One hundred contestants go head-to-head in a range of visually distinctive and hilarious games in an arced competition game show like we've never seen before. "99 to Beat" is the game show that anyone can win, and there's only one thing players must do for a chance of walking away with the cash prize: Don't. Finish. Last. As contestants battle it out against each other, each round sees the number of players whittled down until one person is left standing and they take home the life-changing top prize of $1,000,000.

If you're looking for something lighthearted and family-friendly, this one won't finish last. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Sep 29
99 To Beat should be more exciting than it is, and we wish the hosts actually interacted with the contestants instead of just providing commentary. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Sep 24
B-
Most of the challenges are still visually interesting enough—and start and finish quickly enough—to not make their simplicity a deficit, and together make for a fun hour of competition TV. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Helen S @RT89911172 Oct 2 The UK version of the show is just so much more fun! I’m disappointed with the bland hosting of this US version. See more Ayana B @RT86794943 Sep 22 Fun to watch. The games look intense See more Michelle S @RT70334550 Sep 22 A fun show taking seemingly simple tasks and asking people to do them under pressure for a shot at a million dollars. Very diverse cast with someone for everyone to connect with. See more James M @RT57001626 Sep 22 The show is fast paced, with lots of challenges. The fun thing about watching the challenges (as opposed to the challenges on other reality TV shows) is that viewers can picture themselves doing the challenges or try out the challenges at home. There was some introduction to a few of the characters, but I would like to see more as the show unfolds to create more suspense and drama. See more Read all reviews
