Gia Giudice is learning the hard way that sometimes silence can be golden, especially when you’re wandering across the desert on national television.
In a clip from Thursday’s all-new episode of “Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test” — shared exclusively with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” — the 24-year-old Bravo star and influencer faces one of her scariest challenges yet. It involves walking a tightrope across a steep valley in the scorching Moroccan heat.
But what starts out as a nerve-wracking mission quickly turns tense when crew members Mark “Billy” Billingham and Jason “DS Foxy” Fox grow impatient with Judith’s hesitation.
As Judith struggles to maintain her balance high above the ground, Billingham’s voice cuts through the chaos with firm urgency.
“More speed! This is where we need momentum now,” he barks in the clip. “It’s going to hurt to have your arms above your head. Let’s move, come on! It’s taking too long. Don’t let your team down. You’re beyond tired. Come on!…Move, move! Your team is counting on you.”
When her daughter from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” (her mother is Teresa Giudice, a fellow “Special Forces” contestant who left the show early), protested that “there’s a rope on her helmet,” Billingham didn’t hesitate to retort, “I’m the one who yells at you. Shut up, you son of a bitch!”
The verbal criticism doesn’t end there. Jason “DS Foxy” Fox also joins them and warns Judith to brace herself. “I don’t care where it is. It’s shitty for no reason,” he says. “Please get over it now.”
Judith tries to defend herself by saying, “It’s over,” but Billingham fights back with an expletive-laced command, “Shut up! I’m over.”
Page Six For the latest on reality TV…
This intense exchange captures the brutal, serious nature of “Special Forces,” where celebrity recruits are stripped of their comfort, control, and ego while enduring grueling military-style challenges designed to test their mental and physical limits.
For Judith, who is used to Bravo plays rather than battlefield situations, the experience proved to be as emotional as it was physical punishment. Earlier this season, the “Next Generation New York City” star suffered a panic attack and broke down in tears inside a narrow desert tunnel, confessing that he was overwhelmed by the intensity of the course.
Yet, despite harsh treatment from the directorial staff, the young reality star continues to complete each mission, determined to prove her resilience.
“Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test” airs Thursdays at 9pm ET on FOX.
