One cocky SAS Australia celeb has divided the group and it’s painful to watch. James Weir recaps.
It’s that beautiful time of the year where the scent of jasmine’s in the air, the afternoon sun is hanging around just that little bit longer, and the SAS Australia celebrities are starting to turn on each other.
Just one week into the extreme Channel 7 reality series and the mind games have paid off. Egos are clashing, resentments are growing and the passive aggressive comments are flying.
JAMES WEIR RECAPS: Read all the recaps here
Bra Boy Koby Abberton has been on a compelling trajectory for the last few episodes. He’s determined to be top dog in the camp. It’s no surprise. Remember what he said when we first met him?
“I’m a confident man. I’m good lookin’, I’m strong. I’m fit — I’m walkin’ ‘round with a six pack all ripped and feelin’ great,” he bragged.
That humble statement sums up Koby. We’ve seen him picking fights and shutting people down with brash outbursts. Tonight, he decides to break rank by talking back to the soldiers.
It all happens during an intense hostage rescue with armed enemies lurking in a building. The mission requires a high level of awareness. Of course, Koby fails.
When the soldiers begin screaming their very helpful and totally polite constructive criticism, he decides it’s an appropriate time to offer his own thoughts.
“I disagree, sir,” he says.
The soldiers welcome the difference of opinion.
“F*ckin’ don’t disagree with me, I f*ckin’ know everything,” one soldier spits. “Don’t f*ckin’ disagree with me, I’ll tell you what’s right and wrong.”
Back at base camp, the soldiers are bored. Tearing strips off Koby hasn’t lifted their spirits as much as they thought it would. Surely there’s another way to punish him?
One of the soldiers starts giggling as they hatch a plan. They decide to tell Koby that he’s now the team leader of all the celebrities. It’s brilliant for two reasons.
1. Koby will get drunk on power and become insufferable
2. The celebrities will become disgruntled and eventually band together to stage a revolt against their new leader
Everything goes according to plan.
“Guess what, gang? I’m now duty recruit. I’m the boss,” Koby declares while strutting back into the sleeping quarters.
Nervous glances are shared between the other celebs.
The soldiers have told Koby his first order of business is getting rid of all the dust in the accommodation by using buckets of water to dampen the dirty concrete floor. Koby wastes no time in asserting his authority over his teammates.
“First thing we gotta do is clean the floor. So, first thing I’d do is I’d get a bucket and …” he trails off, forgetting the simple instructions the soldiers just told him seven seconds ago.
Everyone’s confused. Within minutes, the small task morphs into a convoluted operation that ends with everyone’s belongings — and all the furniture — stacked up in the middle of the room.
“Koby, what were the exact orders?” Jana wipes sweat from her brow.
Koby widens his eyes and kicks his power trip into gear. “Jana, you seem p*ssed off. I’m the duty guard now, I’m tellin’ ya how to do it,” he scolds.
Everyone’s milling about the room with brooms and buckets and bags. The simple task of dampening the floors was meant to stop the dust from clouding the air. Instead, dust now billows around the confined space from all the sweeping and commotion. Ironman Jett Kenny has to tie a T-shirt around his face, covering his nose and mouth, just to breathe.
“Did they tell you to do this?” Jessica Peris squints at Koby.
It’s the final straw. Koby is sick and tired of everyone not respecting his leadership. He snaps. “How many f**kin’times do I have to tell you guys?” he growls.
By now, everyone’s fanning the air in front of their faces and coughing. The room is in complete disarray. Dust is everywhere. It’s been hours.
Of course, Koby can’t help but impart some wise words to us.
“Leaders lead by leading, ya know?” he says firmly before attempting to one-up his own sage advice. “Leaders … ah … lead by … um … leading.”
Spoken like a true leader.
