In the world of MrBeast, not every contestant is adored by the audience. Some have made waves for the wrong reasons, earning a less-than-favorable reputation among fans.
Here’s a look at some of the most hated MrBeast players who sparked controversy and criticism.
Jimmy Merchel
Jimmy Merchel became infamous on April 20, 2024, when he played the role of the “villain” in one of MrBeast’s challenges. Early in the game, Jimmy volunteered to be the team captain but quickly turned his leadership role into a power play, using manipulation and intimidation to control other players. His ruthless tactics, including eliminating fellow contestants without remorse—even kids—earned him widespread disdain.
Fan Reactions:
- “42 is a whole menace with no heart.”
- “This man did some Eisen-type stuff.”
His villainous persona might have made for good TV, but it certainly didn’t win him any friends.
Camilla Araujo
Camilla Araujo gained attention during MrBeast’s Squid Game challenge in November 2021, but her post-show behavior made her one of the most disliked contestants. After losing the challenge, she turned to monetizing her newfound fame in ways that rubbed many fans the wrong way, including starting an OnlyFans account and using her family to promote it.
Fan Reactions:
- “MrBeast made the wrong person famous.”
- “Losing a competition made you sell your body? Funniest concept ever heard.”
Camila’s blatant pursuit of fame and money alienated many, turning her into one of the most criticized figures in the MrBeast community.
Chris “Ava” Tyson
Once a beloved member of MrBeast’s crew, Chris “Ava” Tyson’s reputation took a nosedive in mid-2024 when past inappropriate behavior came to light. Allegations surfaced that Tyson had sent inappropriate messages to a minor and supported a controversial figure. The fallout was swift, with fans expressing their outrage and MrBeast eventually cutting ties with Tyson.
Fan Reactions:
- “Chris Tyson is a monster and a danger to kids.”
- “Ava had no excuse for what she did.”
Tyson’s actions led to a significant drop in public support, making her one of the most reviled former MrBeast team members.
Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio
The D’Amelio sisters faced backlash after winning MrBeast’s $300,000 Influencer Trivia Tournament in October 2020. Fans accused them of cheating by having their entire family assist during the competition, even though the rules implied that only the sisters should compete. Despite MrBeast letting it slide, viewers were not pleased.
Fan Reactions:
- “I was at that stream, everyone was spamming unfair.”
- “They already had a whole family and still cheated.”
This controversy tainted the D’Amelios’ win, and many fans were left with a sour taste regarding their victory.
These contestants might have participated in MrBeast’s challenges, but their actions during and after the games left many viewers feeling more than just disappointed.
Whether through ruthless gameplay, blatant opportunism, or controversial behavior, these players have earned their spots as some of the most hated in MrBeast’s history.
