SPECIAL FORCES Season 2- C if C+ Celebrities Survive Survival Training

Catch the reality show SPECIAL FORCES which puts quasi celebrities through the most grueling physical rigors is in season 2 on FOX TV.  I missed season 1 but I'm not going to miss 1 episode also airing on HULU.  I've got 2 friends who surprised me by joining the show which gives viewing an added blast.   What's fun for all is to see how this cast will last.  It makes me wonder, as I'm sure some of you, too, is how you would do.  These tests are not for the faint of heart.  In fact, they're enough to take down some super stars from the NBA and NFL.  The directing "staff"agents, former special force task members make the participants' daily lives hell.  In the assembled troop for season 2 there's Tara Reid, whose a has been and never should a been on the show but then she's the 1st to go.  (Thankfully, and no surprise.)  Then there's pugnacious, self-assured Blac Chyna whose every shade of annoying.  Her false facade of bravado is nothing but ego and she's next to go.  She wouldn't have lasted for long anyway without her hair or make-up crew.   Next comes the surprising departure of one of physically strongest contestants, former NFL player Dez Bryant.  With an opportunity to redeem himself for having "failed" a task, he had to wait hanging upside down.  This turned him into such a hot head he quit in a rage but showed a much meeker side in approaching staff to take him back.  Despite listening without rancor, there was no second chance for the recalcitrant, expectant athlete.  Overall, the show's appeal deals with both mental as well as physical strength.  The least obvious competitor may somehow score more.  It's fun to find someone to cheer for and someone to see grovel.  So far, the terrifying and demanding drills involved high wire crossings from death defying heights, submerging in below freezing waters and excruciating obstacle courses weighted down with equipment.  Those who may be fun to jeer include realty TV's Tom Sandoval ("Vanderpump Rules") and perhaps a more humble former Olympian Bode Miller.  There's some women competitors who may throw off bettors' odds like Kelly Rizzo Saget and the youngest, JoJo Siwa.  This reality show has me intrigued to see how the group works together as a unit, what they're expected to do and who will be the last one standing.   Tune in to see what it means for these somehow celebrities strive to be the best they can be.  And, why they chose to be there in the first.
