SAS Australia is off and running, again proving itself as the toughest reality show on TV.
Already, we’ve seen recruits set on fire, plunged underwater, and completing tasks metres and metres up in the air.
The intensity of the SAS selection course has already gotten to some – we’ve seen some voluntary withdrawals, and a medical withdrawal for boxer Michael Zerafa.
However, some think they might already know who wins the show by passing the gruelling course at the end of the two-week period.
While we can’t say for certain, betting site Sportsbet often has incredibly accurate odds, that have clued us in to the winners on show like The Bachelor and Bachelorette, Survivor, I’m A Celebrity, and The Masked Singer.
And this year, Supercars presenter Riana Crehan sitting at the top of the ladder, with odds at 1.33.
NRL players Millie Boyle and Darius Boyd sit just behind her, respectively on 1.40 and 1.50.
With not much separating the three, it’s likely that all of them will go on to pass selection, which is the standard for a win on SAS Australia.
Instead of being the sole winner, any number of recruits can pass selection, as chosen by DS Ant Middleton and his fellow staff.
In the first season, Merrick Watts, Nick Cummins and Sabrina Frederick all passed selection, whereas last year it was just Sam Burgess.
The odds are somewhat surprising given the strong and consistent edit being given to reality TV star and adventure guide Locky Gilbert, who is very physically fit and strong, and thus far seems very determined to prove himself on the course.
He has so far performed quite well in challenges, but Sportsbet has him currently in fifth place with odds at 4.00.
However, he has moved up the ladder since the show began, originally sitting in eighth place behind two other recruits who have since voluntarily withdrawn.
You can catch SAS Australia on Monday and Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm on Channel Seven.
