‘Big Brother’ Star Quinn Martin Reacts to ‘The Summit’ Cancellation

Reality TV fans, lower your binoculars… because one of “Big Brother’s” biggest personalities just confirmed he won’t be trading house drama for high-altitude chaos after all. Quinn Martin, BB26’s standout star, had fans buzzing this week when he posted what looked like a teaser for “The Summit” Season 2. But instead of gearing up for a grueling mountain trek, it turns out Quinn was mourning what could’ve been.
The post? A slideshow featuring a shot of Quinn with fellow reality alum Gino Howard, captioned “Moment of silence for Season 2 of The Summit,” followed by a string of emojis (cue the sad face, violin, mountain, and climbing icons) and loaded hashtags like #thesummit, #cbs, #training, #hiking, #nowwhat, #bigbrother, and #bopittotbetop.
Not Going From Houseguest to Hiker
Jumping from “Big Brother’s” cutthroat strategy to “The Summit’s” grueling terrain wouldn’t be just a glow-up; it’d be a whole different beast. According to 9Now, the show was filmed in New Zealand’s wild, cinematic landscape and follows a group of strangers attempting to scale a remote mountain in just 14 days. The catch? They’re hauling a $1 million prize pool on their backs, and if someone can’t keep up, their portion of the cash gets cut too. Yep, brutal.
It seems like Quinn was locked, loaded, and maybe even in training for the challenge. The hashtags alone (#training, #hiking, #nowwhat) suggest he had already started prepping for his next big adventure. But with the show canceled before cameras could even roll, that adventure came to a halt before it began.
We already know Quinn can handle social strategy under pressure… too bad we’ll never find out how he fares when altitude sickness and rugged terrain enter the chat.
Fans Feel the Missed Opportunity
Naturally, fans didn’t waste time jumping into the comment section with some top-tier reactions. One wrote, “King Quinn, most iconic character on BB🫡👑,” clearly still rooting for his reality reign to continue. Another asked, “Are you going to be a contestant on that show? If so, I’ll be rooting for you,” not realizing the mountain had already vanished.
And in true internet fashion, one fan threw in the ultimate one-liner: “I think they ran out of mountains.” Peak comedy? Literally.
The vibes? Bittersweet. It seems like Quinn was down to test his limits in a whole new setting… and fans were 100% here for it. Even though “The Summit” didn’t make it to Season 2, Quinn’s willingness to take on a challenge outside the BB house says a lot. Only time will tell where we’ll get to see him next.
