Three Former Beloved DWTS Contestants Join ‘Special Forces’ Season 4

The new cast of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” has been announced, and three former “Dancing With the Stars” contestants, including one winner, will be competing on the intense Fox reality series.

From the Dance Floor to the Danger Zone

Fox announced the season 4 cast for “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” and there will be 18 famous faces competing on this upcoming season, Deadline confirmed.

We can confirm that three of those famous faces also happened to compete in the ballroom on “DWTS,” including one celebrity who won it all and took home the mirrorball trophy.

The three former “Dancing With the Stars” contestants competing on “Special Forces” season 4 are “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Teresa Giudice, country music singer Jessie James Decker, and Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson.

Now, the three stars will be put to the test. They will try to endure some of the harshest and grueling challenges ever. All to prove their physical and mental toughness.

Other Season 4 Cast Members

Who else will be competing on season 4 of “Special Forces?” The other recruits taking on these intense trainings for this new season are:

• Gia Giudice, Teresa’s daughter
• Jussie Smollett, former star of “Empire”
• Eva Marcille, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum
• Kody Brown from “Sister Wives”
• Brittany Cartwright from “The Valley”
• Eric Decker, former NFL player
• Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, podcaster
• Mark Estes, internet personality
• Andrew East, former NFL player and Shawn Johnson’s husband

How Does ‘Special Forces’ Work?

The show is all about taking these 18 recruits and teaching them to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. They will be taking on training challenges across the country’s vast desert terrain.

These challenges will include a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between two buildings that are 50 feet above the ground, a dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged underwater, and they must escape, and much more.

While many of these reality competition shows have an overall winner and a prize to compete for, that isn’t the case for “Special Forces.” The recruits will face no votes or eliminations. Instead, they are just trying to survive and have the glory of proving they have what it takes to endure this intense, military-style training.

“Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” premieres Thursday, September 25, at 9/8c on Fox.
