Imagine being trapped in a narrow, dirt-filled tunnel, your heart pounding as you struggle to breathe—this is exactly what the recruits on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test faced in tonight’s heart-stopping episode. And it’s no wonder another recruit threw in the towel. But here’s where it gets controversial: was it a moment of weakness or a smart decision to avoid a full-blown panic attack? Let’s dive in.
Now four grueling days into the selection process, the recruits are reaching their breaking points—both mentally and physically. The Directing Staff (DS) shows no mercy, pushing them harder than ever. Two weeks ago, Teresa Giudice voluntarily stepped away, leaving her daughter Gia Giudice to face the challenges alone. Gia, in fact, had a panic attack during tonight’s episode, highlighting just how intense the pressure has become. Last week, Jussie Smollett was medically discharged due to a dust allergy, which might have been a blessing in disguise considering the anxiety-inducing tasks ahead.
So, who quit tonight? Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel handed in his armband after a claustrophobia-triggering ‘infiltration task’ forced him to crawl through tight underground tunnels. When faced with a dead end, Manziel panicked and decided to withdraw, leaving his team in a tough spot. But is this a failure of character, or a realistic response to an extreme situation? Let’s discuss in the comments.
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 holding strong—for now. But with challenges like these, how long can they last?
If you’re wondering how to catch all the drama, here’s the lowdown: Cable subscribers can tune in Thursday nights 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, which is currently offering a one-week free trial. Don’t miss out—this season is proving to be one of the most intense yet.
But here’s the real question: Are these challenges pushing recruits too far, or are they necessary to test true resilience? Share your thoughts below—this is one debate you won’t want to miss!
