SAS: Who Dares Wins viewers all say the same thing as show reveals stunning new location
SAS: WHO DARES WINS has shaken things up with a brand new location for this year’s series – and fans all say the same thing about it.
Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox was reunited with Rudy Reyes, Billy Billingham MBE and newest recruit Chris Oliver for the series, with 20 new recruits looking to pass the course.
Making sure the show covers all kinds of terrains to keep the recruits on their toes, this series relocated for the first time to Ninh Binh, Vietnam – known for its humidity and one of the toughest environments faced by Special Forces operatives.
Participants will endure waterfalls, treacherous jungles, rivers and lakes under pressure – not to mention mosquitoes and bugs that are all to eager to bite.
By the end of the second day, all of the recruits were sporting nasty injuries – with one even having a rash across the bum from a series of vicious bites.
The tagline isn’t “jungle hell” for nothing, after all.
In the first episode alone, which tracks the first three days, recruits were forced along a high-rise ‘trainasium’ around the trees as they were screamed at, had to carry a 15kg bag across miles of ground, carry their teammates uphill and abseil down a waterfall.
It didn’t take much for many of the cast look like they’re on the edge of quitting.
But fans are all saying the same thing about the new course and how it compares to others – that is looks absolutely horrific.
“Absolutely brutal episode of SAS Who Dares Wins,” wrote one.
“Good to see #SASWhoDaresWins in new terrain,” added a second. “Always makes me hold my stomach in and clench the old bicepsfor a couple of seconds. Rather them than me.”
“nah them wasps would have me cutting my rope,” said another.
“I’d rather watch Mrs Brown’s Boys non-stop for a month, than try this height challenge,” said a third.
“Love this…makings of a great series,” said a fourth.
SAS: Who Dares Wins has previously been held in less exotic locations, including the Outer Hebrides, Norfolk and Suffolk.
They’ve also tested recruits’ endurance for the deserts of Jordan.
As the series plays out, how many will survive Vietnam and pass the ultimate test?
SAS: Who Dares Wins continues next Monday at 9pm on Channel 4.
