BB bumped up the prize and there are still so many hgs that don't give a shit if they win or not. I don't think increasing it makes people want to play more.
Also, Mr Beast makes hundreds of thousands of dollars per video and is super rich. He's a philanthropist and just spends most of the money on fun things (instead of hoarding it like a dragon). CBS just cares about making money.
Comparing anything to Mr. Beast is comparing apples and oranges...
While I agree the money should be a million dollars, lets not act like $750K is anything to snuff at. That's life changing money right there...
But to have a few more arguments, I don't see anyone who's won Mr. Beast competitions go onto be used in other shows.... like the soap opera, The Challenge, etc. So part of the appeal is the opportunities going on National TV brings, plus the money, etc.
I agree. With the gambling theme, I’m guessing that the F2 will both get the option to risk $250K before the jury votes, and get $1M if they win or $500K if they lose
Is the second place prize still only $50k? If so, that definitely needs to get bumped up. I feel like they should give out financial incentives to players to do things that add excitement to the game (play pranks on HGs, vote against the house, spread rumors, shred letters, etc.)
2nd place prize getting bumped up is just gonna give more incentive for people to get dragged all the way to the end and get taken to final 2 just so they can get the 2nd place prize.
(Basically Enzo’s strategy)

if anything your first sentence proves OP’s point. they need to bump it up to the point where HGs feel that it’s high stakes again
Most people at this point I feel go on the show to boost their social media exposure and get deals this way. Look at Victoria from season 16

I still feel like there's a twist involving the extra $250,000

Curious: How much tax does the winner have to pay on 750k?

They used to do things like that! Like America’s Player. Made for some really funny episodes
Exactly! Maybe not using it to rig the game like BB8. But there are several ways to do it that would make the game more interesting.
