Hannah, Carli, and Dwight failed the task. Gus, however, forgot his gear behind at camp and had to be penalized for the same. The DS agent assigned him to do 20 burpees after getting wet and rolling down in the sand.Gus had to stay in the same outfit for half-an-hour. The Special Forces contestant soon felt unwell and began vomiting. The DS agents rushed him to the medic, who gave him an IV and checked what was wrong. While on the bed, Gus proceeded to vomit more and was unable to breathe.Gus further explained that his heart was pounding and he felt that something was lodged in his throat and that his stomach felt tight. The Olympian initially thought he was suffering from an allergic reaction. After a few checkups, it was confirmed that he had suffered a "life-threatening anaphylactic reaction," and had to be taken to the hospital in case of "rebound anaphylaxis."
