YouTuber Rosanna Pansino took to X to share "very concerning" claims about alleged incidents at Beast Games. For those unaware, Beast Games is internet star Jimmy "MrBeast's" upcoming Amazon Prime game show, which will feature numerous contestants competing for a grand prize of $5 million.
Recently, however; several reports have surfaced on social media, claiming to provide details about the conditions participants allegedly faced during the filming. For instance, on August 5, 2024, Rosanna Panisno alleged that MrBeast's team had confiscated Beast Games participants' undergarments.
On August 18, 2024, Pansino claimed to have received "confirmation" from at least ten Beast Games contestants that the production team was allegedly kicking them off the show, and that they were no longer allowed to compete.
According to her, participants who advanced to the next round of the game show were supposed to fly to Canada in "12 to 36 hours" for the next round of filming. However, the production team canceled some of the participants' flights:
"I've received confirmation from at least 10 Beast Games contestants that production has been calling some people this week and telling them they are now kicked off the show and no longer allowed to compete. This appears to be a fairly large amount of people. These are people who made it to the next round of Beast Games and were set to fly to the next shoot in Canada within 12-36+ hours (some of them even had their flights canceled by production!)."
Rosanna Pansino also claimed that the Beast Games production team was calling back contestants who had been eliminated in the first round, adding that the production crew "refused to give a reason" for the alleged situation:
"I am waiting for additional confirmation, but it appears that production is allegedly also calling people who were eliminated in the first round and are now inviting them back onto the show. Production has so far refused to give a reason, but the most common theory I'm hearing from contestants is that it was because of a psych evaluation given to contestants after the first round."
Pansino went on to opine that either the Beast Games production team conducted a psychological evaluation of the contestants "too late" or showed favoritism towards certain contestants:
"In my opinion, they either did a psych evaluation of contestants too late, or they are playing favoritism with specific contestants. Either way, it is very concerning."
Rosanna Pansino claims Beast Games allegedly allowed a criminally charged man to compete in the game show
On the same day (August 18, 2024), Rosanna Pansino accused Beast Games of allegedly allowing Armani Izadi, who was criminally charged with kidnapping, pandering, robbery, and battery, to participate in the game show. For those unaware, Armani Izadi is internet influencer Jake Paul's friend, who pleaded guilty to one count of pandering back in 2014.
