"You don't know how bad it is, the bad things that you have to do, you just don't know the reality of it," he continued.
"But it was incredible. Absolutely incredible. I had one of the best experiences I think I've had in my life."
In this eight-episode season, Ovie and his teammates will get a taste of a military-adjacent training in New Zealand, where they'll be exposed to constant cold and wet in a challenging landscape.
