This week, the recruits are tasked with a new challenge – Unarmed Combat – where each student has to select a person they want to fight.
The next event is one of the most intense tests on the Hell Week course. Recruits are taken to the respiratory test facility at the Curragh for the CS Gas test. Each recruit enters the chamber in pairs and removes their gas mask, before being asked a number of questions while inhaling the gas.
In the final challenge, some uncomfortable truths come to surface and it’s clear which recruits are on the brink of quitting the Hell Week course.
Series overview:
Designed to break all but the toughest of individuals, this year’s course is even more demanding then the last. A new set of tasks, locations and challenges, it is the ultimate test of the recruits physical, emotional and psychological resilience. Just two recruits passed the course last year; do any of these new recruits have what it takes to impress the DS and make it through hell?
Special Forces – Ultimate Hell Week is the mother of all challenges; will any of the recruits prove to the DS they have what it takes to pass selection.
This is not like any other reality TV series, there is no guaranteed winner, no certainty that anyone will make it to the end. This is raw, real and relentless. Produced by Motive Television, Special Forces – Ultimate Hell Week Series 2 has returned to RTÉ2.
