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.

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.

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.

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.

Ditto to what everyone else has said about it being a social-only game and not any other type of competition. It feels even more fake and over produced than the typical reality series. Definitely a big step down from Survivor and the Amazing Race. It is a little interesting when they have obstacles, but the photography usually only shows close-up shots so it is hard to believe the challenge is as difficult as they lead you to believe. It's guess it's okay if you can't find something else. I'll be surprised if there's a second season and won't watch it if there is. I wish I hadn't kept watching as it never gets better.
