The Summit

If you love the outdoors as much as my wife and I, then you'll fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery; however, other than that, this show has exactly zero redeeming qualities. We started watching because we thought this show would be different than other reality shows, but it turns out it's just more of the same BS. They voted off the only person with any redeeming qualities whatsoever. I think it was because, although he was very athletic and basically made for this sort of thing, he was too boring for the producers. Therefore, he ad to go. Some of the challenges that the contestants have balked at look like great amusement park rides. We will watch to the end in the great hopes that they fail to reach the Summit by the deadline.

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.

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!

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.

We thought this would be a good family show, full of feats of physical prowess, mental toughness, and teamwork. Sure, let's vote off the really athletic, nice people for this group competition where we're on a deadline and have to scale a mountain! It's all about "social game" and honestly none of them deserve to win the prize, the way they keep toxic baggage for fear of voting against the numbers instead of voting off the dead weight.

Turns out it's just a really annoying copycat of Big Brother on a mountain with overly dramatized "challenges" that you'd do on a cruise excursion. Sigh. I'll just watch Alone or Survivor again.
