Not sure where else to put this. Mr Beast is alleged to have caused multiple people health problems including seizures and worse in his newest challenge he is filming, He is having 2000 people compete for 5 million dollars and its completely disorganized.
Archive your shit. That aside, good find. If true, this is looking like a double horrible pr whammy for Mr. Beast he might not be able to reputationally recover from, considering that the facts against Chris are finally coming to more eyes as well. Article highlights below.
Superstar YouTuber and philanthropist MrBeast (nee Jimmy Donaldson) is filming his new Prime Video series, “Beast Games,” in Las Vegas.
“Beast Games” is an upcoming reality competition show where 1,000 contestants will compete for a $5 million prize.
The production is using Rio and Luxor for staging, and about 2,000 people are being transported to Allegiant to film a segment of the show on July 18, 2024, pretty much as we’re writing these words.
Of course, everyone involved with the production is under NDAs (non-disclosure agreements), but we are Vital Vegas, and we didn’t sign a damn thing. Nothing happens in our town without us knowing about it.
Transporting 2,000 people in a bus caravan to Allegiant is tough to keep under wraps.
2000 ish people being moved to two different huge Vegas casinos by bus. What could go wrong?
Oh.
The format of the show being filmed in Las Vegas hasn’t been revealed, but give us a minute.
MrBeast says think “Squid Games,” but “on steroids times a billion.”
We do know the show will feature “physical challenges, as there was a call for “paid testers” by an audience and seat filling company recently. The ad offered Las Vegas locals $150 and a free meal to run, jump and pull ropes.
More top secret scoop: MrBeast is staying at Resorts World.
Another fun fact: Contestants on the show have been spotted at Rio wearing garbage bags, presumably to cover the uniforms worn on the show.
MrBeast bought out Plaza downtown. Here’s a look at some of the aforementioned contestants wearing the aforementioned garbage bags. It’s hard to imagine people would suffer this indignity just for millions of dollars.
A tweet link is provided showcasing this.
Well, that's not that bad, kind of embarrassing for the contestants, but nothing more.
But wait, there's more!
Update (7/19/24): In a concerning twist to this story, a source claims Desert Springs Hospital “has seen countless patients today coming from ‘Beast Games’ due to lack of food and water.” We have reached out to MrBeast and his publicist about the situation, no further information is available at this time.
Update (7/20/24): We heard back from a MrBeast representative, who stated: “MrBeast was working on an upcoming video with three medical issues out of 2000 participants. Two were medical events unrelated to the games or production, and one involved dehydration. There was plenty of water and electrolyte drinks on-site and a full medical staff. Personnel attended to the people immediately. They were all released shortly after and are doing well.”
We’ve received contradictory reports about the conditions during the production of “Beast Games.”
A hospital employee told us, “I’m aware of three or four hospital evacs today. Overnight shift said it was insane, so not sure if or how many hospital evacs there were. The production is a shitshow and unprepared for the scale. Making decisions as they go along. The bare bones medic staff on site is not adequate and were overwhelmed last night. They compete at night.”
One contestant reports, “Contestants were instructed to provide producers with five days worth of medications, and as of today, contestants have not received a single dose. They have denied food to diabetics, denied water to contestants, and at least two individuals have had seizures as a result.”
The MrBeast representative says this information is “inaccurate.”
The article goes into a little bit more, and I'm sure some of it's hyped up, but the comments on the article, surprising to even see in 2024, are concerning at a glace, but bizarre. Can't tell if someone's set up a bot to troll or if these are comments from some sort of raid.
Can't tell if some are an inside joke from either Mr. Beast fans or potential A-logs.
Comment with a decent sized reply thread -
Another with a couple replies -
With all of this weirdness, I'm not sure if I'm buying their word, and the comment thread seems to be trashed. Might be worth an A&N thread just to see if anyone else can dig up some evidence.
Edit: Went ahead and made the
thread, if nothing else just to archive it on the farms.
