YouTube personality MrBeast recently partnered with Amazon to make the controversial game show Beast Games , which boasts the biggest cash prize in TV history: $5 million. Though the competition is still airing, the YouTuber, who was hit with lawsuits from contestants over poor working conditions, "chronic mistreatment," and sexual harassment on the set of the game show, is already planning the second season. Fans are divided about the show, with many finding it to be exploitative, like a real-life Squid Game. MrBeast is leaning into the comparison by trying to create a rivalry between the Netflix smash hit and Beast Games, even if that means copying the show's set down to every last detail. Fans 'sick to their stomachs' after watching 'working class torture porn' game show by MrBeast 'Dystopian' Beast Games has viewers calling MrBeast 'modern day' Roman Emperor Beast Games is described as a reality competition show where a thousand contestants "compete in physical, mental, and social challenges for a chance to win a five million dollar cash prize." MrBeast was recently called out on X for hijacking Netflix's Squid Game season 2 advertisements to promote the third episode of Beast Games. In 2021, MrBeast first recreated the Squid Game set for his YouTube channel, and again for his Amazon game show. Squid Game was released on Netflix in 2021, and quickly became the most streamed show in the world. The highly anticipated second season was released on the streaming platform this week. In a post on X, MrBeast asked his 31 million followers, "Should I recreate Squid Games 2 in real life like we did with the first season?," assuming there will be a second season. It's unclear if the billionaire is taking liberties or if he has paid the creators of Squid Game to copy the set and concept. Either way, MrBeast is doing everything he can to ride the coattails of Squid Game 2's success this week to promote his controversial game show.

New passion can be ticking close to a stopped clock While the poster shared an example on their Scuba gear, the hidden hair tie is available on a variety of brands, including Lululemon. "I'm sure most of y'all already knew this and I'm super late to the game," the Redditor wrote. I had the worst itchy scalp and dandruff so gave up washing my hair - it hasn’t been shampooed for A YEAR "But I just saw on the website, as I happened to be wearing my Scuba half-zip, that one of the features of all the scuba hoodies are the emergency hair tie." The unnamed user went on to describe the design feature as "so cool." Reddit users shared their thoughts on the hack in the comments section. "And the hair ties can be purchased as a replacement zipper pull if yours ever break," wrote one reader. "Oh wow. I was today year's old when I learned this," said another person. Hairstyles that are kind to your locks Loose Braids : Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage. Low Ponytail : A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging. Messy Bun : A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties. Soft Waves : Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools. Half-Up, Half-Down : This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp. Headbands and Scarves : Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable. Loose Plaits for Sleeping : Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight. "It’s the same on Define jackets! Such a cute little feature!" commented a third Redditor. "Lots of the jackets and some of the bags come with these emergency ties! It’s great," wrote another commenter. "Oh my God! Thanks for sharing it. Great to know that," said one reader.
