Having said that I really liked that kind of elimination, (and not because I won), although I wish I could have seen what it looked like from the audience.

I think that really long eliminations are mostly not enjoyable for the audience and seeing improvisers fighting for their survival is a very different energy than watching people being supportive and playful in scenes.

It makes the audience uncomfortable if they think you feel bad about being eliminated. Stay happy, especially when getting eliminated. Stop sending off danger signals that everyone in the room might get eaten by lions.

Even though it was clearly a tricky sort of elimination, I give credit to Sara, Mike and Asaf for being good natured and positive about their elimination.

I was just thinking of a game that is usually a warm up, but would be a good game for eliminations with lots of people. I'm not sure the correct name of the game, but what you do is stand in a tight circle with your eyes to the ground, then at the count of three, look up and try to make eye contact with one person in the circle. If the person you choose is looking back at you, you both have to scream and you're out of the circle. You keep doing this until there is only one player left. I think you would only want to do this with an odd number of players if you were going to do it on stage.

I believe that is called "Jeepers Creepers".
