The Seven Network today announced the 17 celebrities set to take on one of the toughest tests of their lives in SAS Australia:
Ali Oetjen – Bachelorette
Arabella Del Busso – Glamour Model
Candice Warner – Ironwoman
Eden Dally – Reality Star
Erin McNaught – Miss Universe Australia
Firass Dirani – Actor
Jackson Warne – Poker Player
James Magnussen – World Champion Swimmer
Merrick Watts – Comedian
Mitchell Johnson – Cricket Legend
Molly Taylor – Rally Car Champion
Nick Cummins – Rugby Union Player
Roxy Jacenko – PR Queen
Sabrina Frederick – AFLW Star
Schapelle Corby – Former Bali Inmate
Shannan Ponton – Fitness Professional
Shayna Jack – Swimming Gold Medallist
These famous and infamous Australians have volunteered for the Special Forces selection course, a brutal and unforgiving process that will physically and mentally break down the recruits in a test of their true character.
Putting them through the gruelling course is an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers, who will make no allowances for the star recruits’ celebrity status, age or gender.
SAS Australia is not a game. There is no winner; there is no prize. Most recruits will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who has what it takes to tough it out to the end?
The series is produced by Screentime, a Banijay Group company, based on a Minnow Films format, for the Seven Network.
Punters Prediction.
This will drop like a stone. This is not the show the TV watching public needs right now.
It’s too grim, bleak and with endurance as a central theme……nah.
Ask any mother of 3 kids under the age 5 who’s been in the Victorian lockdown about endurance.
This show will be the nail in the coffin of a shocking year of programming for 7. Plate of Origin was the most tone deaf piece of Australian TV in years.
