Anybody been watching 'The Summit'?

Has anyone been watching ‘The Summit’ where a collection of average people have been selected to try and make it to the top of an 8,000 foot mountain in New Zealand in 14 days.
The carrot is £200,000 which is equally divided and carried by each competitor.
They only are allowed to travel as fast as the slowest and each day they vote off who they think is ‘The weakest link’ sorry wrong programme but right philosophy.

Not into heights. Not much into widths either.
In fact I get giddy if I kick an air mail stamp.

I just find it an interesting mix of people and I don’t think it was random.
Reminds me of ‘Lord of the Flies’ where there are several people vying for leader…
I think it’s more about psychology than endurance, but they have to make it watchable and it’s a reality show. I just enjoy watching the trials that I suffered many times during my fell running.
