New this season, some recruits will arrive in pairs consisting of spouses and family members, but will compete individually. All recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country's expansive desert terrain, including a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a plane shell dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged underwater and must escape, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between buildings 50 ft above the urban streets, and more.
In this experiment, there are no votes and no eliminations – just survival.
The training exercises are led by Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox and Jovon 'Q' Quarles, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives.
Special Forces: World's Toughest Test is produced by Minnow Films. Becky Clarke, Liam Humphreys and Dave Sutton serve as executive producers.

‘Matisse in Morocco' Review: The Light in Tangier
When Henri Matisse set off, together with his wife Amélie, for Morocco in 1912, he was 42 years old. He had taken up painting when he was about 20 as a bored law student recovering from a bout of appendicitis, and something of the convalescent's heightened delight in life—the sudden luxuriance of sunlight and warmth and bodily soundness—seems to have stayed with him always. Gradually he came to terms with an instinctive aversion, frankly expressed in letters and other writings, to the very existence of darkness, to leaden skies, dingy colors and muddy palettes. From such gloom the land of Morocco might prove the final liberation. In 'Matisse in Morocco: A Journey of Light and Color,' Jeff Koehler gives us a detailed account of the artist's seven months in Tangier. Matisse's first sojourn lasted from January to April. He returned to the city again in October of that year, this time without Amélie, who would join him later, and left in February of 1913. Morocco was in the midst of losing its already fraying independence to the colonial armies of France and Spain, but the tense and intermittently violent political situation attracted no notice from Matisse. His only reason for being in this sunlit, picturesque place, Mr. Koehler emphasizes, was to devise an entirely new approach to painting, free of the most elementary graphic and coloristic resources of traditional technique and able, so Matisse hoped, to entertain his most candid impulses. He was trying, in effect, to discard an entire pictorial vocabulary and replace it with a freewheeling approach that would share some cousinship with what he liked about the paintings created by children and autodidacts, about folk art and Persian miniatures and Islamic decorative textiles. Converting his corner hotel room at the Villa de France into a studio, Matisse worked furiously at his canvases (or, prey to debilitating anxiety, fretted with equal fury) day after day. In time, the work Matisse produced in Tangier would excite a near-religious devotion in many art lovers, who would come to feel—and still feel—that the artist never did anything more splendid in the line of color expression.

She digs deeper: Nomalanga Shozi explores the role of a ‘female zama zama' in BET's Black Gold
Black Gold is the new BET show that dives into the world of illegal mining. Nomalanga Shozi believes the series is unique in its portrayal of a woman zama zama. She stars alongside Dawn Thandeka King and Sello Maake kaNcube and calls it an 'incredible experience'. Nomalanga Shozi is back to shake up South Africa's screens with a new lead role. The actress, presenter and media personality has snagged the lead role of Amandla Zungu in the new BET daily drama Black Gold, diving into the high-stakes world of illegal mining. Set in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal's rich terrain, Nomalanga's character Amandla is a principled and headstrong woman forced into the world of illegal mining after a tragedy changes the trajectory of her life forever. Catching her in between shooting explosive scenes on the Black Gold set, Nomalanga takes a few minutes to chat with TRUELOVE on her new role. Exploring the world of a woman zama zama Nomalanga tells us what resonates the most with her about playing Amandla Zungu on Black Gold. 'I think a story of unbecoming to become is really what resonated with me. And I think it just came at the perfect time in my life as well, where I had gone through just enough life experience to understand how to portray all of those feelings and all of those emotions because I think also life experience is our greatest teacher. 'So yeah, I think the story of somebody going through a phase of having to shed an identity that they had attached themselves to for so long and then become something completely new, that's what resonated the most with me and excited me about it,' she shares. What portraying Amandla on Black Gold has taught Nomalanga is that the only constant in life is change, and that 'The quicker we embrace change is the quicker we learn and grow,' she remarks. Black Gold explores themes of feuding family, betrayal and lust, themes that audiences are all too familiar with from popular telenovelas. But Nomalanga believes that what sets the series apart from other local shows is its focus on a woman navigating the world of zama zamas or illegal mining. She explains, 'I think it sets itself apart in the fact that it's the first story we've ever seen or been told, or watched of the first female zama zama basically. 'How a woman could navigate that world, who she would have to be, how she would morph her way into becoming this very dangerous, scary, determined, courageous, brave person. So, I think that definitely is the one thing that sets it apart from most.' Sharing the stage with industry greats Nomalanga acts alongside industry veterans like Dawn Thandeka King, who plays her fearsome matriarch Florence Zungu, and Sello Maake kaNcube as Tom Motspe, a mining magnate caught in forbidden love and haunted by his deadly past. This powerhouse cast reflecting the theme of feuding families that Mzansi has come to love is also what distinguishes itself from other telenovelas on air. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BET Africa (@bet_africa) On sharing the stage with these acting greats, Nomalanga says, 'It has been the most incredible experience of my life, I can't even begin to describe to you. I mean, yes, the role is super challenging and obviously having such a big story is also really, really challenging just as a creative, but just having such a supportive web and network of seasoned cast and actors and actresses just to draw inspiration from or to go to for when I needed inspiration, when I need a different way to tackle a scene or handle emotion. 'All of those things to me are just such a blessing and it's not lost on me how unique this opportunity is. And the fact that it's also just a once in a lifetime, yeah, it really, really is. 'I mean, I grew up watching ubab' Sello and now I get to act alongside him and it's just so beautiful, it really, really is. It feels like I'm just learning from the best, and I'm just so grateful, man. It's such an amazing opportunity ... Can you imagine? You walk on the set and it's Archie Moroka,' she laughs.

Julia Fox says she regrets getting cosmetic surgery but still worries about 'feeling old'
Julia Fox has some regrets about going under the knife. In an interview with Allure published on Tuesday, the actor said she got cosmetic surgery in the past to appeal to men. "Now, when I see someone and I can tell they've never done anything…I wish I could go back and be that person. I was so hung up on this idea that I needed to be attractive to men so that I could survive," Fox told Allure. The actor added it was "super important" for public figures to be transparent about the work they've gotten done, adding that she started getting filler and Botox when she was around 21. She says she "probably will" get more work done in the future, although she is "not as concerned with it right now." Even though she admires the beauty of women who can age naturally, Fox still fears growing older. "That's what I think I'm the most scared of, feeling old, and there are times where I feel old…Tired, over it, disillusioned," Fox said. "When you're young and hot, it's like that's your identity. Then you're like, shit, I need to stay young and hot." Now that she's 35, Fox says she is rethinking how she wants to age. "Am I going to chase the way I used to look, or am I going to evolve and see what's on the other side? It could be something totally different, and I'm choosing to go that way. I just want to see who's there waiting for me," Fox said. "It'll definitely be uncomfortable, but I think I'm ready for it." Fox has previously said in interviews that she's had a rhinoplasty, liposuction, and dental veneers. In June, she told People that she thought it was great that female celebrities were being open about their cosmetic surgeries. "Women set the bar for each other and I feel like if you're setting an unrealistic bar [if you're not honest]. That's really great for you, but what about all the girls that are so impressionable and feeling like 'Wait, why don't I look like that and what's wrong with me?'" Fox said. "It's like, girl, none of us look like this, you know what I mean?" A representative for Fox told Business Insider that the star had no additional comment. These days, plenty of stars are coming clean about the work they've had done. Kylie Jenner sent TikTok into a frenzy in June when she shared details of her breast augmentation, including the name of her surgeon. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment after a fan asked about her implants. Ricki Lake also said she had a lower face and neck lift after losing 40 pounds. "I'm fully transparent, always have been. I don't want there to be any stigma. This is something that was bothering me," Lake said. On the other hand, some stars have spoken up about aging naturally in the public eye. "White Lotus" star Carrie Coon said that she gets typecast as older in Hollywood because she hasn't gotten Botox. "Authenticity is more evocative than any kind of engineering you might consider doing to your face or your body," Coon said. "Now, this is not the message coming from culture. As a woman who is 44, watching myself in HD is not easy, and it's not comfortable." Likewise, Alicia Silverstone said she's never had Botox, fillers, or cosmetic surgery, and credits her diet for keeping her youthful. "As I age, I'm aware that I don't look like everybody else. But I don't lose sleep over it," Silverstone said.
