Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test – Episode Recap

In the latest episode of FOX’s hit show, the number of recruits continues to dwindle. Tonight, we see two more contestants medically discharged from the demanding course.

Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like this season has seen quite a few stars sent home due to health issues. Jussie Smollett had to leave in Episode 3 because of a lung infection, and Eric Decker was taken out last week with a hip problem. Now, with just seven episodes in, two more have been removed from the competition. For context, there were five medical withdrawals throughout season three, while only one occurred in season two.

So, who left this time, and who is still standing? Let’s dive in.

Who Quit in Episode 7?

Christy Pierce Rampone, despite not being mentally ready to go, had to medically withdraw at the beginning of the episode. The Olympic gold medalist experienced a chest infection, reminiscent of Smollett’s earlier ordeal.

Then there was Mark Estes, who had to be pulled from the competition by medical staff due to a severely blistered and swollen ear following the murderball challenge. His injury was concerning enough that doctors insisted he see a specialist to avoid possible long-term damage.

Who Is Still Competing?

The remaining contestants include Gia Giudice, Shawn Johnson East, Andrew East, Kody Brown, Brianna LaPaglia, and Randall Cobb.
