SAS - Who Dares Wins

I watch this programme in disbelief that anyone would choose to put themselves through this.... I just don't get it. I realise that people (not me) get a great deal of satisfaction from pushing themselves to their limits and seeing what they can achieve but really - why bother?!

I've watched every series so far. It's great to see more women have stopped in than the men.

My husband works in a similar role but you wouldn't know to look at him.

I'm a big fan of Ant and Foxy. Sign em up for Strictly!

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 29/01/2019 20:17

Well because it’s something that most people can’t actually do?

I could do most of it but not the heights. That one where the knob let him crash into the rocks....

I didn’t understand the one who couldn’t shit in front of women for religious reasons but was ok with the idea of the SAS whoactually have to shoot people.

I love this show, I always like to see the mental strength people display, as well as the physical. I wouldn't last the first run though! Blush

And yes, GrimDamnFanjo- Foxy on strictly, preferably in a very open shirt, I would DEFINITELY watch!! Is it bad that I want him on a calendar? Blush

I love this! First series I have ever seen. I reckon a woman will win as they've made such a big deal of women being allowed.

Feel sorry for the fireman guy. I don't think the lawyer let the other guy drop onto the rocks on purpose, he just made a mistake?

Also was baffled about the water/swimming challenge as it looked like a really hot day but then they were shivering relentlessly, the water must have been ice cold!

louise5754 · 01/02/2019 19:22

It was ice cold. They said that before they got in x

At last I’ve found a thread on this! I have found this really interesting, especially watching the women holding up to the rigorous training.

nowifi · 06/02/2019 21:10

Makes sense then Louise !

Who do you think will win? I think the midwife has a good chance as she seems really strong, or the fireman, can't remember any of their names!

Shenanagins · 06/02/2019 21:21

From memory, from previous series, there isn’t one overall winner, if they all make the grade then they “win.”

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 08/02/2019 20:32

It's a last man standing sort of thing. If you make it to the end, the DS then decide whether or not you officially pass. Everyone who has completed so far has passed, lthough only one guy finished Season 2 in the jungle.

nowifi · 08/02/2019 21:12

Oh I see, might have to watch the previous seasons!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 09/02/2019 08:59

They're all on all4. There's only about 5 eps per season so you'll get through them quite fast. They stand up to a rewatch as well, because you notice more things about contestants or keep an eye out for people. Plus I like to look at the DS guys!

CarolDanvers · 09/02/2019 09:10

I'd do it. I used to be in the army though so probably have a higher tolerance than most for discomfort as long as it leads to achievement.

CarolDanvers · 09/02/2019 09:13

Ant Middleton is beyond hot too. I ❤️ him. Foxy was on a podcast with Jamie Laing a couple of weeks ago. That's worth a listen, was very funny.

Chimchar · 09/02/2019 09:22

It makes me cry every week.... the mental strength of the people is incredible. I love it!

Ifailed · 09/02/2019 09:26

I reckon a woman will win as they've made such a big deal of women being allowed.

Since they've been allowed to take it, no woman has passed the SAS selection process. Maybe because it's designed to play to men's strengths, rather than women's?

Elephantina · 09/02/2019 09:28

Me and DH love it, although we can't take Ant seriously because he uses a really over dramatic tone when stating the obvious. Things like, "When you fall into ice cold water!!!! You're at great risk!!!! Of getting cold and wet!!!!!! And you might DIE!!!!!"

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 09/02/2019 18:47

Ah yes... he sounds like he's spent too long watching Super Nanny!

expatmigrant · 09/02/2019 20:11

DH and I watch it. Really good to see how well the women are doing. I'm a little too old now but would like to think that I would have been fit enough 15 years ago...however I have a thing about cold water so could never have jumped in to that freezing water. DH reading Foxy's book at the mo and tells me it is quite good.

nowifi · 09/02/2019 22:08

I could never do it either, I would be a nervous wreck!

humblesims · 10/02/2019 10:05

When you fall into ice cold water!!!! You're at great risk!!!! Of getting cold and wet!!!!!! And you might DIE

straight out of the school of Bear Grylls.

iklboo · 10/02/2019 13:07

I had rather a filthy dream about Ant Middleton the other night Blush

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 10/02/2019 21:46

I've had one about Foxy Blush.

Always interesting who cracks in the interrogation phase and who shines. Not surprised Louise went. She's undoubtedly tough and determined but a bit too cocky

nowifi · 10/02/2019 21:54

I think I had one about Ollie haha!
