I imagine the guys in the show told the Fox crew this, but got overruled. Also, using Special Forces in the title isn't accurate because it is more likely going to be like Ranger School or Ranger Assessment (for the Regiment) than the Q-Course. And I doubt if they are going to do anything not a physical challenge like get a bunch of indigs to win their civil war.

The drinking your own urine thing is stupid and doesn't work.
According to Brown, it is actually not completely unsafe to drink your own urine, as it is mostly water, sodium, and potassium, but that you can only do so once, maybe twice, before your urine becomes poisonous.
“You could wake up tomorrow, and drink your pee, and you’d be fine,” said Brown. “You could probably drink your next pee, too. After that, you’re starting to drink pee that has gone through your system multiple times, and that is going to cause problems. That is what happened to Mr. Grylls.”

4 of 16 contestants were booted in the first episode. Dr. Drew Pinski was one.
Celebrities forge bonds on ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’
In last week’s premiere, “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” unveiled a slew of challenges that pushed the show’s new “recruits” to their limits.
Four of the 16 celebrity participants were eliminated, including TV host and celebrity addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinski. He joined singer Montell Jordan and reality star Kate Gosselin, who were medically eliminated from the show. Celebrity chef Tyler Florence left voluntarily.
“I got sicker than crap in like an hour,” Pinski told Military Times. “I just went completely down. It caught me so off guard. They took me to the hospital, I was in the ICU a few hours later, and I was going in and out, I was not there. I’m furious about that.”
Despite the short tenure on the new FOX reality show, which forces recruits to complete challenges out of the Special Forces selection process playbook, the trials the celebrities faced in the Jordanian desert made a family of them all, Pinsky said.
“No matter how long you spent in the camp, we were all equally bonded,” he added. “It’s very strange, but we’re all close friends now. It was that camaraderie, that closeness, that connection to each other that made it tolerable. ... We were sort of in it together.”
During the episode, participants were ordered to run two miles in the Wadi Rum Desert and jump out of a helicopter into the sea, among other tasks that tested mental fortitude and physical strength.
“It could traumatize you really easily,” Pinski said. “You do a lot of psychological screening before you go in and a lot of psychological follow up. ... I could see where, if somebody were traumatized, watching the show could be a little problematic.”
Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy, who is still in the game, said parts of the show were surprisingly difficult despite making a career as a professional athlete.
