Headscratchers / Brooklyn Nine Nine S 2 E 03 The Jimmy Jab Games

• Why does anyone keep eating expired food after Boyle drops out? The only requirement for progressing to the next round is not being the first to fail. Is there some bonus for being the last to quit, that we don't see because Scully won and then dropped out anyway?
  • Presumably it's a pride thing, you only need to not be the first to fail in order to win, but that doesn't mean they don't want to prove who's tough enough.
  • Gina's pre-game description does say "The loser of each event is eliminated from the games. The winner gets a bonus in the final round." Even though it makes sense that we didn't see the bonus from the first round due to Scully dropping out, it's weird that no mention was made of the bonus Jake should have had from winning the penultimate round. It could be that Amy won bulky bulky run run and so the bonuses canceled out, but it seems unlikely that Amy won any pre-final events given the rest of the dialogue.
