== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]].
* ''[[American Idol]]'': Audience votes for their favorite to stay in.
* "House votes" on whether to evict a cast member would occasionally crop up during early seasons of proto-reality show ''[[The Real World]]'', but weren't a regular part of the show's structure.
** Likewise, later seasons of ''[[Road Rules]]'' would have it so that if the team failed one too many individual challenges, they'd have to vote off a member.
* ''[[So You Think You Can Dance]]'': Audience votes for their favorite to stay in.
* ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]'': a complicated scoring hybrid, both the judges' scores and the TV audience votes (via phone, text message, or website) determine who goes home. In case of a tie, the audience vote is the tie-breaker.
Line 17:
* ''[[Hell's Kitchen|Hells Kitchen]]'': Fellow competitors vote for who should leave the kitchen, but [[The Mean Brit]] has the final say. He's even added people to the chopping block, or straight-out kicked people without even letting them get their say. On the other hand, on a couple of occasions he's mixed it up by asking one of the losing team members who s/he thinks should go.
** ''[[The Biggest Loser]]'' works the other way: an objective weigh-in determines who will be liable for elimination, then the losing team has to vote off one of their own members. The winning team has no say in the matter.
* ''[[Big Brother]]''. Most nations have this as something the viewing public does via a phone line; the US version had it for the first season, but switched over to an internal system among the contestants for later seasons.
* ''Canada's Worst Driver'' is an inversion; a team of judges vote on who 'graduates', getting their keys or license back and leaving the Driver Rehabilitation Center...in this Reality Show, leaving is a GOOD thing. The longer you're on, the worse you are!
** Yes, this means the winner of the series is decided in the second episode (which is the earliest someone can graduate from rehab), but the whole point of watching the show is to see who the loser is.
Line 27:
** [[Lampshaded]] repeatedly, but directly referenced in dialogue in "Mirror, Mirror."
