Meanwhile, those who did nothing wrong were sacrificed, such as 10 whose friend betrayed him. In order to further their own interests, the 50s group were willing to look past this in order to save their own skin. Despite his antisocial behavior in the previous games, 54 managed to survive the round by making an alliance with the other 50s. In the MrBeast video, while players were given the chance to vote out those who have been dishonest or cruel, justice wasn’t served. As Thomas Jefferson said, “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” This reflects real-life democracy, where group interests are prioritized at the expense of the individual and of universal justice. “The fifty-year-olds were determined to eliminate people and they had the most voting power by far.” Through banding together, the fifty-somethings managed to ruthlessly eliminate all the seventy-year-olds from the game. One player said, “If I don't vote for ten, they’ll vote me out” and another commented that “if he stayed the whole time, he could win.” In only two rounds, the general motivation shifted from justice to short-term gain.įor the remainder of the game, the fifty-somethings formed an interest group that voted in lockstep in order to eliminate perceived threats and keep each other safe. However, the general rationale for his elimination was a lot less noble and a lot more cynical. In the second round, the ten-year-old was voted out. Seventy-four was the one who got the boot that time. This part of the game offered a thought-provoking analogy for how voters act in a democracy reflecting how people vote for their own interests and form strategic alliances in order to do so.Īt first, the vote to eliminate was almost split between two of the players, 54 and 74, both of whom had previously lied or shown cruelty towards other players in the first round. In one of these tasks, all the participants had to vote to eliminate ten of the players.
The goal was, through various tasks, to progressively eliminate participants until only one person remained, who would win a glorious prize of $500,000.
Each age had one representative who had to stay in a glass box to remain in the game.
