Wrong! Because this is ''not'' a normal game show, the producers have (supposedly) come up with 101 different ways to eject eliminated contestants from this show, whose levels of ridiculousness increase every round. All are hopefully guaranteed to ensure [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] for the contestants, and [[Hilarity Ensues|Ensued Hilarity]] for those watching it at home. These have included, among other things, being flown off strapped to the top of a biplane, doing a stuntman styled drive over a ramp (complete with explosion), riding a pickup truck going off a cliff while attached to a cord on a helicopter (with an explosion below when the truck lands), being blasted down a zip line on a jetpack (which involves rockets, and may qualify as an explosion) or being blasted into the air with the use of explosives under your chair (which may also qualify as an explosion). You see where we're going here?
And then for the final four, [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]]. The final question is played while contestants stand on platforms that give way when a player is revealed to have answered incorrectly. The platforms, are of course, high above a pool of water. [[Russian Roulette (TV series)|Sound familiar?]]

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: One of the penalties for answering incorrectly is being dumped into shark-infested waters. Properly chummed and everything. No safety gear, either, and they appear to be [[Left for Dead]] as the ship speeds away.* [[Shout-Out]]: The in-house monster truck is named [[Chuck Norris|Truck Norris]].
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Ejections (barring the final round's ten-story drop) tend to involve (as Jeff puts it) '''''fiery explosions'''''. Cause why not?!

** It was a game for [[The BBC]], so of course the champion only won £10,000 (about $16,000 US) because ''[[Doctor Who]]'' is the only BBC show [[No Budget|legally allowed to have a decent budget]], and they must have (again) wasted their budget sending the contestants to film in Argentina.
** Most of the ejections involved being dropped into a pool. (the U.S. version saves that for the final round)
