Thirty Celebrities, One Red Circle, and a Million Dollars for Charity
MrBeast ミスタービースト
MrBeast (Jimmy) gathered thirty celebrities, including Kevin Hart, Howie Mandel, Paris Hilton, Steve-O, all four members of 5 Seconds of Summer, Diplo, and The Chainsmokers, and confined them to a red circle on a soundstage. The rule was simple: whoever leaves last wins $1,000,000, paid to a charity of the winner's choice. Over five games mixing physical risk, memory, endurance, cooking, and bluffing, the field shrank to one. Jimmy said the challenges were inspired by his competition series Beast Games. Kevin Hart acted as co-host for much of the video.
Mingling Before the First Game
The opening minutes showed the cast sizing each other up. Musicians drifted into their own corner. Someone joked about starting a DJ corner, since Diplo and The Chainsmokers were both there, and Jimmy said their songs had been streamed more than 50 billion times combined. Some players saw strategy in small things. One contestant thought Howie Mandel was "tryna do some mind games" by sitting on the floor. Jimmy listed Steve-O's past stunts, such as hot sauce in the eyes, hockey pucks, and snorting wasabi, and asked whether Steve-O would put hot sauce in their eyes again. Steve-O said it depended on the kind of hot sauce.
Game One: A Car for Your Biggest Fan
A wall opened to reveal five cars, the most expensive a $250,000 Lamborghini. Each car sat behind a hoop. Any celebrity could step into a marked circle and throw a dodgeball. If the ball went through a hoop, the celebrity's biggest fan, who had been brought to the set, won that car. If it missed, the celebrity was eliminated. Throwing was optional, so each player had to decide whether a fan's car was worth risking their charity's shot at a million dollars.
Comedian Jay Pharoah went first and aimed at the closer Tesla because the Lamborghini was farther away. The throw fell short, making Jay the first elimination. Calum from 5 Seconds of Summer went next on behalf of "the Five Seconds of Summer fans." The ball looked lined up but missed. More players followed and missed. A player called Ced was teased for not even winding up, and Jimmy promised that fan Uber passes instead. Drew of The Chainsmokers asked for the pressure and missed too, leaving the group "down to a Chainsmoker."
With four misses in a row, Jimmy said he didn't want to "go 0 for five." Diplo had earlier predicted "I think it's me," and turned around to throw. The ball went through, Diplo stayed in the game, and Diplo's fan won a car. That ended game one with 26 celebrities left.
Game Two: Choosing Strong or Smart
For game two, the floor split in half. Each celebrity had to commit to either a strength game or a smarts game before knowing what either one was. Jimmy tied this format to the second season of Beast Games, which pitted 100 of the strongest people against 100 of the smartest.
The choices produced some self-assessment. Several players said they were both. Eight-time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard said, "I'm not that strong anymore," and was told by others to go smart because of a knack for games. One contestant who was leaning strong said Paul Scheer could probably be beaten in a pushup contest.
The Smart Game: Memorizing a Tower
The smart group each picked a star on the floor and received ten colored blocks. Jimmy stacked a ten-block tower one color at a time: green, blue, red, green, yellow, blue, green, red, blue, yellow. Players had to memorize the sequence. Then the tower was knocked over, and the first six to rebuild it correctly from memory would advance. The rest would go home.
Alex of The Chainsmokers finished first. Yung Gravy was second and Audrey Nuna third, which Jimmy pointed out made three musicians in a row. Sal Vulcano of Impractical Jokers came fourth, Diplo fifth, and Howie Mandel took the last spot. A green star showed who had a correct pattern. Five players were eliminated, among them a contestant named Tiffany, who left saying they were going to a Chargers game to "find me a husband."
The cheating stories came out afterward. Dwight Howard had openly said "I'm gonna use my camera to record everything" and did record the tower. The picture was too small to read, though, and the answer was still wrong. Jimmy and Kevin offered a joke "message to all the kids at home": if you're going to cheat, cheat better. Then the others revealed that Howie had filmed the whole sequence on a phone. Jimmy said he hadn't noticed this during the shoot. When confronted, Howie said it was for pediatric cancer and dared everyone to call that terrible. After this round, 21 celebrities remained.
The Strong Game: Holding On to a Pole
When asked what they hoped the strong game would be, the strength group said pushups. Instead, a wall opened to reveal a Survivor-style endurance challenge. Each contestant had to cling to a pole while standing on its small footholds, and the first six to touch the ground were out. Jimmy said the Survivor theme came from a Beast Games Season 2 episode made in partnership with Survivor and co-hosted by Jeff Probst. Kevin demonstrated the position and called it easy. Jimmy pointed out that Kevin's calves were shaking.
Some players struggled almost immediately. Shoes were blamed for poor grip. Yvonne Orji was the first to drop and said, "I should've gone smart. I'm Nigerian, I got two degrees!" Lil Rel fell next. The WWE Hall of Famers the Bella Twins were both in the game. They said they had done leg day the day before, and eventually one twin slipped and fell. Luke from 5 Seconds of Summer was eliminated after that, and another player fell after slipping. For the last spot, Josh Peck held on while others shouted encouragement, said, "I did this for my son, Max," and then dropped.
Afterward the survivors argued that the pole was far harder than "stacking a bunch of colored blocks." One smart-game player said they had avoided the strong side after seeing that challenge on Survivor. Another said they had briefly fallen asleep lying in the pile of cash while the pole game went on. About fifteen players remained.
Alliances and the Villain Role
In the interview segments, alliances started forming. The musicians said they liked each other and were "taking the game." Eugenio Derbez said he and CarryMinati were both comedians and both from outside the US ("From Mexico. He's from India."), and suggested they team up. When asked who people wanted out, one contestant named Howie.
Howie seemed comfortable in that role. Howie said they didn't care how anyone felt about them, that they were playing for Alex's Lemonade Stand, a pediatric cancer charity, and that there was "nothing I won't do to win this." Howie described themself as a competition lover who most enjoys the stage where the numbers shrink and "now you gotta really compete." Another player called Howie's cheating brilliant: "If you can cheat and get away with it."
Game Three: A One-Hour Cooking Challenge
Next, the celebrities formed teams of three and stood in colored squares. The musicians grouped together. Eugenio, CarryMinati, and Steve-O called their team "the outcast," the old non-Americans. Steve-O noted being born in England. When the lights came back on, the set had become a kitchen. Before cooking began, Steve-O attempted a stunt over the protests of Kevin, who kept shouting "No, no, no." Jimmy jokingly declared it a "disqualification" and told viewers not to try it at home.
There were three judges. The first was Paris Hilton, introduced as an entrepreneur known for fashion who once hosted a cooking show. The second was Giada, whom Jimmy called an Emmy winner and "the face of cooking on television." Jimmy said Kevin had been asked to pick the third judge, with Gordon Ramsay given as an example. Kevin hadn't called anyone and appointed himself instead, calling that "using my head." Each team had one hour to make whatever it wanted on a golden platter. The two lowest-scoring teams would be eliminated.
Teams chose pasta with meatballs (renamed "Spaghetti and Beast balls"), chicken fajitas, and fried chicken sandwiches. Ally Brooke planned a chocolate pizza because it was one of the first things they had ever made, inspired by Giada. Howie's strategy was sabotage: find out what other teams needed and take it, such as grabbing all the mushrooms. Jimmy noted this "really didn't work out for Howie." One team began boiling chicken for fajitas, was told that wasn't how to cook it, and switched to frying a fresh piece. A team member blowing their nose near the food became a running complaint, and the judges brought it up later.
The Judging
The pink team, the musicians, served an "Asian-American fusion" fried chicken sandwich, artisanal donuts with a "Feastable reduction," and a cucumber salad. The judges said the chicken was cooked, crunchy, and properly breaded, and the team scored 26.5. The orange team presented an Italy-themed meal with a "Giada Burrata," the spaghetti with Beast balls, and a s'more. A judge found the meatballs dry and overcooked, and the team scored 24. The green team's chicken fajitas with a "secret sauce" guacamole earned praise, including another 10, and Jimmy said the score was high enough that the team was guaranteed to move on.
The blue team danced while presenting what the judges called cold Bolognese on cold pasta made 40 minutes earlier. Kevin brought up the "aggressive sneeze," and the team denied any sneeze had happened. The team scored 22, the lowest so far, and was eliminated. Kevin had given a 4, which Kevin defended as "being honest." When the team complained, Kevin was pushed toward the elimination portal as a joke, pleading to "finish the show."
Howie's yellow team came last. Their dish was billed as a Hawaiian "Poo Poo Platter," and Howie told a made-up story about a grandmother who had dreamed of winning a cooking contest, was "hit by a bus" two weeks earlier, and on her deathbed said, "Howie, take my recipe." A teammate protested that the team had put an hour into the food and that it "was supposed to be a chocolate pizza." The judges gave zero, one, and zero, but Paris gave a 10. Jimmy called it "a legendary crash out by Howie." Paul Scheer then said, "I'm Howie's ride," and announced a self-elimination. Jimmy said only he could eliminate people, but the lights turned red anyway. That left eight players.
Game Four: The Cube
The three remaining cooking teams went into separate glass cubes. Teammates were now opponents. In each cube, two people had to be handcuffed and one would advance to the final. The decision was entirely up to the players, and each cube had a phone for requesting anything they wanted. Jimmy said this format was "the most brutal thing" filmed in Beast Games, and that in Season 2 a group spent almost an entire day in the cube before deciding.
The requests got creative: a masseuse, Twister, darts, Connect Four, air hockey, puppies, a clown, and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. One cube discussed wrestling or jiu-jitsu, and a clown was brought in to coach.
The cubes resolved in different ways. In one, the first handcuffing came out of a dare involving Alex. The person cuffed said, "I was like, playing around with it, and he just locked me in it," and someone else described it as "deception." Audrey then won a Twister match and became the first player to reach the final. In another cube, Yung Gravy and Brie Bella went through several games. In darts, Gravy needed at least 25 points on the last throw, scored six, and lost to Brie. The tiebreaker was a puppy placed in the middle of the cube to run toward one of them. It went to Gravy. Brie said they didn't mind because the puppy was so cute. Jimmy admitted that even after doing this hundreds of times, it still felt strange to lock people in handcuffs.
The "outcast" cube went entirely to Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. CarryMinati swung with both fists, lost, and joked that "all the people in India are gonna stop watching." The deciding round between Steve-O and Eugenio ended almost instantly when Steve-O knocked Eugenio's robot's head up. That put Steve-O in the final.
The Final: Three Briefcases
Before the last game, each finalist named their charity. Steve-O chose Doctors Without Borders and explained that the group brings medical care to places where it isn't widely available. Gravy chose Noise for Now, which raises money for reproductive health organizations. Audrey chose Luminos Fund and described it as giving children who never got to start school a second chance at roughly three years of curriculum.
Three briefcases were revealed. One held the million dollars and two were empty. Players chose in the order they had left the cubes. Each could secretly look inside their case, and later players could take an earlier player's case.
Audrey went first and was alone with Jimmy. After some thought, Audrey picked #3 because "three is a magical number," looked inside, and when asked what was there, said "a pet rabbit." Gravy came next, knowing Audrey could take any case. Gravy questioned Audrey, who said the case was "very heavy." Gravy sniffed the cases and studied where the cameras were pointed. Jimmy said they also needed to film the losers. Gravy took #1 and looked inside. Jimmy said that if Gravy's case was empty, Gravy would now want Steve-O to steal it.
Steve-O could take Audrey's case, take Gravy's, or pick #2. Steve-O called Audrey "a stone cold killer" and "a deadpan individual," and asked whether Audrey's integrity mattered more or less than the donation. Audrey said they were equally important. Asked "You got the money?", Gravy said "Perhaps" and "Maybe." Steve-O read Gravy's broken eye contact and evasive manner as possibly overdoing the concealment. Audrey again said there had been a pet rabbit inside. Steve-O decided to "go with my first instinct" and stole Audrey's case.
All three opened their cases. Audrey's case, now Steve-O's, held the million dollars. The others told Audrey, "You gave it away!" Jimmy said he would wire the million to Doctors Without Borders and give $20,000 each to Gravy's and Audrey's charities so they wouldn't go home empty-handed.
In this video, I gathered Kevin Hart, Paris Hilton, Howie Mandel, and many more of my favorite celebrities. Holy mackerel. Enter our circle. And I trapped them all in this red circle. And whoever leaves last wins one million dollars! And that million dollars will be going to a charity of the winner’s choosing.
Alright, the game has started. Be behind the red line.
Good to see you, man! I'm a fan. Yeah, but thanks, man. Me too. And I watch your show. I watch Impractical Jokers all the time. Yeah? Thank you.
I'm Josh! How are you? Marsai. Pleasure. Hey, Marsai. Pleasure. I love you, I'm a big fan.
Is this the musician corner? That's exactly what we were saying. And we didn't get just one member, but all four of the pop rock global phenomenon, 5 Seconds of Summer.
Should we just have a DJ corner? Yeah! We also have Diplo and The Chainsmokers, whose songs, collectively, have been listened to over 50 billion times.
I think Howie Mandel really is tryna do some mind games by sitting on the ground. I have to go to the bathroom. Same.
You've done some crazy stuff in your life. I've seen you pour hot sauce in your eyes. I've seen you get nailed by hockey pucks. Snort wasabi up your nose. If I ask you to put hot sauce in your eyes, would you? Depends on what kinda hot sauce. The fact that that's his response is crazy.
Have you ever seen this many celebrities in a YouTube video? No, I haven't. Well, all these celebrities will be in challenges inspired by my ten-episode series, Beast Games. And season 2 is available to watch now on Prime Video.
Let's kick off the first game. Absolutely. It's go time! Open the wall!
Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay! A shiny car! That's not just one, but five shiny cars, including this $250,000 Lamborghini. That thing looks sick. That Lambo sound nasty!
For game one, if you manage to throw a dodgeball through any one of those five hoops, we'll give your biggest fan the car. Oh my God! No way! That's right, we have your biggest fan. All thirty of you have the opportunity to pay your biggest fan back with a free car. But if you step up and throw the ball and miss the circle, it does not go through it, then you're eliminated.
Oh! Open the circle! Oh, the circle’s back? It's like Fortnite. Once you step in here, it's official. So which one of you is going to risk elimination and a million dollars to give your biggest fan a car?
I got this, man. Oh, he's doing it! Comedian Jay Pharoah is our first contender. Bring in his fan! I got him! What's going on, Jay? What’s going on, man? Aw, man!
Which car do you wanna win him? Obviously, the Lamborghini is further away. It's gonna be that one. That Tesla? What does he have to do? He has to hit Kevin as hard as he can? What a idiot! Ignore him. Jay! Jay!
Oh! I was short! I knew that was gonna happen. He didn’t have enough strength. Our first elimination. Open the portal. Jay! Jay! Y’all got me going to Heaven! One celebrity down and 29 more to go.
Who wants to go next? Oh, no. We good. Oh really? Calum from 5 Seconds of Summer is giving it a shot. I got Calum’s fan! You either win her a car or you're eliminated. No pressure. This is for the 5 Seconds of Summer fans, baby. You got this, lock in.
It’s good! Oh! It was lined up! So close! You did us proud, babe. That was very brave.
And as more celebrities took their shot… I'm going in. Are you serious? Ah! The number of eliminations continued to grow. Ced, you didn't even wind up, man. I'm gonna give you a bunch of Uber passes.
And I was starting to wonder if any one of these celebrities… I want the pressure, I’m doing it. Oh, he wants it. Don't let me down, Drew! Would win their fan a car. Oh! Oh, no. We're down to a Chainsmoker. Yeah. Thank you guys.
I'm gonna go for it, I think. Yes! Diplo, you're gonna do it? Alright, he’s doing it! By the way, the coolest. I really want to give away one of these cars. We can't go 0 for five. Okay. Come on, Dip! You got this.
You know what? I think it's me. I'm gonna stand over here. I'ma turn around. Will Diplo win his biggest fan a car?
What did I just say? It was me. You're good. Diplo is back in the game! Oh, you got a car! You got a car! Yeah! Diplo, that's how you get it done!
Game one is now over. Everyone brace yourself for game two. It won't be as easy.
Someone's gonna get sloppy. They haven't explained it. Someone early on's gonna get sloppy, and they're gonna get eliminated. I kinda just wanna start pushing people into the red circle. I know, imagine!
Alright. What do you think's about to happen? We started physical. Gotta go mental. I feel like there's gonna be something psychological. Something more mental. Connect Four on fire. Connect Four on fire is a mental game? Yeah, I think. Yeah, yeah.
Are you guys ready for what's next? Yeah! Switch the floor to black. The circle is no longer red, which means you can all stand on it. I need all of you to stand on the circle around the edge. Twenty-six of you remain. That number is about to drop quite a bit. Change the floor!
For game #2, you get to decide between playing a strong game or a smart game. So if you step in this half, you're locked into a game of strength. But if you step into this half over here, you'll be locked into a game of smarts. This is all up to you. Are you a strong celebrity or are you a smart celebrity?
I don't know what I would do. I feel like I'm both. I feel like I'm strong and I'm wise. I feel like I'm smart. I think, right? Look at me. What do you think? I'm going strength. Really? I'm going strength. I'm going strength. Done.
NBA All-Star here, Dwight Howard… Howard throws it down! Dwight Howard, the eight-time All-Star. Is deciding between strong or smart. What are you thinking about? Yeah, I'm not that strong anymore. You see this? This means go to the smart.
Dude, you're good at games. I think you should go smart. I'm very smart. But at the same time, I've been working out, baby. Paul Scheer, I could probably beat in a pushup contest. Everyone here looks quite fit.
Okay, it looks like every celebrity has chosen a side. Let's go. And the reason why we're doing smart vs. strong is because in season 2 of Beast Games, we had 100 of the strongest people on the planet compete against 100 of the smartest people on the planet. If you think this video is crazy, wait until you watch Beast Games season 2. It is better than anything I've ever done. I'll remind you at the end of the video.
We're going to be kicking things off with the smart game. So strong people, follow me over here. And relax. Just relax. Have a seat. You can sit in that money, by the way. Just lean back. It's like a bed. Change the floor! I need everyone who chose the smart game to pick a star. Guards, bring in the game!
Wait, what is the game? Oh, shoot. It's a puzzle. Oh, no. Oh. See, I watched season 1. That's psychological warfare. If anybody's got a little bit of anxiety, this is normally when it kicks in.
This game is very simple. Beside each of you is ten blocks. I'm going to stack a pattern of ten blocks here while you try to memorize the pattern. After I stack ten blocks, we'll knock over the tower, and the six smartest celebrities to recreate my pattern with their blocks from memory will move on.
I’m gonna use my camera to record everything. The first color in the pattern is green!
Alright. What? Wait. Why are we applauding for that? He took a green— It was good.
Alright, everyone. The second color is blue. Then red. Green. Yellow. Then blue. Then green. Alright, the last three. Red, blue… Are you gonna be able to reach the top? Yes. Go. Yellow. Are you actually? I have very long arms! Go. Are you— Kevin, you got it? Here, here. I gotcha.
Alright. And— It's done! Alright, go for it! Go for it! Start building. It’s done! It's over! First six to complete it! First six to complete it move on! And the rest are going home.
Oh, we got one finisher. Alex from The Chainsmokers has finished first! There are only five spots remaining. Wait, your pattern and his pattern are different. Who's correct? Oh! Yung Gravy has finished second, and Audrey Nuna is third. That's three musicians in a row.
Green… Blue… Oh, I'm missing a green one! Sal Vulcano is fourth. Diplo is done. There's only one spot left. If you lose this game, you are out of the competition. We need six, we’re going till we have six! Boom! And that's it! Howie Mandel is our final finisher.
The game is now over. Take your hands off your blocks. If your star is green, you're moving on. Congratulations to the six of you with the green star. You recreated the pattern first. Thank God. Everyone else, I'm sorry.
Dang! No… I missed the green. Maybe you shoulda done the strong game. No, no, no, Tiff— No, no. Tiffany. All five of you have now been eliminated.
What Dwight did, he recorded it. I’m gonna use my camera to record everything. I did. I recorded it on my camera. And it was too small. And you still got it wrong! I couldn’t see! And I still got it wrong. Message to all the kids at home: If you are going to cheat… Cheat better. Cheat better. Okay?
Okay, did anyone else cheat in here? Yeah. Be honest. Howie did it on his whole phone. I didn't even see this when we were shooting. It turns out Howie Mandel had snuck in his phone and filmed the entire thing. Howie, you cheated! You know why I did it? For pediatric cancer. Yeah, say that's terrible. Go ahead. Tell me I'm a terrible person.
Open the portal. Bye, guys. You rock! I'm glad! I'm going to the Chargers game. I'm gonna find me a husband! Tiffany, just leave.
And with that, 21 celebrities now remain. But remember, only one is gonna win the million dollars for their charity. We are about to start the strong game, so strong contestants, come on up to the floor. Before I open that wall and reveal the game, what do you guys hope the game is? Pushups. Pushups would be great. Reveal the strong game!
How many of you have seen Survivor? Aw, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Never mind, I'm out. This is insane. Bring on out the pole. Oh, no, the pole? This is the worst! What's this? This is the worst game of all time. Shut up! Why did I choose strength? The totem poles. Alright, change the floor. What is this? Oh, no, no, no!
As you can see, there's no longer a red circle. You're good to come up here. Everyone just pick a pole. They're all the same. Choose a pole. They're all the same? Can we climb this? Saw this pole instantly. I went, that’s my pole.
In a moment, when we start the strong game, you will all stand wrapped around the pole. And the first six of you to touch the ground will be eliminated. Kevin, you want to show ’em it? Yes! This is simple. It ain’t hard at all. I can do it with one hand. So that's it. You just do what Kevin's doing here. Yeah, that’s it. You just stand up there and hold on. That's it.
Kevin, why are you shaking, buddy? Why are these calves shaking over here? It's pretty easy, man. What’s it been, twenty minutes? Alright. This is gonna be terrible. Good.
Are you guys ready? Let's start the strength game. Five… Four… Three, two, one… The challenge has now started. First six to touch the ground are eliminated. The shoes make it impossible, man. Yeah? Okay. Everyone is on the poles. And honestly, I think people are already starting to struggle up there.
Oh no! We have our first out. No! Oh, we got one. I should've gone smart. I’m Nigerian, I got two degrees!
Oh, hold on. And it looks like Lil Rel is struggling, too. Rel, get up, Rel! Do you regret joining this video? I love this pole. I’ll let him focus. Ah! Dang! Oh! He fell. Lil Rel! Okay, four eliminations remain.
Winning one million dollars for your charities isn't going to be easy. How bad do you want it? Is this what you thought you’d be doing when you said yes? No! I never wanted to go on Survivor. I can't do that show.
In case you're wondering why this is Survivor-themed, it's because in season 2 of Beast Games, we partnered with Survivor to do an entire episode, which was even co-hosted by Jeff Probst. I love it and Jeff Probst. I hate you for creating this stunt! Ha! Picture Kevin Hart, you know how Kevin Hart's co-hosting this? Yeah. Picture him, but someone a little taller. That's what me and Jeff Probst are like. No, no, no.
Alright, you two are WWE Hall of Famers… WWE champions, the Bella Twins! We did leg day yesterday, so that's hurting. Oh!
We are literally at a point where you’re starting to see people break. I think we're gonna lose Josh, by the way. Josh is fighting for dear life. Don't be talking about me, Sal! I love you. I hope we stay in touch after this.
Oh, no! What the— Oh, God! Wait. How are you gonna get out of this position? I don't know, my feet slipped. Do you have any advice for your sister? Put your knees up. Oh, oh! There you go. Oh! The wrestler’s about to fall! Weren’t you talking— Oh, no. Ah! Oh, no! What happens when the sisters divide?
He’s crushing! Are you even struggling? No. It's easy. Not at all. Oh, we lost another one. Okay, Luke from 5 Seconds of Summer is now eliminated. Only two more eliminations remain.
Is everyone eating our brand new MrBeast and Jack Link's Beef Sticks? Why, yes we are. It tastes great. Good amount of protein. Can I have another one? Another Beef Stick? Of course. He can't get enough of Beef Sticks. I'm glad you guys are enjoying our new Beef Sticks. Hey, if you want to try them, it’s available at these retailers.
Only two more gotta fall and then it's done. Be stronger than the two weakest. Hoo! Agh! No! Oh, we lost one. No, you were so close! I slipped! One remains! You guys have to outlast one more person.
No, Josh! Josh! Josh, dig deep! It's been really nice knowing you. I did this for my son, Max. Shout out. Max! Ah, no! Good try. You're good! The game is over. You're good.
That was crazy. All I’m gonna say to all you smarties out there, way harder than stacking a bunch of colored blocks. Everybody wave goodbye. Losers, follow me. Bye! Open the portal. Thanks, Jimmy. Have fun, bud. Thanks for coming out. Only half the celebrities remain, and we're about to eliminate a lot more in a second.
That last one. I was like, please, please. Oh, same. There's no more friendship. When Josh fell down, I go, "Die! Die now."
You crushed that, too. I'm still shaking. Yeah, it looked so intense. It was, but I could not have done what you did. Oh, word? I saw the season of Survivor where they had that. Oh, really? And I was like… That's why I didn't go with strong. I actually fell asleep for a second in the money over there while you were doing that. What? I got a second to pass out, dude. Yeah.
Who do you trust in this game? Right now, I think us musicians are— You guys are taking the game. We're showing up right now. We like each other. Yeah.
He's a very funny guy. I'm a comedian, too. From Mexico. He's from India. So we're not from the US, so might be something there. I hope we team up. I feel like this is ready for team up here.
I'll tell you this. The person that people want out? Howie. I don't care about how any of these people feel about me. If you win, what's the charity that's getting the million dollars? Alex's Lemonade Stand, pediatric cancer. There is nothing— nothing I won't do to win this.
I am a competition lover. There's nothing better than watching competitions happen, flourish, and then the numbers start to get reduced. ’Cause that's when, now you gotta really compete. Who do you think is the most hated person here so far? Where do you think Howie ranks? If you can cheat and get away with it, I think it’s brilliant.
’Cause we're friends. We've been friends all day. Eventually the friendships turn to… Enemies. Yes, yes. Brilliant.
Alright, can I have you guys up front? It's time for the next game. Change the floor! Before I reveal game three,
I need each of you to pair up into groups of three. Once you have your team of three, just stand in a square. The colors do not matter. Come on, music group. Come on, let's go. Musicians unite. Can we go in pink?
You can team up based on actors, musicians, or just, you throw, random people in a cube. So, old, foreigners. This is just basically, like-- This is the outcast. The outcast! The non-Americans that are old. I was born in England. Ok.
Why this team over here? Obviously, you guys are all really famous musicians. We're working on a song. Yeah. All three of you? Yeah. Right now. Yeah. Oh, really? With our minds. What caused this group to come together? We all made eye contact and just said yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm hoping it's “who can eat a sandwich the fastest?” What would you say the pros of this team is? Can we start with the cons?
Now that everyone has a team, cut the lights! The next game is a cooking challenge. How did you do that? This is insane. Who dressed me?
No, Steve-O. Don't-- No, no, no, no, no. I got this. Don't worry, don't worry-- Steve-O! It's ok. Here we go. No, no, no. Steve-O! Don't, no, no… No, no, no! Oh! Whoa! Let's go! Yeah! Disqualification! Do not try that trick at home.
Everyone! You ready to meet the judges? The people who will decide your fate. Our first judge is a global icon. Hmm. She's an entrepreneur known for her fashion. She once hosted a cooking show. Open the portal! Paris Hilton!
Hi, y'all. She is a world famous celebrity. She is one of three judges that will be judging the food you make. What's up, everybody? Hi, Paris! What's up? Love you!
Your second judge, an Emmy winning, arguably most famous chef on the planet… Giada! The face of cooking on television. I don't know how we landed her. This is crazy. Hi! Stop, stop. Stop it! Oh my gosh! Thanks for having me. This is wild. Two for two on killer judges, right? Yes.
For our third judge… Obviously, we have an all star lineup here. I told Kevin he could bring whoever he wanted. I wanted him to dig deep in his Rolodex. You know, he gave me examples like Gordon Ramsay or, you know, other really famous chefs. Told him to surprise me. What judge did you bring?
Ok, and this is big. When you told me that, I got offended because you were talking to me, so I didn't call anybody. I was like, I'ma be here. I'll be the judge. Yeah, yeah. Oh, ok. No, jokes aside. You got Gordon Ramsay, right? Yeah. No, I didn't even call him. I said what I'm going to do, I'm going to judge. If I'm here, why am I searching for other names? I could've just called Gordon. Yeah, but that's the thing. I was like, I'ma sit behind there, and I'ma eat the food and we're going to judge. Alright, alright. That's called using my head.
Alright, we have two award-winning professional judges, and then Kevin Hart. And me, baby! Do you need a taller seat or is that fine? Jimmy? No, it's-- Jimmy. Don't start. Ok. Ok? And I should've thought about that.
Alright. Contestants, each of you have a golden platter. You have exactly one hour to make anything you want and present it to the judges, and they will try all of them. Two teams with the lowest scores will be eliminated. Start the one hour timer! Good luck.
What do you want to make? I'm unsure. What's your best dish? Um… Oh… You don't know what your best dish is? We should go for like pasta dish. That's gonna be easiest, gonna be tastiest. Wanna go for chicken fajitas? Spaghetti and Beast balls. Gravy.
While most teams got to work gathering ingredients, Howie's strategy was to try and stop them. I find out what they want. Yeah. And then I take it off, which is a vibe. We're probably gonna need more than one, right? Ay! Police, police! What do you want? You wanted mushrooms? Perhaps. I took all of the mushrooms. You took all the mushrooms? It's strategy! Guys, you gotta share some cilantro. Go get your own. No.
But that really didn't work out for Howie. What are y'all doing over there? What are y'all preparing? Fried chicken sandwiches. Bruh, what! Fried chicken sandwich. We got you.
One of the first things I ever made was her chocolate pizza. So if I make her chocolate pizza, we get points. Ok.
What are we thinking over here? Uh, I think we're going to go dinner with a little bit of dessert. I don't know necessarily that they're gonna go together. Italian's the vibe. Ok. Is it spaghetti and meatballs? Is it-- Beast balls. With, just meatballs? Beast balls. Beast balls? Spaghetti and Beast balls. Yeah. The Beast balls.
Ten minutes are gone. You better get cooking. I mean, and-- That's my biggest pet peeve. The nasty hand. I can't. I mean… It makes me wanna… Let's go.
Chicken breast, put this in here. Wait, I thought you were making fajitas. Why are you boiling it? Is that bad? I don't know… Is it gonna be, like, rubber chicken fajitas? That's not how you do the chicken. No, no-- She's a professional chef. She said "No, no, no, no." I'ma get a new chicken, we're gonna fry it. That's good! Let's do it.
What are you cooking, Ally? A chocolate pizza. Because one of the first things I ever made was a chocolate pizza because of you. I adore you. Ok, but what are you doing to that dough? Um… Oh, no, no, no. Howie! Don't yell at me. Ooh, geez!
And as the competition heated up… Don't! No! Howie, Howie, Howie! so did Howie's sabotage. Howie, we can't sabotage.
You having a snack, Howie? I'm taking a protein break. Oh. I don't know if you've tried one of these, but these Jack Link's-- Uh, well, if you look on the side, you'll see our name on it. It's so delicious. And they give me protein. They're healthy. I don't even know if you noticed it, but, yeah, that's our teriyaki beef stick. Guys, I'm eating a beef stick. It turns out to be a MrBeast beef stick!
Jokes aside, I've been eating Jack Link's since I was a kid, which is why we just launched our brand new MrBeast Jack Link's beef sticks. These bad boys are a convenient snack jam packed with protein with natural ingredients. 100% real beef. It's amazing. What are the chances?
Ten minutes remain! Oh my god. Oh my god, oh my God. Oh, geez. It's a broken heart. It's a broken heart. We all have one. It's relatable.
We should probably be plating in the next, like, 2-3 minutes. Yeah, toss that. Yeah. Right, right, right. But remember Kevin said fully cooked. Oh, dear Jesus. Howie? Yeah. Selma? Say a prayer.
Spaghetti right here? Or should I go more to the side so we can put our sweet there? What do we think? How does that look? Or did it look better… I think it looked better the other way. I would get some of that on there 'cause it looks like a little turdy. On top of this? Yeah, that looks good, actually. Let's do it. Let's start doing it. Yup, I think we go a little heavier on the sauce.
One minute. Oh my God! Whew! Look at this. Oh my God! Alright, it's almost time! Oh, your guys' meal actually looks good. Yo, what about your drink? Say it again? Drink, drink, drink. Oh, the drink! Let's go, let's go! Fast, fast!
This is like, the kind of thing you have bad dreams about. But you're like, well, what's so bad about it really? Five, four… Make one. Make one! Three, two, one. No more. No more, it's done. I think we lost. Can we just go through the portal now?
Who do you three want to judge first? Um, we're gonna start here. We're gonna start… Pink! They're eating their own food. That's a great sign. Pink team. When you're ready, bring it on up! Wow.
We have before you today an Asian-American fusion chicken sandwich. Artisanal donuts. With a Feastables reduction. As well as a fresh cucumber salad for your liking. Oh, Kevin's just jumping right into it.
How is it? It's cooked. It's crunchy. Oh, crunchy! It's breaded correctly. Kevin, it's good fried chicken. It's very good. That's hot. It's so good. Judges, are you ready to reveal the score? Yes. Yes! Reveal Pink's score. Mine's is an 8. A 26.5? Whoa.
Alright, Orange. Bring it on over. Alright, so this is a meal we made from the heart. We're gonna be taking you out of France into Italy. The Venice Hilton, we wanted to call it. Slay. We also have the Giada Burrata. Giada Burrata. And then also, the spaghetti with Beast balls. Wait. Those two meatballs, you're calling Beast balls? Those are your Beast balls.
He's taking it all in. I'm not getting as much flavor as I want out of the meatball. It's because it's overcooked. You can tell it's dry. But it's not undercooked. Is this like a cracker? It is a s'more. Mmm.
Reveal the scores! 7.5. 6.5, 7… 10? You guys scored a 26.5. They scored a 24. Yes. Great. Great.
Green team, come on up! For our dish what we've done is we've created chicken fajitas. Try the guacamole because it's a secret sauce. This is good. I'm not mad at this. It's good? I ate the whole thing. Yay! Let's go! Reveal! Another 10… Yes, yes! Bro! Let's go! Your score is so high, you're guaranteed to move on. Yes! Woo! Let's go!
Alright, Blue team. What you got? 5, 6, 7, 8. Oh, wow. Oh, they're dancing. Yeah. Whoa! This is amazing. Voila!
Cold Bolognese on cold pasta that was ready 40 minutes ago. We saw an aggressive sneeze at one point. When I saw it, I said, absolutely not. We just want a 10, a 9, and a 9. There was no sneeze! It's all we want. There was no sneeze! Maybe, I eat the pecan. Did you-- You went with the meat? Kevin, try the pasta. And the crazy thing is… Immediately washed my hands. Food's getting colder. Let's do it. Kevin, try the pasta. Mmm!
3, 2, 1… Reveal! What?! What?! You guys scored a 22, the lowest score so far. Unbelievable. If you do the math, that means they're now eliminated.
Just for a joke? Just for a laugh? What was that? Why'd you leave me out there? Their meatball fell apart. I gave them a four. I'm over here being honest! They made you make your own taco. Eliminated for a bit. You… an 8?
Turn the lights red. Open the portal. Give me the recipe if you can-- No! Man, listen. No, man. Please! Come on, man! Alright, bye Kevin! Hey, man. I didn't mean it. Please, man! Come on, now. Come on, guys, please! Let me finish the show, man. I'll go get your partner back. One second.
Brace yourself, judges, 'cause this one's a crazy one. Yellow team, come on up.
This is our interpretation of a Hawaiian dish known as the Poo Poo Platter. Oh, the poopla. My grandmother, her name is-- was Melissa Mendel. Maybe tell the story before he pukes. Her dream in life was to win a cooking contest. Two weeks ago… Mhmm. she was hit by a bus. I can't look at it. On her deathbed, she said, "Howie, take my recipe." Take my recipe.
We put an hour into this. Howie! We put an entire hour into-- Security! Security! I'm gonna throw up. It was supposed to be a chocolate pizza!
That was so bad. I don't even know if Paris is gonna give it a 10. One, two, three… Reveal it. Yeah, I just gave 'em a one. Zero, one. I gave 'em a one. I'm out. Zero, one, zero… Paris? Why a 10?
Open the portal. This is a legendary crash out by Howie. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Alright. Alright. This was the best, see you later.
I'm Howie's ride. I got to drive him, so I am self eliminating. I'm sorry. Turn the lights red! I am self eliminating. Only I can do that. Oh, really? Turn the lights red! Let me try-- Turn the lights red! No, they did it 'cause I said it. Ok, guys. See you later! Take care, Paul. Bu-bye!
And with that, you are the final eight! It's time for the next game. Cut the light!
Of the five teams that were in the cooking challenge, now, only three remain. And for this next game, you guys are gonna be in the exact same teams. Woo! Yeah, let's go. But instead of working together, you guys will be enemies. That's kinda how I picked. Oh, really? I don't know you well… It's like Hunger Games.
If you guys wanna turn around and look at that wall back there, the mechanism that we're gonna be using to eliminate all but three of you. Guards, open the wall! Bring it on in.
Each team will enter their cube and it will be on them to decide who is eliminated and who moves on. Only one person in each cube will be moving on to the final game and competing for one million dollars.
Inside your cube, to help you make the decision, is a phone which you can ask for anything you want. Mayonnaise. Uh… Kevin. Ok, I get it. Ok. Enter your cubes!
What do we ask for that's really crazy? Let's go. Alright. Oh my goodness. Here we go. Get in the cube. Um. I don't know. What do you guys wanna do. Close it.
Two of us have to be handcuffed. One of us leaves. No, no one wants to do that. Nobody wants to do that, but we have to decide mutually. What are good three person games? Can you do a Rubik's Cube? No. Can you? Yeah. So do we wanna do it based on a coin or do we want to play a game?
In our show Beast Games, this is the most brutal thing we filmed in Season 1 and in Season 2, which just dropped, by the way. It was even crazier. How long, on Season 1 and Season 2, did you have people in the Cube? Oh, Season 2, we were in there for almost an entire day. Took them that long to come up with the decision. Wow. And literally whatever they call and ask for, I'll get it for them.
Beast Hotline, how can I help you? Can, uh, we get a masseuse for a second while we think about this? Absolutely. What about Twister? Let's do Twister. Yeah. Bring Twister out here. Darts? I mean, if we both suck at darts, we can try it. Hello? Can we get darts, puppies, Connect Four and air hockey? Air hockey? Yeah. I mean, it'd be kind of a good time. I know how to play air hockey.
How's your wrestling? My wrestling? Jiu jitsu. Your wrestling, grappling. That's the first time I'm hearing the word. Well, that's bad news for you. Let's ask for a clown. Just see what happens. Maybe you can beat up the clown.
The teams were starting to get creative. And when I said they could ask for anything, I literally meant anything. How good are you with MMA? Wrestling? Oh yeah, here. Lemme show ya. Jiu jitsu, jiu jitsu. No, no, not me. Him. I gotta wrestle him?
In this game, avoiding the inevitable is easy. But as for Brie and Gravy, they were well on their way to decide who their winner would be, and without having played any games at all, Alex saw an opportunity for an easy way out. I dare you. You won't do it. You just did it? He won't do it. Oh, no!
That was good stuff, right? Wait. What happened? We already have a handcuffed? There was deception involved. I was like, playing around with it, and he just locked me in it. How are you two deciding who moves on? With Twister. Oh, that's fun, I'm gonna go get it.
And with that, we had our first cube elimination, and Gravy took the win on their first of three games as well.
Steve-O, what's the decision? I think we've decided on Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots coming right up. Here, let me see that. Hey, Tareq. How's it going? While they're at the store, tell them to grab some of my MrBeast Jack Link's Beef Sticks. They're the best. Absolutely. Hey, we can make it work. Ok. Thank you. Guards! We need MrBeast Jack Link's.
Scan the QR code on screen now and grab my 100% beef MrBeast and Jack Link's Beef Sticks or find them in stores wherever you shop.
Right foot red. Very easy. Let's keep moving faster here. Next one is left hand green. I'll never forget our journey together. Can you not? This has been so real.
Double 15 and double 11. Yes. Ok. Doing good. Oh wait, you have 53. I have 29. And with this being Gravy's last dart, that meant he needed at least 25 points to win. Oh! Alright, six. Alright. You won that one. Oh, shoot! I wanted one at hockey. Puppy would solve this right now. Yeah. Thank you, my good sir.
Right hand green, you guys got it? Uh, the next one is left foot red. Whoa. Left foot red? Left foot red. Oh, you got it then. Chain yourself up! We did it! Woo! You better win the whole thing, or else we're never gonna talk to you again.
Wait, that was quick. She beat you in Twister? Yeah. It’s hard! Oh my gosh.
Audrey was now officially our first celebrity to secure their spot into the final game. And deciding the tiebreaker for the second spot was this puppy?
Oh my gosh. Oh goodness, alright. Okay, so before you put the dog down, you have to go straight in the middle and then let the dog run to the winner. This is how we’re deciding. Yeah.
Oh. He won! But you know what? I don't even care, 'cause you are so cute.
Okay, Gravy is now in the top three. Sorry it didn’t work out. It's okay. You know what? It was a lot of fun. I'm glad you had fun.
Even though I've done this hundreds of times, it still feels weird to lock someone handcuffed in a room. And with Brie's elimination, there was only one spot left for the one million dollar final game.
You gotta defend with your arms, obviously. But to get a win right here? That's the button, right? If the head goes up, you win the game. Alright, so here we have our MMA.
And for whatever reason, these two decided to put their chances at winning the one million dollars all on the line for one single round of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
Fight! Yes! He went in with both fists. It was a bold move, but it didn't pay off.
That’s it. Alright. Cuff up, buddy. Grab your coffee. Whoa, what's going on here? I got knocked out, but I was so close to winning. Carry, now all the people in India are gonna stop watching. End of the video, bro.
I want to reiterate, they're competing for a million dollars. All of the other cubes are done, it's down to this. One million dollars on the line. One of you is gonna make the final three. It all comes down to Rock 'Em Sock 'Em.
Alright, ready? Fight! Who's gonna win? It’s done. It's over. Yes. Oh my gosh, that was just instant. Eugene, he just decimated your head. It's a good game.
Alright. Wait, wait! Let him do it. Ah! On you. It's done. You made the final three. Head on out! Alright, let's go.
We have Steve-O. We have Gravy. We have Audrey. You guys are here for something bigger than you, for your causes. Steve-O, what is your charity?
For this competition, I wanna help people. I'm goin’ Doctors Without Borders. They go to places where medical attention isn't widespread and help people out.
Exactly. Gravy, how about you? My charity is Noise for Now. They get more money for reproductive health organizations.
How about you over here? I am competing for Luminos Fund. So basically, if kids didn't have a chance to start school, it's a second chance at getting basically three years of curriculum. It's an insanely amazing organization.
All three of you have a cause that is important to you that you're competing for. But only one of you will win them a million dollars. But this final game is gonna determine which charity wins one million dollars. And it's behind this wall. Raise the wall, baby.
In front of you are three briefcases. One has a million dollars inside of it. The other two are empty. One at a time, you're gonna go up there and pick a briefcase, and once each of you have a briefcase, you all open them up. Whichever briefcase has a million dollars, your charity will get it.
We'll start with Audrey because she came out of the cubes first. I’m ready. Delete the red rings. This circle no longer matters. All that matters is which briefcase you have at the end of this game. It all starts with you. Are you ready?
Hold up. Drop the wall! We'll see you two in a moment. For now, it is just me and her.
One of these three briefcases has a million dollars inside of them. The other two have nothing. Which number speaks to you? What do you think about number one over here? I like the number one. Okay. Not feeling anything today. Not feeling that? I might do three. Why three? I don’t know. Three is a magical number. Is it speaking to you?
Now that you've chosen, go ahead and look inside. There is, of course, a twist. But for now, only you will see inside it. Okay? Okay. Close it. What was inside? It's a pet rabbit. A pet rabbit? Yes. Oh, open the wall!
Gravy, it's time. You were second to exit the cubes. So you’re second to play the game. You ready? Now, here's the twist. You can choose any case you want. You can even steal Audrey's. So ask her any questions you want. Close the wall. Sorry, Steve-O.
Did you like what you saw in the briefcase? Perhaps. Was it heavy? Very heavy. These are probably all heavy, huh. Can I smell them? Yeah, you can smell ’em. I don't smell anything, but… It smells like money.
What, why are you looking at the scaffolding? Just wondering where the cameras are aimed. Come on. You think this is our first game show? We still have to film the losers. Yeah. Alright, fair. I like it. He's really thinking this through.
I did like the idea of three, but… I'll go with one. Are you officially lockin’ it in? I’ll lock it in. Okay. It's on you. Let's see if we can read his face.
What did that face tell you? I don’t know if I know him well enough. But now that you know what's in there, if yours is empty, you really, really want Steve-O to steal yours. And you both can tell Steve-O whatever you want. This is where it starts to get fun. Open the wall!
Steve-O, Steve-O, Steve-O. Boy, do we have some fun for you? You can steal her briefcase, thus forcing her to take number two, or you can steal Gravy’s briefcase, forcing him to take number two. Or you can just pick number two. Everything's in your hands. Ask as many questions as you want because this million dollars is on the line.
I knew that Audrey was gonna be difficult to read. Yeah, she's a stone cold killer. Did you? She is a deadpan individual.
My first question is, basically, is your integrity more important to you or less important to you than this donation to your charity? They're equally important to me. Well, that's a strong answer. Okay. Alright.
You got the money? That's a no. And is he saying that because he does and he doesn't want you to steal it? Or is he saying it because he thinks that's what he'd say if he did have it? But it is empty. So he's trying to make you think he does have it even though he doesn't have it. Right!
The not maintaining eye contact, kind of shry, made me feel like he might have it. Like he was trying too hard to conceal it. I think he might have it.
You got the money? Perhaps. Perhaps? Perhaps. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
I think you're gonna get more out of Gravy than her. She’s a stone wall over there. Yeah, I'm leaning heavily towards stealing hers. How does that make you feel? Excited. Excited?
When you looked inside this briefcase, was it a piece of paper that indicated whether or not it was the million bucks? When I looked in the briefcase, I saw a pet rabbit. A pet rabbit.
Alright, you know what? I'm going with my first instinct. I'm locking in and stealing hers. You're locking it in? I'm locking it in. Okay. Yeah. That means this is yours.
Three, two, one… Open your briefcase! Oh my gosh, he did it! He did it! He stole it! He caught you! You gave it away! Oh my, you did it! Yeah, you did it!
I will now wire this million dollars to Steve-O's charity, Doctors Without Borders. And obviously we're also gonna make a $20,000 donation to your charity and your charity as well. We don't want them going home empty-handed.
And now, I literally right now have to go give away five million dollars. I'll see you there. And competing for this money are 100 of the strongest people on the planet versus 100 of the smartest people on Earth… The same IQ as Albert Einstein. In the biggest competition series ever made.
Beast Games Season 2 is streaming on Prime Video right this second, where you can watch the most mind-bending games, the wildest drama… I just don’t know what’s gonna happen. And the biggest crossover in television history.
I’ve dedicated an entire year. I’ve spent millions of dollars making sure this is the best content I have ever made, and it would mean the world to me if you went and watched Beast Games Season 2 on Prime Video right this second.
