The Office (TV Series) Beach Games (2007) User Reviews

a fire walk for the heart

[rahenson1 · 10/10 · 15 November 2010]

The review for this episode was by someone who at the least doesn't like Pam. I won't claim to be objective either. But you're going to get a review from someone who loves that character rather than hates her.

Pam has tried hard all through season three to grow. We find out at the beginning of the season that she didn't marry Roy and has moved out on her own. When Jim comes back she's excited, but then disappointed when she finds out he's with Karen. She finally starts taking art classes. She hosts a show and no one except for Michael talks to her there. Oscar and Gil make fun of her art. Jim doesn't come. She's not perfect. She gets back together with Roy when depressed at Phyllis' wedding.

She literally walks across fire in this episode. And that's not the hardest thing (for her) that she does. She finally tells Jim he was right about them. Is it too late? I'm sure you already know the answer that it wasn't. When I watched the episode it was a couple of years after originally airing (I was late on the bandwagon). I knew that they'd get together some day. I didn't know when it would happen. But even if it had been a long time later I was so proud of her character for finally coming out with the truth she'd tried to hide so long.

I'm sorry the earlier reviewer didn't like the episode. If you're a fan of The Office I find it hard to believe (and the 6 other people who've seen that review agree with me) you'll dislike this episode.

Beach Games (#3.22)

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 2 January 2019]

Michael is invited to apply for a position in the corporate and takes everyone to the beach for a competition to decide who gets to be his replacement.

So much fun in this episode. Office as we know it at it's best. The competitions were just great. Stanley fighting Jim always makes me laugh! And the moment when Pam talk to Jim is beautiful. Just like the way he looks at her. I was only feeling bad for Toby as I always do, he was so ready for a fun beach day.

Juan films review

This is hands down, my favorite episode of the office ever. It is both dramatic and hysterical at the same time and honestly, this is the episode that I enjoy rewatching the most because the characters got some good stories in this episode and the part where Andy floats away with sumo suit was the funniest part and I gotta say, I will spend an entire week just watching this episode.

I see that this episode has amazing Imdb rating but I'm really not sure why. Whole episode was lowkey good just ending was amazing, not a lot to talk about this specific episode.

Beach Day

[vivianla · 21 November 2020]

Michael is on the phone with somebody and is told he has been offered an interview to work for corporate. Michael was acting silly on the phone before this and actually was offered the interview after the man sighed.

Michael has made a beach day for the office so that they can have a fun day before he has to tell them he is leaving if he does get the job.

They get on the coach bus and off they go to the beach. They sing songs. At the beach Michael has asked the candidates he had in his mind to be tribe leaders and to pick their partners.

Jim chooses Karen, Pam is told to sit out and take notes, Stanley is with Phyllis, etc.

Phyllis drops the egg early on and Stanley says thank you and goes to lounge.

Michael asks Pam to cook up the 800 hot dogs for their contest in ten minutes. Michael finally reveals for them to take it seriously that based on today's performance that person will get a regional manager's salary meaning they will be replacing him. He was offered an interview at corporate and says he is the most qualified person.

Stanley finally gets motivated. Andy wins the contest.

Next they dress up in fat suits and try to K.O. the other.

Stanley tries to smile and fake it but then says he can't do this and gives up. I laughed so hard.

Jim and Karen secretly call corporate themselves to ask about interviewing for the open position themselves.

At the end of the long day Michael has set up coals and the embers and fire scares me. That is the look of embers that scare me the most. He wants them to each walk on the coals.

Pam walks through it herself on her own and excitedly joins back with the group to tell them. She says she is trying to be more honest and wanted to express her feelings more. She asked them why didn't any come to her art show. Then she reveals to Jim she called off her wedding because of him and now it is all weird. Their friendship isn't fun anymore. She goes off to dip her feet in the water.

They ride back in the morning on the bus.
