Season 4 of Special Forces: World’s Hardest Test has delivered a few of the most intense moments the series has seen yet — and the competition has now officially come to an end. Each season, the FOX reality show pushes celebrities through brutal physical and psychological challenges modeled after real Special Forces training, and this installment raised the stakes with its first-ever pairs, including spouses and even a mother-daughter duo.
The directing staff — Rudy Reyes, Jason Fox, Mark Billingham, and Jovon Charles — put the recruits through a relentless lineup of tasks meant to check endurance, discipline, and mental resilience. As at all times, success isn’t nearly surviving the drills; it’s about earning the DS’s trust as someone they’d decide to stand beside them in an actual mission.
With Season 4 now wrapped, only a select few made it to the finish line. Below, discover who accomplished the total 10-day course. (Warning: spoilers ahead.)
Who Voluntarily Withdrew From Season 4 of Special Forces?
On day 1, Brittany Cartwright withdrew, followed by Teresa Giudice on day 2, because she couldn’t watch her daughter, Gia Giudice, fight one other recruit.
Other VWs were Johnny Manziel, Nick Young, Ravi V. Patel, Jessie James Decker (to accompany her husband, Eric Decker, who was medically withdrawn) and Randall Cobb.
Who Got Eliminated From Special Forces Season 4?
Several people were medically withdrawn this season, while just a few others had their armbands taken by the staff. Those that were eliminated attributable to medical reasons were Jussie Smollett, Mark Estes, Christie Pearce Rampone and Eric, as previously noted.
The recruits who were discharged for other reasons were Eva Marcille and Chanel Iman.
Who Wins Season 4 of Special Forces?
After Randall withdrew on day 8, five recruits remained: Gia, Kody Brown, Andrew East, Shawn Johnson East and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, who nearly VW’d earlier that day but persevered.
After a brutal final challenge that included underwater dunking and being buried alive, only Shawn Johnson East and Gia Giudice emerged victorious.
