Documents allegedly leaked from YouTube star Jimmy "MrBeast's" recently released Prime Video show, Beast Games, have revealed the terms and conditions the contestants had to agree to before participating in its preliminary round. These documents were non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that prohibited the participants from releasing information about the show, with a penalty being enforced for each breach of information.
As reported by Business Insider, the NDAs stated the contestants must pay the producer and the network $500,000 each time an agreement is broken or a subsequent breach of information occurs before the show's last episode airs. Meanwhile, breaking the agreement after the last aired episode of Beast Games can lead to a $100,000 penalty.
Alleged leaked documents reveal terms and conditions enforced upon Beast Games contestants as part of agreement
MrBeast's show Beast Games has been the subject of much talk over the past few months, partly due to the controversies it has been involved in. The show involves 1,000 participants competing against each other in several tasks in a bid to win the grand prize of $5 million. MrBeast has dubbed this as the "biggest single prize in the history of television."
As part of the conditions listed within the alleged leaked documents from Beast Games, contestants are also asked to agree that they may be portrayed in a manner that is potentially "disparaging, defamatory, embarrassing, or of an otherwise unfavorable nature" and may lead to "public ridicule, humiliation, or condemnation."
These documents specifically pertain to the controversial Las Vegas production of the show, which involved 2,000 contestants competing against each other. Of these, 1,000 individuals would get to be in the show's official production held in Toronto.
Furthermore, the participants were asked to provide full consent for the usage of covert technology, such as hidden cameras and recording devices, providing producers full autonomy to edit footage as required. They also agreed to participate for no money.
Beast Games' Las Vegas shoot was the subject of a report by a television station based in Las Vegas, KSNV's News 3, that claimed the show's production staff had some serious complaints regarding the filming process.
