23 Sep
Summary
- Santos was unable to climb onto a dock after a helicopter water exit.
- Actor Oliver Hudson assisted Santos, but he fell off again.
- Santos previously served 84 days for fraud after sentence commutation.
Convicted fraudster George Santos is facing significant difficulties on the premiere of 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test.' During the initial challenge, which involves exiting a helicopter into water, Santos struggled to pull himself onto a dock. Directing Staff members expressed frustration as Santos repeatedly failed to get out of the water.
Actor Oliver Hudson was enlisted to help Santos, but even with assistance, Santos slipped back into the water. This appearance on the Fox reality series follows Santos' release from federal prison in October 2025, where he served 84 days for wire fraud and identity theft. His original sentence was scheduled to end in 2031 but was commuted by President Donald Trump.
Santos himself admitted to not being physically fit or athletic, acknowledging the show as a major challenge. He did, however, tease that he was not the first recruit eliminated from the competition. The season also features other celebrities like Brandi Glanville, Candace Cameron Bure, and Hannah Stocking.
