SO YOU THINK YOU’RE TOUGH? Do you have what it takes to complete fifteen repetitions of eight count body builders, twenty repetitions of four count push ups, twenty five repetitions of leg lifts, followed by a five mile run wearing a full combat load, all while carrying a pack weighing nearly one hundred pounds on a ninety degree day? Our twenty contestants – ten male and ten female, with ages ranging from twenty to thirty from the United States - on season one of SO YOU THINK YOU’RE TOUGH all think they have what it takes to become a United States Marine. They all have previously been screened and passed the preliminary round, in which they were able to faultlessly complete eight pull ups and seventy five crunches in two minutes, as well as run one and a half miles in twelve minutes. Throughout the rest of the season follow our contestants as the competition escalates, drama unfolds, contenders are acquitted, and the prizes increase. Each week will bring forth new team and individual challenges, as well as personal fitness goals, which must be met – or the shame and humiliation or being dismissed in front of national television will be befall upon the entrant, as well as losing the opportunity of winning the grand prize of one million American dollars. Watch as the contestants move forward past these challenges, by taking the bull by the horns. Determination, skill, and physical ability will be brought into a new perspective for this season’s contestants, as they will be pushed beyond their limits – both mentally and physically. Join our host Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey, a Retired Marine, Former Drill Instructor, as well as a notorious actor from the movie Full Metal Jacket, as season one unfolds. There is no telling how far the human body can be pushed. Everyone’s limit is different; the will to strive forward will be the ultimate sacrifice to determine who will conquer this reformatory. Be sure to tune in to AFN, American Forces Network, at seven six central, to see if you’re tough enough.
