’99 To Beat’ Fans Debate Whether Peter’s Win Was ‘Rigged’
Fans question the fairness of Peter Nevins' $1 million win due to an unstacked domino and unclear rules on using all dominoes, a finalist confirmed not all were required.
- On Wednesday night, Peter Nevins was crowned Season 1 champion of 99 To Beat, securing the $1 million prize by knocking his setup down first, while fans disputed fairness over an unstacked domino.
- Some viewers argued, as Miranda, a finalist from final six, said contestants didn't need to use every domino, though episode footage didn't show that detail.
- The show matched Nevins against Wagner in a timed stacking task where they lined up large dominoes on the contest podium, with Nevins still having a few dominoes on the ground when he knocked his setup down after retrieving a nut tool from ice.
- A fan who posted a photo of the stray brick after Nevins' win circulated it online, prompting social platform users on X, Reddit and others to call the result 'Rigged' and vow to stop watching using #99tobeat.
- Now streaming on Hulu, Season 1 of 99 To Beat keeps the finale accessible, while ambiguous episode rules may prompt scrutiny of the 99 To Beat producers' disclosures.
