The Summit viewers fume as they accuse contestant Dockers of 'bullying' behaviour
'Really disturbing to watch'The Summit debuted on ITV earlier this week, and already, viewers have strong opinions on contestant Dockers.
The series sees 14 strangers set out across the unforgiving mountains of New Zealand, where they must endure demanding physical trials and strategic gameplay in a bid to reach the summit within 14 days. If successful, they’ll compete for a share of a prize pot worth up to £200,000.
Along the way, contestants face brutal weather, unexpected twists, and difficult decisions — including eliminating fellow players — all in the hope of making it to the top.
Dockers on The Summit
During the first episode on Tuesday (February 10), viewers were introduced to the cast, which includes former Gladiators star Ace, also known as Warren Furman, and Gillian McKeith’s daughter, Afton.
A huge stand-out has been self-described “alpa male” Dockers, who is a bold character.
During the first episode, he had strong opinions to boot Thomas off the show and was accused of “bulldozing” others to side with him. Many believed this was because Thomas threatened him, immediately turning off viewers.
However, things didn’t improve following last night’s show as his overconfident, intimidating demeanour and his ability to try to be the leader of the group and talk down at people has continued to rub many the wrong way.
‘Vote him off’
“Dockers is a complete [bleep] and a bully. Vote him off,” one user wrote on X.
“I’m sick of hearing Dockers speak,” another person shared.
“Dockers can you just shut up! Really, shut up!” a third remarked.
“Get Dockers OFF!” a fourth said.
“Dockers is insufferable,” a fifth declared.
“Dockers is not just a red flag male, he’s a whole festoon of red flag bunting. Really disturbing to watch,” a sixth wrote.
“Dockers is a vile bully. Only episode 2 and I hate him,” another said.
Meanwhile, another echoed: “Wow just foofing wow, #TheSummitUK is bloody brutal, Dockers is a bully and needs to go.”
Following The Summit’s debut on ITV, viewers had mixed opinions about the show itself.
