AceShowbiz - On the premiere of FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test", viewers were introduced to a diverse group of celebrities attempting to conquer military training exercises under the guidance of ex-Special Forces operatives.

Among the new recruits were Stephen Baldwin, Denise Richards, former NFL star Cam Newton, and former Bachelorettes, Trista Sutter and Ali Fedotowsky. The season took place in the rugged terrains of North Wales, setting the stage for a grueling test of endurance.

Baldwin, introducing himself as the youngest Baldwin brother and "a thespian," sought to bring his experience from past roles into this unforgiving reality. "I've trained twice with military technical advisers. Am I a Special Forces guy? No, but I've played one on TV," Stephen said confidently.

The first challenge required the participants to jump from a speeding boat to a helicopter, a daunting task that Baldwin successfully completed alongside half the cast.

However, things quickly took a turn for Baldwin. He soon found himself in discomfort, voicing concerns that he may have injured himself. During a medical consultation, he shared his apprehensions, "I smashed my meniscus on the helicopter today and my back is in knots and I can't turn my head past there."

What ensued was an unexpected and tense exchange with the on-duty doctor. "Are you being paid to do this?" Baldwin questioned, before passionately declaring, "I have a gig right after this. The one condition for that gig is that I not get injured. It's not worth it to me. It's not worth it to have to go into a hospital for a couple of weeks."

The show's operatives perceived Baldwin's behavior as searching for an "excuse" to exit, ultimately leading to his dismissal. "No. 5, you failed this course and you failed yourself. Go," one of the operatives stated firmly.

Just a day into selection, Baldwin was the first to leave. Reflecting on his brief stint, Baldwin had previously shared with Us Weekly that he encountered "multiple breaking points" due to his pre-existing condition with asthma, remarking that the challenge "just became very real, very fast."

"Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" continues to air on Fox at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesdays, promising viewers a season filled with intense challenges and raw, unscripted human reactions. Baldwin's short-lived participation stands as a testament to the unpredictable and arduous nature of the show, making it a must-watch for fans of reality television.
