The Summit

I had high expectations for this show. Who could make it to the top and share in the $. You want everyone to make it but not at the expense of the group. Tough decisions to be made. Instead, the contestants think they are on "Survivor" and last man standing gets the $. They scheme and connive and stupidly vote off their "competition". It's as if they were offering a million $ to EVERYONE who could climb Everest and they vote off the guides and sherpas. Then, the show itself picked some contestants who are so out of shape they struggle with basic hiking let alone mountain climbing. And when many of them would fail on the vertical more difficult climbs the show wants you to believe that they "persevered" and "overcame". Instead, you can see that the "safety" line practically hauls them up. Any accomplishments are now totally unbelievable.

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.

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.

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!

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.
