Season 4 Down to the Final Round as Contestants Battle to the Finish

With the grueling celebrity competition series entering its later stages, the fourth season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test has reached a pivotal moment. After multiple medical withdrawals and voluntary exits, only six recruits remain in the field. 

Who’s Still Standing

The current contestants still in play are:

• Kody Brown (TV personality) 

• Shawn Johnson East (Olympic gold-medalist) 

• Andrew East (former NFL long snapper) 

• Gia Giudice (podcaster/influencer) 

• Randall Cobb (former NFL wide receiver) 

• Brianna LaPaglia (podcaster/influencer) 

Recent Departures

• Former U.S. women’s soccer captain Christie Pearce Rampone and TikTok influencer Mark Estes were both medically withdrawn in Episode 7 after severe injuries. 

• Other early exits include former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel, Victoria’s Secret alum Chanel Iman, and several others by either injury or voluntary withdrawal. 

How Many Weeks Left?

While the show does not publicly specify a fixed number of remaining episodes, the pace of departures suggests the field is rapidly narrowing. Having reached six contestants by Episode 7, the season appears well into its second half. Based on past seasons (which typically run five to eight weeks) and current progression, there are approximately 2-3 weeks remaining until the final leg of the course.

What to Watch For

• Intensity of remaining challenges: With fewer recruits, the next phases are expected to step up in difficulty and emotional pressure.

• Final “selection” moment: The show’s format rarely involves formal eliminations but instead sees contestants either complete the course, voluntarily withdraw, or be medically withdrawn—making the upcoming final tasks especially pivotal.

• Character arcs & storylines: With Kody Brown and Brianna LaPaglia still competing, viewers will likely see more introspection and personal-growth moments as each recruit faces the mental side of the battle.

• Completion vs. drop-out rate: Past seasons have seen very few finishers; the remaining recruits will now fight for that rare finish.

Final Thoughts

This season of Special Forces has lived up to its name: raw, relentless and unpredictable. With the field trimmed to half a dozen survivors and the end in sight, viewers will be keen to see who endures and whether anyone makes it all the way. The next few weeks promise a dramatic conclusion.
