"WILD": Beast Games fans react to Akira choosing "3 black woman" for elimination

Prime Video premiered Beast Games Episode 7, aired on January 23, 2025. The seventh episode of the game show featured multiple players going home after unexpected eliminations.

Seeing how Players chosen as Captains are then supposed to pick three "least favorite" participants created even more drama in the episode. Later on, those least favorite players are nominated and advanced for eliminations.

The episode started with 21 players advancing further on Beast Games. One of the key incidents that happened during the show's seventh episode was the Elimination Train task. Player 539, aka Akira Andrews, was chosen as the Captain for that.

He then chose his three least favorite players. They all were three women of color. After witnessing his choice of nominated participants, it sparked a huge debate among players and viewers. Some fans took to social media platform X and shared their views.

A fan wrote on X, referring to Akira "choosing 3 black" female participants:

"Akira choosing 3 black woman as his least favorite people in the game is WILD! #BeastGames."

Another fan referred to Akira's choice as "questionable" and shared:

"Akira's choice of least favourite people was a bit questionable #BeastGames."

One more fan commented:

"That Akira guy really chose to eliminate 3 black women, not one single man, not a single white person. That is pure RACISM and he not winning this #BeastGames."

A user mentioned how Akira was also eliminated later on during the same episode of Beast Games:

"It was satisfying to see the contestant who put Akira and friend up get eliminated as well. Appropriate that she eliminated herself via the "unknown" player. #BeastGames."

A person wrote about Akira and another Player, Jeremy:

"I dont know why they like Akira so much...same as Jeremy. They're off to me... #BeastGames."

A netizen commented:

"Started the episode a fan of Akira and left it highly annoyed he choose to eliminate those three women in the first challenge.. yuck #beastgames."

A fan mentioned Akira's choice of his "three least favorite" participants:

"The look when Akira chooses his least three favorite people: #BeastGames."

Another fan mentioned Akira eliminating three female participants of color:

"Update: I don't like player 952 again, her attitude is horrendous, but also Akira eliminating 3 black women is nasty work!#BeastGames."

Beast Games Episode 7: Akira's selection of "three least favorite players" and more

Beast Games Episode 7 featured Player 539, Akira Andrews, as the Captain during the Elimination Train challenge. When asked to select three of his least favorite participants, he chose Players 952, 182, and 626.

Further on the elimination task, he had to choose from:

• Save three of his least favorite participants,
• Save a brand-new Lamborghini.

Beast Games Player 539 selected the second option and won a luxurious car, while three nominated participants were sent home.

Mia, aka Player 952, who was among the elimination participants, said:

"Seems like it's all black females, what does that tell you? ('How do the three of you feel about Akira picking you?', asked MrBeast)... It's the microcosm of America, the black woman is always last."

On the other hand, Akira mentioned how the three eliminated players' contributions and hard work were acknowledged, but he had to decide.

After watching Akira choose three female participants, who were later eliminated because of his choices, fans reacted to the situation.

Some fans supported Player 539's decisions, while some criticized him for selecting the female players from the show.
