  • Eliminated From the Race
rdfs:comment
  • A method of eliminating contestants in a Reality Game Show which does not involve subjective voting by other contestants, judges or the viewers. Contestants are eliminated simply by their showing in an objective contest, with the last-place finisher eliminated. In sports, this type of contest is called "last man standing". A few informal "shootout" golf events use some variation of this. Contrast Voted Off the Island, where you are eliminated by your fellow contestants in a vote. Examples of Eliminated From the Race include:

  • A method of eliminating contestants in a Reality Game Show which does not involve subjective voting by other contestants, judges or the viewers. Contestants are eliminated simply by their showing in an objective contest, with the last-place finisher eliminated. In sports, this type of contest is called "last man standing". A few informal "shootout" golf events use some variation of this. Sometimes a round is announced as a surprise "non-elimination," in which the losing contestant remains in play, but is given a new handicap. Often that handicap results in their elimination at the next opportunity-- but sometimes, they overcome the handicap and return to a competitive position in the pack. And that's the kind of drama that reality show producers just love. Contrast Voted Off the Island, where you are eliminated by your fellow contestants in a vote.
