== Reality TV ==
* ''[[The Amazing Race]]'', the [[Trope Namer]], eliminates the pair of racers who finish last on each leg of the race.
* ''[[The Mole (TV series)|The Mole]]'' gives contestants a test of their knowledge about the Mole. The contestant with the lowest score (or lowest score and slowest time, in case of a tie) is eliminated.
* This trope actually predates competitive reality shows, having been in use on Adam Wade's version of ''Musical Chairs'', if not earlier.
* ''[[Estate of Panic (TV)|Estate of Panic]]'' has a ''double-elimination'' each round; the last person left in the room being searched, that round, is trapped there, while the player among those who escaped who found the least amount of money is sent home.
* ''[[The Biggest Loser]]'' has a variation; the two contestants who lose the least weight are voted on by the others to decide who goes home (with least weight lost as a tiebreaker).
** And the occasional red line thrown in, which is an auto-elimination instead of a vote. This is usually coupled with a yellow line like above.
Line 28:
== Game Shows ==
* On the short lived late 70s revival of ''Jeopardy!'', the contestant with the lowest amount of money at the end of the first game was eliminated and only the other two went on to the "Double Jeopardy" round.
* ''[[Win Ben SteinsStein's Money]]'' eliminates the lowest-scoring contestant after the first round and puts their "winnings" back into Ben's pool for the next round.
 
== Live Action TV ==
Line 34:
 
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[Tales From the Pit (Webcomic)|Tales From the Pit]]'' uses it for [http://tumblr.com/xfd2ohuzty a one-off gag].
