Last month, Ryan Sutter worried fans when he started sharing cryptic posts about missing
his wife of 20 years – The Bachelorette #1 Trista Sutter – who was at a place in life where she is searching a bit
. At the time, the 51-year-old physical therapist joked that her secret could be anything from a nervous breakdown, trial separation, midlife crisis, death, or divorce
but as it turns out, she’s been hard at work making her return to reality TV.
Trista has been out of town competing on the third season of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, which is expected to air sometime in the fall, according to TMZ. The outlet also claimed that The Bachelorette #6 Ali Manno will also take part in the 10-day unscripted series featuring 16 household names attempting to complete a course based on a highly-classified special forces training program.
Sutter (born Rehn) explained on May 25:
An opportunity for perspective and personal growth presented itself and with the unconditional support of my family and friends, I chose myself and betterment, knowing that my stay-at-home-mom job and my kids end-of-the-school-year needs were in the best, most capable hands
. Last month, Ryan Sutter worried fans when he started sharing cryptic posts about ‘missing’ his wife of 20 years – The Bachelorette #1 Trista Sutter – who was ‘at a place in life where she is searching a bit’ (pictured May 25).
My stoic husband who usually chooses privacy over posting decided to share his love for me in messages that would find me in my travels. We look at Instagram like a digital diary.
She noted that while the world doesn’t usually pay much attention, this time, his posts drew significant media attention. According to Trista, This time, he couldn’t say anything right and just about every news outlet picked up his ‘cryptic/confusing/attention-seeking/dramatic’ pictures and captions. To me, they gave me exactly what my words of affirmation love language needed to get me through some serious self-doubt and fear… and that’s all that matters

The Challenger Team
The bootcamp-style reality competition is led by former US Recon Marine Rudy Reyes. It is the American adaptation of the British reality series SAS: Who Dares Wins. In season two, Olympic speed skater Erin Jackson joined Bachelor alums Nick Viall and Tyler Cameron as finalists who successfully completed the course in New Zealand.
Cameron told Deadline last November that Special Forces was my favorite project I’ve ever done
despite being the hardest physical challenge he had undertaken. He added that his experience on The Bachelorette helped prepare him mentally for the rigors of Special Forces.
The Jordan-set first season was won by retired soccer player Carli Lloyd and The Bachelorette #15 Hannah Brown.
Tougher Environment
Cameron added,I think [The Bachelorette] really prepares you mentally for a lot. There’s a lot of ups and downs with that fan base; they don’t hold back
, elaborating on the mental challenges posed by Special Forces. Joining him was fellow contestant Nick Viall who noted, The conditions were harsh, especially being cold. It felt like torture…just trying to get through each interrogation without succumbing to the freezing temps
.
The demanding nature of the show saw participants facing several extreme challenges such as starvation and sleep deprivation which wreaked havoc on their bodies.
Athletic Advantages?
Sutter’s slight athletic edge stems from being a former Miami Heat Dancer. Yet, this didn’t help her when she became the first contestant eliminated off the inaugural season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars back in 2005. However, despite these hurdles, fans are eager to tune into her journey in this new reality show era.
