Premiering Sunday, May 14 at 7:00PM on Channel 9 and 9Now.
On Wednesday morning the team at SheSociety were lucky enough to get a sneak peek at Channel 9’s new reality television show The Summit, which is an action-packed adventure you do not want to miss! The first episode hooked me from the very beginning, following the team of fourteen everyday Australian’s on their mission to win $1 million dollars equally divided, as they scale one of New Zealand’s tallest mountains. I was kept hanging on the edge of my seat watching the contestants take on nail biting challenges and shocking twists. It was such a jam-packed experience that developed the challenge and contestant’s personalities so well that I can’t believe it was only one episode! I know I’m already addicted and can’t wait to see how the rest of the season pans out. Keep reading below to find out more information on Channel 9’s The Summit below!
Getting to the top is only half the battle in The Summit, the brand new action-adventure series premiering Sunday, May 14, at 7:00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
With a setting like no e=other and the picturesque mountains of New Zealand’s South Island, 14 strangers, people from all walks of life, will embark on an unforgettable experience: to try and win $1 million, equally divided between them, as they carry the cash to the top of one of New Zealand’s highest peaks.
The Summit is a thrilling game of trust, greed and betrayal where morals will be tested, physical limits pushed to breaking point and bonds forged and broken, hosted by Australian actor and Hollywood star, Jai Courtney.
The contestants will have to work as a team through dangerous, rugged terrain, encounter wild weather and adrenaline-charged obstacles to reach the summit of a distant mountain in 14 days to take home the prizemoney.
But if a trekker falters and gets left behind, so does their share of the money, reducing the size of the cash pot. And if the group fails to reach the summit in time, all the prizemoney will be lost.
There will be brutal twists and along the way- like opportunities to steal someone’s money if a trekker is seen as a weak link, and add it to the prize pot for the remaining trekkers.
How much money will be lost and stolen? And who in the group will risk the trekkers not making it to the top of the mountain in time?
Jai Courtney said: “You are going to see people physically, mentally and emotionally tested. You’ll see bonds made and broken. We will get a real look at how far people are willing to push themselves and push each other, and see how their resilience is tested. I think it’ll be inspiring, a little heartbreaking, and action-packed.”
As the old saying goes, be kind to the people on your way up, because on this adventure you never know who you might meet on the way down.
