The review by TV Tonight seems to be somewhat positive. For Seven’s sake hopefully it works out for them tomorrow night after the disaster that was the past two months.

I am quite excited for this but I have no idea what it is. They say its not a game. So the concept is quite confusing. I will be watching. The first thing I have been excited to see from 7 this year.

Since they don’t get any prizes or get enlisted in the real SAS, the objective is quite vague. Although judging by some of the ‘celebrities’ they have, I’d hazard a guess that they want to use this opportunity to ‘clear their name’? The likes of Nick Cummins and Schapelle Corby fits this objective, but not sure what is so controversial about the likes of Ali, Shannan Ponton and Merrick Watts.

He did not pick a winner in The Bachelor. The shame of it.

Some of the stuff surrounding Schappelle Corby is mind blowing - appeared on Sunrise and TMS today - compared appearing on reality TV show to 9 years in a Bali prison.

Surprised that no one is talking about the show!
They really are milking out the Schapelle Corby factor.
Smart tactic going to the ad break before Nick Cummins and Sabrina Frederick have their fight.
Watched 10 mins. Seems more like and 8:30pm show. I see they are putting uncut versions on 7plus. They should run uncut on 7mate

Anything for TV entertainment aye.
I’m not watching this program for that very reason.
It’s pretty intense
Yeah it’s pretty brutal.
Though with some of the shows that we have on TV nowadays (like Married at First Sight) this show is only joining that club in its own unique way.
Episode 1
SAS Australia stormed onto screens with 17 famous and infamous Australians starting out on the Special Forces selection course, a brutal process designed to physically and mentally break even the most elite solider. There is no winner, there is no prize. 95% of soldiers fail the course. It’s not for the faint hearted. Recruits either have what it takes to pass selection, or not. No other tests asks as much, or means as much, to the few who make it through.
In tonight’s test of CHARACTER, the star recruits had to:
- Fall backwards out of a helicopter hovering eight metres above a freezing lake
- Crawl through mud and try not to look like a “demented seal”
- Hike cold, wet and exhausted carrying their 20kg military issue Bergen backpacks
- Take part in vicious rounds of hand-to-hand combat in the ultimate test of character and bravery
AFLW player Sabrina Frederick made a courageous statement, choosing Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins as her opponent in a brutal boxing bout.
Actor Firass Dirani put a target on his back after disrespecting the DS (Directing Staff) and causing his fellow recruits to be punished for his actions.
Schapelle Corby faced the first DS interrogation where she revealed years of psychosis, hallucinations and the reason she no longer eats meat.
And PR Queen Roxy Jacenko was first to VW (Voluntarily Withdraw) from the course after just six hours – a series record.
16 recruits remain: Ali Oetjen, Arabella Del Busso, Candice Warner, Eden Dally, Erin McNaught, Firass Dirani, Jackson Warne, James Magnussen, Merrick Watts, Mitchell Johnson, Molly Taylor, Nick Cummins, Sabrina Frederick, Schapelle Corby, Shannan Ponton, Shayna Jack
TOMORROW 7.30PM – EP 2 “FEAR”
A brutal game of murderball, a vicious night beasting and recruits come face to face with their darkest fears. Plus, a costly mistake lands one recruit in hot water.
Roxy Jacenko has written a long, angry post on Instagram regarding her withdrawal, rebutting trolls who left disparaging comments on her account. She revealed she was still recovering from a fractured hip and pelvis she sustained during a horse riding accident six weeks prior to filming of SAS Australia.
Also:
Well, who is the f***wit who went on a gruelling show like SAS knowing they had a fractured hip and pelvis six weeks earlier?
