MrBeast recalls working with Survivor's Jeff Probst on season 2 of Beast Games

MrBeast has introduced a Survivor crossover in season 2 of his reality show, Beast Games, and fans are excited to see the survival show's host, Jeffrey Lee Probst.

MrBeast will introduce a special episode in the new season where the contestants will go to Fiji, the longtime filming home of Survivor. In the trailer, Jeff boldly tells the 200 contestants:

"You're on my island now, you're not in the big city anymore."

According to Dexerto, MrBeast spoke about the fulfilling experience of working with the TV show host during advanced special screening of Season 2.

“The Survivor team was amazing. We filmed on their island. The same crew who builds the sets for Survivor also built the sets for the collab, and we used their camera crew and everything so it really would feel like Survivor. Jeff was just awesome. He was super engaged, and that was the same set they used for Tribal. And because of all this, it just felt so natural.”

But that is not what is making rounds on the internet. During the filming of the show, Probst reportedly made a cheeky comment towards MrBeast, whose real name is James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson.

"You know, when you're in control, you don't have to shout," said Probst referring to Jimmy's loud and hyper way of talking in his videos to engage the audience.

Donaldson also found it funny, which goes with his happy-go-lucky usual demeanour. However, the internet had much to say about the exchange.

Fans react to MrBeast and Jeff Probst's interaction

The internet had an interesting reaction to Jeff's comment. While some expressed it was a good lesson for the YouTuber to learn, others questioned why MrBeast needed to scream in the first place.

One person pointed out: "Bro, Mr. Beast just got roasted by Jeff Probst and took it like a champ. 'Don’t have to shout when you’re in control'? Peak humility moment—classic Hollywood mentorship energy, and honestly kinda hilarious."

Another said: "That is funny and actually a good lesson. Even someone used to being in charge can learn from someone with more experience. It shows humility and the value of listening to advice, even when it comes from unexpected places."

One user commented: "It’s almost like treating people with decency when challenging them for money should be the standard….."

While another defended Jimmy: "Mr Beast has experimented over the years himself with what draws views down to how he shoots, to how he talks on the videos. Jeff wouldn’t know that though, he’s not self made like Jimmy. Jeff’s been being told what to do by executives for 25 years."

Another user said: "Imagine being coached on your own show.. 😆"

Season 2 of the show will begin streaming January 7, 2026, on Prime Video.
