SAS Australia

SAS Australia has to be one of the best the best shows Channel 7 has ever done. For that, we have to thank the cast - being Ant Middleton, Billy Billingham, Jason Fox and Matthew Ollerton. Men who are honest, transparent, and true to themselves. What you see is what you get, and without pretenses. And that, is precisely what makes this show.

Why does Australia feel we have to bombarded with the constant incessant reality trash ? If it isn't big bore, Australia's got idiots or the verbal diorrhea. It's trash garbage like SAS Australia with washed up "celebrity " nobodies . I know it's yet another copy pasted program from overseas yet come on give us some decent programming back that has some intelligence . Have no time for celebrating war criminals when the Au SAS are being investigated for war crimes in Afghanistan.

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?

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

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.
