Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

A very generous 6

The show could be so much better if they had selected people who had a chance to make it through a full interview in an Air Force recruiting office.

I understand it's a "Reality" show, probably more for couch veal types, but for the love of Christmas pudding, pick some people who didn't need to be institutionalized.

The first 45 minutes of the first episode was a drama rama fest of such a waste of time. Some of those people shouldn't even be legally allowed to drive there were so messed up. "I miss my kids...." "I'm a washed up singer...." "I used to act."

We all have issues, and challenges in life, and nobody cares if you are so and so sister, or boo-hoo, I'm not famous anymore. This should have been for the open public of the 10s of millions who didn't get to be an Olympic athlete, actor, or play pro ball. Or related to some celebrity.

These people are losers, and quitters, and a couple who were just bored. The ones that surprised me the most was an Olympic athlete, who quit. Actors are the least impressive, since most mediocre at best drop outs. Anyone can act and pretend, it's why drama and theater are so popular in high school and college. It's fun to pretend!

This could have been far more interesting if it was more challenging, instead of dealing with people who want to quit every 5 minutes on the show. It should have been more boot camp style. Make it harder leadership wise, and offer an internship or money as the incentive, instead of losers quitting in day 3 "Yeah, I'm done, I did what I came here to do." Quitters and losers, that show had no business selecting mental people for such an environment.

It's interesting though. If those loser had done 4 years of the Military when they were younger, they wouldn't have the issues they had as adults. The Military is the best kept secret in the world. Do the show again, and make it for the common person, with award and incentives with more leadership challenges.

While I agree the cast could use some more realistic choices as many of those chosen had no chance from the start. I understand why though as there has been 1 constant who has dominated without any expectations whatsoever.

We really get to the deep characteristics of these people as they broken down mentally, physically and emotionally.. It's truly one of the best parts of this show. Makes these celebrities seem so much more relatable to the average man

Of course it's a watered down version of the real training but it's a TV show! It's entertaining and no joke by any means. They are doing grueling tasks the average joe would quit on an hour.

If they cut out the unnecessary drama and throw in some better contestants, this could be a successful formula for the ages.

I think this series is great. Yes it gets better as it progresses and the whiny annoying ones are gone. Some of the casting was iffy...I mean Kate Gosselin? Ew. Jamie Lynn Spears? Lol. And a couple others I can't even remember who were gone early I wasn't too disappointed about. But as it gets closer to the end I really enjoy watching and respect the effort put forth by everyone on there. It's an interesting group from a wide range of backgrounds, from athletes to politicians to entertainers to washed-up reality tv "stars", and they all seem to get along really well. The challenges are really intense. Overall it's entertaining and worth a watch!

First let me set some of the previous reviewers straight. Just because an athlete retired doesn't make that athlete washed up. EVERYONE RETIRES. Danny Amendola is a 2x Super Bowl Champion. Dwight Howard is an NBA Champion and has an Olympic gold medal. The other athletes on the show are just as accomplished. Show respect for these incredible athletes.

As for the non-athletes, I have respect for some. Hanna Brown, Kenya Moore, get my respect. These two women have great will and determination. There are two who didn't get to show what they could have done because of injuries. The rest I would agree with those who say there's too much crying and whining. Jamie Spears may be the worst, she's totally on it just to be on the tv screens.

The obstacles they must overcome are legit. And they must overcome while drill instructors are in their faces yelling. It's fun to watch how they respond. It's also nice to see how these very rich and privileged individuals experience or get a taste of what our real heroes who serve go through.

I absolutely love this show for several reasons. First it takes celebrities, semi-famous or not, and slams them back down to Earth from their cushy lifestyles. Yes this is a highly modified version of the actual special forces, or any military training for that matter, but even a modified version can be brutal. Second you have actual former special forces members leading this program. They understand that the celebs are in no way physically or mentally equipped for the actual training but nevertheless still push them beyond their limits. In a way it humbles the celebs and seeing this transition is quite gratifying. I hope this show continues with over celebs who want to take on the challenge....if they dare.
