More than any other reality show, making it to the end of SAS Australia is a rarity. The rigorous selection process pushes the famous recruits to their limits, with many voluntarily or medically withdrawing, or being eliminated.

This year, everyone from Bachelor alum, to NRL stars, to champion boxers decided to brave the course, with the goal of passing selection.
Though we have yet to reach the end of the season, fans are convinced they already know who the top contenders are to join the SAS hall of fame.
Heading to Sportsbet, viewers have placed their bets on a few key celebs to be passed by chief officer Ant Middleton.
As it stands, former Supercars television presenter Riana Crehan, rugby league and union footballer Millie Boyle, and retired NRL star Darius Boyd hold the top three spots on the betting site.
Currently, Riana has odds of 1.10, Millie has odds of 1.15, and Darius has odds of 1.35.
So far, in the history of SAS Australia, only four celebrities have passed the course.
In season one, former rugby player and Bachelor star Nick Cummins (The Honey Badger), AFLW player Sabrina Frederick, and comedian Merrick Watts all passed selection.
“I feel like I’ve learned a truckload,” Nick said after his victory. “I’ve learned about myself too. Definitely bulletproof for life, for sure!”
Sabrina also mused that she had a lot of “respect” for the SAS recruitment process.
“For them to embrace me as one of their own, I will never be able to explain how much that means to me.”
Chuffed as ever, Merrick called the experience of his “greatest achievements”.

“I did this course to rebuild my own confidence and to show myself my own capabilities but I ended wanting to learn more about the soldiers that sacrifice what they do and how hard it is for them to give over so much of their lives for us.”
The following year, former rugby league player Sam Burgess was the sole celebrity to pass the selection process.
“It was great to achieve the goal. It was a once in a lifetime experience,” the former athlete said.
