Back in the square after a sleepless final stretch of training, Candace Cameron Bure looked around for her fellow recruits and found only two. The Full House star had no idea the course was over, or that she had just passed one of reality TV’s most punishing tests.
During the Nov. 12 finale of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Cameron Bure, 50, became one of three celebrities to pass Season 5, alongside Alexia Umansky and Collin Gosselin. Through tears, she dedicated the moment to a wider audience. “This one’s for all the women out there,” she said, adding, “No matter what challenges you have, physically you can do it.”
The result came after a pretty brutal season. Fifteen celebrities started the course in the Malaysian jungle, and seven reached the finale. The last two days brought a grueling jungle trek followed by a night of torture and relentless “interrogation”. At one point, the remaining recruits were held in cages filling with water as the questioning continued. Cameron Bure shared a cover story with David Charvet, Alycia Baumgardner and Gosselin, posing as actors researching roles in an upcoming action movie. Charvet failed, Baumgardner quit, and Matt Barnes and Hannah Stocking were also cut.
Before announcing her result, a staff sergeant recalled the fear he saw on the first day. “Day one I looked into your eyes,” he told her, saying her face seemed to say she was in the wrong place. He then credited the grit and determination she showed by the end. Cameron Bure told TV Insider that she leaned on her years of acting experience during the interrogation phase and pushed through a stomach flu along the way.
Even after hearing the verdict, she seemed like she wasn’t expecting to hear it. “I was honestly shocked when I passed,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that the other people weren’t there.” She added that she briefly thought the rest of the group had simply been separated from her.
That emotional finish was similar to what she said before the season premiered. In a September interview, Cameron Bure explained that she went in hoping to inspire other women her age, and admitted she came close to quitting. During the finale, she said her hope was that her strength would be to endure, and that she looks to her faith to help her through the hardest moments.
Viewers have watched Cameron Bure grow up on screen since 1987, when she began playing D.J. Tanner on Full House at age 11. Nearly four decades later, she completed the Special Forces course at 50 and walked away with delivering a clear message: women her age can still do hard things.
