Celebrities Face Extreme Jungle Conditions
The latest season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is set to push a new group of celebrity recruits to their absolute limits. In an exclusive preview of the upcoming season, stars including Mauricio Umansky, Oliver Hudson, and Collin Gosselin are shown leaving their glamorous lives behind to confront the brutal realities of the Malaysian wilderness.
The intensity of the environment is highlighted immediately by the training staff. As veteran United States Marine Corps member Rudy Reyes warns, «The jungle can kill you before the enemy even has a chance. Do you have what it takes to be one of us?»
No Eliminations, Only Endurance
Unlike typical reality competitions, this series offers no safety nets. According to former UK Special Forces soldier Jason “Foxy” Fox, the 15 participants—hailing from the worlds of cinema, reality television, and social media—will have to adjust to grueling conditions and hazardous terrain. Fox notes that many of these stars are used to being pampered, but in this experiment, there are no voting rounds and no eliminations; the only objective is survival.
Reflecting on the daunting nature of the challenge, participant Candace Cameron Bure admits, «This is a little nutso for me. I’m going to face some of my biggest fears.»
Tensions Rise Among the Cast
The physical challenges are only half the battle, as interpersonal dynamics also begin to fray. Actress Ruby Rose expressed clear disapproval upon discovering that controversial figure George Santos would be joining the cast. «I don’t believe that everyone deserves a second chance,» she remarked. «Nothing’s ever deterred me from speaking my mind.»
Similarly, Brandi Glanville found the seating arrangements ironic, quipping, «We’re not going to talk politics or religion, and look who I’m sitting in between,» while gesturing toward Santos and Bure. The group also features notable figures such as former NFL star LeSean McCoy, Bre Tiesi, Hannah Stocking, and world champion boxer Alycia Baumgardner, all of whom are set to undergo the rigorous training.
Premiere Details
The fifth season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is scheduled to premiere on Fox on Thursday, September 24, at 9 p.m. ET. Viewers will be able to stream new episodes the following day on Hulu.
