Kody Brown (and his signature poodle perm) will be one of the 18 reality TV stars, athletes and social media influencers pushed to their limits on the upcoming season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test!
FOX officially announced the Season 4 cast list on Wednesday, revealing that, competing alongside the Sister Wives villain will be The Valley star Brittany Cartwright, Real Housewives mother/daughter duo Teresa and Gia Giudice and more.
The first cast photos were also released on Wednesday, showing the contestants in their miliary-inspired frocks. As fans know, ‘Special Forces’ places famous people in challenges meant to replicate part of the selection course for the real United States Special Forces. The contestants must endure grueling mental and physical tests in military-inspired environments. Contestants are not eliminated or voted out, but can withdraw themselves at any point during the show. (Many contestants are also medically withdrawn from the show, or can be disqualified for not following the rules or not completing tasks.)
After his participation was announced, Kody— who has never appeared on a reality show other than ‘Sister Wives’—made a rare post to his long-abandoned Instagram account, admitting that the show was “exciting” but had him blubbering like a baby.

“This was the most exciting experience of an age!” he wrote in a post featuring the cast announcement. “Tune in and watch me and my peers suffer? Wanna see me cry? No…like full on sobbing!”

Joining Kody on the sob-fest that will be ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ Season 4 are:

Eva Marcille (Actress, ‘America’s Next Top Model’ winner & ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star); Jessie James Decker (Country music singer); Eric Decker (Former NFL player & Jessie’s husband)

Jussie Smollett (“Empire” actor & singer); Shawn Johnson (Olympic gymnast); Andrew East (Former NFL player & Shawn Johnson’s husband)

Teresa Giudice (‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star); Gia Giudice (‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ star & Teresa’s daughter); Brittany Cartwright (‘The Valley’ star)

Chanel Iman (Supermodel); Randall Cobb (Former NFL player); Johnny Manziel (Former NFL player/ Heisman winner)

Christie Pearce Rampone (Olympic & pro soccer player); Ravi V. Patel (Actor); Nick Young (Former NBA player)

Mark Estes “Montana Boyz” TikToker; Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia (Podcaster & social media personality)
Very few contestants make it all the way through the test, as most voluntarily withdraw or are medically withdrawn before the end. During Season 3, only two contestants of 16— Brody Jenner and Kayla Nicole— passed the test. In Season 2, only three of the 14 passed (Nick Viall, Tyler Cameron and Erin Jackson). During Season 1, only Hannah Brown and Carli Lloyd passed. (The other 14 quit or were medically withdrawn).
‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ Season 4 premieres Thursday, September 25 on FOX.

I don’t know how Brittany is going to NOT hurt herself with those ginormous fake “Jax bags”. I wouldn’t doubt if later down the line she’s going to need a surgery because one of the implants has either popped or moved! I’m 100% positive Kody will either quit or fake an injury. I’m guessing Gia is going to give up, but somehow, I think Teresa is going to do better than people think. At least she’ll last long enough to get paid. I mean, she and Brittany both have that SPOUSAL DEBT to pay off!
No way.
Thank God for the ID channel. I’d probably have to cancel Comcast otherwise.
Some thoughts ….. Jussie not just an actor and singer.. You forgot to mention he’s an out right liar and attention seeker.
Brittany won’t last more than a day or two…. Well till they have to do the high water drop and one of her inflated fun bags pops.
Tre& Gi will just be complaining the whole time till they get hearted off.
I’m praying Kody lasts till the ‘milling” round…I really want to see him getting punched in the face.
Don’t know/care about the rest.
Wait….can the tenders suddenly survive more than a night or two without Kody? 🤔
Right? Turns out he can actually leave his kids if the price is right. Too bad Truely and Savannah didn’t have any money to offer him.
Ah geez.
Why do they insist on Teresa and Gia all the time. They get pushed down our throats and we are over them. It’s like Bravo feels sorry for them but they do it to themselves
I have never watched an episode of Housewives anything and I cannot stand the thought of listening to those 2 whine.
I haven’t either. I think she’s the one who flipped that table and her husband went to prison. Classy lady.
Hey he’s got to make that Etsy spending money somehow.
Im actually excited for this cast. Will definitely be watching this next month.
I’ll be shocked if crybaby Kootie manages to make it through. Remember, this is the guy that thought he was dying of Covid, with a “fever” of 99.8. He’s a total wuss.
I’m going to laugh my ass off at Kody. They will make him cry as soon as his feet hit the ground. And they are not Suki. He can’t throw a fit and make demands.
Brittany is random. She won’t last.
It’s weird to me that they have some married couples and the rest are singles. If they wanted to have a show with just people that were married they should have. I can’t help but to think that they will have an unfair advantage over everyone else.
What in the world is Teresa and Gia doing there? Again, unfair advantage.
I wish to god that Robyn that was included in this cast bahaha
LOL is Jussie uncanceled now that everyone forgot he staged a robbery of himself and filed fake police reports etc. Long list of similarly shitty people here. Yes, I will be watching this dumb show to see A. his tears & B. his opponents crush him to metaphorical (sadly) death.
Kody’s tears and ego death, just to clarify. IDGAF about Jussie the Liar and Police Resource Waster (Your taxes paid for that, y’all).
Failure of a father. Terrible husband. Will I watch anything to see him lose his ass.?? Yes indeed.
Hopefully he’ll get his face pummeled in the milling round.
