Episode 9 of Beast Games, titled Bribe Your Way To The Finale, aired on February 6, 2025. The episode saw four contestants—Queen, JC, Patrick, and Michael—eliminated after failing to secure votes from other players. Patrick, also known as Player 930, was at a disadvantage because he had no money to bribe others, leading to his elimination.
Fans of the Prime Video reality show expressed disappointment online. Many believed Patrick deserved a spot in the Top 6. One fan wrote on X, “Can’t believe 930 took no money and got eliminated with nothing. He deserved to be in the final 6.” Another fan commented, “I feel bad for 930. He took $0 and still got no votes. Sometimes, being selfless doesn’t help.”
Others criticized his game strategy. Some felt he made a mistake by not taking money from the Black Box in episode 8. One fan wrote, “930 was clueless since episode 8! He over-strategized. He needed money to bribe people but ended up with nothing.” Another added, “He forgot it was a game show where people backstab each other. You take money when it’s offered!”
In the episode, Patrick tried to form a strategy to secure votes. He suggested alternating picks by gender, hoping it would increase his chances. However, the plan didn’t work in his favor.
Jeffrey won the second round, and when it was time to bribe for votes, Patrick had no money to use. As a result, he was eliminated alongside Queen, JC, and Michael.
Fans continued to express their disappointment. “He left with nothing while others who took money got further. Not fair,” one viewer posted. Another said, “Patrick’s selflessness cost him the game. He should have played smarter.”
The Beast Games finale will air on February 13, 2025, on Prime Video. Fans are eager to see who will win the competition and take home the grand prize.
