MrBeast has expressed hope that the series will continue for many more seasons, with plans for at least 10.

What Happened in Episode 3?

The third episode concluded with the revelation that a player accepted the $1 million bribe, but the recipient remains unknown. Over three episodes, the initial 200 players were narrowed down to 25 finalists through intense challenges.

The Captain Bribe Twist

Similar to Season 1, each team selected a captain who could press a button to claim the entire prize pot. The five captains faced a rising cash display; pressing the button would award the money instantly, but at a cost—they risked being eliminated along with their team members.

  • No one pressed the button initially.
  • The prize pool reached $1 million.
  • MrBeast then announced, “Someone took the prize!” signaling a significant game-changing event.

The episode hinted at the upcoming Survivor crossover, with host Jeff Probst making a guest appearance.
