Finish Blocks
Used in the First Season of the US revival and the UK revival, the final obstacle in the Eliminator takes the form of a wall of foam blocks. The logo of the show is displayed on both sides. The winner is the first contender to break the center line of the blocks. On the other side of the blocks is a short drop (approximately four feet) onto crash pads. In the UK revival, the landing zone for the finish blocks is the same as the landing zone for the zipline, so several contenders have been forced to wait at the top of the Travelator platform until the landing area was clear before finishing the race.

Famous quotes containing the words finish and/or blocks:
“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)
“The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
and overrules the oncoming roar
of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
