Most shows have a grand prize of $1,000,000.
But on our show, we're going to give away $1,000,000 before we even play the first game. -[cheering] -Bring out $1,000,000! [dramatic music playing] [register dings] It's going to take a second.
$1,000,000 is a lot of money. There's currently $1,000,000 in cash sitting in front of me. Throw ten minutes on the clock.
You will have this ten minutes to make a decision. Stay in the game, or press the button on your tablet and eliminate yourself. -[groans] -Those of you that eliminate yourselves will evenly split this $1,000,000 I'm standing behind.
So if only one of you eliminates yourself, you'll become a millionaire. But if 50 of you eliminate yourselves, you'll each get $20,000. So be honest, do you really think that you are that one in 1000 player, the rightful champion winner of that $5,000,000?
Or do you want to take the easy way out and walk away with money while you still can? Start the timer. [overlapping chatter] What will my family think?
If I say “no” to so much money? Take the deal. Take the deal.
Yeah. I mean… It’s a lot of money… I will not leave this podium. I will not go home until that $5,000,000 is mine.
-[chatter continues] -[boom] [Mreast] Oh, we got one! [woman] Oh, my God! He did it!
We got our first taker! Steve! As of right now, you're a millionaire.
-But, oh! Someone else hit it! -[boom] Alright, now you’re only a five-hundred thousandaire.
-[beeps] -[booms continue] [man] That’s crazy though, bro, because imagine you're walking into a casino, you would never get that in a million years… [Mreast] We are halfway through the time! Right now, if you press the button, -that's $250,000. -Heck, no.
You're not gonna leave for $200,000? -No, I’m not-- -$200,000? I’m not leaving.
It’s just not worth it now. I mean, I-- I'm not taking the bribe. No chance.
I'm here for the long haul till the end. -[yells] -Do you think I'm gonna take the deal? -No.
-No way, Jimmy. No way. This dude's crazy.
You're pressing it? You're pressing it? Why not?
It's getting a lot of people out right away, and that's less people we have to compete against. -This is too intense, man! -We're staying!
-Are you sure? -Yes! -[man] I don't know!
-Think about it! There’s two minutes left! Oh, there goes another one!
I ain't taking nothin’! [Mreast] Bro, 90 grand’s a lot! That's cute compared to the $5,000,000 that's over here.
Under one minute remains. [dramatic music continues] -Don't you dare. -[laughs] [laughing] Get out of here!
[intensifying noises] -[clicks] -[booms] I should not have done that. I should not have done that. -Ten seconds!
-You should press it now! -[Mreast] Hey, y’all are crazy! -[yellling] Ah, come on, buddy!
Hit it! Hit the button! -No way!
-[cheers] Are you serious? No way. [Mreast] In the end, the total amount of button presses was 52 people which means… Congratulations!
You each just won a little under $20,000! -[cheering] -All 52 of you are now eliminated. I have a feeling a lot of these contestants still in are gonna regret not taking that money, because this next game might be the most cutthroat thing I've ever done.
Should’ve took the money. Would this money change my life? Absolutely.
Do I want to see a pirate ship? Do I want to live in a city? So much more.
♪ I'm ready to go to the city I’m ready to go to the city ♪ ♪ I'm ready to go to the city ♪ I do not belong here. I don't know how I made it here. I have no strategy.
[laughs] I'm done. [Mreast] To the 948 of you that rejected my offer, there is no turning back! The Beast Games has now begun.
[cheering] [dramatic music intensifies] And for the first game, you will all be competing as teams. This row is a team. This row is a team.
This row is a team. You get the point. Each massive row of 80 players will be working together.
-[cheers] -Yeah, but I wouldn't cheer quite yet, and that's because in order for your team to move on, someone must sacrifice themselves. -Oh! -[Mreast] Meaning that they will have to, at their own will, walk away from $5,000,000, just so some of you can continue competing in these games.
Really thinking right now, I probably should have taken that $20K. So if you didn't take the money to go home, why would you sacrifice yourself for the team? I feel like I have to sacrifice myself.
I just want people to know I really do care about them. And I wish more games were like that. So… [overlapping chatter] I'm not going.
I know you're not going. I know he's not going. -Who gon’ bite the bullets?
-[man] I'm not touching it, please! Someone for the greater good of the whole team has to leave. -What's it look like down that way?
-It won't be me. Nobody? Holy… [Mreast] Oh, yeah, and guys, one more thing.
This game has already started, and it will not end until the last three rows to eliminate someone will all be eliminated together. Only nine of the 12 rows will be moving on. Come on!
Click it! Click it! Click it!
-[yells] -Come on! Oh! Whoa!
That was quick. -Let's go! Safe!
[laughs] -Congrats! Wait, come on. Please!
Please! Please! -What's holding you back?
-Somebody else might do it. Somebody! Over there, just somebody, push the button!
[yells] What do we do? What do we do? Come on!
-[cheering] -[man] Let's go! Don’t forget me! [cheers and yells continue] Yeah!
Let’s go! -[shrieks] -Let's go! Let's go!
Come on, guys, or we’re all gonna go! Press it! Press it!
[buzzes] -Two! -I’m not going! -Darn it!
Press it! -Please, press it! Please!
Please! Please! Someone press it!
Press the button! Press the button! [piano music playing] [yelling] -Please!
-[man] Oh. One more, one more left. Press the button!
Press the button! Press the f****** button! -[cheers and yells continue] -[music continues] [sounds fade out] -[yells and cheers] -I did it.
[dramatic music intensifies] -[wails] -[man] Yeah! You're welcome. Win!
Win! For your family… Please… Win for your family… I'll play for you, okay? I got this.
Okay, I got it. I got it. Yeah!
Yeah, baby! We made it! We made it!
Our whole row was just eliminated. My wife is still in there, and it only takes one person to win that $5,000,000, not two. Good luck, babe.
All the kids and I will be rooting for you at home. I'm trying not to cry. [laughs] -[man] Yeah!
Yeah! -[cheering] -I love you! -I love you!
In a very platonic way, I love you. -You took one for your team. -I did.
All of these people deserve a chance to win. Whoa. How are you feeling?
Um, I’m sad. Everyone in your row, give her a round of applause for sacrificing herself. [applause and cheers] [clicks and beeps] [screaming] -[yells] -[woman] Oh, my God!
-[yells] -Oh! Oh, my God! [yelling continues] [cries and yells] Now, a lot of you are probably wondering, is it even possible to drop 80 people at the same time?
And the answer is yes. Drp the row.
