Pete Dadds/FoxJordyn WeberThe decision to stay away from Special Forces: The toughest test in the world She may have quickly appeared on TV – but there was actually a lot of thought that led to her choosing to leave.
“It was very difficult. It was a difficult decision,” Weber, 29, said exclusively. Us Weekly. “And I'm standing there watching everyone do the challenge, and I probably went back and forth about 50 times. Like, 'Okay, I'll do that.' 'Okay, I won't do that. 'Okay, I'll do that. 'Okay, I won't do that.'”
Weber I decided to withdraw voluntarily From the competition during the Wednesday, January 15 episode of special forces Before attempting a submarine submersion mission. Weber explained we She had a negative experience with the beehive mission in the first episode, which led her to tread carefully as the water moved forward.
“The water started to really scare me and I felt like I was going to panic if I got back in the water,” she said. “Not to mention you're on the boat in a cage and all the other stuff.”
The Olympian added that she “wanted to say longer,” explaining: “I knew there were many other challenges that I could have dealt with and that I could have overcome and been strong enough to do, but the water was really scaring me.” . I was sad to leave, but I felt like it was a bit too much for me at the time.
Before trying it on special forcesWeber explained that she has never had a negative experience with the water.
“But at the same time, I never had to do anything in the water other than swim with friends in the pool,” she noted. “I don't really have any experience in the water. I can swim and kind of do basic things, but I've never been challenged to do it.”
Despite her hesitation about coming out, Wieber can finally look back and be confident in her decision.
One lesson learned by the stars of Special Forces: The World's Toughest Test is that harsh living conditions can be as difficult to deal with as challenges. Celebrities are pushed to their physical and mental limits by undergoing military training in the Fox competition series. The first two seasons of the show placed the cast in two (…)
“I think I made the right decision for me based on the amount of water used, but I didn't really know what I was going to do, and I couldn't have prepared for it,” she said. “We didn't really know the challenges early on.”
Although Wieber may have had a short stint on the show, she made a lasting impact because of her vulnerability. And in the second episode. Weber opened up To former Special Forces agents who mentor Staff Agents (DS) about being a victim of sexual assault. (Weber was one of Gymnasts who witnessed in Larry NassarTrial in 2018. Nassar was later convicted and sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison.)
For Weber, who considers herself “a bit more sober and emotional,” she didn't expect the emotional element in special forces.
“I think the way she breaks down physically and mentally, you can't help it. You become more emotionally vulnerable, so when you go into an interrogation room and they ask you about sensitive things, it makes sense,” she said, adding that it was “difficult” to watch. “When you go into something like this, you think you're going to be in control all the time, but when you're tired and exhausted, you can't really control the emotions that come out of you.”
