The Summit

The show summit is somewhat irritating to watch. Because some of the people on the show are so out of shape and that contestants vote off the strong means the week are never gonna make it to the summit. And then when they have a choice to vote off the week, the strongest are voted off and the week slow the rest of the contestants down. How dumb is that? Yeah, the people are letting their emotions overshadow the strategy of the goal of the game which is getting to the summit, but they are not going to get there when they keep voting off strong people. And then the host doesn't really let the contestants vote. He basically picks 2 people and then they vote on the two people he picks.

I'm not sure what it is with aussie reality shows but they feel the need to stretch way too long.

This could have been a good show (albeit with a lot of seemingly random eliminations) if it was maybe hour long episodes. But no, every single challenge or discussion is dragged out till you just wanna fast forward huge chunks of it.

The scenery is awesome - that's why i picked it up. Jai seemed to be playing an emotionless character (or just didn't want to be there) which was weird - no reason he couldn't have been a bit more fun like say the aussie amazing race host.

All in all, was enjoyable enough to keep watching but i did skip chunks.

Are you kidding me?? Gave this show a go because it looked different. Different?!?! It is the same tosh as every other Australian show. What do we have...?? A bunch of contestants from different walks of life, different demographics, different abilities, but oh boy do they AAAAALLLLL have that same old "life has been hard" montage to bleed out. Same thing over and over. Introduce contestant, slow motion montage hiking/walking/climbing/surfing/playing with their dog/whatever. They've got three kids (tick), a loving relationship (tick), great job (tick)... and here it comes... quick switch from upbeat music to sad piano... here we go... "... but life hasn't always been easy..." And boom. Here we go again. Every two minutes there's a slo mo montage on TV of someone who looks perfectly fine on the outside, but *cue sad piano* "... life hasn't always been easy". They lost this, they lost that, they fought, they rebuilt, they blah blah blah. How are people still switching this rubbish on?? Summit, jungle, kitchen, island, city, dog pound... no TV show format is safe from this same old dried up bottom of the barrel nonsense of the real life DRAMA every single show wants to ram down our necks. Uplifting orchestra flips to sad piano flips back to uplifting orchestra over and over for sixty minutes. It's DONE, DONE, DONE. Honestly, how can people still care?? Every year new seasons of the same drivel just in a different format. This time people "who haven't always had it easy" climb a mountain. Oh great. Cue tears, sad piano, life montage. There seriously can't be anyone left in Australia with a sob story to tell to a slo mo montage anymore. Just stop.

I cried when Brook deceived Alex. She said she wanted to teach her children how to be a strong woman, but it's not a lesson I would want to teach my children , that it's okay to stab people in the back, that helped you get to the top, and that loyalty is not important. Sorry, that's not a good life lesson to your young ones. The show is a lot of manipulation, very similar to Survivor. I enjoy watching the physical events they have to go through, but not so much the meanness and back stabbing. It was interesting to watch Isaac overcome his fears . Well done Isaac one of the few genuine people on this show along with Alex.

The concept is good, but none of the show makes sense.

The "overwatch view" helicpoter thing is silly.

Having participants vote out the strong rather than the slow makes no sense. They make just as much money getting to top with strong person as slow. But with a slow person they may not make it at all.

The Host told participants they wont make the top if they dont speed up. So what do they do, they vote out a fast person. Crazy.

They are trying to copy Survivor with the back stabbing and alliances, but you cant in this scenario, its clumbsy and not working.

Then having the show take back money is funny, guess they dont want to give out a full million. Remember the last guy at the bridge crossing, they chopped the rope bridge. The host said they were taking the money back, there was nothing the participants could do about it. The shows just did not want to give the money away.

But I have to keep watching as my wife likes the show. LOL.
