Tyler Cameron’s time on The Bachelorette wasn’t exactly a stroll in the park — but he’d rather search for love than find himself on every other season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

“Both [displays are] psychological war,” Cameron, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, November 27, ahead of the season 2 finale. “But I'd for sure say Special Forces is more challenging. I am getting to visit nice exotic puts on The Bachelor and do all that stuff. I am going to exotic miserable puts with Special Forces.”

Cameron joined season 2 of Special Forces, which premiered in September, alongside other reality stars like Bachelor’s Nick Viall, Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval and JoJo Siwa. The Fox reality display follows a gaggle of celebrities to a faraway location where they are pressured to accomplish training workouts led by means of special forces operatives. While season 1 took place in Jordan, season 2 noticed the recruits combating the harsh iciness months in New Zealand’s mountains where they faced rough terrain, freezing temperatures and more.

For season 2’s ultimate direction, Cameron — in conjunction with Siwa, 20, Sandoval, 41, Viall, 43, and Olympic gold medalist Erin Jackson— have been  “captured” and forced to run during the night time earlier than enduring a resistant interrogation procedure intended to push them to their psychological limits. After a grueling 8 days, Cameron discovered he had handed the direction.

“I used to be on the edge the entire time,” he advised Us of the overall challenge. “I was like, I don’t understand how I will keep going further. I believe like they’re going to kill me on this sense. I’m beyond freezing. I feel like I’m experiencing hypothermia. I’ve by no means had it prior to, [but] I was jackhammering, shivering.”

Tyler had personal causes for short of to achieve success right through his time on Special Forces. His brother, Austin Cameron, is an infantry officer in the U.S. Army. Tyler advised Us that his sibling used to be “super extremely joyful” to hear he had handed — and was extremely impressed with how “good” the Bachelorette alum fared.

“He’s like, ‘It scares me how just right you're at this. Probably even better than I am,’” Tyler recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Austin, you got to know, this is me figuring out that there’s in fact no gun on the end of this that’s going to be capturing me sooner or later. Your mind and your mentality and bravery are so much more advanced than mine. I might by no means put myself in those positions, however you’re prepared to and make that sacrifice.”

Tyler when put next his time on Special Forces to that of being in a “online game,” noting that what his brother does is “actual lifestyles.”

“But to hear him say that is like, ‘Damn, I did it in his eyes,’” he continued. “That’s something. I wanted to get: his recognize. … So that’s one thing that kind of saved me pushing via.”

While Special Forces makes it transparent that no items or rewards are given out for participating on the show, Cameron joked that he was hoping there was once a “little one thing extra” to passing the path. “Give me a trophy. You know what I imply?” he quipped. “I used to be like, ‘I actually passed?’ I was so undecided. And I used to be so cold, my thoughts was just shot.”

Cameron added that it took him “a minute” to check in the accompaniment, which is why viewers most probably noticed “no emotion” on his face all the way through the season 2 finale.

“I’m now not even in my very own body anymore,” he mentioned. “I’m simply kind of looked at, just hoping to continue to exist. It isn’t till they come up and provides us a hug or no matter, that I’m like, ‘Oh wait, I if truth be told handed and did this factor.’ And then I believe the entire sense of joy and relief comes. I were given so much more power after that.”

While the recruits input Special Forces as individuals, they’re continuously faced with group duties and find themselves turning to each other for energy right through the method. Tyler particularly was once spotted by way of his fellow castmates as a pacesetter and massive team player — something the reality big name mentioned he realized to be early on in life.

“It is nearly like you’re just pulling for people to get previous points that we’ve never been to ahead of,” he explained to Us. “And I feel when you go through one thing like we’ve gone thru, it brings you together and builds a bond. That’s something I like about soccer. We’d be up at 5:30 within the morning doing loopy training, workout routines, all that stuff. It created a bond as a result of we were looking to do one thing that’s larger than us.”

While Tyler used to be ready to achieve the onerous terrain of New Zealand, trying his hand at another spherical at discovering love on TV reputedly nonetheless isn’t within the playing cards. The type, who was once runner-up during Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette, published in August 2021 that he was asked to soak up the mantle as the next Bachelor however ultimately declined.
