WHAT IS THIS! The Beast gave contestants trash bags to wear for filming ‘the biggest reality TV show
YouTube sensation Mr. Beast promised the next big reality competition show and he was seen in Las Vegas making a dramatic display as he bussed 2,000 contestants
It’s really happening — Mr. Beast is taking his challenges to the next level.
The YouTuber was seen working on his latest project, a version of Beast Games made for Amazon Prime rather than his former social media content. According to a press release from the streaming platform, the show “is set to become the biggest reality competition series, where 1000 contestants will compete for a $5 million prize.
It will be a lucky moment for someone in Las Vegas where Mr. Beast was revealed to be filming lately. In fact, an audience and seat filling company put out an ad for paid testers without specifying if it had a connection to the content creator’s plans, meaning the contestants probably didn’t know who they were working with at first.
Jimmy was later spotted putting together the crazy challenge, according to Vital Vegas. The contestants were reportedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, but that didn’t stop leaks from happening after the whole ordeal was seen by others.
Despite the brief glimpses, it’s still unknown what the structure of the show will be. In the past, Mr. Beast has replicated challenges similar to the Squid Game, but no word yet if that could be what to expect for the big show.
2,000 people were transported by a bus to Allegiant Stadium. However, they were also spotted at the Plaza wearing trash bags. Filming is also going down at The Luxor and The Rio Hotels.
Even those who lose aren’t going home empty handed, though. It was advertised to expect an 8 hour work day which comes with $150… unless they win the prize. Plus, they’ll be getting a free meal by participating.
In a statement from Amazon, Mr. Beast said: “My goal is to make the greatest show possible and prove YouTubers and creators can succeed on other platforms. Amazon gave me the creative control I need to try and make it happen. I hope to make the YouTube community proud.”
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios. said: “Mr. Beast has captured the attention and imagination of fans of all ages, from all walks of life, and all over the world. We are excited to work with Jimmy and his talented team to bring his brilliant, high production, and stakes-raising concepts to Beast Games for our global customers to experience.”
