Do you watch Special Forces- Worlds Toughest Test?

[DizzyDesii]

A few celebs are recruited for military training to see if they can withstand the task. I have to go back and watch the first two eps that I missed but I’m watching tonights ep. The car was submerged into the water and they had to try to hold their breath. Gus is such a jerk and he keeps getting in trouble having to do more and more pushups 🤣 A few familiar faces include Kenya Moore (Real Housewives), Dwight Howard (NBA), Jamie Lynn Spears (Zoey 101), Hannah Brown (Bachelorette), Beverly Mitchell (7th Heaven), Mel B (Spice Girls), Dr Drew (Talk Show Host), Danny Amendola (NFL), Gus Kenworthy (Skiier), Kate Gosselin (Kate Plus 8), Nastia Lukin (Gymnast), Mike Piazza (MLB), Montell Jordan (Singer), and Carli Lloyd (FiFA). #FeelFreeToList

Kenya Moore is the one on the zipline in the pic I believe. Ex pageant queen is putting these olympics winners to shame. I’m proud of her ep 3. Can’t wait to go back and watch ep 1 and 2. But of course ep 4 will aire before then so I’ll be watching out of order again 🤣

I’m like in love with this show y'all. I finally saw ep 1 and 2. Kate and Jamie were mad annoying but Jamies story about nearly seeing her baby drown was sad and brought back a horrible memory for me when i tried to save a drowning disabled child when i was a kid. Montell Jordan is tall af like taller than Dwight Howard and Michael Jordan lol. Danny Amendola is absolute bae! Never been more turned on watching him standup to the drill seargeant 🤣 *kids dont try this shit irl*

[Anonymous]

yep and I'm loving it. This explains why Dwight Howard was trying to get back in the NBA this year. After doing this show, he must have been feeling himself. Now he's dominating in some Chinese league.

Also... Nastia <3 I'll watch anything she's in forever. I'm cheering for Mel B. HATE the skier guy though. You're so right. lmao. He a douche.

[DizzyDesii]

What ep are you on? I saw ep 3 first but i gotta go back and watch ep 1 and 2

[Opinion Owner]

i'm all caught up on them

[DizzyDesii]

Okay i’ll let you know when i am

[Opinion Owner]

new episode tomorrow... i think. u better get movin' :D

[DizzyDesii]

Dang i thought today was Monday

[DizzyDesii]

I finally watched special forces ep 1 and 2. Kate whined so dang much lol. The way she and Jamie fell backwards off that helicopter 🤣 And i had no idea Montell was so tall

[AimeeKyle]

I have still only seen episode one. I need to watch the ones that are out now.

[TrillXHippy]

No but I’ll watch it and check it out today

[DizzyDesii]

Yea let me know what you think. I’ve only seen ep 3 but next week they’ll show reruns of the ones i missed

[TrillXHippy]

Having to go under water is crazy also when you gotta go you gotta go so I don’t like what the dude said to the woman

[DizzyDesii]

What Gus said to Nastia?

[TrillXHippy]

Yeah to me it seemed like he was being a smart ***

[DizzyDesii]

He is and im glad they made him do pushups

[TrillXHippy]

I kinda missed some of it but overall it’s a cool show. Mel B couldn’t take it anymore and she was outta there

[DizzyDesii]

Yea her and Nastia. I honestly wanted to see Mel get grilled for sneaking in cigs. But lets not spoil anymore yet. I think it comes on Wed or Thurs but i won't get to see ep 1 and 2 til Saturday

[SnowedIn]

Never watched this.

Training is one thing. Now do it for a four year enlistment.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you are amazing. Because i feel myself choking just watching people hold their breath underwater. I remember when they tried to recruit some of us for the Marines in high school. I was never interested so I don't know why they were pushy with me, but my friend joined and did the “sit at the bottom of the pool” thing and yea, no 🥺

[SnowedIn]

:) Well, the special forces stuff is WAY beyond me. I did boot camp but long haul Military service is difficult enough but what spec ops does is an order of magnitude more demanding. They have my admiration.

[RavVid]

I'm aware of it - there is an Australian version I think. I haven't watched it yet.

I am quite sure I will find it difficult to watch because of what we ask from service forces personnel and the consequences to them. While it will be fun to watch celebs trying to cope, I'd be thinking of this song set in the Vietnam era.

Sorry for being a downer.

[DizzyDesii]

Were you ever in the military?

[RavVid]

Fortunately not. I just hate how combat vets get treated. SAS is our special forces - Special Air Services.. So the Australian version was SAS Australia. As it was it was coming out in 2019/20 our media was laying into SAS veteran who one a Victoria Cross in Afghanistan.

You have to do something special to win a VC. like charging a machine gun nest with a bayonet. That particular SAS vet took on three machine gun nests that had his troop pinned down. The media crucified him as one of the machine guns was operated by a 15 yo. The media was so viscous it went to a defamation trial - 110 days long and finished last June. The judgement is still to come out but I hope he wins.

i couldn't stomach the hypocrisy of the media making money from a SAS reality show whilst at the same time tearing down an extraordinary brave SAS vet. I hope the judgement goes in his favor

[DizzyDesii]

Wow like it doesn't matter the age of the shooter. For him to take that on is MAJOR

[RavVid]

Yeah. it was a pretty major hazard to his health and well being. Cancel culture got onto it thoroughly and were saying things like it was unfair to have highly trained SAS forces. Stupid stuff.

A lot of vets don't come out well from their experience. Typically a vet that survives lives 10 years less than non-coms and that is kinda the point of that song.

The disgusting hypocrisy of the media running a pile-on on a SAS VC vet and making money out of the SAS brand at the same time triggers me. Sorry for going off.

[DizzyDesii]

No its totally understandable

[AimeeKyle]

I watched the first 2 hour episode but haven’t watched the the next one yet. Four people dropped off already which was kinda crazy. I’ll probably watch the next one later this week.

[DizzyDesii]

I guess its not hard to guess the four since they’re not on ep 3 that I’m watching right now lol. But the way they’re getting in trouble this ep, you can tell they want to go home. And like the trainers aren't even that bad. The recruits just be doin silly shit and dont expect to be disciplined

[AimeeKyle]

I know…the trainers aren’t that bad. I have been treated worse by my football coaches.
Dr. Drew was dropped for medical reasons (dehydration after just 24hrs).

[DizzyDesii]

Nooo stop spoiling. I said i’d watch the two i miss when they show reruns next week lol. But i feel their team is more of bullies than the trainers

[AimeeKyle]

Oops…. I missed that. Sorry.

[DizzyDesii]

I caught up and finally watched special forces ep 1 and 2. Kate whined so dang much lol. The way she and Jamie fell backwards off that helicopter 🤣 And i had no idea Montell was so tall

[Sparkie460]

I saw the coming attractions but I haven't seen the show. Since we like a lot of the same shows I might watch it next time it's on

[DizzyDesii]

Yea give it a try. It comes on Sundays. So far they played 3 eps

[Sparkie460]

I'll be thinking about you choking if they have to go under water. Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣

[Rudon00]

🤔🤔🤔 first-time im hearing about this. What channel is it on?

It looks like a well popular celebrities cast😍😍

[DizzyDesii]

Its on Fox channel

[Rudon00]

Okay great. I got to check it out .

You ever watch or heard about this Show on VH1 Dating Naked. it cancelled after season 2.😩😩. I really enjoyed that show.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i didn't like it since it was censored lmao

[Rudon00]

Yeah it was😩😩

[Smoothing]

No, because anything shown on TV concerning the military, if not news, doesn't reflect the truth about the military.

It is just for entertainment.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh okay

[Guy13]

As a boy of a military men, I’ve seen all I want t already. Not 📺 on this one. 90 day fiancé over that one…

[DizzyDesii]

I understand

[Msputiton]

I seen the commercials.

I think it looks hilarious to see people try to perform the most intense training.

[DizzyDesii]

Especially celebs. Hard to take them seriously but Kenya is trying her damndest! Love her

[Msputiton]

Yeah. It's really easy for people to say they can do things until they actually have to🤣

[DavidRaul]

No i haven't watched it. I don't think it would be anywhere near to the real training and moreover celebrities can't handle the real brutal test.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea the celebs are quitting left and right and the trainers are actually goin somewhat easy on them

[DavidRaul]

Is it based on the Marines or Navy SEALS?

[DizzyDesii]

Special Forces does some of everything i think

[DavidRaul]

Ohhhkk

[Smoothing]

I would say any reality show about the special forces is based on the Marines. The Marines are commandos, but the training of special forces is a much tougher training. So what you are watching is not even Navy SEALs as Navy SEALs are part of the special operation forces. Slightly below SAS, but still above the Marines.

Just to finish off, people actually die in special forces training, by the way. So the show on TV is just using the word "Special Forces" as a brand, but it has about no reflection on the real thing. Besides, no government wants to flaunt its tactics for the enemy to see. So you will never see that kind of stuff on TV.

[DizzyDesii]

@Smoothing thats the first thing that came to mind like wait aren't they showing the enemy most of what they do to survive... and tonights ep they have to fall backwards from a cliff (a rope is attached) but i can tell that had it not been tv, a lot of people wouldn't survive

[Smoothing]

No, what they are showing on TV is standard stuff that the Marines do. Nothing you are seeing is secretive. What the special forces do is classified and more so depending on the level. What the Marines do is not a secret. But there are stages before getting to dangerous stunts.

Also, all people who join the special forces have to have served in the military before joining. You can not just walk in and decide to be part of the special forces. They only take either active or ex Army, Air Force or Navy, and the Marines.
If you don't fall into that category, you will not be allowed to join.

But yes, being a commando is tough in itself, hence why what you are seeing is still dangerous. But it is not special forces stuff.

[DizzyDesii]

@Smoothing yea i knew that car under water stunt seemed familiar to something my friend in the marines did. Thanks for explaining

[kellytheman]

I haven't seen it but I have DVR so I can watch it later. I been mostly watching NFL wildcard games over the weekend. I probably try to watch it over the week.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i know football comes first lol

[Lookitsmadmax1994]

I'm going to start watching it. A other good one to watch on YouTube is the US Water Polo teams doing BUDS with the navy seals.

https://youtu. be/u7zdx8T1ATI

[DizzyDesii]

I gotta check that

[Lookitsmadmax1994]

Do it! Lmk what you think

[DizzyDesii]

I am in love with this show! I've seen all the first 4 eps

[TheAfrikan]

Ma first time hearing about it, is it interesting.

[DizzyDesii]

I started with ep 3 and yes very

[TheAfrikan]

Possibly if it is on Netflix am checking on it.

[DizzyDesii]

Its so good

[Chazmatazz269]

No. I generally strongly dislike “reality” series.

[ShadezMcgee]

Didn't watch it

[Jamie05rhs]

Never heard of it. Sounds interesting, though.

[DizzyDesii]

It is so far

[Jamie05rhs]

Nice

[DizzyDesii]

Did you try it

[Jamie05rhs]

@DizzyDesii. No; sorry lol. I have a lot going on in my life right now. I don't really have time for TV.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nah, I'm not into that stuff.

[msc545]

Do you really watch this stuff?

[DizzyDesii]

Yes and I’m enjoying it

[msc545]

This has to be ultimately defined as cheap tabloid TV that's mostly fake

[Abdulwahh]

No I never did

[Guardian45]

NEVER heard of this.

[DizzyDesii]

Me either until today. But it started this month. Tonight was 3 eps in
