WEBVTT - MINI! Ant Middleton reveals why Brit was knocked back from the show

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Ladies. Our next guest is back on our televisions with

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>SAS Australia. It continues tonight seven thirty on Channel seven

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>and seven plus. Everyone's talking about this new season. It

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>is bigger, better than ever. Here's a little bit if

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you missed the premiere.

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Deep in the desert, they're just like a speck of sand.

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 2>The selection process is the most brutal, the hardest military

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>course in the world.

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, it's just sadistic. Listen to him now, that's

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole that's air middles are now breathing down the

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>farm like the creepy is hello ant.

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know about a creep but lookit. I

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 3>think that I think that.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 4>That was like absolutely perfect timing. It was like the

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 4>bomb goes off and then near this.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and usually this is filmed in like less dire

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 5>conditions like Australia maybe, But how did you take this

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 5>to the Middle East this year because from what we've seen,

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 5>the conditions and the heat are next level.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we just wanted to mix things up when it

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 3>came to the environment, because if you have a different

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>environment with different personalities, you're going to have a completely

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>different course or a completely different show. So the desert

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>environment is one that we've operated in, you know, for

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 3>the past sort of twenty years, so we wanted to

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 3>keep it nice and current, nice and relatable. And also

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 3>in the desert, they one can hear.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>You scream, oh my God, to go.

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 6>And what do you think is the biggest motivator like

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 6>for celebrities to do this show? I mean, I personally

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 6>couldn't think of anything here that work.

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what? You've got your athletes that have

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 3>retired that want to just challenge themselves again. They want

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 3>to see if they've got that winner's mentality still. They

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 3>want to see if they still got that flame inside

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 3>their inside their stomachs. And then you've got people that

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>want there that want to redeem themselves. They want to

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 3>show the world a different soul to them, a different

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>sort of outcome and how they've changed and if they've changed.

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>And then you've got your people that just hippos. Might

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 3>you say, you just stick out and they want to

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 3>come and put themselves with some hardship and suffering.

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well I saw I was watching some of the snippets.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm looking at it right now. Play Actually while we're

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 4>speaking to you, I think it's Peter Bowle was one

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 4>of the He's an Olympic runner and he was quote

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 4>unquote buried alive. And I was watching that and I

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 4>was like, that actually looks like there could be a

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>serious injury, Like it looked like you had a centimeter

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 4>or two to breathe. What kind of serious injuries have

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 4>been on there? Because I actually I actually had an

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 4>interview for this show two years ago, and the reason

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 4>I didn't end up doing it was because I asked,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 4>It's like, what kind of injuries do people actually get hurt?

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 7>And they were like, yeah, yeah, you know, it depends

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 7>on how well you listen and how how were you

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 7>take on board information.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Because ultimately what we did is we did you know,

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 3>your life into your own hands. When we're telling you

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>to add self of a cliff. You know, if you

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 3>let down that roade, you're going to come crushing down

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 3>pretty fast. And even if you get you know, stopped

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 3>at the bottom, you're still going to injure yourself. If

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>you don't listen to the detail that would give you,

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 3>then you know you're going to hurt yourself.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 6>You said that there's often people who come on their

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 6>warning retribution do you think from this experience, do you

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 6>think that they're the people are always entitled to that

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 6>this sort of platform. It can sometimes allow people to

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 6>show their vulnerabilities, and it can allow people to, you know,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 6>show that they're sorry for the things that they may

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 6>have done. But do you think that everyone is entitled

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 6>to have that ability to have retribution in the public eye.

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, entitlement is you know, who gets to choose, who

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 3>gets a second chance, who gets a third chance, you

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>get to fourth chance. You know, it's a social construct

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>out there that puts that person in that situation. So

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 3>the idea of the course, and it's like that on

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 3>the selection process is the slate is wipe clean. You know,

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>it's who are you right now? We know what do

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 3>you bring to this world? What do you bring to yourself,

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 3>what do you bring to the team? And can you

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 3>cope under extreme pressure? So I think edone deserves a second, third, fourth,

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 3>fifth chance. You know, as long as it's not gone

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 3>on to you know, to be super detrimental to anyone,

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 3>then I think everyone deserves deserves a chance in life.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 3>And you know, no one's perfect. We've all got skeletons

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 3>in our closet. We've all got demons. We need to exercise,

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 3>and this is a perfect course to do it on.

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh and I don't know about that. I'm pretty perfect Middleton.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 3>There everyone,
