I loved this episode! Sam was breaking my heart. All his little expressions of fear and hopelessness...
I definitely figured the whole point of the human auction was way less about food and way more about sadism. Like, how many humans want to watch a cow get butchered if all they want is a hamburger? I figure it's more about monsters wanting to watch the kinds of kills their instincts want, but that they're too cautious to commit. The entire setup was about spectacle, not efficiency, and that made a lot of sense to me.
