Hear that? It's the groans from the celebrity cast of *Special Forces: World's Toughest Test*.

This season, the likes of TV veterans Jussie Smollett, *Sister Wives'* Kody Brown, as well as athletes such as Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East (and her husband Andrew) and former NFL star Johnny Manziel have taken the challenge to complete exercises similar to the grueling ones done by Special Forces trainees in real life.

Recruits have wasted no time taking on tasks that require them to repel from a helicopter hovering in the air or being submerged underwater for 20 seconds. And those aren't the only assignments they've taken on. There's also been a lot of running, bear crawls through the mud, and being called out by their instructors if they let up for even a moment.

The most recent episode on Oct. 2 saw the departures of two reality icons. *The Real Housewives of New Jersey *star Teresa Giudice ended up quitting when her daughter Gia, who is also competing this season, was summoned to fight Olympian Christie Pearce Rampone in hand-to-hand combat. "All right, I'm withdrawing," Teresa said when Gia's number was called. "I can't see you fight." She later explained, "I'm not a quitter. But it's gonna be really hard for me to not be able to step in if she is in a vulnerable position. I just want to protect her."

Meanwhile, actress and *America's Next Top Model* winner Eva Marcille was eliminated for safety reasons after suffering a terifying medical emergency during an earlier challenge.

Follow along below to see who else has been eliminated or quit, and who is still in the competition. Make sure to check back each week for updates.**
