Welcome to ULTIMATE HELL
28 new recruits board the bus to hell, hoping to survive the gruelling week-long challenge designed by Ireland’s elite Army Ranger unit
The biggest, baddest, maddest series yet… RTé’s Ultimate Hell Week is back with a new batch of recruits preparing to take on the Hell Week challenge.
The 28 fresh civilian recruits board the bus to hell, each and every one of them believing they have what it takes to come through the Hell Week course, but when the bus is suddenly ambushed by the DS (instructors) it doesn’t take long for the doubts to creep in. The intense welcome gets even tougher as the DS decide unarmed combat is the perfect way for the recruits to properly introduce themselves to one another. Barely two hours into Hell and its fight or flight time.
To date three groups of civilians have attempted to pass the world’s most gruelling reality TV show. With a failure rate upwards of 90%, only the toughest candidates will last the pace.
Surviving on two to three hours of sleep a night, they will have to overcome cold-water events, height tests and claustrophobic challenges as well as various trials of strength, stamina and determination.
The recruits, some of Ireland’s fittest civilians, all have one thing in common, each of them believes they have what it takes to pass the course.
