Ever wonder what happens the teams who are eliminated from The Amazing Race do between the time they are eliminated and the group appearance at the finish line? Why, they go to Elimination Station of course. Sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock segment, doesn’t it?

Elimination Station in another nation

Relaxing in comfort, oh what a sensation

Waiting to hear of other teams’ frustrations

Elimination Station is a luxurious house in Acapulco, Mexico, where teams are sequestered after being eliminated from The Amazing Race. Teams live here together until the final leg of the race when they are flown to the finish line to cheer and congratulate the winning team.

Beekeepers Arthur and Anita, the first couple eliminated from this season’s race, couldn’t believe it when they saw the house in Acapulco. They decided that being the first team eliminated had its benefits, as they got their choice of bedrooms.

A new episode of Elimination Station is posted on CBS’s website after week’s episode of The Amazing Race has aired across the country.
