ElimiDate is an American reality television dating show in which one contestant chooses between four contestants of the opposite sex by eliminating them one by one in three rounds. On August 11, 2006, it was announced that the show would not be renewed for the 2006–07 season due to low ratings,[1] and it went out of syndication after September 5, 2006.

The syndicated program premiered on 17 September 2001 and was produced by AND Syndicated Productions in association with Telepictures Productions, and distributed by Telepictures Distribution (2001–03) and Warner Bros. Television Distribution (2003–06). It was produced by Alex Duda. The narrator was Dale Inghram.

Nationwide in the United States, it was broadcast on cable late nights on Superstation WGN. ElimiDate was also available on AOL's free video-streaming channel, In2TV, until it was shut down.

The show was popular due to being designed to be aired around or past midnight, when its target audience was just coming home from being out or ending their studies for the evening. It developed a cult following of sorts among college students nationwide.[citation needed]
