The recruits will have to spend a total of 10 days in boot camp, sustain tough environments as well as challenging tasks, thereby creating a lot of drama.
On this week's Special Forces episode, Mel B struggled with her mindset as she reflected on her abusive relationship, and how it hampers her self-confidence and self-worth.
Fans, however, were worried that she might quit, and took to social media to tell her not to leave the show as she was capable of handling things that came her way. One tweeted:
The official synopsis of the show reads:
"Sixteen household names arrive in the desert, about to endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. There are no votes and no eliminations - just survival."
Mel B reflects on her abusive relationship on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test
This week's episode of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test began with the remaining recruits getting ready to go to bed for a brand new day and a new challenge to test their limits. While most contestants tried to interact with each other, Jamie Lynn Spears decided that she couldn't stay in the camp for long and wanted to go back to her kids.
Mel B, who was standing with Jamie, asked the latter to be completely sure before the decision. However, the actress decided she wanted to leave the show, and after talking to the agents, opted for a voluntary withdrawal. This left the Spice Girls group member devastated as she was close to Jamie.
Ahead of the next day, Mel B was finding it difficult to get through. During the meeting, the Special Agents agreed that the singer was tough and was doing a good job. However, they felt that her mind was a "cause of concern," and that she needed to "stop the noise in her head." They then called the contestant for a brief meeting.
When Mel B reached the agents' tent, they asked her how she felt about her performance thus far. While the contestant stated she was doing alright, the trainers revealed that the star was, in fact, doing very well.
They then explained that they thought she had a "massive amount of self-doubt." The singer noted that every time someone would applaud her, she would always doubt her abilities, and that it was her past abusive relationship that was to blame.
The Special Forces contestant then said:
"This, for me, is just about taking back my own power, my own control. That's why I'm not gonna beat myself up if I don't stay any longer than this. Since I came out of a really abusive relationship, ten years I was in that. And I've been oit of it for seven years, and I've dealt with it in bits and pieces."
Mel B, however, further stated that when she was applauded, she had a constant reminder of "the self-worthlessness and being called so many names," throughout the course of her abusive relationship that would come into force.
However, the Special Forces agents applauded her for her grit and determination and wanted the Spice Girls member to believe in herself.
