    Why any of these? I am confused. Seems like anyone living in a gym and being paid money would lose weight. They all sound pretty stupid.

      Jimmy is a fucking idiot. See any of the behind the scenes stuff and weird attempts at making Beast Games work. No planning, no actual experience with logistics, game design, filming, editing, etc.

      He’s just some schmuck with money, and people keep giving him more.

        To his credit, he did come up with the perfect formula to get kids’ attention. If you look at his first videos and compare it to the recent ones, it’s insane the difference. Nowadays there isn’t a wasted second, no moment for a thought to begin to bubble in your head.

      Because it’s not supposed to make sense as a game concept. It’s just supposed to generate a video that will get clicks. That it doesn’t make sense for the actual contestant isn’t a factor.
