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:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
