Introduction

16 celebrity contestants battle through a set of emulated special forces training challenges, they are removed from society and the staff sergeants control everything within the camp.

This is the US version of the UK’s SAS: Who Dares Wins. It is also known as Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins USA.

Outline

Selection for the Special Forces is a test unlike any other. Celebrities from all genres take on – and try to survive – demanding training exercises led by directing staff agents, an elite team of ex-Special Forces operatives. In this unique series, the only way for these recruits to leave is to give up on their own accord, through failure or potential injury, or by force from the agents. Viewers see the recruits face the harshest of environments that simulate the highly classified selection process, pushing themselves in the ultimate test of their physical, mental and emotional resilience and revealing the celebrities’ deepest and truest character.
