Unfortunately he won’t. This is just press for his show now. It’ll draw more of an audience to watch the shitshow and net him millions and he won’t learn a thing.

About a dozen portable restrooms were set up on the field to accommodate the 2,000 contestants who were limited to the field’s confines.

And now you have to find an organizer who knows where they stored your spare underwear.

But that does bring up a glaring omission. Contestants had access to porta potties, sure, but nothing in this article mentions access to showers. 🤔

I think this is the key line to take away from the article that sums up what a massive fuckup this whole thing was, solely based on one person’s ego:

MrBeast producers had forbidden medics from being stationed inside the set—even during challenges—because they did not want to ruin the atmosphere, said April.

Apparently not, since they said you could hear bones breaking while cameras were rolling and someone had a seizure and was just left on the field for an hour.

Honestly, the whole thing sound like MrBeast just wants to jerk off to people getting tortured.

Is this the recent fuck up from that mrbeast guy? I knew he had legal stuff, but I didn’t care enough to look into it. I just was trying to be like the cool kids and kick him while he was down. I watch a whole Erik video about him and didn’t learn what he did. 😂 I was wondering when I would find out some details.

They collected everyone’s medication???!!! Wtf? What could possibly be the reason for that? Also collecting a change of underwear for 2000 people is just ridiculous.

Not having any system in place to keep track of what underwear belongs to any of the participants is just icing on the cake.

Why are you taking people’s medication and underwear and then mixing it altogether? Just to create chaos?

I am so confused by all of this.
