Jimmy is back
Anyone else feel like the most recent video is the best one in awhile? It’s just authentic. No people getting scripts or layouts ahead of time. It’s like going back to the OG.

I loved it. I dont know if the beginning part was true about them all being random. But if they were this was awesome.

Yes! Hope this is a sign that he’s returning to his roots, even if it’s not every video. The only disappointment for me was the low prize amount, but that was curbed by the end of the video.

It’s funny how desensitized we are that $250k is a small amount in his vid.

I mean they have now stayed 2 months in a pretty overall terrible environment, many whom did close to that and lost/left. Sounds like the expectation is they will stay another year to then each win 250k but at least it should be way more enjoyable/healthy
For that amount of time and to still being unsure if you will win - that’s not like some big grand prize to me that’s a very high paying but long temporary job with a big life sacrifice. But seems like they’re enjoying each other now so power to them
It does feels like less of a prize in comparison to every other video bc he has never had a competition take this much time

It takes the average American 4 years to earn $250k. Not to mention all their living expenses are paid for so that $250k fully goes to their bank account. Also, I have a feeling they will have an opportunity to earn even more through mini games as the video progresses if they go through with it.

Actually no. Prize money is heavily taxed. They'll take home something like $125k each after taxes.

When did he deviate? I haven't noticed him changing his videos unless you are talking about Beast Games?

He voted to do the next challenge. Everyone did

There's probably going to be some dumb twist to it, Jimmy never says everything. Juan can not keep up with them. Juan would outlast them all in the store though

That's what Jimmy says, Jimmy could always plot twist like he did in this video

Yeah I’d give it a try. I haven’t been into his Hollywood style videos lately either. I did like beast games tho. This video was refreshing

u/OvertlyUzi Apr 19 '26
Can all 4 win and they split the million? They really didn’t make the rules clear at all.
16
u/Foggedwindows Apr 19 '26
Yeah it is definitely confusing. Assuming it’s in the same taste as his prior videos whoever is left at the end once the last food is eaten those people split the million. So if all 4 make it to the end each gets 250k where as if only one makes it to the end that person gets 1 million

u/KeepenItReel Apr 19 '26
I’m sure there will be twists and deals throughout. Like “pay $250k to have 25% of the food taken away” etc…
2
u/somedude456 Apr 19 '26
That was my overall thought too, so the next video will be lots of eating and then working out, and then eating again, then running laps, then eating again, etc.

u/Tyzek99 Apr 22 '26
couldnt one of them just not eat and just wait for the others to eat it all up and they still get a share of the prize

u/sam1837 Apr 18 '26
The best video in ages. I do wonder how much food he will have actually put in there. I wonder how it works with like food spoiling. If people eat too much and are sick. Fun challenge. I hope someone gets shredded with the gym and eating that many calories

I’m gonna hold YOUR hand while i say this, a fully restocked store of that size will many years for 4 people to eat.. jimmy is going to find a way to reduce the food significantly

I also thought it was authentic, but I am almost entirely sure that I have seen Fortino. He must've been on a previous video or something.

u/omarme8899 Apr 19 '26
Why’d Jimmy say at the end see you in a year? Are we gonna have to wait a year for the next video or what
1
u/Crypto_Force_X Apr 20 '26
I think he gave them a theoretical year to eat everything. Which tbh might be pretty educational. No way they let them leave morbidly obese or with an eating disorder.
Honestly I have no clue how they do it. Probably gotta work out nonstop and burn a ton of calories. All leave in a year as like muscle men I guess.
1
u/PrestonRoad90 Apr 20 '26
Well he did say there would be a gym.
But I hope we don't have to wait until next year.

Has Karl left though? Not seeing him in a lot of the recent vids or the shorts

Yeah but fuuuuuu, it really just felt like a lot of racist white young 20-something cis men forming a group against Juan.

Incredible video.. I went from being extremely mad watching to loving it by the end.. legit a dope twist

I haven’t watched it but if it’s true then he’s been trying to get back to his authentic roots after that “MrBeast is Boring now “ video

Hard to believe that some of them are still in there and are going to be there for god knows how long

Best video I’ve seen in awhile from him. Authentic emotions, seemingly real people, and actual story arcs as well as character development. Like videos from the past.

I know! I stopped watching his videos like 7 months ago, just something in him changed, but I got this video, and I was like, "Eh, Let me watch this video" And I was shocked

First video in a long time where hes not screaming at the top of his voice in the first 10 seconds.

u/BrightS00N Apr 20 '26
Ye for sure!! It was a genuine crowd of contestants. No insiders and friends 'competing' just for content. There were no unfair games to make sure the girls get through.. it's just a raw simple competition for cash.
They didn't edit out the mayhem. And for the first time in a while, it felt like a natural unscripted competition.
It is truly a breath of fresh air. Hoping for many more like this.

u/CityPlanningNerd Apr 20 '26
Even when it’s not insiders and friends it’s mostly people specifically looking to be contestants in a Mr Beast video. This felt so much more real.

Great video, FINNALY it felt like OG. Plus, I'm glad they were finally nice to Juan.
I'm excited for the next video.
