Kenya Moore, Dwight Howard, Mel B, & Montell Jordan To Star In Fox’s Celebrity Competition Show ‘Special Forces: The Ultimate Test’
Fox will put a group of celebrities through intense military-style training in its newest television series.
According to reports, the network announced the new competition show will act as the ultimate celebrity social experiment, premiering in January 2023. “Special Forces: The Ultimate Test” will follow 16 celebrities as they take on a series of challenges pulled from the actual Special Forces selection process under the eye of an elite team of four ex-special forces operatives.
Reality TV veteran Kenya Moore, NBA player Dwight Howard, producer/singer Montell Jordan, and singer Mel B will reportedly be a part of the cast.
The full list of 16 participants is reportedly a mix of athletes (Danny Amendola, Dwight Howard, Gus Kenworthy, Nastia Liukin, Carli Lloyd, Mike Piazza), reality TV veterans (Hannah Brown, Kate Gosselin, Kenya Moore, Dr. Drew Pinsky) and actors, singers and TV personalities (Mel B., Tyler Florence, Montell Jordan, Beverley Mitchell, Anthony Scaramucci, and Jamie Lynn Spears).
As the celebs are put through some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the actual Special Forces selection process, there are reportedly no votes or eliminations. With no eliminations, recruits only leave when they’ve given up on their own accord, through failure or potential injury, or by force from the Directing Staff agents.
Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, said in a statement,
“Special Forces: The Ultimate Test puts celebrities you know and love through the most pure and authentic test of endurance that I have ever seen. In many ways, it is more about mental strength than physical strength. It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the most intense training in the world and gives a taste of the grit and bravery our armed forces show on a daily basis, which was a life-changing experience for these celebrities.”
