Who are the ten participants remaining in Beast Games Episode 8? MrBeast posts on X, announcing its release

Beast Games is a unique game show that takes inspiration from Netflix's viral series, Squid Games. The premise of the games is that 1,000 participants compete in a bid to win the grand prize of $5,000,000 by completing several challenges, tasks, and games. Throughout the series, the number of contestants has dropped to only double digits.

Now, shortly after its release, MrBeast posted on X, announcing that the latest episode of the Prime Video show was available for viewing. He wrote:

"$5,000,000 on the line and only 10 contestants remain!! New Beast Games episode just dropped :D"

The eighth episode began with the elimination of Deano and Jaz through the Elimination Train at the hands of Twana, as she did not pull the lever for the train to divert from the yellow track. Thus, the series now only has 10 participants. They are:

• Player 424: Courtney Ferris, court_ferris on Instagram
• Player 453: Michael Robert House, michaelrhouse on Instagram
• Player 566: JC, jcgallego333 on Instagram

• Player 930: Patrick
• Player 937: Emma Nelson, emma_k_nelson on Instagram
• Player 947: Yesenia Hernandez Jaime, yesithebear on Instagram

The next episode in the series is expected to be released on February 7, 2025, with the season finale likely on February 13, 2025. With each episode being released weekly at 3 am ET, the finale is speculated to have a longer runtime than the other episodes.

Interestingly, MrBeast has already expressed an interest in creating a Season 2 for the series, even seemingly confirming it while conversing during an episode of the Colin and Samir Show.
