Special Forces - World's Toughest Test

Sprite wrote:I watched the first episode. I have to admit that I rather enjoyed it. Very different to a lot of reality tv. I was interesting watching the type of training real special forces have to go through. I wouldn't be surprised that they eased up on some of them, but even so, from what I have seen thus far, it was grueling. Just being out in the desert in that heat must be horrid.

Kate Gosselin was the first one out...shocking nobody. Whining non stop, even admitted that she is very negative after watching herself on her reality show, but still didn't change a thing. She hurt her neck in the first challenge and was eliminated for medical reasons.

Dr. Drew was the 2nd person eliminated due to dehydration. We barely saw him.

Chef Tyler Florence was full of himself and was the only one thus far who actually quit. He said it was his wife's birthday and he promised her to not get hurt. A**.

Fourth out was singer Montell Jordan as he sprained/broke his thumb. Too bad, he seemed nice and did well.

We didn't see much of Hannah, but she was shown being very supportive to some of the other ladies. I don't think she will win, but she might make it to somewhere in the middle.

There was lots of focus on Dwight Howard the basketball player and trying to show him to be a conceited jerk. He was somewhat full of himself, but not the worst.

Also lots of focus on Jamie Lynn Spears. Lots of crying for her kids and wanting to go home. Annoying. Hoping she will be out next.

The other one they focused a lot on was Beverly Mitchell from 7th Heaven. Lots of insecurities and the smallest one there, but I think she might be the one they are setting up to surprise us.

Over all very entertaining. The first episode was two hours and it flew by. I would recommend it!

I haven't decided yet who I think will win. One of the interesting things they did was make them line themselves up in order of who they think is the strongest to the weakest. Originally Dwight Howard put himself first and Beverly put herself last. I think they like knocking down the person who is feeling overly confident and build the one that isn't. By the end of the episode when they ranked themselves the second time, Dwight put himself 3rd and Beverly moved herself to 3rd last. They also pulled both of them for a kind of confessional/psych session.

This part was kind of creepy because they put hoods over their head and brought them in for interrogation. It was like they were prisoners being brought in for torture, but they were trying to find out what made them tick. It helps the audience get to know them better and this is why I am thinking one of the "weak" players will end up winning. It's not just about physical strength, but about mental strength.

Sprite wrote:Hannah had another good episode.  She did well in the challenge, but again received little air time.

They are down to 9 contestants...so almost to the middle and she is looking pretty good so far.

Does anyone think at this point she has a chance?

I haven't watched, just going by what I'm reading here.
