SAS: Who Dares Wins 2019 episode four airs tonight on Channel 4. The Channel 4 show, hosted by Ant Middleton, is coming to its final episodes of the year, with the contestants tonight expected to do a death-defying abseil. The SAS: Who Dares Wins 2019 final episode will be in two weeks, after which we will know this year's winner.
How many episodes are in SAS Who Dares Wins 2019?
SAS Who Dares Wins 2019 will have six episodes, with the first one airing tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
Six episodes is one more than the past three seasons, which have seen the recruits tackle a series of five challenges.
This time, however, the challenge will be even tougher as the 25 recruits tackle trials in the Andes mountains of Chile.
Each of the six episodes of SAS Who Dares Wins 2019 will run for an hour.
This means the SAS Who Dares Wins 2019 series finale will air on Sunday, February 17.
Each episode will be available to watch on catch-up shortly after broadcast on All4.
All4 will also stream each episode live as it airs on Channel 4.
All previous episodes of Who Dares Win are available to watch on the streaming service now.
What will happen in SAS Who Dares Wins 2019?
The official synopsis for SAS: Who Dares Wins 2019 from Channel 4 reads: “The reality show in which volunteers are put through SAS recruitment tests returns for a fourth series, hosted by chief instructor Ant Middleton and his directing staff.
“In 2019, the ministry of defence will be changing their selection criteria for the SAS, allowing women to apply for the first time.
“To coincide with this, this series will feature male and female candidates competing against one another.
“The first round of tests comes from the Andes mountains in central Chile, where the recruits must pull fully loaded sledges across high-altitude valleys and plunge into freezing waterfalls.”

The candidates are eliminated across the episodes until they reach the final “Sickener” in which the recruits will be whittled down until one winner remains.
In a statement, the makers of SAS: Who Dares Wins said that despite women being allowed on the show for the first time, “no allowances will be made for gender.”
“All Ant and the DS [Director Staff] want to know is can women, with no allowances or exceptions made, pass the course?”
The 2019 edition of Who Dares Win will have 13 female contestants who will answer this question over the six episodes.
