Walls
The American version of the Eliminator often incorporated 8 foot high walls into the Eliminator. The walls made their debut in Season 3, with one wall there for the entire season, and a second wall (this one with a step at the base) being added partway through. In Season 4, the wall was switched from an opaque wall to a wall covered in transparent plexiglass. All of the walls in the original series were not vertical, but steeply inclined. The first season of the revival used an 8 foot vertical wall at the beginning of the course. All of the walls used had ropes to assist the contenders if they needed them.

“Do you know what Agelisas said, when he was asked why the great city of Lacedomonie was not girded with walls? Because, pointing out the inhabitants and citizens of the city, so expert in military discipline and so strong and well armed: “Here,” he said, “are the walls of the city,” meaning that there is no wall but of bones, and that towns and cities can have no more secure nor stronger wall than the virtue of their citizens and inhabitants.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
“Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.”
