International Differences
The layout for the Eliminator courses varied greatly over the years across the different territories. The American version was the only show to have Gladiators form part of the event for a short period. In the UK, from series five to series seven, the male and female contenders who clocked up the quickest Eliminator time for their gender during the series were given a cash prize. Although often referred to as 'The Eliminator' most promotional material and event cards for the shows visually label the event simply as 'Eliminator'.

Famous quotes containing the word differences:
“The mother must teach her son how to respect and follow the rules. She must teach him how to compete successfully with the other boys. And she must teach him how to find a woman to take care of him and finish the job she began of training him how to live in a family. But no matter how good a job a woman does in teaching a boy how to be a man, he knows that she is not the real thing, and so he tends to exaggerate the differences between men and women that she embodies.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
