SAS: Wer wagt, gewinnt

What an epic phrase from an epic leader to summarize what this whole journey has been about. All that suffering the recruits had to endure only to get to that final moment of recognition from the "coaches" that they stopped treating them like recruits and recognize them as peers, wonderful moment to end the season. It is an easy show to watch there are only 5 episodes full of different characters and personalities. At first you think that all those trials are just madness but when the "coaches"start talking about their experiences you start to see there is a reason to that madness. In my opinion it is an awesome reality show there's nothing that compares to it, it is a must watch.

What a fascinating world we have been privileged to take a glance into. So interesting how tough the Staff are and their reasoning for each and everything they do. All carefully thought out, tried and tested methods in what can only be imagined as the toughest environments known to man. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Be mindful if you feel critical towards the recruits. This does not look easy even from the safety of a couch.

What happened? The first seasons were great.. but things have taken a massive slide. Season 6 is more like school sports day with psychological support groups. There is nothing there!

3 absailing/dropping type challenges.. Jumping across a 3.5 foot gap in the cliffs (with ropes). Being picked up by a boat by grabbing a hoop. Attacking a man in full padded armour who doesn't fight back. Being stuck in a dark cave (with a film crew about).. If this is what is expected of the SAS these days then my god, standards have fallen. What a farce! Even the instructors have given up the act, constantly patting people on the shoulder and telling them what a wonderful job they've done for not bursting in to tears when they're asked to absail down a cliff. Christ.

Lets face it. Channel 4 have ruined this show. They made the majority of challenges psychological rather than physical because they REALLLLLLY want female/lgbt winners. The show no longer deserves it's name. Nothing here is serious or reflects real SF training. The staff should reject any season 7 because they're becoming a disgrace and harming the reputation of SF with this rubbish.

Makes you question your own worthiness. such a great watch, inspiring too! They are taken into the jungle, so if you thought the last season was tough enough, now they have to survive constant barrages of training and fear tactics from the former elite SAS staff, who are mesmerizing, themselves, to watch. So many people with so many backgrounds and unexpected dropouts and unexpected strong candidates make you question what you think you know. Forget reality shows, forget game shows, forget settling for average squabbling hissy fits and get down to brass tax with the SAS team on whether you are a balanced human and start questioning your own flaws! ENJOY!

Erm...the worlds gone soft...you can't say or do anything...you're not allowed to be aggressive.

This isn't just a great series...putting 'everyday' people through SAS selection...it's a reminder about how it was before this ridiculous PC rubbish came along...

If a black man can't lay in the sea for 10m - he gets shouted at...not because he is black...because he can't bloody lay in the sea!!! And if he can't, in the field..his mates could get their heads cut off on VHS...

Only idiots, flakes, quitters are roasted...not because they're girls, or ugly, or fat, or asian.. they're just rubbish.

I like the mental side of it...it's 75% mental...but they HAVE to break you....they need to see how you react when you're bottom is against the wall!! Being on tour is not a holiday...

Superb! I really like it for many reasons..
