Well it has some entertainment value, but it is definitely fake. I verified the information provided by bjoernelton's review. Thor Knai is an actor and per his IMDB profile spent a year of mandatory army service and there's no mention of him ever being in the FSK.The only episode I watched was Rangers vs. RAF and I predicted almost all the plot points before they occurred: 1). Team that wins advantage doesn't win the next round even with said advantage. 2). The contractors are clearly the patsy's. Maybe they'll advance to the finals sometime, but I'm not watching more episodes. 3). USA! USA! USA! Not surprised they win.On the highly suspicious side- killing two targets with one shot. Yeah, I get the insinuation is that the explosion did it. Tell me, what kind of half assed "challenge" makes that possible? They show off their bruises after the close combat challenge. Yeah. Like what would happen if someone got pegged in the neck. Or can you say "Brandon Lee?" A bulletproof shirt underneath the clothing is in order and it sure looks like a scripted event.I liked what I read when I googled 'Ultimate Soldier Challege fake'. One comment said, "Yes, these days everything on History Channel is fake".1 Star for being the lowest you can rate. One star for not being the worst "reality" show ever. 2 stars total.

OK so i saw the green berets vs Norwegian FJK. i just want to say from the start. The Norwegians are paid actors You will even be able to find both of them here on IMDb as actors. I don't even believe they ever were in any military genre at all. I would be surprised if they had any training other than acting at all.Also all Norwegian SF personnel has hidden identity's so they would not even be allowed to attend even if their face's were blurred and names were changedSo i would just say that this is one of the worst military shows iv'e ever seen. Using paid actors to pretend to be something as important as this just to make someone else shine is awful. I would not even mind if the Norwegians lost if they were real, but this. Shame on you
