Mr Beast ends Finger on the App challenge early with four $20k winners YouTube: MrBeast\/Unsplash[jwplayer h3XPfMqQ]YouTube sensation Jimmy \u2018Mr Beast\u2019 Donaldson has officially ended his \u2018Finger on the App\u2019 challenge, paying off the final four contestants to end the strenuous challenge after three long days. MrBeast has become synonymous with YouTube challenges that see either his friends or his viewers winning thousands of dollars or tonnes of expensive technology. As he\u2019s continued to up the ante, making the challenges even more intense and adding bigger payouts, his Finger on the App challenge has swept the globe. It\u2019s pretty simple, download his specific app and keep your finger on the screen longer than anybody else that is competing. Though, as you might expect, the field whittled down pretty quickly. Players have bowed out because they\u2019ve answered a call, their phone has ran out of battery, or because someone has sabotaged them (\u201cHey, Siri\u201d). Yet, the YouTuber has now cut down the field himself with cash. Late into the day on July 2, Mr Beast dropped a dastardly tweet that suggested he was willing to start buying people out of the tournament. He quickly followed that up by appearing in livestreams of people taking part in the challenge, offering them $5,000 to bow out. MrBeast gave them five minutes to make their decision \u2013 scoop up the easy $5,000 or hold on and try to bag the top prize of $25,000. He revealed that two quickly took him up on the offer and bowed out with the quick cash. Offered him $5,000 and he took his finger off the app! 9 people remain. pic.twitter.com\/rCYJ8LvCr4 \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 3, 2020 On July 3, the 22-year-old went a step further and called up another player to offer them a whopping $10,000 in exchange for taking their finger off the app. \u201cI just\u2026 I want this to end,\u201d the participant said in a phone call conversation shared on Twitter by the YouTuber. \u201cWell, dude. I\u2019ll give you $10,000 if you take your finger off right now,\u201d Mr Beast replied. \u201c$10,000. Has your name on it.\u201d After hesitating for a couple of seconds, the contestant agreed to take the cash and quit early, leaving just four players in the battle for victory. Got another person to take their finger off the app for $10,000! 4 players remain pic.twitter.com\/zzaF61MFpk \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 3, 2020 Obviously, some players ignored his offer and powered on in the hope of winning the top prize, but the players who quit were obviously content with taking the guaranteed money. Dear the four remaining contestants with your finger still on the app, I\u2019m ending it here. Three days is insane! You ALL win and will ALL receive $20,0000! CONGRATULATIONS! \u2014 MrBeast (@MrBeast) July 3, 2020 Maybe less content now that they found out, just a few hours later, the top four were each been bought out, at $20,000 apiece. One of the weirdest, most draining challenges has finally reached its conclusion. Four people are $20,000 richer, one is $10,000 richer, and another two are $5,000 richer. In a challenge meant to test how far people would go to win $25,000, we actually ended up finding out MrBeast\u2019s own limits\u2014and that he\u2019d eventually pay about $80,000 just for this whole thing to end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
