Special Forces Season 5 Finale: 3 Celebrity Winners Revealed

Why Candace Cameron Bure Was Left in Tears Detailing Her Marriage on Special Forces

These celebrities have proven they’re the world’s toughest.

While there were seven finalists heading into the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season five finale on Nov. 12, only three proved they truly had what it takes to win.

And those winners were: Candace Cameron Bure, Collin Gosselin and Alexia Umansky, who faced what one series staff sergeant called “12 hours of absolute hell” in order to ensure their victory. 

The three winners, as well as boxer Alycia Baumgardner, French celebrity David Charvet, comedian Hannah Stocking and NBA alum Matt Barnes’ final challenge involved 12 hours of simulated interrogation after the finalists were “captured behind enemy lines.” They were tasked with devising and maintaining cover stories, building rapport and acting human with their captors, all while making it to the very end through hours of intense interrogation, the downtime of which they were kept in rooms with hoods on.

Baumgardner eventually pulled herself out of the challenge when the pressure became too much, Charvet was removed for failing to build rapport with his captors and Stocking and Barnes failed when interrogators were able to debunk their cover stories.
