Belizean/American Competes in Beast Games

What would you do if you had a chance to win 5 million USD? That’s the grand prize for the winner of Beast Games, a show by MrBeast on Prime Video.

Belizean/American Wilbert Jimenez got that opportunity as player 519.

Jimenez said that he discovered the opportunity through an Instagram post and deciding to give it a shot. “I applied at 10 a.m. on a regular Wednesday, and within 10 minutes, they responded saying they liked what they saw and wanted to talk more,” Jimenez explained. From there, his participation in the show began.

The competition kicked off during the summer, with filming divided into two parts. The first segment was a YouTube video shot in Las Vegas over four days, and the second took place in Canada over three to four weeks. Episodes one and two of the show have already been released.

Jimenez said, “The entire experience was literally crazy. The amount of mental exhaustion you go through, it was all difficult, but I think I managed to continue past episode one. That may be a spoiler for you, but yeah, past episode one, but the entire experience was hard, but it was worthwhile.”

Jimenez described the moment MrBeast unveiled $1 million in cash, with $5 million in the background, as surreal. “When I saw the 1 million, I was like, I’m not pressing the button. I’m like, I want to go for the big price. So I was like, not fazed at all for that.”

One of the challenges required someone to sacrifice themselves for the group’s benefit. He said it was a tense moment involving another contestant, Courtney, who ultimately saved his row from elimination. “She was the one who actually saved my row. That was the last row to turn green. And because of her, I ended up making it past that challenge.”

When asked what viewers can expect from the show, Jimenez promised plenty of drama, betrayal, and emotional moments that would keep audiences engaged. He confirmed that filming wrapped in September, though the winner remains a closely guarded secret due to NDAs.
