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-- butopportunity—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.
