In terms of layout or actual contests? No matter, you can have both!

Layout: 1997-1999, since I remember that one the most

Contest: Eunice vs Kerryn in the 94 final

Roger vs Simon in 1992, all the way back in series one. Gladiator's first and only dead heat as that was the only series where we didn't need to declare a winner in the heats.

As for course layout I really liked the trapeze's but hated the small cargo net and while the slide and scramble sheet were visually stunning I disliked the lack of a balance beam in 1992 so I couldn't really pick a favourite year. My ideal layout would :

High-Low Hurdles
Cargo Net
Slide
Scramble Sheet
Hand-ladder/Hand-bike
Trapeze
Cargo Net
Zip Line
Balance Beam
Travelator
Rope Swing and Paper Burst (with a full sheet of paper - none of this cutting holes in it malarkey.

I was going to write Peggy (USA) vs. Jackie (UK) in IG2, which was for me the most awesome, heartstopping Eliminator of all time - but then I re-read the title so from the UK domestic series I would pick...

The 1995 final - Mandy vs. Janet - huge tension throughout and a fantastic neck and neck finish - it didn't come any more dramatic than that in the women's Elimators. For the men I thought the 1996 final between Mark and Buster was great - Mark albsolutely annihilated the course!

I also thought Kerry Shacklock vs. Julie Hall in Series 6 and Mark Whitehouse v. Colm Curran in Series 7 were great Eliminators with a thrilling finish.

Ideal Layout for me:
Hurdles
Up and over Cargo net
Rope
Handladder/bike
Rolling beams
Cargo net
Zip Line
Balance Beam
Travelator
Paper burst (with holes - easier to see who wins in a close situation)
