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.

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.

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.

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.
