Kody and Brianna were stressed tested by pouring buckets of water on their heads as they endured verbal questioning while Gia, Andrew and Shawn were repeatedly submerged entirely under water as mock torture.
While Shawn remained solid, the directing staff called out her husband Andrew’s performance as “abysmal.”
As Foxy noted, “If a recruit can’t grasp the situation they’re in and adapt to it, they’re not going to do well on this phase. They’re going to fail it.”
That’s when Andrew’s journey in the competition ended.
Rodolfo “Rudy” Reyes informed the retired NFL star, “11, you did not apply the tactics and the training that was explained to you for this portion of the course. For that reason, you have failed the course. Give me your armband.”
However, Rudy praised the athlete by adding, “You did really good to get this far. It’s f–king hard isn’t it? Keep your head up.”
In a confessional, Andrew reflected of his accomplishments, “What a ride it was. Learned a lot. I’m bummed that I didn’t pass selection but I didn’t fully understand the situation. I did not voluntarily withdraw myself, so I can rest easy knowing I gave it all I had. No doubt Shawn will make it ’til the end.”
