The Amazing Race Elimination Station

If you haven't discovered The Amazing Race's Elimination Station on the CBS Amazing Race website, well, it's worth a look.

Each week you get to see that week's eliminated team arrive at the Elimination Station. And you get to see a lot of drama between the eliminated teams and between some of the teammates who are getting exhausted from having so much quality time together without a break.

When the Blondes, Christie & Jodi, arrived all Amanda & Kris wanted to know was who U-Turned them. They guessed every other team before ending up with the right one, that being Luke & Margie. Amanda & Kris were shocked that they'd been U-Turned by the deaf kid and his mom.

Hillbilly couple Steve & Linda have trouble fitting in with the group and their resentment boiled over into a big brouhaha. It was all pretty amusing to watch.

Which led me to think that CBS is really missing an opportunity here. With The Amazing Race now solidly being a Top 20 show I think they should milk its popularity with a half hour Elimination Station show following each week's race. I'd watch.
