Season 5 of Special Forces: The toughest test in the world has been steadily losing staff just two days into the challenge – but the final contestant to be kicked off the show shocked viewers when he made the decision after refusing to poop outside.
NFL player Mac Coi’s lessonwho previously thought he would make it far in the tournament, retired during the Thursday, October 1, episode of the hit Fox series.
“We’re out here with very little stuff like this. But in real life, I saw a big mosquito, just as big as this, and they were doing a lot of biting. When I woke up the next morning, I had so many bites on my back,” he told us about the challenges alone. “My first day there, we went into the jungle and the bathroom was outside. Now that was tough. Like, who, we use the bathroom outside? So in my head, I said, ‘I’ve got to keep this thing inside while I’m here.’ That’s what I think.”
He continued: “When I looked into the bathroom, it was just a hole, wood, hoop and bucket. That was it. And there was a big snake in there. I say, ‘Oh, hell no.’ So I said, ‘I’m not using the bathroom.’ They found snakes. I saw a king cobra.”
McCoy, 38, found the conditions to be the “hardest” part.
“Obviously the missions and tasks were tough, but it’s the stuff you’re not prepared for,” he continued. “I’ve seen that stuff in zoos and on TV – I’ve never seen those kinds of animals or creatures in person. That was terrifying.”
In Thursday’s episode, McCoy got into a conversation with his fellow recruits about using the bathroom.
“I’m not dating outside,” he told the group. “I won’t s*** for three days or eight days.”
Others, however, were concerned about McCoy’s choice. Oliver Hudson asked the athlete about his game plan, saying, “What are you going to do?
Although he hoped to push through, when McCoy visited the restroom, which was open, he officially dismissed it, saying, “I’m not ready for this whole thing. I don’t give a s*** here.”
McCoy then called the Supervisors over to deliver the news.
“Staff, your bed gets mosquitoes all night, but it’s cool. This stuff is great, but I’m not going out,” he said. “I’m cool. I’m not doing anything else.”
McCoy wasn’t the only one with bathroom problems in Thursday’s episode. Hudson, 50, got into trouble after telling the DS he couldn’t launch a challenge because he had to go to the bathroom. He was then ordered to do 50 push-ups as punishment.
Elsewhere in the program, both George Santos and Rose Point they pulled out of the show for separate medical injuries and reasons.
Special Forces: The toughest test in the world season 5 airs on Fox Thursdays at 9pm ET.
