In the sixth episode of the toughest reality series in Finnish television history, the content and physical condition of celebrities are really tested.
– The special forces operator must be able to move on foot for tens of kilometers. Infiltration of the target is usually done in a heavy strain, the head trainer Janne Lehtonen says.
The marching condition of the candidates is tested over a distance of 15 kilometers, which must be completed in three hours. After the first kilometer, the march is changed to running.
Many have dill in their backpack, which are penalties for a previous mission. Ex-boxer Amin Asikainen has the most extra weight in his backpack, about nine kilos.

Amanda Harkimo and Viivi Altonen lag behind the group. Elias Kaskinen will also be left behind for the rest of the trip.
– Toi is almost giving up when you walk, trainer Matias Petäistö shouts at Altosen.
The heavy march culminates in a swamp where the candidates have to fight as teams for the tire.
Two candidates on their way home
After the swamp fight, the trainers agree that it is time for Asikainen to go home because he has been unable to take instructions.
– I don’t see it in the group, nor in the special forces course, says the head trainer Lehtonen.
Instructors say non-compliance with instructions and regulations in special forces can even be life-threatening.

However, the ex-boxer is not the only one who misses the game. At the end of the day, also a former top skier Sami Jauhojärvi drops the bomb on his fellow students.
– I’m going home now. I have twice had to exceed my personal value limit for hitting or behaving aggressively towards another.
Lake Jauhojärvi bases its decision on the fact that it cannot teach its children that violence is not the answer if he or she behaves the opposite.
Unlike other starters, Jauhojärvi leaves with hugs and clear applause.
– Thank you for attending. Great appreciation as an athlete, head coach Lehtonen says to Jauhojärvi.
– Yes, I know you’re not really that dick. It is part of the training, Jauhojärvi says before leaving.
