Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\| ''[[The Amazing Race\|The last team to check in may be eliminated.]]''}} 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. Line 6: 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~~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.
