A thread to discuss MrBeast and his various “projects”.

Legal boxer mentioned controversies and it seems like there is recent controversy as well.

That's a shame. I always wondered why all of his assistants on the Beast Games show were male. It does seem he has an issue with women.

Jimmer, thank you for this new thread. I was sad to see the first two posts were negative posts about MrBeast. I'll read the link Kar supplied later.
After learning about MrBeast through a Survivor 50 episode in which he up'd the winning pot to $2M by the flip of a coin wanted me to learn about him.
I watched a YouTube about MrBeast's buying a grocery store and giving away food for free to reduce the crowd in the store which was offering 50% off groceries that day. Those shoppers left decided to stay and win big money. I found this video interesting. I don't think I could live in a store for all those weeks.

Sorry about the negative post.. I read what Legalboxer said about their having followed him until a controversy, so I searched and quite easily found what happened in 2023, and that a lawsuit was filed quite recently, in April.
It is an important issue and shouldn't be covered up, especially since this new connection with the Survivor fanbase, and Jeff being an obvious fan and pretty obviously wanting the Mr beast fan base to add to the Survivor fanbase.. It is, I think, important to know who young people (and voters) are seeing as role models.
One article mentioned that some contestants felt pushed into dangerous or unhealthy situations by the company, and that the men laughed about female contestants having to go without menstrual supplies ( or having to drop out ).. 
But it IS interesting to see how far people will go..

I would also note that Jeff appeared on the last Beast Games and ran a Survivor style challenge for some of the last remaining contestants. One of them won an island.

It looks like a private island in Panama was won on two seasons, but in both cases the winner took a cash prize.. One stated that the island was just that, no running water, uninhabited 60 acres.
I could see some of the survivalists from Alive actually taking an island like that!
