MrBeast Starring on Survivor 50, Fans Are Confused
Survivor 50 fans don’t know what to make of MrBeast guest starring in this week’s episode. CBS announced that the YouTuber would be on Wednesday’s special entry.
CBS’s flagship competition series sees MrBeast arrive in time for an auction this week. The competitors are being pitted against each other, and the Internet celebrity seems perfectly equipped for the challenge. What a world 2026 ends up being.
But, will MrBeast be at Tribal Council? The answer is yes, and that’s what has some fans worried about seeing Jimmy (MrBeast’s real name btw) pull up. These sorts of publicity stunts and casting decisions are baked-in to the premise. Survivor has prided itself on always changing the playing field when viewers and the players least expect it.
Recent weeks have seen wrinkles like “paired elimination.” (That one will be sticking around for sure!) And, the Jimmy Fallon cameo. Yeah, that’s a wild sentence to be typing out, but it totally happened. Whatever is going to be hiding in that auction will likely present a dilemma for the tribe as they try to stay on the show another week! Check out a look from the episode down below. I still can’t believe that MrBeast is guest-starring on Survivor.
Survivor 50 invites MrBeast on for the ride
MrBeast is one of the biggest stars on the planet, but don’t tell this Survivor fan. Ms. Crystal is not amused, “Who is MrBeast and why is he going to be on Survivor? I am so sick of these cameos that are supposedly in the “hands of the fans.” I didn’t vote for any of this.”
Former Survivor contestant Kelley Wentworth was bewildered when MrBeast popped-up in a promo for the 50th season. “Why is MrBeast putting a briefcase on a table?” Wentworth wondered back then, “Not to mention, Christian saying Jimmy Fallon may determine my fate in this game…What are we doing?”
Over on Reddit, the mood is generally the same. Tony Rosasco posted a gem when the teaser got released. But, it isnt all laughs. One fan pointed out the ongoing sexual harrassment allegations against MrBeast’s production company.
CBS doubles down on fan-favorites?
With all the fervor around Survivors latest season, CBS is plowing forward. They’re doubling and tripling down on some of their established favorites. But shows like Ghosts and Ellsbeth also get some shine too. In a recent press release, the president of CB SS Entertainment Division felt that the future was bright for their quarter of the operation.
“CBS broadcasts the most-watched entertainment shows in the country and continues to launch more every season,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.
“We’ll build on that this fall by expanding the powerful NCIS franchise, introducing a new original drama from the creators of THE GOOD WIFE and ELSBETH and a new comedy from the acclaimed duo behind GHOSTS,” she added. “This all adds up to another schedule built for launching new hits, scaling audiences and growing content value.”
