The fourth episode of Beast Games Season 2, titled “The Survivor Takeover,” aired on January 14, 2026, and picked up directly from the cliffhanger involving the $1 million Captain Bribe. This episode also introduced a major crossover with the reality series Survivor, co-hosted by Jeff Probst.
The $1 Million Captain Bribe
The cliffhanger from Episode 3 was quickly resolved. Player 126, JT from the Pink Team, accepted the $1 million bribe, walking away with the cash while remaining in the game. Shockingly, his four teammates — John (#112), Brandon (#31), Luke (#42), and Mia (#952) — were immediately eliminated. Mia, a returning Season 1 fan-favorite and previous private island winner, was one of the biggest surprises of the episode.
The Cannonball Hunt
To determine which players would compete in the Survivor crossover, MrBeast hid 10 cannonballs across Beast City. The first 10 players to find and fire a cannon earned a trip to Survivor Island to compete for a secondary prize.
The players advancing to Survivor Island were: Ian (#148), Tyler (#162), Ethan (#21), Nick (#118), JC (#566), Sue (#91), Jeff (#831), Hannah (#99), Kady (#38), and Auguste (#172).
Survivor Island Challenges
Challenge 1: Team Relay
The 10 players were split into two teams. The Yellow Team — Ian, Tyler, Ethan, Nick, and JC — won, while the Pink Team — Sue, Jeff, Hannah, Kady, and Auguste — was sent to the jury.
Challenge 2: Get a Grip (Endurance)
The Yellow Team faced an endurance test, clinging to a pole as long as possible. During the challenge, MrBeast offered Ethan (#21) a $50,000 bribe to quit, which he accepted. Ian (#148) and JC (#566) were the last two standing.
Tribal Council and Winner
An eight-person jury, made up of the five Pink Team members and three Yellow Team members who fell or quit, voted unanimously to award Ian (#148) the $1.8 million private island prize. JC (#566), despite losing, received a special “$10 Million Coin” from MrBeast. If he reaches the Final 6, the coin allows him to double the season’s grand prize to $10 million.
