## Thumbnail

The thumbnail shows MrBeast in the middle with other influencers in the thumbnail like KSI, Mark Rober, Dream on the right side, and Ninja, Charlie D'Amelio, and Dixie D'Amelio on the left side. Ninja was later replaced by Lazarbeam on the thumbnail due to the former having to leave.

## Criticism

Although despite the high like-to-dislike ratio in the stream (which means it was enjoyed by many people), one thing that disappointed the audience was the victory of the D'Amelio family. This is because of the fact that the D'Amelio family had to compete against a single competitor (or in some cases two competitors), hence making the matches a 4v1 (or 4v2). They have also been seen using their phones. Although it would boost the sisters to their victory, it was considered cheating and left many of the viewers disappointed with the D'Amelio family winning.

At around midnight EST, MrBeast responded to the criticism and apologized for this incident.

## Trivia

* This is the second video of MrBeast published under YouTube Originals. The first is the $250,000 Influencer Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament.
* Ninja wasn't present, thus GeorgeNotFound took his place.
* Dream is the only one who's physical appearance isn't seen due to privacy. According to Jimmy, they have cameras on Dream to ensure he doesn't cheat and is honest with his answer. This means Jimmy knows how Dream looks like.
	+ He thinks cats live to 127
	+ He thinks there is 39 Pokemon species-in reality there is over 800.
* The people pictured on the thumbnail follows Ninja (replaced with Lazerbeam), KSI, Dream (avatar only), Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, and Mark Rober.
* KSI wrote that Saturn has 6 moons when it actually has 82.
* Addison Rae thinks there are 100 millions in a billion but it has 1000.
* This is the first MrBeast video that was followed by a major scandal that didn't involve MrBeast personnel.
