“It might be controversial, but are you okay with all the articles and stuff coming out?” the contestant asked. MrBeast’s reply highlighted the inaccuracies circulating in the media: “Obviously, there was a lot of things not true, like they’re saying there are broken bones, and they’re saying we’re paying people hush money.”
Furthermore, MrBeast encouraged contestants to share their thoughts on the reported issues. The overwhelming consensus was that contestants had not experienced any negative occurrences during the qualification rounds in Las Vegas.
One contestant expressed her thoughts, stating, “We agree, we didn’t see any of that. I just thought it was really ridiculous.” Another participant echoed this sentiment, noting, “It was disappointing for sure because we knew that wasn’t the case.”
The group unanimously shared positive experiences, indicating they were eager to continue participating in Beast Games.
On December 19, the first two episodes of Beast Games premiered, garnering immense support from viewers. Many fans praised the show, calling it an ideal family-friendly entertainment option for the holiday season.
