Emmy Russ Stakes Out Self-First Tactics for The Summit After Entering Unprepared

New interviews portray a self-first strategy built on minimal preparation with crucial on-trail help.

Overview

  • The reality star calls herself a complete loner and argues that success in such formats comes from thinking only about oneself.
  • She says she did not train for the Prime Video competition and went in largely blind to the demands of the show.
  • Heavy packs made the ascent difficult for her, and she credits help from male co-contestants with keeping her from being ousted on day one.
  • She frames eliminations as strategic choices based on effort and contribution rather than celebrity status or popularity.
  • The Summit tasks celebrities with a mountain climb for up to €1 million, with one contestant leaving after each stage.
