Speaker 1: Ladies. Our next guest is back on our televisions with
Speaker 1: SAS Australia. It continues tonight seven thirty on Channel seven
Speaker 1: and seven plus. Everyone's talking about this new season. It
Speaker 1: is bigger, better than ever. Here's a little bit if
Speaker 1: you missed the premiere.
Speaker 2: Deep in the desert, they're just like a speck of sand.
Speaker 2: The selection process is the most brutal, the hardest military
Speaker 2: course in the world.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's just sadistic. Listen to him now, that's
Speaker 1: the whole that's air middles are now breathing down the
Speaker 1: farm like the creepy is hello ant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about a creep but lookit. I
Speaker 3: think that I think that.
Speaker 4: That was like absolutely perfect timing. It was like the
Speaker 4: bomb goes off and then near this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and usually this is filmed in like less dire
Speaker 5: conditions like Australia maybe, But how did you take this
Speaker 5: to the Middle East this year because from what we've seen,
Speaker 5: the conditions and the heat are next level.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just wanted to mix things up when it
Speaker 3: came to the environment, because if you have a different
Speaker 3: environment with different personalities, you're going to have a completely
Speaker 3: different course or a completely different show. So the desert
Speaker 3: environment is one that we've operated in, you know, for
Speaker 3: the past sort of twenty years, so we wanted to
Speaker 3: keep it nice and current, nice and relatable. And also
Speaker 3: in the desert, they one can hear.
Speaker 4: You scream, oh my God, to go.
Speaker 6: And what do you think is the biggest motivator like
Speaker 6: for celebrities to do this show? I mean, I personally
Speaker 6: couldn't think of anything here that work.
Speaker 3: Do you know what? You've got your athletes that have
Speaker 3: retired that want to just challenge themselves again. They want
Speaker 3: to see if they've got that winner's mentality still. They
Speaker 3: want to see if they still got that flame inside
Speaker 3: their inside their stomachs. And then you've got people that
Speaker 3: want there that want to redeem themselves. They want to
Speaker 3: show the world a different soul to them, a different
Speaker 3: sort of outcome and how they've changed and if they've changed.
Speaker 3: And then you've got your people that just hippos. Might
Speaker 3: you say, you just stick out and they want to
Speaker 3: come and put themselves with some hardship and suffering.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I saw I was watching some of the snippets.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it right now. Play Actually while we're
Speaker 4: speaking to you, I think it's Peter Bowle was one
Speaker 4: of the He's an Olympic runner and he was quote
Speaker 4: unquote buried alive. And I was watching that and I
Speaker 4: was like, that actually looks like there could be a
Speaker 4: serious injury, Like it looked like you had a centimeter
Speaker 4: or two to breathe. What kind of serious injuries have
Speaker 4: been on there? Because I actually I actually had an
Speaker 4: interview for this show two years ago, and the reason
Speaker 4: I didn't end up doing it was because I asked,
Speaker 4: It's like, what kind of injuries do people actually get hurt?
Speaker 7: And they were like, yeah, yeah, you know, it depends
Speaker 7: on how well you listen and how how were you
Speaker 7: take on board information.
Speaker 3: Because ultimately what we did is we did you know,
Speaker 3: your life into your own hands. When we're telling you
Speaker 3: to add self of a cliff. You know, if you
Speaker 3: let down that roade, you're going to come crushing down
Speaker 3: pretty fast. And even if you get you know, stopped
Speaker 3: at the bottom, you're still going to injure yourself. If
Speaker 3: you don't listen to the detail that would give you,
Speaker 3: then you know you're going to hurt yourself.
Speaker 6: You said that there's often people who come on their
Speaker 6: warning retribution do you think from this experience, do you
Speaker 6: think that they're the people are always entitled to that
Speaker 6: this sort of platform. It can sometimes allow people to
Speaker 6: show their vulnerabilities, and it can allow people to, you know,
Speaker 6: show that they're sorry for the things that they may
Speaker 6: have done. But do you think that everyone is entitled
Speaker 6: to have that ability to have retribution in the public eye.
Speaker 3: Well, entitlement is you know, who gets to choose, who
Speaker 3: gets a second chance, who gets a third chance, you
Speaker 3: get to fourth chance. You know, it's a social construct
Speaker 3: out there that puts that person in that situation. So
Speaker 3: the idea of the course, and it's like that on
Speaker 3: the selection process is the slate is wipe clean. You know,
Speaker 3: it's who are you right now? We know what do
Speaker 3: you bring to this world? What do you bring to yourself,
Speaker 3: what do you bring to the team? And can you
Speaker 3: cope under extreme pressure? So I think edone deserves a second, third, fourth,
Speaker 3: fifth chance. You know, as long as it's not gone
Speaker 3: on to you know, to be super detrimental to anyone,
Speaker 3: then I think everyone deserves deserves a chance in life.
Speaker 3: And you know, no one's perfect. We've all got skeletons
Speaker 3: in our closet. We've all got demons. We need to exercise,
Speaker 3: and this is a perfect course to do it on.
Speaker 4: Oh and I don't know about that. I'm pretty perfect Middleton.
Speaker 3: There everyone,
