Imagine being trapped in a narrow, dirt-filled tunnel, your heart pounding as you struggle to breathe—this was the reality for the recruits on tonight’s episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. And it’s no wonder another contestant threw in the towel. But who exactly quit, and what does this mean for the remaining recruits? Let’s dive in.
Now in their fourth grueling day of the selection process, the contestants are feeling the strain both mentally and physically. The Directing Staff (DS) shows no mercy, pushing them to their limits. Just two weeks ago, Teresa Giudice voluntarily withdrew, leaving her daughter Gia Giudice to face the challenges alone—including a panic attack during tonight’s particularly intense task. Last week, Jussie Smollett was medically discharged due to a dust allergy, which might have been a blessing in disguise considering the anxiety-inducing challenges this episode had in store.
But here’s where it gets controversial: In tonight’s episode, former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel handed in his armband and quit. During an ‘infiltration task’ that required recruits to crawl through tight underground tunnels, Manziel panicked when forced to reroute his team after hitting a dead end. Was this a moment of weakness, or a smart decision to avoid a full-blown breakdown? You decide.
This raises a thought-provoking question: How much pressure is too much, and at what point does pushing through become self-sabotage? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
So, who’s still in the game? Gia Giudice, Shawn Johnson East, Andrew East, Jessie James Decker, Eric Decker, Kody Brown, Brianna LaPaglia, Chanel Iman, Mark Estes, Randall Cobb, Christie Pearce Rampone, Ravi Patel, and Nick Young are all holding strong—for now.
If you’re wondering how to catch this heart-pounding drama, here’s the lowdown: Cable subscribers can tune in every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. For cord-cutters, platforms like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV offer live streaming options. New episodes also drop Friday mornings on Hulu and FOX One, with the latter currently offering a one-week free trial. Don’t miss out—this is one show where the stakes are as high as the tension.
