SAS Australia

Wow that was the best season yet 4 , now Ant has moved to Aussie from the uk version I can definitely see why he was frustrated with the Uk edition. From the out set it was full on and some of the tasks he would have never been allowed to do in the UK week done Ant Middleton awesome , just wish they didn't bleep out the swearing ,sounds like a heart monitor beeping so often.

Finally some new tests and tasks were added!

We have new Staff-members, including an American Seal.

We seem to be in Tasmania, although not entirely sure of that yet.

However, the obviously special treatment granted to 2 female competitors by all of Staff but Ant especially, was annoying.

Episode one Ant berrates all competitors who fails tasks, just like normal considering it trying to replicate army-like conditions.

Except two of the females who seem to struggle a bit more than the rest, they get a cushioned treatment with lift-you-ups and pep-talks.

They get soft starts, less risk (fire and other things) in the challenges and afterwards when they failed they get praise and a complete lack of pressure on what went wrong.

This continues to extreme levels in episode three.

Several competitors fail to report intel during a test, they get scolded for it all of them apart from the 2 with special-status for unknown reasons.

There isn't anything wrong with the treatment per say, if you would allow all competitors the same.

The show hopefully isn't about everyone taking part be granted a participation-medal?

In my opinion, this is honestly one of the best shows on Australian TV, & it has some valuable lessons. It might not be for everyone, but it's very entertaining, & Ant, Billy, Foxy & Ollie do an awesome job.

Take or leave it.

This show is an obvious spin off of the regular SAS Who Dares Wins series. SAS Australia is a complete joke. The regular series is brilliant but this spin off and the Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins series are utterly a waste of time as you will just get angry watching the show. How do these celebrities think that they can pass a real SAS course when they can't run, carry packs, have mental or psychological problems or turn off their egos? The SAS selection course is extremely difficult to pass even for highly trained, experienced military personnel. Only 4 or 5 on average out of about 100 to 200 military personnel pass the course. I only watched the first 3 episodes of this show before I had to stop watching it. They need to stop calling this a SAS Course if celebrities who clearly are not fit enough continue to pass the course. Please change the name to Military Bootcamp or something else as these people passing the tv course clearly would not stand a chance to pass the real SAS course. This show has really gone downhill and needs to get back on track. Thank you

They're just clipping the ticket now for $. It's all a bit predictable and they have made it less interesting rather than mixing it up with some new elements to keep an audience engaged. They have taken out so many of the really interesting aspects that made the earlier versions so exciting to watch.
