The Tribe Has Spoken: These TV Catchphrases Need To Be Fired

This guy (above) coaches men on how to pick up ladies. But do you know any women who would date a guy with a hat like that??



When Survivor began in 2000, it spawned a catchphrase that would become a part of pop-culture vernacular: “The Tribe Has Spoken.” And to be fair, it was a pretty good elimination line, considering the premise of the show.
Since that time, scores of competition-style reality shows have booted people off with lines that are lame, that beat around the bush, or that are just straight-up uncreative. Sure, most of these phrases are probably designed to leave the rejects with some dignity, but let’s face it: How much dignity do you really have if you sign up for shows like these?
The worst we’ve heard in a while – from VH1's Glam God – was our inspiration for this story. So, here are the shows with the worst elimination lines, and our suggestions for a replacement.
