00:00You're okay. You're okay.
00:02That was the most scariest thing I've ever done.
00:04We're here in the New Zealand Alps, filming The Summit.
00:08Welcome to Aotearoa.
00:09It's a reality series which takes 16 contestants
00:12at the bottom of a mountain range and tells them to reach the summit.
00:15To reach a what?
00:16This is crazy!
00:17There is never a day in my office where I'm going to be looking at a view like this.
00:20I'm a city girl, so I'm pretty far from home right now.
00:23No more mom, no more wife.
00:25I need to finally be Jeannie.
00:27The contestants will have 14 days to reach The Summit.
00:30Along the way, they're going to face dangerous terrain and heart-pounding challenges,
00:35all for the quest of $1 million.
00:38Take that with you and put it in your backpack.
00:40You're going to carry this to The Summit.
00:41What I hope to gain is more than anything that money could buy.
00:44I want to prove to the little voices in my head that I can do it.
00:47I am doing this so my kids can see what the dad is capable of.
00:50I truly want to find out if I still have that dog in me.
00:53No one said it's going to be easy.
00:56I know you ain't quitting.
00:57Fears may come up during the adventure.
01:00I think the stress is going to definitely wear some people down.
01:02People are too slow.
01:03If they're not working as a team, they'll be voted off the mountain.
01:06You're going to get to steal somebody's cash.
01:08How are you going to do that?
01:09You're going to vote somebody off this mountain.
01:11The toughest thing about this is going to be the other people.
01:13I am willing to take manipulating and cheating to the furthest extent.
01:17I'm sure I have the physical side down, but what I really want to focus on is my social game.
01:21Make friends with people, and hopefully that means they won't eliminate me.
01:24Right now, you're trying to overplay the game.
01:26Nick is a snake. Do not trust him.
01:28We have a little twist called the Mountain's Keeper.
01:31Someone who's observing at all times and who will force the trekkers to make difficult but necessary decisions.
01:38To make the summit on time, hard choices must be made.
01:40When the last person is crossing...
01:42Sorry, we didn't have a choice.
01:45I know I have what it takes to win, because I literally do not stop.
01:48Someone has to win, so why not me?
01:50Come on, baby! Let's go!
