Special Forces ultimate hell week

Stephanie has done well but won't make the hike,I don't think any of the ladies on any if the series have finished the hike within the time

A girl won the first series if I recall correctly.

I thought Rory did well.

Peter Stringer is shining on this episode.

Stringer is absolute fcking beast. Just pure drive.

Janey mac.

I feel like a right slob now watching them from the couch

How long was their climb in total?

I can't hate on them to be honest, they were clearly pushed to their limit there.

Apart from Peter Stringer who, by the looks of it, probably could have been in special forces.

Carrying a large weight on your back as well? Rather them than me. Fair play to those who managed to finish it.

Half marathon with 45lbs on your back in the boggy mountains of Cork/Kerry is some going. Nightmare for someone with a fractured rib.

That 300m might be 300m of altitude rather than 300m of track. Big difference.

Nocher was hugely impressive. Just would not quit.

That hike was nuts, they don't do anything remotely like that on the British version. Balls of steel to complete that

Rory looks like he needs some time with a therapist. He seems to have some serious issues with his mental health. Not sure how he was allowed last so long

yeah but I thought it was 21k out, to make them think that was it but then tell them it was 21k back.

If it was only 21k then they should of done that in under 5 hours on the march that Stringer was leading. But they all looked so bolloxed they were walking for at least 10 hours.

Maybe Im wrong, the constant RTE repeats will soon be incoming so we'll soon find out 😂

The new Bressie..

With 20Kg on your back? Rule of thumb averages walking pace at 5kmh, possibly slower with a heavy pack. Add 10 minutes for every 100m ascent on the walk and you would only need 300m ascent on each of the out and back walks to make it a 5 hour trek.

great TV, looks to be proper suffering.

Is Ryan Andrew's rib really broken, at first I thought he's an actor so is just putting it on for TV but has it been x-rayed etc... Unreal last night from him to finish that hike carrying 20kg with a broken rib.

Stringer looked like he would've turned around and done it again. He's the obvious choice at this stage to win it, now that the soldier fella's knee is fcuked.

Murphy should've just sat on a wall and waited for last place to catch up to him then went with them. He might've regained energy and resolve by then. (Easy to think of these things sitting on a couch eating crisps)

would like to see was their actual cut off times or was all that just made up for TV and basically they knew ppl would just drop like flies during it so no real need to show audience where the time cut off was...once person had the resolve to get to the end they were keeping them in.

Love the show

Rory really annoyed me last night. When they realized that one person didn't get dinner, the rest all jumped up giving bits out of their bowl (ok a bit unhygienic but you get over that) but there was zero budge out of Rory. He definitely seemed to have a very selfish streak to him that was "cloaked" with "mental health" statements.

He must have been passed mentally fit too. I'd be having a word with the support staff. In fairness though, he got through a lot before he cracked and it was only fatigue that got him.

Tbh - and this is my view and I may be being harsh - I didn't think Rory came across that well.

Okay, I understand he has had mental health struggles but he actually seemed more self absorbed and kind of wrapped up in his own ego than even the influencer types did. Okay he showed vulnerability, but it was still always fundamentally about him.

That did come across terribly I thought too but you've got to remember they pulled him out of bed to see the medic, he was absolutely wankered at that stage and suffering from sleep deprivation. I doubt he'd of lasted the hike but I think he can feel a bit hard done by that they didn't leave him sleep till the am.
