Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test premiered on Fox on September 25 and included 18 celebrities. Among them was The Valley‘s Brittany Cartwright. However, the Bravo star made an early exit from the series after previously revealing that her ex, Jax Taylor, told her she wouldn’t make it very far in the challenges.
In addition to Brittany, 36, Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test included the likes of Teresa Giudice, 53, Gia Giudice, 24, Eva Marcille, 40, Kody Brown, 56, and Jussie Smollett, 43.
Brittany entered the Special Forces competition with plans to prove that she could handle the intense nature of the challenges as a part of Team Bravo. She said, “I wanted to do Special Forces selection because I had been through so much this year.”
The Vanderpump Rules alum continued, “I finally found the strength to leave a very toxic relationship. I had my ex writing me, being like, ‘You’re not going to make it far,’ right before I even came here. People like that, I want to prove wrong.”
Still, the reality star admitted that she was “anxious as hell” while on the bus heading to the first location. She said to one of her co-stars, “I’m scared they’re going to get mad because I giggle all the time. They’re going to hate me.”
She managed to complete the first challenge, which was jumping out of a helicopter. However, she then began to struggle as the challenges continued. This is especially the case as they were tasked to carry heavy items while walking through the excessive heat in Morocco.
At a point, one of the coaches told her, “You’re getting further and further behind. You are going home before the course even starts.” She then said, “I can’t. I don’t think I can make it.” From there, she could be seen in a confessional, admitting, “I’m not the fittest I’ve ever been in my life right now, that’s for sure.”
It was 500 yards into the challenge when Brittany made up her mind that Special Forces wasn’t for her. She explained, “I feel like I’m going to pass out. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be the first to go but… I’m just, I can’t move.” This was halfway through the first day of the show.
While waiting to be picked up, Brittany said, “I knew I was going to be first. So embarrassing.”
Special Forces airs on Thursdays on Fox.
