Beast Games Season 2 Episode 8 dropped on Amazon Prime Video on February 11, 2026, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about episodes of the season. The title said it all: “Would You Steal $1,000,000?” This time, there were no heavy lifts or wild obstacle courses. It was all about choices. Ten players stood around a shared $1 million prize, and one by one, they had to decide, take money for themselves or leave it for the group.Right from the start, the mood felt tense. Trust was tested in real time. Before the episode aired, Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, wrote on X, “I gave 10 people the ability to split $1,000,000 or to screw over each other and try to steal it all in the new Beast Games episode! Almost have the $5,000,000 winner go watch :D.” That message made it clear. This was not just a game. It was a test of loyalty.

Nick and Monika’s big decisions change the game in Beast Games Season 2 Episode 8

As the round played out, players began making hard calls. Nick, one of the final-stage contestants, chose to take $250,000 from the shared pot for himself. That movement changed the room at once. The remaining players had fewer financial resources to fight over; doubts started going about.Then another shock arrived. Monika carried a potent coin able to alter the game’s course. In a private moment, MrBeast offered her $500,000 to give it up. She agreed. At first, no one else knew. But as questions started flying, suspicion grew. By the end of the episode, Monika was accused of taking the deal. Instead of backing down, she stood firm, which left viewers with a cliffhanger.Now, only two episodes remain. Episode 9 is set to release on February 18, and the finale, titled “$5,000,000 Decision,” will arrive on February 25. Fans are waiting to see whether Monika’s secret fully comes out and how the remaining players respond. Meanwhile, the show’s ratings have been mixed. According to IMDb, Episode 7 holds a 3.4 out of 10 score. Outside the game, MrBeast also addressed criticism over his partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation, calling some online claims “conspiracy theory nut jobs” in a public post.With trust broken and millions still on the line, Beast Games Season 2 is heading toward a dramatic finish.
