Internet comedian Sam Hyde has accused Twitch star Kai Cenat of “copying” his idea for a Hunger Games-style event, the comedian revealed that the plot of the next season of his show Fishtank largely repeats the mirrors with Cenat’s idea.
Hyde’s Fishtank show based on Big Brother will feature participants who are locked in a house for 6 weeks and literally everything they do is televised live on the stream.
This June 25, Fishtank is taking an extreme turn with the launch of ‘Fishtank All-Stars Vampire Bloodgames.’ In this new season, six former winners will be placed in the woods and “hunted” by vampires at night.
A trailer for the project, released on May 10, promises “real life FPS gameplay” and “real life survival,” indicating a more intense and immersive experience for both participants and viewers.

Kai Cenat vs Sam Hyde
Hyde has taken issue with the timing and similarity of Cenat’s event, which he believes mimics the premise of Fishtank’s upcoming season. “We spent months and millions [of dollars] making a Hunger Games season, and they’re copying it lol… they will continue to pretend we don’t exist!” Hyde alleged.
