The Summit

The pacing of this entire series is so slow and overly dramatic. For a competition show, the premise was strong! Going through a harsh environment and tackling obstacles? Sounds cool! The stars selected for this are all awful though and overly dramatic. The shows pacing DRAGS on where every star reitterates the same point umpteen times before they move on to the next dialogue piece for everyone to recycle over and over every episode. None of them have a sense of competition or strategy. If the goal is to make it to the top, you would think you'd vote off weak characters. Nope! They vote off the strong athletic characters because they're making everyone else "feel bad/intimidated". That along with the host who has this total, "I'm a tough guy" persona just makes this entire series unwatchable except for the views and actual 10 minutes (of 40 minutes) of events.

It's so much filler with fake drama and repetition.

Ok, so there's a guy afraid of heights. But sure, I'll climb a mountain. The point of the show is for the GROUP to make the summit, so let's vote out the "threats". Threats to what? Actually making it to the top? Really dumb. I really do not understand casting a bunch of tubbies at real risk of heart attack. And the helicopter? Yeah, real scary. They make it look like it's flying so close to them and then give it a stupid name. I like Manu, but he's over-serious and not really needed. Some of these distances look they could be done in 2 hrs but it takes this bunch of dopes 2 days. Try casting folks who can actually do this next time.

The players are playing like BB or survivor.

I thought the goal was to make it to the summit. If 4 player get there then everyone shares it? I don't think it is only one player?

It feels like the players think it is only one winner. Not sure how to watch this show. Voting off helpful and fit people does not make sense.

Very confusing - I thought everyone who makes it gets money.

Watching this I am now hoping they do not make it - keeping Amy in ????? Why????

The worst show ever.

Now I am watching it to see them lost the entire game? Or show or prize money

Why? Why? Why? The decisions for voting people off is so bad bad bad.

Who in there right mind would get rid of the most perfect leader, the person who got them through everything, to put himself in that #1 position? - So IMO just a theory but after checking, (have a habit of checking bios), it appears he is the only one that was in a previous movie or comedy put out by the same company that did 20 Year Old Virgin - so I am assuming he did it for self promotion (more face-time!!), unlike some of the others who had no bios other than "self" who had one reason or another or a real athletic ability and desire to reach the summit and actually help the team succeed as a team. This was a disgrace to backstab Dusty for the purpose of putting yourself in the position! And the puppet master military woman - OK she is capable however there are times when a male strength may be necessary and desirable with such a diverse team which actually did happen a few times as Dusty helped some survive. What is with that? No support from her either? Can't stand it anymore either. Not looking forward to the final. My missing 8 stars go to Dusty as he was the real star in this show. The scripting of this show does seem a little too obvious - Dennis' humor was funny but he played the part of the Korean Cockroach a little hard. The moms coalition formed a clique and the talented military hide their identities in fear of being kicked off? Makes 0 sense!

Ditto to what everyone else has said about it being a social-only game and not any other type of competition. It feels even more fake and over produced than the typical reality series. Definitely a big step down from Survivor and the Amazing Race. It is a little interesting when they have obstacles, but the photography usually only shows close-up shots so it is hard to believe the challenge is as difficult as they lead you to believe. It's guess it's okay if you can't find something else. I'll be surprised if there's a second season and won't watch it if there is. I wish I hadn't kept watching as it never gets better.
