At what cost would you save your friends? On Beast Games, it’s about half a million dollars.
During Episode 7 of Prime Video’s hit dystopian reality series, Player 539 was elected as captain for a challenge titled “Trolley Problem.” He was ordered to choose his three least favorite competitors, who stood on one train track. On the other track, there was a yellow Lamborghini Aventador. He could either pull the lever to “run over” and eliminate all three contestants or lose the opportunity to win the car. Unsurprisingly, he walked out with a brand-new Lambo. Player 952–who had already won an island in a previous episode—was an easy choice to take out.
Great question. First things first, you should check out the Lamborghini Aventador specs. (Did you know it only gets 11 miles to the gallon?!?) Then, you should choose what model you’re interested in. Then, you’ll need to find a Lamborghini dealership. Then, you’ll have to write a check. A pretty big one. There’s no price listing on Lamborghini.com for the Aventador, but the most recent info we could gather shows that the 2022 model ran somewhere between $498,000 and $813,500. That’s a spicy meatball!
The “Trolley Problem” games only got more brutal as the episode progressed. For the second challenge, Player 539 was chosen once again to represent his fellow contestants. This time, one side of the track featured three of his least favorite players, with the addition of a Tesla that contained a secret $100,000 in the trunk. He decided to eliminate the three competitors, and lose the Tesla, in order to save his best friend in the game, Player 359.
For the third “Trolley Problem,” the group decided to take a risk and choose a different captain: Player 865. One one track was best friends Player 539 and Player 359, along with a mystery player with a bag over the mannequin. On the other track was Player 865’s best friend. Player 865 eliminated the two boys, and in a shocking twist, she discovered she was the player under the bag also leaving the competition.
The episode ends with a final “Trolley Problem” featuring Player 830 as captain, the same player who gave up a million dollars earlier in the series to save her team. This time, she was presented with the decision to save two of her favorite players, or one of her friends and a player she doesn’t trust. We will find out her choice at the beginning of next Thursday’s episode on Prime Video. Ten players will remain to compete for the $5 million grand prize.
