Special Forces: World's Toughest Test aired a brand new episode on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, at 8 pm ET on Fox. The two-hour offering featured the 12 remaining contestants compete in some of the toughest challenges.

It also showed them handling the tough environment and dealing with intensive training from the special forces agents throughout the course of the episode. While some managed to bear the intensity, others couldn't make it all the way to the end.

On this week's Special Forces episode, Jamie Lynn Spears quit the competition after wanting to be with her kids. She chose to withdraw voluntarily, handed her armband to the DS agent, and left the show. Fans, however, slammed Jamie for her exit. One tweeted:

Jamie Lynn Spears quits Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

This week's episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test began with the celebrity contestants getting ready to settle in their tents for the night.

The official synopsis of Episode 2, titled Mindset, read:

"The recruits are faced with an emergency escape drill; tensions begin to arise as the recruits confront each other over disagreements and the pressure of the selection process becomes too much to handle for some."

While some of the cast members were seen having friendly conversations, Mel B was out of their tent, speaking to an emotional Jamie Lynn Spears.

Jamie revealed that she wanted to go home and be with her kids rather than compete. The star told fellow contestant Mel B that she couldn't stay in the competition even for another day as she wanted to get back to her kids. The Spice Girls member offered to listen to and help her through the tough situation, which would allow her to stay in the competition, Jamie chose otherwise.

In a confessional, the Special Forces contestant said:

“I miss my children if I’m away from them for like a couple of hours, I miss them. So this is a very big leap for me.”

Jamie then called the staff and was emotional as she confessed she wanted to go home and see her children. It was surprising to the viewers that the DS agent didn't ask too many questions apart from the reason why she wanted to leave.

When the actress revealed that she wanted to be with her babies, the agent asked her to hand over her armband. She then chose a voluntary withdrawal and left the show.

However, when asked about her decision to leave Special Forces, Jamie said:

"It probably goes back to a lot of things. Not only do I just love them and want to be with them, but also being away from them like this, even just for myself, it makes me feel like a crap mom, you know? They didn’t ask for their mom to be gone.”

The DS agent then revealed his reason for not pressuring or convincing Jamie to stay. He said:

"We as DS know when someone’s going to quit. We see recruits stuck inside their own brains feeling sorry for themselves, and once they get to that point there is no turning back."

The actress had previously also struggled with the thought of her kids' drowning incident in the premiere challenge of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. She also addressed her concerns about being considered Britney Spears' sister and her struggle with not being able to achieve anything on her own.
