An early exit and a tough challenge on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

Tonight's episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test began with six remaining contestants - NFL athlete Danny Amendola, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, veteran basketball player Dwight Howard, actor and model Gus Kenworthy, Olympic soccer player Carli Lloyd, and MLB star Mike Piazza, getting ready for a new day.

Mike, however, woke up to pain from the injury in the previous episode. He felt that he could no longer take it and decided to choose voluntary withdrawal. The cast member felt he'd proven himself enough and could now leave without any regrets. He thus handed the armband and left the show.

For the first challenge on Special Forces, the contestants had to undergo a "Helicopter Extraction." They had to jump from a boat into the sea. A helicopter would be on top following them from which the agent will throw down a rope. The contestant had to manage their water-led weight and helicopter speed before climbing to the top.

Hannah tried hard but wasn't successful. Carli tried to climb up the rope twice and did better the second time, however, it wasn't enough to complete the challenge. Danny managed to balance the use of both his arms and legs and was the first recruit to complete the task. He was applauded by the DS agents and cheered on by the fellow contestants.

Dwight tried to climb the rope but eventually fell into the water. He didn't surface, following which helpers from the helicopter jumped in to help. As such, he ultimately failed the task. Meanwhile, Gus Kenworthy delivered one of his best performances, climbing the rope faster and completing the task in Special Forces.

Only Danny and Gus were able to complete the challenge. The DS agents applauded them for their grit, determination, and perseverance to complete the task and stated it was an integral part of the training, considering only a few people were left and most were eliminated.
