UPDATE: Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel has officially quit Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test during tonight’s gripping episode, marking a shocking turn of events just four days into the rigorous selection process. The high-pressure challenges took a toll on the recruits, leading to increased stress and anxiety levels.
In a tense moment during Season 4, Episode 4, which aired on October 16, 2023, Manziel faced an “infiltration task” that required crawling through narrow, dirt-filled underground tunnels. As he encountered a dead end and felt the mounting pressure, he panicked and voluntarily withdrew from the course, leaving his team in a challenging position.
The latest episode is not for the faint-hearted, particularly those prone to claustrophobia. Just two weeks prior, reality star Teresa Giudice withdrew from the competition, causing distress for her daughter, Gia Giudice, who experienced a panic attack during one of the night’s demanding trials. Additionally, actor Jussie Smollett was medically discharged last week due to a dust allergy, further emphasizing the physical and mental challenges faced by the recruits.
Currently, the remaining contestants include Shawn Johnson East, Eric Decker, Kody Brown, Brianna LaPaglia, Chanel Iman, Mark Estes, Randall Cobb, Christie Pearce Rampone, Ravi Patel, and Nick Young. Each of them continues to push through the grueling selection process, testing their limits both mentally and physically.
