Tommy Bracco has advanced to the next round of 99 to Beat. The Big Brother alum is one of 100 people invited to participate in the inaugural season of the US version.
99 to Beat is a game show that originated in Belgium back in 2018. This fall, FOX has debuted its first season in the United States, with new episodes airing weekly after The Floor (hosted by Rob Lowe).
Each week, the remaining contestants compete in physical and unique challenges. The goal is not to finish first, but to not finish last. It is a tagline used frequently during episodes.
Ken Jeong from the Hangover movies and The Masked Singer, and sports reporter Erin Andrews, host the fun new show. During each episode, four individual games and one team game are played, with players eliminated at the end of each game.
A $1 million prize is on the line, and someone must win 40 games to take the cash prize. Many of the games are unique, but some have been played for years; now taking the big stage on primetime television.
Below is a trailer for the first season that was released this fall.
