Kenya Moore is jumping from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta to Fox’s Special Forces: The Ultimate Test, according to a brand new press release.
The RHOA icon will compete in the new FOX competition series alongside a slew of other celebrities including Jamie Lynn Spears and Kate Gosselin. According to a network press release, 16 celebrity recruits through some of the craziest, most intense challenges from the actual Special Forces selection process. This isn’t the first time Kenya has stepped outside of Bravo as she also competed on Season 30 of ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.
Along the way, former Special Forces operatives Rudy Reyes, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox, and Remi Adeleke will act as Directing Staff (DS) agents will coach and lead the celebrities through the gruelling challenges. Unlike other reality formats, however, there is no elimination aspect.
“Special Forces: The Ultimate Test puts celebrities you know and love through the most pure and authentic test of endurance that I have ever seen. In many ways, it is more about mental strength than physical strength,” Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment & Specials, said in a statement. “It’s an eye-opening glimpse into the most intense training in the world and gives a taste of the grit and bravery our armed forces show on a daily basis, which was a life-changing experience for these celebrities.”
