Who Won Special Forces: World's Toughest Test Season 4?
Gia Giudice and Shawn Johnson East are the winners of Special Forces Season 4. Out of 18 celebrity recruits, only two completed the brutal nine-day training camp and passed the final interrogation phase. The finale aired on November 20, 2025, with both women surviving the intense last challenge. This season saw the lowest completion rate so far: just 11% of contestants finished. Felt harsh just watching. Bye Wig Hello Drama (@HousewivesHub) shared on X that Gia Giudice and Shawn Johnson were the only two to make it through Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
Special Forces Season 4 Finale: Last 5 Standing
The last five finalists were:
-
Gia Giudice
-
Shawn Johnson East
-
Andrew East
-
Kody Brown
-
Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia
On day 9, recruits faced a mock interrogation. Each had a cover story and endured physical and psychological pressure, blindfolds, isolation, and being buried alive in front of the Directing Staff. Andrew East was eliminated after breaking character under questioning; Kody Brown shut down emotionally and left out of stubbornness. Brianna LaPaglia couldn’t hold her cover while being buried in mud and confessed, ending her run with just minutes left. Only Gia and Shawn denied their military status and passed the selection.
Married couple Shawn and Andrew East both made the finale. Only Shawn completed the course; Andrew failed the interrogation and was disqualified. Kody (Sister Wives) and Brianna both dropped during the final challenge. The interrogation phase was nasty no no-nonsense.
