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.

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.

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.

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.
