Beast Games is a reality show that tries and fails to translate the style of MrBeast’s popular YouTube videos to a longer-form reality show.

this pretty much persuaded me to take a look cause if they think it sucks then it must be good.
Watch Beast Games - Season 1 | Prime Video
I gathered 1,000 people to fight for $5,000,000, the LARGEST cash prize in TV history! We’re also giving away a private island, Lamborghinis, and millions more in cash throughout the competition! Go watch to see the greatest show ever made!

What's that got to do with anything? A youtuber made a reality show and that show is being reviewed. I haven't seen it and I don't plan to, but it would be understandable if it didn't work in a tv format. It's not like the journo is roasting this youtuber simply for how he's running his youtube channel.

Let's get a balanced look. What the other side saying.

Pretty much the same. 1/5 from the Telegraph.
The focus is almost entirely on Donaldson. But all he can do is flash a personality-free grin and bang on about how much the competitors will trouser if they make it to the end. Good luck to them. Regardless of who wins, however, the big loser from Beast Games is surely Amazon, which has forked out $100 million on 10 hours of charmless nonsense.
Beast Games, review: $100 million worth of charmless YouTube nonsense
Mr Beast’s long-awaited Amazon Prime Video series is a deafening, joyless cash-dash

I found it surprising that Amazon blew 100 million on this.

I am watching the 1st episode and it's nonsense because people get eliminated without their input and nothing they can do.
It's not skill based at all. if they could at least go to other contestants and punch them in the face to get them from pressing the bribe button.
This structure kinda sucks. Player should have any input

Everything Mister Beast does involves some kind of Prisoner's Dilemma and arbitrary rule changes. I kind of agree with you, but I think his viewers enjoy the chaos. Plus since he's starting with so many people, maybe it's not so bad. After all, on a more "fair" show those extra 900+ people don't make it through the application process, which probably isn't inherently fair either.
The only recent game show I've watched at all is a little bit of the The Floor... which has ripoff Who Wants to Be a Millionaire music.. but the prize is only 250k for winning the whole season, and someone wins 20k an episode. That's just sad. And the gameplay is pretty stupid as well. Two people take turns identifying a picture. At least this has real prizes.
Yeah, clearly only a 2 of 10 because of "controversies", and sure enough, now that I'm reading the review, of course there is reference to "concerning allegations" that he has yet to "disprove". I also like how he acts as if this is somehow beneath regular reality TV, which has always been trash. Though having Asmongold co-hosting in the corner of the video does elevate it
