Possums and wallabies are on their allowed list, nothing else and they got special permits for those as well.
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.

Another show to watch coming to channel 9. The Summit".

"In the rugged Alps of New Zealand's southern island, a group of strangers will embark on an epic quest unlike anything ever seen.

With their backpacks containing an equal share of 1 million dollars, the group must reach the peak of a distant mountain in just 14 days to win the cash they're carrying.

Along the journey they'll need to work as a team as they tackle dangerous terrain, wild conditions and overcome adrenaline-charged challenges that block their path to the mountain.

But what happens when members of the group fall behind, will the rest of the trekkers slow down and risk not reaching it up the mountain in time? Or will they cut them loose and press ahead to cash in?

In a thrilling tale of endurance, survival and greed; morals will be tested, physical limits pushed, and bonds broken. Will they reach the summit in time and who will walk away with the money?

A blockbuster action adventure filled with cliff-hangers; this is The Summit…getting up is just the beginning.

The Summit is a 9Network and Endemol Shine Australia (A Banijay company) original series, produced by Endemol Shine Australia."

According to the latest episode:
“Participants are permitted to trap 36 species of wildlife.
Protected species must be released unharmed.”

The Summit will attract the same lack of interest from me as “Alone”. Scenery maybe great, content less so.

Unfortunately the scenery for the Australian series is mostly not that great either!

Should have dropped everyone on the coast. There is plenty of wild and isolated country between Port Davey and Strahan, and it's all stunningly beautiful.

Could be a good thing that they are sticking with the drowned lakes and dead trees and leaving the National Parks and other good bits ALONE.....
