SAS Australia fans shocked as three stars leave the show: 'Cry baby'
"I have no idea what I’m doing here. I’m a complete fish out of water."
SAS Australia fans were left shocked on Tuesday night when three stars left the show, with one being forced to leave due to injury.
Balinese princess Lindy Klim and convicted drug smuggler 'Cocaine Cassie' Sainsbury quit the show, while NRL legend Boyd Cordner was forced to exit due to injury.
Lindy admitted that she was "completely out of her comfort zone", but said she was proud that she lasted two days.
"I hate sand, and I hate being dirty, and I hate camping. I feel quite chuffed that I managed to get through two days, so I feel good," she said.

Lindy also admitted to being a 'Karen' and needing her comforts, like listening to podcasts, whale sounds and wearing an eye mask to fall asleep.
"I’m part of the Bali royal family," she said. "I have no idea what I’m doing here. I’m a complete fish out of water."
Cassie decided to leave before facing a challenge that involved crawling through a tunnel filled with water, saying she was worried the dark and confined space would remind her too much of her time in a Columbian jail.
She told the directing staff that she wanted to leave the nickname Cocaine Cassie behind after the show, "It is one of the first times in a long time that I feel proud of myself in the sense of facing everything that I didn't ever want to see again.
"When I leave the SAS course, 'Cocaine Cassie' dies there. That's it. She doesn't follow me around anymore. I'm just Cassie, but I am the Cassie who has gone through a lot. I've come out the other side stronger, with more resilience, and I hope to be able to prove everyone wrong."
Boyd was medically withdrawn from the show due to a painful injury, with Ant Middleton telling him, "I know you wanted to crack on and you wanted to get through. But if you carry on, especially the next couple of days, sheer pride is going to really, really injure you and potentially rip the rest of that [muscle] off."
He added, "Your character is impeccable. You’re an honourable person."
SAS viewers slam the show
SAS viewers were quick to slam Lindy and Cassie, as well as the show, with one Instagram user writing, "I'm glad Cassie is gone she's such a cry baby. So dramatic. Military is not for the weak."
"They are all dropping like flies we might need some intruders soon," another joked.

"The soap opera stories are totally s**t… can you just concentrate on the actual training and skills instead of people’s crying stories?" a third said of the show.
"It’s the second episode and the number of times 'Cassie' and 'prison' keeps being mentioned is a little overkill to whoever was one the editing cut room," someone else said. "There are 12 other stories you can tell, you know?"
Others shared that they were "so sad to see Boyd leave".
