Special Forces World’s Toughest Test Recap for 9/24/2026
It is the season premiere for Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on Fox. Fifteen celebrities are in Southeast Asia to prove they are in it to win it.
As they chat and get to know one another, they are dragged out and taken out of the room with black cloaks on their heads. They are then greeted by the staff….all while being scared out of their minds.
Is Brandi Glanville hitting on the staff? She had silicone poisoning, which caused her to become very ill. My heart breaks for her.
Rudy explains what to expect and that they will face jungle hell. He then tells them they must fall out of a plane and if they do it incorrectly, they will fail.
George Santos helps Candace Cameron Bure practice the fall.
Everyone seems nervous, especially Brandi.
For some reason, Ruby Rose is on the ground.
George passes the fall but struggles with the swimming and getting out of the water. Despite getting help, he keeps falling in the water.
Oliver Hudson wants to make his family proud. He passes.
Candace passes, as does Alysha Bumgardner.
Collin Gosselin fails.
One by one, the others go, with several passes and fails. Hannah Stocking tries to joke, but the staff is not amused.
LaShawn Shady McCoy fails.
Brandi also fails.
There’s Ruby! She is given an alternative way to do it since she has medical issues. I had no idea she had gotten so injured on Batwoman….and she broke her neck twice. Poor girl, but she is so strong.
Brandi really got hurt and has to see a medic….she is medically withdrawn. Poor thing is in tears.
George falls into the mud on the walk to the barracks.
Hannah freaks out over snakes.
Foxy explains the difficulty of living in this kind of area.
Billy talks about how the military gave him a new lease on life.
George is the duty recruit.
The DS discuss the recruits and their actions thus far.
George cleans while talk about him in the other room.
Ruby was outside and heard the DS screaming for George and runs off scared, saying they are screaming and she has no idea why.
George goes to the DS and already plans on quitting. He keeps the DS waiting and they are not happy. He is forced to do pushups and asks for his meds. Everyone watches until they are told to stop. The staff keeps yelling at him but George doesn’t quit. He and Shady go to a walk together to wash their hands.
Rudy tells the other DS what happened and they decide to call him in for tactical questioning….all as the DS do a quick Google search on him. He is questioned about his prior lies and bad behavior and talks about how it all took a toll on his life.
The DS is not interested and tell him to quit with the excuses. George talks about President Trump giving him a second chance, which makes them even angrier…..especially since he keeps making excuses. They demand he commits to it.
The recruits try to bond while George sleeps. Everyone then goes to sleep, only to be woken up and called outside….with George bringing up the rear once again.
They do a punishment beasting to push them to the limit.
David Charvet seems to be doing well and says he is here to get a feeling he hasn’t felt in a long time.
George keeps struggling.
Candace is digging deep to finish, relying on her faith to get her through.
Everyone except George finishes. Mauricio goes to help him, as does one of the girls….either Hannah or Alexia Umansky….I couldn’t see her face.
Now they are punished by being sprayed and have to hold sandbags above their heads.
Ruby is struggling and as the DS screams at her, the recruits cheer her on.
George apologizes for letting them down.
More next week, stay tuned.
