If the A+ list YouTuber had spent a few bucks hiring professional reality show producers he would not be facing tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits over his latest venture.

Beast Games
@foxellacomMrBeast alleged contestant speaks out, claims unfair teams and contestants being depressed. “I was prepared and willing to kill myself” “MrBeast just wants to psychologically disturb people”
Filming for MrBeast’s new Amazon Prime game show, “Beast Games,” has begun, but there are complaints about poor conditions on set. Contestants and crew have reported insufficient food and water, safety concerns, and unfair games, according to Vital Vegas.
What is ‘Beast Games’?
In March, YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) announced “Beast Games,” claiming it would be the largest game show ever, with 1,000 contestants and a $5 million cash prize. MrBeast described the show as surpassing his most significant YouTube videos.
Controversy Details
In July, the show started reducing 2,000 potential contestants to 1,000. Some contestants reported issues with accessing food and water and injuries during the filming. A MrBeast representative stated there were only three medical issues out of 2,000 participants, with two unrelated to the games and one involving dehydration. They assured there was plenty of water, electrolyte drinks, and medical staff available.
Content creator Rosanna Pansino shared on TikTok that she received complaints from crew and contestants about the filming conditions. She noted that the games were not as fair as portrayed, focusing more on speed and strength than being on an even playing field.
MrBeast has not addressed the allegations directly. A representative dismissed the claims as “inaccurate.”
