Beast Games

 February 11, 2026


Dear readers,


Reality TV is never about games or real life, but in Beast Games that is different. Beast Games has life lessons that help people who are watching or even on the show. Some of the lessons are more about human nature, and how they can overcome the challenges and obstacles of life. An example of a good lesson in Beast Games is, being hard working, and having a great mind set to overcome and change your point of view in life. However, Beast Games is not just about being physically hardworking and mentally tough. It is also about how people react in a group when extreme challenges happen and put contestants against each other and against the chance that they walk away with nothing. 

Some of the reasons people want to be in Beast Games are not just the prizes but when you are in the shows you can learn so many things even when you are not in school. If you win, your life could change completely because you would win a large amount of money. But, at what cost? In one challenge, a contestant was given the opportunity to walk away from his entire team and take the team’s pot of money, which was several million dollars. He did not face a challenge that was physical or mental. This challenge tested whether he put himself over the team and the chance to wait for the team to win more money later. He chose himself. When he was interviewed he said he felt guilty, but he would do it again because it changed his life entirely and the life he had with his family. This contestant’s human nature was revealed and he put aside any peer pressure from the group and his need for survival, and want of money for himself and his family won.

Beast games show human nature at its best and at its worst. On the show people are quick to team up and find their “friends”. But what are their friendships based on if you know very little about the other contestants? It seems that friendships are based on what people can do for others to get them to the finals, which is a lot like middle school. Betrayal hits these friendships the hardest. Contestants are always surprised when they are betrayed, but the betrayal seems like it cannot be avoided. What are the odds contestants need other contestants to get farther in the show and then when those odds are too much, the relationships fail. 

Overall, Beast Games has so many unexpected life lessons and is great entertainment for people who are watching because it shows human nature in extreme circumstances. Beast Games shows what happens when people are challenged with touch choices and tough obstacles. The show creates more drama because the challenges and obstacles are large, the prize money is life changing and the sets look fake. Beast Games adds in peer pressure and creates more drama so it is even more exciting to watch. Beast Games not only changes the lives of contestants but also changes the way people see life. I think this TV show is a good way for people to learn life lessons and have fun doing it.


Sincerely,
