Danny and Billy get into a heated argument on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
Tonight's episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test began with the cast members getting ready for another day of encountering tough challenges.
They were already on their fifth day of training and had five more days to get through the rigorous training successfully. Eight of the recruits had already left voluntarily or due to medical injuries, and there were only eight more left in the series.
The official synopsis of the episode, titled Pressure, reads:
"The remaining celebrity recruits reach the halfway point in their 10-day journey, and the tasks are only getting harder; the recruits face a skyscraping tactical rappel and a high-pressure simulation that puts one recruit over the edge."
Most of the episode took place without any drama. Almost all Special Forces contestants, with the exception of Anthony Scaramucci and Mike Piazza, successfully completed the first challenge. They had to rappel down a 250 feet building and free fall with the technique explained by the agents.
For the second challenge, the cast members had to go through a driving ambush. They had to drive a car through the given route while escaping obstacles, including gunfire and explosions. Most of the contestants failed the task. Danny, however, got into a heated argument with DS agent Billy Billingham.
Prior to the Special Forces challenge in Episode 5, the agents discussed how Danny was one of the strongest competitors on board and just had to be pushed harder. This took place by the end of the ambush driving challenge. The agent intentionally riled up the NFL athlete throughout the episode, which led to Danny confronting the former.
Billy and Danny engaged in a heated argument after the challenge. After the latter addressed feeling disrespected, the agent screamed and threatened to remove him from the program. After Billy marched off the scene, Danny sat in the car with others and ripped off his armband in an effort to withdraw from the show.
While Anthony Scaramucci threatened to leave along with fellow Special Forces cast member, they eventually had their armbands back on after returning to the camp. Danny was then confronted by DS agent Billy in the room, where he was asked for his final decision. Will he leave or stay to live another day at camp?
The episode ended with the cliffanger. Viewers will have to tune in to find out if Danny will continue to compete or chooses voluntary withdrawal.
