"Genuinely insane": Beast Games fans react to the Trolley problem challenge

Beast Games Season 1 Episode 7 featured a Trolley Problem challenge. During various rounds of the task, different captains were chosen. At first, the participants chose Akira, aka Player 539. He then chose Players 182, 952, and 626 for the elimination.

Soon, the three participants were placed on the Red track while Mr Beast placed a brand new car, Lamborghini, on the other track. Soon, the twist was revealed: Akira, who was chosen as the captain, had to choose between saving three contestants or a Lamborghini.

Player 539 chose to save the car, which resulted in the three Players, 182, 952, and 626 going home. Regarding the Trolley problem challenge and its results, Beast Games fans took to social media platform X and shared their views.

A fan wrote on X:

"#Beastgames is so peak man wow this trolley problem challenge is genuinely insane who the hell thought of that."

Another fan wrote on X:

"Listen @MrBeast I f*ckin love Beast Games definitely the beast Competition Show I've really ever watched, but you gotta stop playing these games where people just choose other players fate on who gets eliminated & who stays… just feels lame to me."

One more fan commented:

"Twists another level? Pick a leader for the 10th time. Predictable eliminate your friend or some random player..Yeah look forward to it but it's running it's course 10 episodes may be too many for this show. How they gonna fill 3 hours left of episode to eliminate 10 players?"

A user reacted to the trolley problem task:

"It's an interesting quandary but it is not even close to what the trolley problem actually is. I've enjoyed the show so far but saying this is "The Trolley Problem" is stupid, since that's an actual historical experiment and not at all like what's shown here on Beast Games."

A netizen wrote on X:

"@MrBeast and Beast Games has me yelling at the Tv. How does the trolley problem episode end? Ahhh. #BeastGames #BeastGamesOnPrime."

A person commented on the platform:

"#Beastgames is so compelling. I do'nt think there was much strategic thought from the players during the trolley problem, not understanding that players had to be eliminated one way or another and punishing Akira for nothing. And acting like they wouldn't have done what Deano did."

A user wrote on X:

"I highly disagree, twists were on another level and it was way more entertaining that seeing who can throw a coconut the closest. "Said no one ever" Bro the episode has been out for a hour yet you still were eager to watch it."

Another user reacted to Akira's gameplay:

"The trolley problem was brutal. Akira played his game and made his choice. Moral lesson: everyone will say anything until they're the ones making the decision. People have to be eliminated and that's the game. #BeastGames."

An X user mentioned the trolley problem:

"I'm dying at the one player who is 100% convinced that the random player on the track in the trolley problem can ONLY be them #BeastGames #BeastGamesOnPrime."

One more fan shared a similar comment:

"I'm not sorry at all but this episode left a lot to be desired. The execution of this trolley problem was exactly that, a problem. By far, my least favorite episode of the season so far. #BeastGames."
