Past contestants include Olympians, athletes from the NFL, MLB, NBA, reality stars, musicians, actors, models, and dancers.

This will mark the first season where they will have spouses compete against each other.

Jessie James Decker announced her involvement in the show with a promotional photo and the teaser trailer on her Instagram account.

Country fans might also know Brianna LaPaglia, who is a Barstool Sports podcast host and the ex-girlfriend of singer Zach Bryan. They been in a very public breakup, with both parties calling out the other in many different ways on social media.

What is Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test?

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test premiered on Fox in 2022 based on the British reality series SAS: Who Dares Wins. In fact, the same Directing Staff (DS), Rudy Reyes, Jason Fox, Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham, Remi Adeleke, and Jovon Quarles, run both shows.

The DS put all the contestants through vigorous physical, mental, and emotional tests in harsh environments all over the world. The training course the celebrities are put through are replicas of the actual United States Special Forces selection course.

Previous seasons have seen the contestants jump into freezing cold ocean water from a helicopter, get set on fire, bungee jump off a bridge, and more. The only way to get eliminated is if you withdraw yourself or get medically discharged. Towards the end of the competition, the DS can disqualify you for various reasons.

Watch the previous season’s trailers to get a feel for what the Season Four contestants are getting themselves into.
