Beast Games: Betrayal Looms in Million-Dollar Test
11 Feb
Summary
- Ten players vied for $1 million, testing loyalty with tough choices.
- Nick took $250,000, causing immediate distrust among others.
- Monika's secret deal for $500,000 left viewers on a cliffhanger.
Beast Games Season 2 Episode 8, released on February 11, 2026, presented a high-stakes test of trust with the question, "Would You Steal $1,000,000?" Ten players confronted a shared $1 million prize, each deciding whether to secure personal funds or preserve the group's potential winnings. The atmosphere grew tense as loyalty was challenged.
Early in the game, contestant Nick opted to take $250,000 for himself. This action instantly diminished the available prize pool and heightened suspicion among the remaining players. The game's dynamics shifted dramatically with this personal gain.
Further complicating matters, Monika received a powerful coin from MrBeast. She accepted a $500,000 offer to forfeit the coin privately. Although initially secret, suspicions arose, and by the episode's end, Monika faced accusations, leaving her situation unresolved.
Two episodes remain in Season 2. Episode 9 is scheduled for February 18, followed by the finale, "$5,000,000 Decision," on February 25. The show's ratings have varied, with Episode 7 scoring 3.4/10 on IMDb. Separately, MrBeast dismissed certain criticisms regarding his partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation as conspiracy theories.
