It’s the hair-raising real-life action adventure series where contestants compete in a death defying mountain climb.
And now super fans of Channel Nine reality series The Summit have attacked the tension filled series for being ‘too emotional’.
Hosted by Jai Courtney, 33, the show centres on 14 strangers out to reach a mountain peak in 15 days for a million-dollar cash prize.
Viewer complaints have emerged that the edits in the episodes aired so far this season have featured too many tears and not enough white knuckle excitement.
‘Too much crying,’ one fan whined on a fan site dedicated to the show.

‘Love it. Though I’m over the crying lol,’ agreed another.
Sadly, 35-year-old contestant Charlotte Shelton has been singled out by some on the site for her tear-filled re-actions to the life and death contest on the mountain.
‘I am over Charlotte crying all the time,’ one fan said.
Meanwhile, another fan suggested a way to ‘fix’ the edit: ‘They should focus on the actual path and the journey rather than constantly interjecting with constant emotional outbursts.’

Other Summit fans wanted to see more ‘helicopter action’ of the remote New Zealand location this season.
The cast features former soap star Olympia Valance, Baywatch star Simmone Jade Mackinnon and former Bardot band member Tiffani Wood.
It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed the series was on the brink of cancellation after season one failed last year to win big ratings.
A Nine insider told Daily Mail Australia the network previously had no plans for a season two, but decided to give it the green light.
The Jai Courtney-hosted action-adventure series, initially touted as the network’s breakout series of the year, struggled to climb above around 400,000 viewers.
The source painted a picture of a series fraught with production nightmares and financial setbacks due to severe weather conditions.
Filming the action-packed 8500ft New Zealand mountain trek proved a herculean task, costing hundreds of thousands.
