NEW ZEALAND, OCEANIA: When it comes to reality competition shows, competitors are competing not just for bragging rights, but also for a big prize.

While the prize is usually a huge sum of money, 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' is a unique reality show.

These contestants compete on the show for no rewards and receive no special treatment, glam squad or indoor plumbing.

That's correct; the winner or potential winners of the challenge will not be paid at the end of the show. As a result, the celebrity's only "prize" is bragging rights.

Furthermore, unlike other competition programs, candidates may only quit if they are medically tapped (an injury prohibits them from continuing), choose to leave on their own initiative or are forced to leave by the Directing Staff (DS).

The FOX show 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test,' which sends a group of celebrities to the desert for very grueling military training, will return for Season 2 in October.

MLB veteran Mike Piazza, soccer star Carli Lloyd, NBA veteran Dwight Howard, Olympic stars Gus Kenworthy and Nastia Liukin, and NFL veteran Danny Amendola teamed up with media personalities such as 'Bachelorette' star Hannah Brown and Spice Girls singer Mel B in Season 1.

This season, the network says the new group of 14 celebrities flew to New Zealand to battle the elements in colder weather.
