Special Forces ultimate hell week

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 9:49pm

No 11 should be booted off for his motivational comments to the two lads. Means nothing coming from him.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 9:57pm

This last week and the interrogation has become too predictable.

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 9:59pm

Hope we get to see the hot red head again from last year!

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 9:59pm

Missed the start. I see my favourites 7 and young Buggy are gone.

Now for the Rory's Stories bawling torture audio.

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:02pm

I'm convinced those stress positions and torture sounds could really fcuk you up long term!

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:04pm

I find that interrogator with the beard, who looks like Eric Lalor, comedian and Fair City, absolutely shite and not a bit intimidating.

AMKC · 26-05-2022 10:06pm

Awe he fu-cked up there. He knows he was lieing now.

Listen to a Rory Stories audio would completely fcuk me up😅

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:07pm

I find this last test very boring. There's no danger of going out unless you give them the info of what you're really there for.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:09pm

You would need a strong nervous system.

castletownman · 26-05-2022 10:09pm

Ah sure the two women are mammies, crying babies would be a cinch for them.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:10pm

And here she is😊

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:10pm

Awh she's here 😍😍😍😍

AMKC · 26-05-2022 10:10pm

Lol increased visibility with the Red Cross lol.

The baby crying sounds I could cope with but I wouldn't last 2 mins with the stress positions.

AMKC · 26-05-2022 10:12pm

You might find it boring but imagine being them being so sleep deprived as sleep deprived as they are. That's when mistakes happen.

AMKC · 26-05-2022 10:13pm

Now it gets interesting.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:15pm

New interrogator next season..

https://youtu.be/83FKo_Xj-Ks

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:17pm

The more I hear that interrogator with the beard...he's like a dad's army interrogator, even the way he curses and dropping 'motherfcuker' in sounds forced.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:18pm

This episode is fairly shite.

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:18pm

I find all the previous seasons has given them the solution to finishing. They need to change it up..

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:21pm

Shite finish!

castletownman · 26-05-2022 10:22pm

Pretty sure I have heard that background music in The Leftovers. Appropriately enough.

Billy Ocean · 26-05-2022 10:22pm

No.20 should get the Peter Stringer award of being absolutely unbreakable.

AMKC · 26-05-2022 10:24pm

Jeez how do you even get back to Normal life after that? You would need at least a weeks holiday just to get your head right. Also what do you tell people when your going on the show? Going for a weeks holiday lol and then you come back looking like sh-it. I would say going on 2 weeks holidays.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:24pm

We didn't see the errors and weakness on screen that made them fail No.7. Was he any worse than No.6 or No.11??

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:26pm

There's a big prize DS. Passing ultimate army hell week for one. National exposure and the acclaim of all who know you aswell.

That's a big prize.

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119119530#Comment_119119530

No. They took a dislike to him for his personality, coming across like a clutz.

They got rid off too many people who actually passed the hike and after the water thing tonight.

Billy Ocean · 26-05-2022 10:27pm

Feck the beers, after that week I'd want a big dirty fry up.

castletownman · 26-05-2022 10:27pm

Jaysus.

After a week of that hell, I'd be most annoyed seeing them come in with a six pack of Corona Light.

Billy Ocean · 26-05-2022 10:28pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119119528#Comment_119119528

Heard Mayo footballer Padraig O'Hora who completed this 2 years ago saying his sleep was all over the place for a month after it.

SunnySundays · 26-05-2022 10:28pm

The final was my least favourite eposide.

Kind of lost interest after 7 & 18 were out.

Still fair play to 3 who passed.

Pussyhands · 26-05-2022 10:29pm

Very repetitive. Everyone who goes on it now has the secret to passing.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119119541#Comment_119119541

He was likeable enough and fairly good at everything, compare him with Rory Stories who should have been gone after an hour. Or Valerie Mulcahy taking the piss. I'm losing respect for these DSs. Seem to have agendas.

They may re jig that programme. Obviously very tough for the participants but very poor TV.

_NAGDEFY · 26-05-2022 10:38pm

If going on the show you know final day practice should be.

1. Learn how to deflect as long as possible.

2. Concoct 3 or 4 stories of a mission that looks like a military mission but isn't. Practise them.

3. Final step slow drip feed of the truth with the least important bits first.

Man Vs ManUre · 26-05-2022 10:40pm

So the prize for passing the course is a bottle of Corona and a ham/cheese/lettuce sandwich.

Man Vs ManUre · 26-05-2022 10:44pm

Who’s gonna eat the sandwich after they just eat a tray of the beef stroganoff?? Maybe they take the sandwich home on the bus and eat it in Kinnegad.

26-05-2022 10:56pm

I was full sure that the DS's were going to come in and flip the table at the end, telling them to get the packs back on because it wasn't over.

I felt sorry for the two guys pulled from the show to make it three. I think it would hurt the most to have to leave just in order for final logistics....seem to always have to be a final 3,

billyhead · 27-05-2022 10:53am

The week isn't comparible to the real selection course. It's a stripped down version of it. You couldn't tell if these 3 would even pass the real selection course.

AnotherMember · 27-05-2022 11:25am

No 20 Ellen Vitting is the real deal. Winning adventure races and triathlons for years.

Pussyhands · 27-05-2022 12:00pm

In the real world their brains would be splattered all over the wall after a round of bullets.

The whole tactics of "cover story, delay, drip feed" wouldn't work realistically as the enemy knows what you're trying to do. You'd likely be getting tortured to get info from them.

PauloMN · 27-05-2022 2:12pm

Kind of missing the point? It's an entertainment show which replicates some of the techniques used by special forces to pick suitable candidates.

It's interesting to see how much people can take of the various different challenges, what is too much for some people, how people face their fears etc.. Regardless of the "real world", I think anyone that gets to the very end of that event is a very strong individual indeed - and st. The three that got to the end were definitely deserving of their achievements, but it shows that just one thing can break someone - for example the young lad (Buggy was his surname) - he did really well and just panicked in the water.

appledrop · 30-05-2022 3:51pm

Only catching up on final episode now.

Absolutely disgusted they let number 7 go.

He got to end fair and square and was a good team player.

A joke.

boccy23 · 30-05-2022 3:53pm

Watched on the player last night and thought 100% the same. Whatever about the personality, he didn't deserve to get dropped like that before the last part. Same for 23.

Felt so staged and yes I know it is an entertainment show, but that felt too contrived.

appledrop · 30-05-2022 3:56pm

Oh it seemed unfair on 23 aswell, it's just that he got so little air time we didn't real get to know him. It was same with guy who bottled it in water challenge.

6 was definitely much weaker than those two if it was about people barely scrapping through.

I'm laughing at the crying baby 'torture' music + lack of sleep, as a mother of a 3mth old sure thats out daily life, so we all pass the survival test!🤣

siblers · 30-05-2022 11:34pm

Surprised 11 passed interrogation. Thought he'd be pulled over the car Reg and cover letter

hayse · 30-05-2022 11:35pm

Those ds lads are as tough as my last dose of diarrhoea.

siblers · 30-05-2022 11:36pm

I hope they bring back the undercover guy as a DS, he's very entertaining

patob · 30-05-2022 11:50pm

Enjoyed it once again but production was not great. No proper introduction of the contestants, some contestants got very little coverage, and very little on contestant background and backstories.

siblers · 31-05-2022 2:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119119441#Comment_119119441

Quite a few have failed in the past during this part in the Irish and British versions. There's usually at least 1 who will fail. Seems like this year they really didn't want those 3 to fail.
