Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is back tonight. Season 5 premieres Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. ET on FOX, with new episodes airing weekly on Thursdays. Fifteen celebrities are heading to Malaysia to take on a simulated Special Forces selection course, and the directing staff are not going easy on anyone.
The cast list is a pop culture crossover event. Brandi Glanville, Mauricio Umansky and his daughter Alexia, Bre Tiesi, Oliver Hudson, Candace Cameron-Bure, LeSean McCoy, Matt Barnes and former politician George Santos are all in the mix. Directing staff Rudy Reyes, Jason Fox, Mark Billingham and Jovon Quarles return to run the course, which means the pressure stays at maximum.
One fun detail: Bre Tiesi says her ex-husband Johnny Manziel, who appeared on Season 4, convinced her to join. His pitch was simple,“No, you can do this.”She also admitted she would hate discussing her feelings with the directing staff, which is basically half the show. No FOX? DIRECTV is offering a five-day free trial, so you can stream the premiere without spending a dime.
Who’s your early pick to make it through the whole course? Let us know in the comments.
