Overview

• On the Oct. 2 episode, recruits faced a submerged-vehicle escape and a head‑to‑head fighting drill that pushed the cast physically and emotionally.
• Eva Marcille required an on‑water rescue after the underwater escape, later requested a psychologist, and was removed by the Directing Staff for her safety.
• Teresa Giudice withdrew just before her daughter Gia’s fight, saying she could not watch her risk injury, and left the course voluntarily.
• Gia Giudice chose to remain in the competition despite visible distress, citing past family trauma as a trigger but committing to continue.
• Jussie Smollett failed the underwater escape twice by taking the wrong exit, grew emotional in a debrief that referenced his 2019 legal saga, and remains on the course.
