The Summit final flooded with complaints as viewers slam 'lame ending'
'What a disappointing ending!'The Summit finale left viewers disappointed after the remaining four contestants attempted to win the prize fund.
During Tuesday’s (March 17) show, the final four — Dockers, Warren, Colleen and Drew — were all in for a chance of taking home a large sum of money.
However, halfway through the episode, they had to decide one last time who would be leaving the race in New Zealand.
After discussing with the group, former Gladiators star Warren sacrificed his spot. He insisted he should be voted off, leaving the final three emotional with their decision.
The Summit final
After Warren’s exit, Dockers, Colleen and Drew were then hit with another bombshell. Before reaching the top of The Summit, the show’s Mountain Keeper delivered a duffel from the helicopter.
Reading the letter inside, Dockers was told he had the power in his hands. The options he was given were to continue climbing The Summit with Colleen and Drew, or eliminate one of them to increase the prize fund.
Keeping his promise to the team, Dockers rejected the idea of getting rid of anyone and climbed the final stretch with Colleen and Drew.
Throughout the series, Dockers has been accused of being a “bully” by viewers. However, he displayed a softer side last night.
