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.

Watching people face their fears is as much of a snooze fest and watching unfit people climb a mountain. But, the cinematography was excellent & the scenery was magnificent! Overall, I found the series entertaining.

Still, any reality show that rewards bad behavior is an immediate turn off. I almost stopped watching because of that. And there's absolutely no way for the players to protect themselves from elimination or those behaving badly.

The other major bummer is, the show is all about FEELINGS. The biggest prize award is based on the EMOTIONS of disgruntled players already eliminated. Because EMOTIONS are the number one most important thing for young people and that's boring as hell. Everything is about the feels. SMH. Imagine if our ancestors tried to build a country based on EMOTIONS. None of us would be here.

IMO, Dusty, Geoff & Nick were the most deserving to win (in that order) so I'm happy with the results. I pray for anyone in the hospital who gets Nurse Dennis Ratchet! Those who were carried along the way were delusional to think they could win - or were deserving of the win. I did like Manu's no-nonsense approach.

A lot of tweaking is needed if there's gonna be a season 2...or better yet, get fit/athletic contestants who can earn advantages with challenges on their way to the check points.

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!

So if you had 14 days to reach the top of a mountain in order to win money, and won't get any money if you don't, would you start picking off the athletic people? Well that's just the beginning of what these contestants do. It's like they completely forget they are on a deadline, and are playing a strategic game, mind you, without using common sense strategy. They act all pious saying I won't vote out weak players. Yet these weak players are why they have yet to make a checkpoint on time, easily being over 24 hours behind and 1 checkpoint behind, from errors made on the FIRST day. I barely made it through the 3rd episode, because I was so mad at the players for playing so stupidly! It is overwhelmingly evident that no money will be won by anyone, so what's the point in watching? The producers are going to have to pull a unicorn out their a$$es if they want this to be successful. Actually , I don't even think that would help; it's that bad. Do yourself a favor, just skip this. I guarantee there won't be a second season.
