So much prize money has already been award on season two of Beast Games and we’re not even halfway through the season yet!
Episode four featured a crossover with Survivor, with one contestant winning a private island valued at $1.8 million.
The episode began with the competition being narrowed to the Top 21 after JT, Player 126, took a bribe for $1 million, eliminating the other four members of his team.
10 players then received the opportunity to go the island to compete for the prize, while the other 11 players had to stay in the city and relax.

Jeff Probst joined MrBeast on the island to host a special Survivor-themed competition to determine who would win the $1.8 million prize.
For the first round, the contestants were split into two teams of five and had to complete a challenge that was modeled after one of Survivor‘s immmunity challenges. The team that won advanced to the next round, in which each player had to hold onto a pole. The two players that held on the longest, would advance to the next round. The other eight eliminated contestants became the jury.
JC (Player 566) and Ian (Player 148) convinced Ethan (Player 21) to drop and take a $50,000 bribe, which many fans are calling the worst decision in the show’s history as he was not struggling and would have easily been one of the challenge’s winners.
JC and Ian pleaded their cases to the jury, but it was pretty clear that JC had no chance of winning. He’s a returning player from season one and he became a villain last year when he won $650,000 by backstabbing the rest of the players.
So, who won?
Ian won the island!
Ian won the island, which is valued at $1.8 million. It was a unanimous vote, with all eight players on the jury voting for him.
Reddit users have noted that Ethan would have won the island if he hadn’t taken the bribe. Ian was just about to fall off the pole when he agreed to take the bribe. If Ethan was against JC, he would have won the island with no problem.
New episodes of Beast Games will premiere weekly on Wednesdays at 3am ET through February 25.
