‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Brittany Cartwright โขExits ‘Special Forces’ After First Day, Admits “So โคEmbarrassing”
Brittany CartwrightS attempt to prove her physical and mental fortitude on Fox’s Special forces ended โขabruptly on day one, with the Vanderpump Rules alum withdrawing from the grueling competition after struggling through a demanding initial challenge in the Moroccan heat. Cartwright’s early exit appears to validate concerns previously expressedโ by her estranged โhusband, Jason Cauchi, regarding her physical capabilities.
The reality star confessed her anxieties to co-star Mark Estes before the competition began, stating, “I’m scared they’re going to get mad because I giggle all the time. They’re going to hateโ me.” Despite facing a fear of heights andโ completing the initialโ challenge – a โคjump from a helicopter,albeit without proper form -โข Cartwright quickly foundโค herself overwhelmed by โthe subsequent physical demands.
Coaches informed Cartwright she was falling significantly behind, โwarning, “You’re โgetting further and further behind. You are goingโ home before the course even starts.” Cartwright herself voiced her doubts, saying, “I can’t. I don’t think I can make it,” and admitting in โa confessional,โข “I’m not the fittest I’ve ever โคbeen in my life right now, that’s without a doubt.”
Approximately 500 yards intoโค a run towards a stop point, Cartwrightโค halted, visibly distressed. “I feel like I’m going to pass out. I’m sorry,” she said,โ adding, “I don’t want to โbe the first โคto go butโฆ I’m just, I can’t move.” When pressed to continue, Cartwright stated, “I can’t. I’m going to throw up. I’m really sorry,” ultimately leading to her withdrawal.
Waiting for โtransport, Cartwright lamented, “I knew I โwas going to be first. so embarrassing.”
Cartwright was one of several Bravo personalities participating in the show, alongside The Real Housewives ofโข New Jersey star Teresa giudice, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Eva Marcille, and Next โฃGen NYC star Gia Giudice. Other contestants include Jussie Smollett, Chanel iman, jessie James Decker,โ and Sister Wives‘ Kody Brown.
