Twitch star Kai Cenat has revealed his next big project: a 24/7 live event inspired by the cartoon spoof Total Drama Island, with streamers competing as contestants. This idea adds to Cenat's growing list of creative concepts that mix reality TV with live streaming. Cenat's Streamer University, a coaching program he started this year to help new creators, caused quite a stir. Now he's setting his sights on more engaging, community-focused experiences.
The American streamer said:
"One thing that I will confirm that I will be doing in the future... is a Total Drama Island with streamers. Now, we don't know when this is going to be, but do know that I can confirm that. You feel me? People also talked about summer camp... listen, I'm not confirming or denying anything. But a lot of things are being talked about, and I'm seeing it."
While Streamer University faced some backlash about how creators were picked, it still drew lots of viewers and marked a big step in creator-led shows. Cenat has said he won't do a second class, but that hasn't stopped him from trying new things.
The Total Drama Island-inspired show revealed during a recent livestream remains in its early stages. Though no set timeline exists, the concept appears to embrace real-time content, showcasing a camp-like environment and organized challenges.
"He’s just becoming another mr beast," an X user commented on Kai Cenat's idea.
Internet reacts as Kai Cenat plans to create 24/7 ‘Total Drama Island’ for streamers
"Guy copies everything Ice did in 2017 and people applaud him like he's a genius," an X user commented.
"Did bro not learn from streamer university?" another X user wrote.
Some critics have pointed out that Kai Cenat’s new concept bears a striking resemblance to Fishtank Live, a long-running project known for placing internet personalities in a confined, always-on environment filled with drama and challenges.
"He is quite literally copying what Fishtank Live has been doing for YEARS. Bro cannot come up with an original idea," another X user wrote.
"If it isn’t male-only, they wouldn’t get anything done. Look at streamer university, it was more like Tinder hookup university," another reacted.
"But what happens when the market is saturated and too many streamers are trying to be streamers?" another user commented.
Kai Cenat’s Hunger Games concept faces delays, draws comparisons to Mr Beast
Cenat talked about another project he has teased for a long time: a Hunger Games-style event involving streamers. Many fans have looked forward to this, but he admitted that making it happen has been the hardest challenge he has faced so far. Even though he first brought it up a couple of years ago, the plan is still stuck because of logistical hurdles. He said:
"As for Hunger Games... Hunger Games is my most difficult task. Okay? Out of everything that I have done, Hunger Games is my most difficult task! But y'all know I already announced Hunger Games like a year or two ago and s**t like that."
Kai Cenat’s ideas are similar to MrBeast's, known for organizing massive interactive events.
The exact plans and timelines are still unclear, but Cenat’s goals show that livestreaming keeps pushing its limits.
