They aren\u2019t the first stars this season to get the boot. But we doubt this detail helped their feelings in the slightest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Christie woke up on day 7, she knew that she was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/gia-giudice-panic-attack-during-150800934.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:going downhill fast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">going downhill fast<\/a>. Her breathing was struggling, plus she had been up all night coughing. Therefore, this retired Olympic soccer star asked to see a medic. \u201cI need something,\u201d she told Dr. Andy Brown, adding, \u201cI can\u2019t breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After her checkup, Christie received devastating news. \u201cYour chest sounds really tight, and you\u2019ve got lots of crackles in your lungs as well. I think you\u2019ve probably got a chest infection. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea for you to do any more exercise,\u201d Dr. Brown said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Mark was also feeling <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/special-forces-season-4-teaser-145644047.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:down for the count;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">down for the count<\/a>. \u201cMy ear feels so f*cked up. It feels so weird,\u201d he said. Then, during his visit with a medic, his ear pain began to worsen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere is some swelling there. It can cause long-term disfigurement.\u201d So, \u201cNumber 3 needs to go to the hospital to be seen by an EMT surgeon as soon as possible,\u201d his doctor stressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Both Christie and Mark were devastated. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/brianna-chickenfry-lapaglia-annoyed-special-175959758.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:But their directors;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">But their directors<\/a> applauded them for their efforts nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fox.com\/special-forces-worlds-toughest-test\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test<\/a> airs on Fox on Thursdays at 9\/8c.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>TELL US \u2013 ARE YOU SAD TO SEE MARK AND CHRISTIE GO?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/11\/07\/special-forces-worlds-toughest-test-stars-injuries\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test Stars Exit After Brutal Injuries;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test Stars Exit After Brutal Injuries<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Forces: World\u2019s Toughest Test, a competitive, physically grueling reality television series, is now down two more cast members, thanks to their injuries on set.
