The surviving bar table season 4 has come to an end after more than a month.
The game is based on Survivedbrings some of the biggest names in Barstool Sports under one roof to compete — this time — for $250,000. The latest season, which ended on Thursday, January 16, was full of firsts, from the number of employees who competed (24) to where the competition took place (at Barstool’s Chicago office).
Host Jeff D. Lowe said during premiere in December 2024 that founder of Barstool Dave Portnoy make up the main group of competitors.
“I have no idea what to expect, it’s a stellar line-up,” said Portnoy, who was also in the competition. “I don’t think we will ever gather this group of people in one room again. I’m excited.”

Whether they’re competing on TV for prize money or simply being filmed going about their daily lives, reality TV stars almost always get paid — and it can be bigger than you think. In 2021, Jason Tartick launched the “Trading Secrets” podcast, during which he focused on “breaking the stigma that we shouldn’t (…)

Previously, the stakes were much lower. This season, the winner received $250,000 in cash, which was kept in the briefcase shown at the beginning of the season.
“I love the cast and I wanted to make it a worthwhile prize, where maybe some people who would be on the fence or not want to play would say, ‘Yeah, I’ll play for this,'” Portnoy said during the first episode of season 4 , with details of the top prize.

What is the drama of ‘Surviving Barstool’ and ‘Bussin’ With the Boys’?
Hosts of “Bussin’ With the Boys”. Taylor Lewan and Will Compton (who won The surviving bar table season 3 2024) were kicked out during the so-called “Pink Wedding” this season.
After their elimination, it was explained why Portnoy didn’t want any of them to take home the prize.
“Right now, ‘Bussin’ With the Boys’ the crew is in negotiations for the bag on the next contract,” Compton said during his confession earlier this month. “You have to think, if you’re Dave and Dan (“Big Cat” Katz)you can’t let the guys from ‘Bussin With the Boys’ run wild and win $250,000.”
After their elimination from the show, Compton texted Ciuffo about backstabbing Portnoy and getting him kicked out of the competition despite her alliance. She refused.
It has not yet been confirmed whether they have renewed the contract.
