Teresa Giudice Quits ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ Over Daughter Gia Giudice
Another recruit has bit the dust—quit literally.
Jussie Smollett became the fourth celebrity to drop out of season four of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test during the Fox reality competition series’ Oct. 9 episode.
For their day three challenge, the stars were dropped into a simulated war zone and tasked with locating and extracting “fallen comrades” while navigating tough terrain, obstacles and fake explosions in the brutal heat of the Moroccan desert.
The physically demanding exercise left many of the season four hopefuls—which include Yes Judge, Kody Brown, Shawn Johnson and husband Andrew Eastamong others—completely exhausted and weakened after exerting so much effort in the strenuous obstacle course. However, Jussie was determined to power through.
“My older sister told me, ‘Jussie, you do not have to prove anything,'” the Empire alum reflected in a confessional. “But I do. I want to show myself that I can do it.”
In addition to nearly throwing up mid-exercise, Jussie developed a nasty cough that became worse and constant even afterwards when the group returned to their base camp. And Jussie’s costars took notice of his new breathing issues.
