UPDATE: Tensions ran high in tonight’s episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test as former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel made the shocking decision to quit after a grueling challenge. The latest episode, which aired on October 16, 2023, put recruits to the test in claustrophobic underground tunnels, escalating the pressure and drama.
Tonight’s episode was not for the faint-hearted. The recruits faced an intense “infiltration task,” forcing them to navigate through tight, dirt-filled tunnels. As the challenges mounted, Manziel experienced a panic attack while attempting to reroute his team at a dead end, leading him to voluntarily withdraw from the course. This marks a significant moment in the competition, where emotional and mental resilience is just as crucial as physical strength.
Earlier in the season, Teresa Giudice left the show voluntarily, leaving her daughter Gia Giudice behind, who faced her own panic attack during a challenge. Additionally, Jussie Smollett was medically discharged last week due to a dust allergy. These developments highlight the intense mental and physical strain the recruits are under.
As of now, the remaining contestants include 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.
