What is Buddy Games about?

Buddy Games is an American reality TV series hosted by Josh Duhamel, which premiered on CBS on September 14, 2023. The series is based on the film with the same title and involves elements of strategy, endurance, and teamwork. Within the show, six teams, each formed by four friends, compete against each other in an array of tasks designed to test their physical prowess and mental acuity. The competition format is structured in rounds, with the winning team of the first challenge gaining a strategic edge to sabotage another team during the subsequent task. This interplay of competition and strategy intensifies the stakes as teams must not only strive to win but also navigate the impact of sabotages. When teams face the elimination round known as the 'Loser's Last Stand,' they confront a tough decision, either to eliminate one of their members or to self-elect for elimination. The dynamics of teamwork and alliance-building are crucial elements of the game, especially as teams shrink in size. A team that falls below three participants is immediately removed from the competition. The series follows a progressive elimination format, ultimately leading to one team emerging victorious. With challenges varying each episode, the teams are constantly tested, ensuring a dynamic and engaging viewing experience for the audience.

The first episode of Buddy Games aired on September 14, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on November 02, 2023.
