Line 11:
Not to be confused with [[Shocking Elimination]], although the reality of some people's elimination can be just as shocking as elimination of the early favourite to win. If the player asks to leave, but is eliminated under normal circumstances anyways, it's [[Suicide By Cop]]. (Namely, asking to be nominated&evicted)
{{examples
* ''[[The Amazing Race]]'' (US)
** The threat of being "evacuated" has been cited by contestants several times, the first being Steve and Dave in Season 4. Dave wrenched his knee badly while doing a glacier trek on the first episode, and rather than allow the show's medics the chance to declare him unfit to continue, he declined medical attention. It was, it turns out, badly enough damaged that he required surgery to repair it once he got home. Despite that, they made it several more legs before they were eliminated.
Line 28:
** Season 3: The Russian Bar Trio had to withdraw due to injury. This injury led to Donald Braswell re-entering the competition and later making it to the final 5.
* ''[[
** In the middle of the second episode of season 3, the girls received an envelope eliminating Magdalena, no explanation given.
** In season 5, during the makeover, Cassandra was frustrated that her hair was cut very short. Tyra was still not pleased and asked to cut her hair even shorter, to which Cassandra refused - and quit the show.
Line 44:
** Khloe Kardashian got thrown out of ''Celebrity Apprentice 2'' when Trump found out that she had a DUI conviction, and had taken a break from her community service assignments to do the show. Dennis Rodman had also been fired the previous episode for his constant drinking, though that more directly affected his performance in the tasks.
** The latest civilian season gave us Anand, who- in a relatively rare occurrence for reality TV- was expelled for cheating. During the sixth task, in which he was project manager, he sent out a bunch of text messages to his friends in an attempt to sell chariot rides. Nobody responded, but his team won anyway. Trump eventually found out about it, and it hit the fan at the start of episode 9. When confronted about the texts, Anand actually ''lied right to Trump's face'', saying that he hadn't sent any, only coming clean when Trump read some of them aloud to everyone else. His elimination still technically counts as a firing, but it's safe to say it wouldn't have happened were it not for the texts, so it's going here.
*** Anand was actually the second Non Gameplay casualty from that task. The first came in episode 7, when it turned out that Mahsa had blabbed to the men's team about how much money the women had made, prior to the boardroom for that task. When it was brought up in the boardroom, Mahsa tried to claim that she had only said it in response to opposing team-member Clint telling her what the men had made. This led to Clint and the other guys storming back into the boardroom and calling Mahsa a liar, which was backed up by ''Mahsa's own team-mates''. This finally caused Mahsa to go crazy, drop a [[Cluster F
** ''Celebrity Apprentice 4'' had NeNe Leakes storm off the show for initially unspecified reasons. Trump called her later in the episode, at which point she basically accused him of having a hard-on for fellow contestant Star Jones, and told him to go fuck himself.
Line 140:
* ''I Love New York''
** Buddha got kicked out for physically assaulting Tailor Made. Subverted, in that [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|New York herself later got him to be let back in.]] Needless to say, when Buddha and Tailor Made ended up as the final two...things were a bit tense.
* ''I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!'' (although, to be fair, the possibility of people quitting is inherent in the title)
