JoJo Siwa and Tyler Cameron didn’t hold anything back while competing on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.”
In an exclusive new interview with Pvnew, the fan-favorite contestants reflected on their most viral moments from Season 2 of the hit Fox series.
Siwa and Cameron – along with 12 other celebrity “recruits” including Nick Viall, Tara Reid, Tom Sandoval, Savannah Chrisley and Jack Osbourne – were sent to New Zealand to undergo grueling challenges based on the actual Special Forces selection process.
One of the toughest tests required the stars to race against each other in teams and carry 220-pound boats through terrain and water, all while listening to demands from Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Jovon “Q” Quarles.
Cameron, 30, served as one of the MVPs that day. However, the challenge was so extreme that the “Bachelorette” alum started projectile vomiting on camera as soon as it wrapped.
“Oh, everyone loved it! And I honestly loved it,” the reality star confessed, telling us he went back to the rest of cast “bragging” about getting so much “good” material.
“I was like, ‘This is gonna be hilarious!’ I mean, they [the DS agents] had me standing upright, projectile puking. I was like, ‘Y’all are gonna crack up when you see this one.’”
Despite the not-so-glamorous moment making it to air for the world to see, the Bachelor Nation heartthrob assured us that he wasn’t at all embarrassed by it – or any of his other “vulnerable” moments caught on camera.
“As a guy, I always grew up like, ‘Hide your feelings, hide that,’ you know what I mean? So being vulnerable is something I’ve really learned in the last few years,” he explained, adding that he thinks it’s “important” for people to share what they’re going through.
“When you show what you’re going through … [people] can relate to you. They can hear your story. They can find comfort,” he continued.
“I’ve gotten so many messages [from fans] like, ‘I’m going through this,’ and I reach out and even talk back to some of them. I think it’s one of the most special things about this show.”
Meanwhile, in another physically draining challenge, Siwa, 20, helped carry her team – literally – by volunteering to prop Sandoval, 41, over her shoulders after Viall, 43, lost the strength to do it.
The viral moment received plenty of praise from fans online, who wrote things like, “JoJo carrying Tom Sandoval could be THE greatest moment of reality tv thus far,” “She’s a badass!!” and “Shes amazing. I have new respect for her
