Plot[]
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD, PLEASE BACK OUT IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO.
MrBeast starts the video by introducing the challenge. At the beginning, the YouTubers begin to get together with Logan Paul trying to make friends while KSI tries to get Kai Cenat out. A few hours later, the first challenge begins: make a free throw (basketball) and win a cybertruck. Ryan Trahan , Jesser, Mark Rober, Faze Rug and Jidion attempted the challenge, but only Jesser and Faze Rug made the shot. Jimmy lets them get settled, but the creators soon get bored, and one of them, Nil Ojeda, loses because he accidentally touches the red border. Jimmy asks for a creator to go out for the second challenge to begin, which LilyPichu does.
Jimmy begins sweeping up the money on the floor to begin the Honeycomb challenge. The aim of the challenge is to get in groups of five and pick a captain for each team (like in Ages 1 - 100 Decide Who Wins $250,000). The team captain would pick which of his teammates gets which cookie shape (triangle, circle, star, or umbrella). 11 people were eliminated: Pokimane, Colby Brock, Sketch, FaZe Rug, Michael Reeves, Fede Vigevani, Ossy Marwah, Lexi Rivera, MatPat, jschlatt, and Mastu. LazarBeam says that his odds became better after the eliminations. The creators got bored again, so some of them decided to play a game using bottle caps.
Jimmy asks players to pair up into groups of two for a game of Jenga. KSI and AJ Shabeel go up first. KSI brings AJ out of the cube with him, and after a vote, KSI would have to leave the cube. Then they resort to normal Jenga, which had many people get eliminated. There was one game that lasted longer than ended with Enaldinho going home. 17 people were eliminated in this challenge, and 17 people left.
IShowSpeed, who was late to the shoot due to his flight being late, appeared for the first time in the video after the games of Jenga, but the people vote to IShowSpeed to not play. Steal or No Steal was the next game, with Howie Mandel to host. There were 10 cases: 10 said "SAFE" and 7 said "ELIMINATED". Players had to decide whether to steal the case or not. The case would either eliminate the player or save them from elimination. Jimmy does a sponsor for Samsung during this segment. The 10 people left to play the next challenge were Kai Cenat, AJ Shabeel, Logan Paul, elrubiusOMG, Spriteder SPD, Ludwig Ahgren, Nick DiGiovanni, Amixem, Alexandra Botez, and JaidenAnimations.
Jimmy asks the 10 players to pair up into groups of two for a cooking challenge. Players would be left to make their own dish that would be served to three judges: Miranda Cosgrove, IShowSpeed and Joey Chestnut. Each judge would rate the meals on a scale of 1-10, 30 being the highest score. The two teams with the lowest scores would be eliminated. Ludwig and Amixem's team got a rating of 26. JaidenAnimations and Alex Botez's team got a rating of 26 as well. Nick DiGiovanni and Logan Paul's team got a rating of 29, however, Logan Paul forgot that if you stepped out of the cube, you were out. He accidentally lost because he wanted to smash plates like he does in his older videos. Kai Cenat and AJ Shabeel's team got a low rating of 16, and they were eliminated. elrubiusOMG and SpriteDer SPD's team were also eliminated, having only 22 points.
The final challenge was a voting game. Players would vote on who they thought had the briefcase with one million dollars. The player with the most votes would open their briefcase. If they didn't have the million, they would be eliminated. If they picked the player with the million dollars, they instantly win. Ludwig, JaidenAnimations, Amixem, Nick DiGiovanni, and Alex Botez participated in the game. During the first round of voting, Ludwig had the most votes. He did not have the million, and was eliminated. During the second round of voting, JaidenAnimations had the most votes and won the 1 million dollar prize for her fans.

Elimination order table[]
Games[]
Basketball: In the first game, the YouTubers may walk out of the cube. If one of them made a free throw (basketball), they would win one of their subscribers a Tesla cybertruck.
Honeycomb: Players get into groups of five and choose a captain. The captain would assign who would have to carve out shapes from a cookie. If the design isn’t carved completely in 10 minutes or the cookie breaks, the contestant is eliminated. The easiest shape is the triangle, followed by the circle, star, and umbrella.
Jenga: Plays similar to the board game of the same name.
Steal or No Steal: Hosted by Howie Mandel, there are 17 cases: 10 saying "SAFE", and 7 saying "ELIMINATED". Players would either steal or not steal the case. If the case they stole said "SAFE", they would stay in the game. If the case said "ELIMINATED", they would be eliminated from the game. The same would happen to the other player if they did not steal the case.
Cooking: Players would have 1 hour to create any dish they wished. They would be served to three judges who would grade them on a scale from 1-10 based on presentation and food quality.
Voting: The finale was a voting game. Players would vote on who they thought had the briefcase with one million dollars. The player with the most votes would open their briefcase. If they didn't have the million, they would be eliminated. If they picked the player with the million dollars, they instantly win.

Trivia[]
- This video was uploaded six days after the first year of MrBeast Gaming not uploading.
- MrBeast said it's his best video ever.
- Jenga had the most contestants eliminated at 20.
- IShowSpeed did not make it on time since he was supposed to be at the shoot over 24 hours ago.
- The contestant with the most subscribers was Mark Rober with 52 million at the time of recording and 54 million at the time of upload, while BotezLive (Andrea and Andrea Botez) had the least amount of subscribers with 1.5 million at the time of recording.
- However, if you count Andrea Botez as a separate YouTuber (as she actually has a separate YouTube channel outside of BotezLive which is self-titled), then she is technically the contestant with the least amount of subscribers at 83 thousand at the time of recording (which would still put her at last place for the least amount of subscribers).
- The second most subscribed contestant was Fede Vigevani and the third was CarryMinati. Likewise, the second least subscribed contestant was AJ Shabeel and the third was Aminematue.
- However, if you count Andrea Botez as a separate YouTuber (as she actually has a separate YouTube channel outside of BotezLive which is self-titled), then she is technically the contestant with the least amount of subscribers at 83 thousand at the time of recording (which would still put her at last place for the least amount of subscribers).
- Mark Rober, at the age of 44, was the oldest YouTuber in the competition, while Andrea Botez of BotezLive, at 22, was the youngest in the competition. Coincidentally, as mentioned above, Mark Rober has the most subscribers and is the oldest YouTuber/contestant, while Andrea Botez has the least amount of subscribers and is the youngest YouTuber.
- LilyPichu, having started her channel on March 5, 2006, is the longest running YouTuber to partake in this competition, while Bella Poarch, having started her channel on March 26, 2020 (or TikTok channel on January 2020), is the most recent YouTuber to partake in the competition.
- The second long running contestant was JacksFilms (who started on June 26, 2006) and the third being penguinz0/MoistCr1TiKaL (who started on May 7 2007). Alternatively, the second most recent YouTuber was Kwaktube (who began in October 16, 2018) and the third was Alexandra and Andrea Botez of BotezLIve (April 8, 2018).
- Coincidentally, a vast majority of the aforementioned contestants were eliminated in the Jenga challenge (except for LilyPichu who left before the Honeycomb challenge and Alex Botez who survived against her sister in said Jenga challenge).
- The second long running contestant was JacksFilms (who started on June 26, 2006) and the third being penguinz0/MoistCr1TiKaL (who started on May 7 2007). Alternatively, the second most recent YouTuber was Kwaktube (who began in October 16, 2018) and the third was Alexandra and Andrea Botez of BotezLIve (April 8, 2018).
- Compared to other challenge videos, the Beast Gang did not appear as much. Out of the Beast Gang, Mack Hopkins and Nolan Hansen appeared the most, albeit briefly and were the only ones in the Beast Gang aside from Mr. Beast to speak. Tareq only appeared in split seconds around the beginning. Much of the crew wore neck gaiters.
- This is the eighth video to feature YouTubers competing against each other, the others being Last Youtuber To Leave Wins $100,000 - Challenge, $200,000 Youtuber Battle Royale, $250,000 Influencer Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament, $300,000 Influencer Trivia Tournament!, $1,000,000 Influencer Tournament!, Extreme $1,000,000 Hide And Seek and Last To Take Hand Off Jet, Keeps It!.
- IShowSpeed was a second backup behind KreekCraft.
- The Top 5's plans with what they want to do with the money when they win appear to correspond with the type of content they produce:
- Ludwig said he wanted to host a find Ludwig and win money challenge, which aligns with his channel where he reacts to various videos as well as doing challenges (either by himself or with friends).
- Nick DiGiovanni mentioned that he wanted to use the money to donate as many meals as he can, which is associated with him being a food YouTuber where he cooks and does food reviews.
- Alexandra Botez says that she and Andrea will host a bunch of chess events, which aligns with their channel containing chess related content.
- JaidenAnimations wants to send the money to fans who want to pay for their degree at art schools, which associates with her content being animations of her personal stories.
- Amixem wants to build schools in South Morocco, which lines up with the fact that he is a YouTuber from France who does a variety of content, with some of the videos featuring him doing similar things to what MrBeast himself does.
- This the first video to have a Behind The Scenes and the alternative title is called "MrBeast's $1,000,000 YouTuber Battle".
- This thumbnail is a reference from SML similar to the word pasting on second Behind the Scenes but added Kris and a glowing border.
Errors[]
- When the YouTubers say LeBron the letter B is not capitalized in the captions.
- Although IShowSpeed was not in the beginning, at the beginning of the challenge there were 50 YouTubers (IShowSpeed did not have any doubles).
- There were certain errors in the subscriber numbers due to confusion by the MrBeast team:
- The MrBeast team confused the Roblox Youtuber "Sketch", with the Sketch the real, as the subcount on the back says 5millions, even though neither his twitch or Youtube have achieved that milestone at the time of recording the video.
- Rubius' T-shirt said 12 million subscribers, this being the number of subscribers to his secondary channel Rubius Z and not his main channel elrubiusOMG, which had 40 million. In the Steal or No Steal challenge he had more subscribers than Logan Paul, who, in error, was chosen to go first (in fact, Logan pointed at Rubius and was surprised by the number).
- SpriteDer's t-shirt literally said 000,000 subscribers.
- Kris appears in the Behind The Scenes thumbnail but she didn't appear in the video at all.
