SAS: Who Dares Wins

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.

If it makes no difference whether you're a man or a woman, why do they keep going on about it? In fact, it clearly does matter; they can say what they like about equal treatment but, having included women, they obviously don't want to see them all tank. They are noticeably more supportive with the women contestants - I mean, 'recruits' - and more likely to give them a second chance. Women blatantly cheat on the exercises and get away with it. A guy goes without having noticeably failed; a woman stays on although they've said in so many words that she can't do it, or despite being clearly a basket case. The Swedish lady is a totally pointless gimmick - I suppose they felt they also needed a woman on the 'authority' side, but for some reason didn't want to put her in the trainers' team.

It's faintly depressing that now you apparently *cannot* have a series focusing solely on men, and - because it affects the judging - it somewhat compromises the integrity of the show. It was always a little bit iffy, not least because as far as I can make out none of them have actually been in the SAS!

Update 2020: I see that they have now abandoned the boxing challenge, obviously because women can't fight men (some have taken an unpleasant beating in previous series). The obvious thing might have been to have men fight men and women fight women, but that wouldn't have been woke enough would it? So instead the women gang up on the men, who are forbidden by the rules from fighting back. As unintentional, painfully ironic metaphors go, that would take some beating...

This show is one of the best, if not the best, shows to watch. I just absolutely love it. I was delighted to see that season 4 had just aired on tv. I have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd but can't seem to find season 3 anywhere, not on dvd , and not even online. I have binge watched all the seasons and find myself rewatching them again some 6 months later. I am over the moon that season 4 is here and I really hope that they continue to make the show. Being from the army I find myself captivated by the tests and training that the candidates are put through each season. It just shows how tough you have to be mentally and physically to join the elite Special Forces. Thanks to Ant Middleton and everybody involved for making such a great show.

Bring back Anth, Rudy is a terrible replacement. Anth was the real deal, Rudy looks more like a Chippendale, who tries too hard to come across as tough, and fails. All hair flicks, and hair dye.

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..
