“It’s a Fyre Fest kind of feeling,” one crew member who worked in Toronto and left the production early said to Rolling Stone. “There’s a reason why this level of production hasn’t been attempted before, and it certainly should never have been attempted without people that know what they are doing.”

MrBeast has called out a negative review of Beast Games online, defending the new reality TV show and the people who worked on the project.

I watched MrBeast's new game show "Beast Games" with my son. The show is fun — but I worry about the message it sends about money.

A recent Rolling Stone report on the making of YouTuber Mr Beast’s Prime Video game show, Beast Games, compared it to Fyre Festival, the notorious wing-and-a-prayer music event that descended into a Lord of the Flies dystopia over a wet weekend.

Hosted by YouTube creator MrBeast, "Beast Games" pits 1,000 contestants against one another in a variety of competitions for a $5 million prize.

MrBeast's controversial new game show, Beast Games, just debuted the first season's first few episodes on Amazon. So far, the critic reviews are fairly negative, with IGN and The Telegraph both giving it 2/10.
