But, I'm one of those people who spends an inordinate amount of time reading fanfics and shipping couples, and this show is just bad. It's like one of those 300,000 word fanfics that the author can't be persuaded to wrap up.

This show is ridiculous. I started watching it wanting to like it, but…seriously. Can someone explain the appeal to me?

Given that the frozen corpses of previous climbers have become landmarks on the mountain, yeah. I don't get how you can walk past something like that and still want to head to the top.
