FOX Who Went Home on 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' Season 2 In season 3, the celebrity recruits will train in Wales, the home of British Special Forces Selection, and will "endure the harsh reality of ocean warfare," according to a press release from the network. Some of the challenges they'll face include "a high pressure hostage rescue, a treacherous ladder crossing between steep cliffs nearly 100 ft above the sea, a boat dunk drill where they will be submerged into the frigid ocean," and "a surf immersion where they will have to control their panic in an exercise that takes them to the brink of drowning." The network promises "there are no votes, and no eliminations – just survival" and the famous recruits, "who are so used to being in the spotlight, will quickly learn the meaning of 'no guts, no glory' – and no glam."

"I've been in situations where I freeze," Richards admits, while Sutter adds, "The devil on my shoulder is going, 'You can't do this.'" "I'm just trying to believe in the angel that's telling me, 'You can do it,'" the ABC star continues. From left: Ali Manno (Fedotowsky) and Nathan Adrian. FOX Hart, who is the husband of singer Pink, adds, "I hope that this course will allow me to be the old Cary." Newton knows the challenging circumstances will lead to growth, as he tells cameras, "There's a famous quote that says, 'In order to get something that you've never had, you've got to do something that you've never done.'" Adrian echoes that sentiment, noting that it's "going to feel uncomfortable," but the cast is reminded in a voiceover that it's ultimately "about taking that leap of faith."
