    My guess is in 10 years we will see him run for president similar to Trump. This won’t end well.

        Yup. We keep learning the same thing over and over: Don’t hero worship people, demand they be better and stay better or don’t support them.

        He will eventually do something that will make the OP situation look like nothing, just like Elon, Joanne, or Trump. It’s just a matter of time.

        He made the most 10 year old statement that if he ran for president he would just talk to both parties and reach a compromise.

        Good thing his target audience can’t vote. Hopefully as they grow up they learn he’s full of shit and stop supporting him

        You should demand better then either, neither should be in charge of a sandwich shop, let alone a country.

          Obviously, I’m voting for Harris. I’m just saying, on the relative scale, there’s a hierarchy.

              “Should”? Absolutely. At some point if both candidates are truly awful I suppose I’d have to vote third party.

          It’s always a vote between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Probably always will be too.

    I am baffled how anyone thought someone who went by the moniker Mr. Beast wasn’t telling you who they were the whole tine.

    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.

    Well the guy is a grade A clown. If his fan base wants to be treated like garbage for a chance to eventually get sexually molested by mr beast or his inner circle of douche bags….🤷‍♂️

          Not really sure how anyone could think I was suggesting the opposite, particularly as I was responding to a comment blaming the victims for being abused.

    Production company Off One’s Base LLC wrote in a synopsis sent to the Nevada Film Office that challenges would involve “brains, brawn, and character.”

    Brains to plan Violence, Brawn to preform violence, and a (lack of) Character to enact violence, seems to be what they meant based on this article.

    This is just brutally bad. There are people who organize large scale events. The knowledge is out there, he obviously either did not hire them or ignored their advice.

    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.

    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. 🤔

      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.
