[narrator] Sixteen celebrities \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hhave enlisted \h\hin real military training.
\h\h\h\h\hTen days to prove \h\h\h\h\h\hthey can endure physically and emotionally.
\h\h\h\h\hNo prizes, no special treatment.
This is Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
\h[Rudy] Deep inside, everyone wants to know,
do they have the courage \h\h\h\h\h\hto be a hero?
\h\h\h-[screaming] -Down! Heads down!
\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The course has been running for 24 hours.
For the next 10 days, we freakin’ own you.
You belong to us.
[Billy] Get moving!
[narrator] Two recruits \hhave been withdrawn.
[screaming]
[narrator] Now 14 remain.
\h\h\hOh, my knee! My knee’s dislocated! It’s dislocated!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] But who will survive the day?
You better do it. Figure a way out.
I don’t think I’m breakable, \h\h\hto be honest with you.
-[Remi] You wanna quit? \h\h\h\h-No, staff.
I wanna be broken. I wanna be tested.
I want that fear to hit my body and make my knees bend.
[Dwight makes popping sounds]
Are you getting ready \h\h\hfor action?
-[farts] -[laughs]
-That answers my question. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.
[chuckles]
[narrator] It’s the recruits’ \h\h\hfirst morning in camp.
Can you get through the day?
[narrator] And Number 2, actress Jamie Lynn Spears,
has had a sleepless night.
I’m right there with you.
[Nastia] You’re not, though.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Mike] Your kids are gonna be fine.
-This is good for them. \h-I’m telling ya.
This is so good for them. Right?
The thought of being away \h\h\h\h\h\h\hfrom my kids,
I think it probably goes back \h\h\h\hto a lot of things.
I was 16 and pregnant and I was on the cover of a magazine
being called a slut and a whore.
It’s my own battle within \h\h\hto be a good mom,
\hand I do think that stems from being told I wouldn’t be.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLet me tell you what’s gonna happen, right?
\hYou miss your kids, you’re gonna hurry home,
and after two days, it’s just \hgonna be back to normal,
and you’re gonna be like, "Maybe I should have stuck it out."
\h\h\hAnd then I also think this is something that is \h\h\hfor me, for myself.
I never do things like that.
When you said "Stand up,"
\hhe stood up, but his body just gave in, just creeped in.
[narrator] This morning \hthe DS are discussing
the recruits’ performance on last night’s beasting.
I think Number 1, you know,
\hshe doesn’t seem like she has a lot of punch.
[Foxy] She was probably \hthe most pathetic
getting herself out of there, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hjust like...
\hAnd she genuinely looked like she thought she was gonna die.
\h\h\h\h\hShe should have gone on a baking show or something.
She’s gonna bake on this.
-[Rudy] All right, Number 7. \h\h\h-Gray individual.
-I didn’t even notice him. \h\h\h\h-Exactly, exactly.
[Billy] He’s very humble. \h\h\hHe’s very respectful.
[Foxy] What about Number 12? Has anyone picked up on him?
[Rudy] Looks like just a suit guy to me.
\h\h\hHe looks petrified, just his facial expressions.
13, huge guy, big attitude.
[Remi] Physically, I think he’ll be at the top of the pack.
I don’t know how he’ll be \h\h\hmentally just yet.
But we’ll see how it plays out.
\h\h\h[narrator] The DS have taken stock of the recruits.
All right, ruck up, recruits! \hGet on the parade square!
Let’s go!
[Mel B] Let’s go.
[narrator] Now a chance \h\hfor the celebrities
to evaluate themselves.
All right, recruits, listen up!
\h\h\h\h\hI know you all been in some pain. It’s good for you.
These men on the platform,
\hwe’ve all been pushed way beyond our limits.
That’s what we want to elicit from you all
through this hard training.
All right. Billy?
[Billy] You need to know \h\h\h\h\h\hwho you are.
You need to be brutally honest \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith yourself.
What we don’t like is people who think
they’re something they’re not, \h’cause it’ll get you killed.
\h\hI want whoever thinks they’re the strongest...
down to the weakest.
Do that now.
\h\hIf you think you should be somewhere else, chat about it.
[Mel B] I need to go down a bit.
\h\h\h’cause it tells us a little bit about them.
Carli, aren’t you the fastest?
[Foxy] It shows us ego, it shows us a lack of confidence,
\h\h\hand it shows us people that don’t really understand
their true potential.
\h\h\h\h\hDo you think you’re better than me?
OK.
Where you think you are
\h\his always different to where you actually are.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAsk yourself, ask the person next to you,
\h\hdo you think you’re better than me, am I better than you?
[narrator] Rankings agreed, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNumber 13,
NBA All-Star Dwight Howard,
\h\hassuming the position as the strongest recruit.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn the NBA I wanted to be the best.
Right now, to this day,
I know I’m one of the greatest \h\h\h\h\hplayers to ever play.
That’s not me being cocky,
\hwho have been able to compete with what I’ve been able to do.
[narrator] At the end the line, self-elected weakest recruit,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNumber 1, actress Beverley Mitchell.
[Beverley] Growing up as a child actor has a lot of challenges.
\h\h\h\hHollywood is absolutely cutthroat.
It gets very frustrating \h\h\h\h\hwhen you watch
all of your peers continue to rise,
\h\h\h\hand continue to get opportunities,
and you feel left behind.
\h\hWhat you do from here on is work on those weaknesses.
I wanna move up two places.
\hSo get these up and keep ’em up.
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Got it? -[recruits] Yes, staff.
Back to your accommodations.
Sharp. Let’s go.
You got this, mama.
You’re the smallest one here, OK? And you’re killing it.
Everybody’s got their strength.
\hThe reason I wanted to do this and take part in this experience
is because I don’t know \hwhat I’m capable of.
\h\h\h\h\hAnd the reason why is because I have never put myself
in a position to try.
Number 1 was at the end. Yeah, she’s just given up on herself.
\h\h\h\h\hShe was emotional. \h\h\h\h\h\h\hShe was crying when she was standing there.
\h\h\h\hWe’ll find who’s the strongest to weakest at some point, won’t we?
Yeah, we will.
[Beverley] I have no idea \h\h\hwhat’s coming for me.
[Kenya] Who was at the front \h\h\h\h\hof the line today?
Who thought they were the best?
-That was Dwight, right? \h\h\h\h\h-Yeah, Dwight.
\hI jumped in third ’cause I just think I’m really [bleep] strong.
[Tyler] Cream rises to the top. There’s no doubt about it.
If you can’t take the heat, you gotta get out of the kitchen.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The recruits are taken deep into the Wadi Rum Desert...
[Mel B] That’s it.
...where they will learn \h\hhow to maneuver
like special forces operators.
[Remi] Nobody should be walking. Hurry up!
\h\hIn special operations, we have to be able to work
in the most extreme terrains, \h\h\h\hdeserts, mountains.
-Close the gaps! \h-Come on, guys!
\h\h\h\h\hI don’t care if you have to fake it,
\h\h\hbut you better swing those arms and those legs.
We have to be ready \h\h\h\hfor anything.
[Rudy] Keep pushing!
\h\h\h\h\h\hAll right, everyone drop your rucks.
We as DS, we not only want you \h\h\h\h\h\hto face your fear.
We want you to conquer your fear
so you leave here a different person.
Turn around and pay attention.
[narrator] The task is to cross a 300-foot-wide canyon.
[Tyler] Oh, my God.
[Foxy] The ravine crossing \h\h\h\his a way of getting
from one side of a valley \h\hto the other quickly
without having to drop \hinto the low ground.
[Remi] Watch his technique. \h\h\h\hSlow but smooth.
\h\h\h\hYou have to sidestep across two pieces of rope
suspended in the air \h\h\hover 100 feet.
[Remi] He’s calm, he’s cool, collected.
[Carli] I may pee my pants \h\h\h\h\h\h\hwhen I do it.
\h[Foxy] You might think you’re strong, but that’s not enough.
The lactic acid buildup \hjust creates pain
in all the muscle groups \h\hthat you’re working.
\hAnd you’re trying cling onto the rope
\h\h\h\hthat’s getting further away from you.
\h\h\hIt’s all about the mental strength.
[Remi] All right, eyes on me.
All of you have what it takes \h\h\hphysically to do this,
otherwise we wouldn’t \h\h\hmake you do it.
The question is do you have \h\h\hwhat it takes mentally?
\hAre you strong up here? Or are you weak up here?
Either way, we will find out.
\h-You understand? -[recruits] Yes, staff.
All right.
[mutters]
-Did you take a look? -It’s crazy, right?
[Dwight] And I do not like \h\hheights and tightropes.
-And we about to try it. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[bleep]
All right, Number 13, \h\h\h\hgo to chief.
\h\h[narrator] First, the DS send Dwight Howard,
\hthe man who ranks himself strongest of all the recruits.
For me, it’s like, man, all the things
that I didn’t get \h\ha chance to try
as I was a younger person \h\h\h\h\h\hin the NBA,
or even as a kid, \hI wanna try ’em now.
Just to really test the limits \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hof who I am.
[Billy] Get on your feet. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGet up!
Oh, [bleep] me.
Oh, my God. I don’t think \h\h\hI ever been that high.
\h[Billy] The key is to keep your legs straight and shuffle.
Just keep moving. Momentum’s important.
If you fall, you’ll stop \hwhen you hit the bottom
and we’ll come and collect you.
That’s not funny, man.
What I want you to do,
Come on. Right, down. Up you go.
Let’s go.
OK.
Stand up.
Let’s go!
Foot on the rope. Let’s go. \h\h\h\hRight now. Come on.
Time is of the essence. \h\h\h\hHere we go.
Right, shuffle your left foot. Ah, ah, ah. Shuffle. Let’s go.
God, he’s really shaking. Look.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
\h\h\h\hWe haven’t got all day. You’re holding everybody back.
\h\h\h\hYou’ve just seen a perfect demonstration.
-You’re not going anywhere. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-I can’t do it.
This is it! Let’s go!
Everything you’ve got, now!
[Billy] Let’s go! Foot on the rope.
Right now. Come on.
\h[narrator] 200 feet up, Number 13, Dwight Howard,
\h\h\h\h\his struggling to take his first step.
Come on.
Look at me. Calm down.
Relax. Take a breath.
Let’s go!
[grunts]
Here we go. It’ll be awkward \hto start with. Keep going.
Left arm, left foot. Keep going.
Let’s go!
Slide those arms along as well \h\h\h\hso you don’t burn out.
\h-[Dwight] It’s stuck. -[Billy] Stop moaning!
[Remi] Keep moving!
[Billy] Forget the lactic acid \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin your arms.
Fight your way through it.
Let’s go! Big effort now!
Slide your arms, slide your feet.
\hCome on. I’m not talking for the sake of it. Do it.
Don’t stop. Keep the momentum.
-My arm feels like it’s... \h\h-It’s easy to quit.
Do not give up!
Let’s find that grit. Come on.
[grunts]
-Come on! No, no, no, no! \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Stand up! No!
Look out!
[yells]
Fail! Catastrophic fail.
A dope on a rope
when you could have been \h\ha king with a swing.
\h\h\h-[whimpers] -[Foxy] Pathetic.
Failing is not really something that I’m used to.
It tends to put me \h\hin my own head
\h\h\hand make me overthink situations.
\h\h\h\h\h\h-How was it? -Wait till you up there.
-Just don’t look down. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[bleep]
That was tough, though.
[Billy] Let’s go!
\h[narrator] The 300-foot-wide ravine has defeated number 13,
NBA All-Star Dwight Howard.
[Billy] Do not give up!
Now the next recruits \h\h\hface the wire.
\h\h\h\h\h\h[Billy] We do these obstacle crossings
because it’s been done,
\h\h\h\htried and tested in real war and conflict.
\h-Let’s go! -I cannot...
Do not talk yourself out of it.
No, do not quit.
\h-[yells] -You buffoon!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[grunts] -[Rudy] Stay in the fight, 4!
Fail.
\h\h\h\h-[yells] -[Billy] Muppet.
[grunts] Please.
\h-[grunts] -[Billy] Fail.
\hYou are literally putting your whole life
between two pieces of rope.
[grunts]
[Remi] Number 12!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] \hHaving watched his fellow recruits fail the crossing,
up next, chef Tyler Florence.
You look like you wanna quit. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat’s wrong?
I’m having real reservations \h\h\habout doing this.
You guys can do this \hphysically, right?
\hBut what it’s gonna take is tapping into that gear.
\h\h\h\h\h\hHere’s the deal. Today is my wife’s birthday.
\h\h\hI made a promise to her that I wouldn’t hurt myself.
You realize you’re gonna be the first one to quit if you leave?
Ah, there we go. Bye-bye.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Mel B] He jumped out of a helicopter \h\h\hbut he didn’t do that?
[narrator] Tyler Florence \h\h\h\his the first recruit
to voluntarily withdraw.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Billy] Bring on the next victim.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] Next to cross the ravine,
actress Beverley Mitchell.
[Billy] Number 1. Number 1.
[Beverley] Oh, God, OK.
Being on this course \h\h\hwith Olympians,
\hpeople at the top of their athletic game,
is incredibly uncomfortable.
Oh, God.
Participating in something
where I have absolutely no clue what’s coming for me
is a huge leap of faith.
\h\h\h[Billy] Stop shaking. Take a breath. You scared of heights?
I don’t know. We’ll see.
Start to build the momentum. \h\h\h\h\hGet the technique.
Work through the wobble.
\h\h\hSlide together. Say it in your head.
[both] Slide together, \h\h\h\hslide together.
[Billy] This is where the work kicks in.
[Beverley] Slide together.
-Slide together. \h-Keep it going.
Come on, keep moving, Number 1!
[narrator] Another few steps \h\h\hand Beverley Mitchell,
who ranked herself the weakest,
\hcould make it further than any other recruit.
[Billy] Do not let me down, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNumber 1.
Find that energy! \h\hFind that grit!
She is fighting it.
-[Billy] Come on! \h\h\h\h\h-[grunts]
[grunts]
[Billy] Grit now! Grit!
[narrator] Nearly 200 feet \h\h\h\h\h\hup in the air,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNumber 1, actress Beverley Mitchell.
[grunts]
At the midway point, she’s gone further than any other recruit.
-[Billy] Come on. \h-She is fighting it.
[Billy[ Do not let me down, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNumber 1.
\h\h\h\h\h-[grunts] -Come on, Number 1.
[Billy] Last effort now.
Stay in it.
[grunts]
[screams] Oh! Ah!
\h\h\h\hYou almost did it, but almost ain’t good enough.
-I wanted it so bad. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Hey.
I was so close.
You did it. That was so awesome.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou should be really proud of yourself.
[yawns]
\h\h\h\hWhat are you doing, taking a nap? On your feet!
13, push-up position.
[Dwight grunts] One, two...
\h[Remi] Just because it may be over for you, watch and learn.
\h\h\h\h\h[Dwight] Five, six, seven...
\hYour place of relaxation has now become your place of pain.
[Dwight] Over the years, handling criticism for me
has been difficult.
\h\hI’m one of the most probably polarized players
in the NBA there’s ever been.
You’re going to get criticized \h\hon everything that you do.
\h[Remi] You better utilize that mental toughness, son.
[grunts]
\h\h\h\h-I apologize, staff. -Military bearing, right?
Everything that you do \h\h\hhas to have
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsome type of military bearing involved, OK?
Don’t give up now.
[narrator] So far, no recruit \hhas completed the crossing.
Battling the ravine, Number 15,
Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin.
\h\h\h\h[Billy] Do not let yourself down now.
[Nastia] Oh, my God, my arms are on fire.
-Stand up, stand up! \h\h-Lock your legs!
No, no, no.
[Billy] Five meters, no more!
[Nastia] Yes, yes, yes.
\h\h\h\h\h-I got it. -[Foxy] There we go.
[Billy] She did it. Well done.
That was an absolute emotional \h\h\hroller coaster of chaos.
\hYou made that look so much harder than it needed to be.
[Billy] Good technique, \h\h\h\hNumber 10.
\h[narrator] Following on from Nastia’s success...
That’s it, 16!
Slide... together... slide...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] NFL player Danny Amendola
and Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy...
[Foxy] All the way in.
[Billy] Well done.
OK, listen in.
\hWhat is happening right now, you’re only meeting us halfway.
Look at the size of him. Look at the size of her.
You can look at me with hate. \h\h\h\h\h\h\hI love it.
\hDon’t shake your head. I’ll pull it off and hit you with it.
Do you understand me? Stand still. Shut up.
It’s about what’s in there. It’s about grit and determination.
\h\h\hYes, it’s hard, and it will be hard.
\hSo break that barrier, every single one of you.
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Got it? -[recruits] Yes, staff.
[Billy] Get your Bergens on.
-Stop shaking your head. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-I wasn’t.
I’m telling you for a reason. \h\h\hYou was. I’m not blind.
-It’s hot. I can’t see. \h\h\h\h-We’re all hot.
So I’m trying to look at you \hin your eye when you talk.
-[Billy] Stop moaning. \h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
[Rudy] Fall into your vehicles. Let’s go!
-He said I had a attitude. \h\h-Wait, blue eyes?
\h\h\h\h\hYeah. And I’m like, bruh, I don’t have no attitude.
People confuse me being laid-back,
people confuse me being nonchalant
and all those different things \h\h\h\has me not caring,
\hor me not taking what I do serious.
[Jamie] Some of the bathrooms \h\h\hare pretty disgusting.
\h\h\h-[Carli] I know. -[Jamie] I’m gonna vomit.
[laughs]
-Is yours bad? \h-[laughs]
Just don’t look down.
[Remi] How did Dwight Howard \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hgo from being
the NBA’s big man \h\h\h\hof the future
to most universally disliked player?
[narrator] The DS have concerns over number 13’s attitude.
Dwight Howard’s fall from grace.
Where you at, 13? Let’s go!
So NBA All-Star Dwight Howard is taken in for questioning.
[door bangs]
[door closes]
So how you think you’re doing \h\h\h\hon the course so far?
-Good, actually. \h\h\h\h\h-Good?
Cool.
Your face didn’t tell me that.
\h[Remi] So we’re bringing you in here for an obvious reason.
-Can you suspect what that is? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-I don’t know.
This morning I wasn’t impressed. You seem to have an attitude.
You’re a little bit strutty.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Dwight] I didn’t have a attitude.
\h\h\h\hI’m telling you, I can read you like a book.
I’ve done this all my life. \h\h\h\hThis is what I do.
\h\h\h\hWell, can you just give me further
so I can really understand?
\h\h\h\hI tell you, I feel when the going gets tough,
you put up these quirky, smiley, disrespectful attitudes.
When you get in a situation \hthat’s somewhat foreign,
or where there’s a lot of competition,
it’s hard for you \hto get to that 100%.
Uh, well, in my field,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don’t think that I’ve ever had that issue.
I mean, I’ve been playing \h\h\h\h\h\h\hfor 18 years.
I’ve been committed \h\h\h\hfrom day one.
If I say I’m in it, I’m in it.
-I do everything the same way. \h-Do your team players all go,
\h"That man has just given 100% right there"? They do?
Do your fans say, "He gives us 100%"?
They do? All right.
Just before you came in, right, I was looking at all this.
I don’t know a lot about you,
\h\h\hI’m looking at all this about you.
A lot of people don’t like you.
I be who I am, but the world that I live in, in the NBA,
\hI’ve been shunned upon for having too much fun,
for smiling too much, but that’s just me.
When I had the most fun,
\h\hthat’s when I was able to crush everything I did.
\h\h\h\h\hWe feel like you can go farther.
\h\h\h\h\hWe feel like you have more to give.
\h\h\h\hWe want top performance in everything across the board.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIn our world, it’s all about motivation.
He knows I will drag my arse \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h110% for him.
He’ll do the same for me. I ain’t sure you’ll do that.
\hThere’s a question we’re gonna ask at the end of this, we will,
is would be have Number 13 \hstood to the side of us?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Got you. -And one last thing I’ll add.
Put some pep in your step. Act like you wanna be here.
Show that commitment. Give 100%.
So it’s over to you.
I got you.
[Billy] Guard!
[door opens]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Dwight] \h\hThere’s been times where it’s like I wanna say something
to every critic and person who’s said something to me.
But then what I’ve figured out \his you have to really listen,
\hyou have to evolve and you have to change.
That’s what life is like.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI’m all in. If I didn’t take this serious, \h\h\h\hI wouldn’t be here.
\h\h\hYou just feel like it’s a bit soul crushing.
\h\h\h-Yeah. -I’m trying.
I guess that’s where I struggle, ’cause I already have, like,
issues of not feeling, \h\h\h\h\hlike, enough.
\h\h\hEverybody’s on their own journey.
100%.
\h\h\h\h\hAnd I think we’re on similar journeys.
I just need to have one moment, like one win.
\h\h\h[Rudy] All right, ruck up, recruits! Let’s go!
[Danny] Gonna start moving out.
[Rudy] Get there, get there. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLet’s go.
The purpose of the tasks is to challenge recruits
at such a level, \hthey may break.
\h\h[Foxy] Come on, let’s catch it up!
You can turn a breaking point \h\h\hinto a breakthrough...
[yelps]
...with the right attitude.
[Foxy] Move your spindly \h\h\h\h\hlittle carcass.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-OK. -[Foxy] Let’s go! Come on!
\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The final task of this phase
will test the recruits’ control of aggression.
[Billy] Take your Bergens off \hand drop ’em behind you.
Pin your ears back.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOK, the roles of a special forces operator
are wide and varied.
Probably the worst-case scenario we find ourself in is conflict.
\hAnd the way we get through conflict is through aggression.
So what we’re gonna do is meet fire with fire.
[recruits] Yes, staff.
[Jamie] What do y’all think \h\h\h\hwe’re all doing?
I don’t want to hit someone, and I don’t want to be hit.
I don’t wanna be tossed around. I can’t fight someone.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The recruits are about to face \h\h\htheir first combat task.
They must fight the red man, chief instructor Rudy Reyes.
On command, they must turn on aggression...
[Remi] Take some deep breaths.
...and then turn it off again.
\h\hFirst to brave the red man is Number 9, Spice Girl Mel B.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou need to apply aggression violently
until I, who is in control, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsay stop.
When you hear stop, get rid \hof that feeling of anger,
stand up and chill out, \h\h\h\hall right?
I just want you to get in there, get the job done,
and show me how scary \h\h\hyou really are.
\h\h\h[Mel B] I was in this abusive relationship
that I couldn’t get out of.
You just feel helpless.
\h\h\hOn a daily basis you’re being yelled at
and called horrible names.
Come here. Here, here, here.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI would hope, and I say the word "hope,"
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthat being put in these situations’ll repair
some of the damage that has been done.
Go on, get in there, \h\h\h\hget in there.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome on, show me some aggression.
Looking good. Now, control. \h\h\h\hLet’s get in there!
\hGo for it. Come on. Keep going, keep going!
Stop! Right, stand up.
Come here. How was that?
-How was it? -I feel sick.
\h-You feel sick? -But it is good.
It is good. It is good.
This is the whole purpose \h\h\h\h\h\h\hof this task,
is for you to expend energy and aggression
on someone that is willing \h\hto take it, all right?
It’s an ongoing healing road that I will always be on,
always.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome on, just calm down and focus.
I’m calm.
-[Mike] You’re gonna be fine. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Oh, my God.
You gotta put yourself \h\h\h\h\hin that spot.
If it’s for your life, \hyou’ll fight, right?
I’m telling you, you can do it.
\h\h\h\hDon’t let this thing be the thing that sends you home.
[Billy] Number 13!
[narrator] Next into the ring, \h\h\hNumber 13, Dwight Howard.
\h\h\h\hNow, I’m aware you’re a big bloke, OK?
Up to this point, his attitude \hhas put him on the DS radar.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo concentrate on controlling that aggression
when you do engage it, \hnot going overboard.
Listen to what I say. Control your aggression, all right?
\h\h\h-Good? -Yes, staff.
Let’s go. Go, go, go!
[red man yells]
\h\h\h\h\hDestabilize, control. Destabilize, control, control.
Stop!
All right, up.
-Calm down. You good? \h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
OK, good effort. You did what you needed to do, all right?
Now it’s about turning it off, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcalming down,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand getting on with the rest of the tasks, OK?
[Billy] Number 15, come on down.
\h\h\h-[Foxy] Come on. -[Billy] Get up there.
You’re like a rock lizard.
I just wanna see some aggression.
I understand, and I respect \hthat, and I respect you.
-But I don’t wanna hit anyone. \h\h-I don’t want any respect.
\h\h\h\hI wanna see some grit and determination, all right?
Stay on my left shoulder. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLet’s go.
\h\h\hGo on, full in! Show me some aggression, Number 15.
15, start throwing punches.
15, show me some aggression.
-15, get up! \h-[sobbing]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Hey. -That was too much for me.
Weak as anything. It looked pathetic.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff. -Right, go over to the DS.
As quickly as you can.
Go to the right of Number 13.
I need you to apply controlled \haggression until I say stop.
-Do you understand? \h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
With me, with me. With me. Keep coming, keep coming.
-Engage him. Come on! Let’s go! -[red man yells]
Destabilize, control, \h\h\h\hdestabilize.
Go on. There we go. Go on. \h\h\hPut him on the floor.
\h\h-Get in there. -What do you mean?
-Like hitting? -Yeah, hit him.
I’ve never been in a fistfight. I can’t see myself doing this.
But that’s why I’m here, \hto push past that
and see where I can go.
[Foxy] Number 7, get up.
I’m a man of peace,
by doing what you have to do.
[yelling]
I just believe in being able \h\h\hto defend yourself.
I mean, I’m from Detroit. You gotta know how to fight.
No, not there!
Leave the head.
Right, stop!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
\h\h\h\hCalm down. Remove the wide-eyed stare of death.
When I said stop, you needed to stop.
You still laid in a couple of blows.
Strong effort.
It was a terrible effort.
Hey, look at me.
-[grunts] -All good?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, sir. -That’s it, done now. It’s done.
\h[narrator] Number 7, singer Montell Jordan,
is feeling the impact \h\hof the fistfight.
[Montell] That was crazy.
There’s adrenaline right now \h\h\h\h\h\h\hstill flowing,
\h\h\h\h\hso I don’t know how bad it is right now.
May have sprained, or...
\h\h\h\h\hstill move it, but... but he got me, pulled me down.
\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] And now there’s one more recruit left
to enter the fray.
[Billy] Number 1, come on.
\hActress Beverley Mitchell must drum up the confidence
to take on the red man.
You just gotta dig deep, \h\h\h\hfind some oomph,
and get in there and do something.
I realize that I’ve lost
a little bit of myself,
and not even that I lost it, it’s that I don’t even know
that I’ve ever really \h\h\htapped into it.
Come on, on me, on me, on me. \h\h\h\hRight, let’s go!
\h\h\h\hI’ve never really taken a moment to be, like,
who the hell is Bev?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[yells] -Number, 1, take him down.
Come on, Number 1, let’s go! \h\h\hTake him to the floor.
I wanna see some aggression.
\h\h\h\h\hLet’s go. There we go. Come on, keep going, keep going.
All right, stop!
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
[Beverley] It wasn’t enough.
\h\h\h\hIt’s difficult, ’cause he’s obviously bigger than you,
\h\h\h\hbut we’ll tell you if you’re not good enough.
-It hurts. It’s clicking. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Is it?
OK, just relax both legs.
I’m just gonna do \ha little quick test.
[narrator] All 13 recruits \hhave completed the task.
The intensity of the fight \h\h\h\hhas left its mark.
Yeah, yeah, that’s very sore.
I can’t close my fist.
I gotta be able to grab stuff.
It’s like 108 in here, \h\h\h\h\h110 in here.
Hoo!
[narrator] Of the 13 recruits \h\hthat completed the task,
one has not made it back.
\h\h\h[Rudy] Number 7, he’s medically withdrawn.
We’re just warming up.
\hMontell Jordan has been withdrawn from the course
with a suspected broken thumb.
[Billy] Sad to see him go.
[Rudy] Number 9.
\h\h\h\h[Remi] I was impressed with how she kept it together,
given her history.
Big kudos to her for that.
\h\h\h\hAll right, Number 13. Red man, he did pretty good.
\h\h\h\hHe fought hard but controlled himself.
\hHe took the message that me and Billy passed onto him.
You know, he took it well.
[Rudy] Number 1?
\h\h\h[Foxy] When it came to the strongest to weakest,
she put herself as the weakest.
\h\h\hShe wasn’t willing to put herself out there.
\h\h\h\hI think she lacks self-esteem and confidence.
\h\h\hI’m a bit unsure. Let’s dig into her a bit.
Number 1!
Hands on the wall.
[door opens]
[sighs]
[door closes]
-[Billy] How you feeling? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Um...
Struggling. Sorry.
Don’t cry. You ain’t gonna get no sympathy from me anyway.
I... I know.
\hThis morning, I asked for the strongest to the weakest.
-Where were you? \h\h-The weakest.
\h\h\h\hDid you put yourself at the back this morning?
\h\hI did, because I felt that’s where the team felt I should be.
Where do you think \h\hyou should be?
[sniffs]
Where do you honestly think \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyou should be?
Not quite at the end.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat was your opportunity to...
stick up for yourself \h\h\h\ha little bit.
Where does that self-doubt \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hcome from?
\h\h\h\h\h\hAll my life I’ve never been good enough.
I’ve just always felt that,
from grade school to my career.
I’ve kind of built a shell,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\halways saying that I’m OK with where I am
or how far I’ve gotten.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Why? -I don’t know why.
Because I feel like
I don’t want to try
because I don’t wanna fail.
I’m almost afraid to succeed.
\hDon’t be afraid of failure. We’ve failed. We’ve tripped up.
We’ve had to pick ourselves \h\h\h\hback up and go again.
That’s where you get \h\h\hyour strength,
\h\hand the only way you’re ever gonna succeed is to fail anyway.
True.
[Foxy] When it gets uncomfortable or hard,
\h\h\htry not to feel sorry for yourself.
\h\h\h\h-Guard! -Thank you.
[door opens]
Nervous wreck.
The ultimate goal with this is to stop saying that I can’t
and start saying that I will.
\hYou better get your ass off the couch and just at least try.
Recruits! On the parade square! Let’s go!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThis morning I asked you to place yourselves
in the strongest to the weakest.
What I want you to do right now is exactly that.
Think about how today’s gone
\hand place yourself now where you think you sit.
[narrator] 48 hours ago, 16 recruits began selection.
Now only 12 remain.
\h\hThose still standing are reconsidering their position.
Number 13, Dwight Howard,
no longer considers himself \h\hthe strongest recruit.
[Billy] Look around.
Number 1, Beverley Mitchell,
\h\h\h\hmoves herself further up the ranks.
I’m gonna leave you with what you see.
Tomorrow’s a new day with new challenges.
So, tonight, get some good sleep and let’s get the job done.
[Billy] When I say go, make like a wizard and disappear.
Go!
\h\h\h[Dwight] No way. That is pure dog food.
I might throw up.
\h\hI feel like this is a challenge all in itself, \hand I just can’t do it.
This might make me tap.
[laughs]
\h\h\h\h-Staff. -I can’t...
-I can’t eat this food no more. -I can’t eat the food.
Staff, here’s my number.
When you’re on the battlefield, you have to be so aware
of your strengths \h\hand weaknesses.
Some people are too scared to look at their own weaknesses,
and they hide it with ego.
\h\hOther people’s weakness is actually their strength,
because they’ve always \h\h\h\h\hbeen put down
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand told they’re not good enough.
Only the people that can bounce back will pass this course.
[narrator] Next time...
You must keep your focus \hin the middle of chaos.
[Foxy] If they don’t react \hproperly, they could die.
Take a breath through your nose or through your mouth?
Take it through your arse. \h\h\h\h\h\h\hI don’t care.
[Rudy] Swim! Let’s go!
Individuals fail. Teams survive.
\h\h\h\hMuppet! What the [bleep] was he jumping off the side for?
Get it on your back now!
\h\hThis is a lesson. Start motivating yourself.
