ดิอะเมซิ่งเรซ 17
สถานี "คนคัดออก"

ซีบีเอสได้โพสต์วีดีโอขนาดสั้นลงบนเว็บไซด์หลังจากออกอากาศตอนนั้นๆ จบแล้วเพื่อให้ดูว่าทีมที่ถูกคัดออกไปแล้ว จะทำอะไรบ้างขณะที่อยู่ที่บ้านพัก โดยฤดูกาลนี้ทีมที่ถูกคัดออกจะถูกส่งไปยังบ้านพักที่ประเทศเม็กซิโก
After Leg 1, Ron and Tony were the first team eliminated and sent to the villa.  They expressed their disappointment in being the first eliminated team, but decided to make the most of their situation.  After they settled into the villa, they decided to go kayaking, remarking how much easier it was compared to the coracle that they unsuccessfully manned during the race.  Afterward, Ron and Tony hung out by the pool and tried to predict who would be the first to join them in the villa.  While they hoped that the next eliminated team wouldn't be Chad and Stephanie or Jill and Thomas, they agreed that it really could be anyone.
After Leg 2, Andie and Jenna were the second team eliminated and sent to the villa.  Ron and Tony welcomed them, glad to finally have another team in the villa to keep them company.  Andie and Jenna revealed that while they are mother and daughter, they had also just recently met, which shocked and moved Ron and Tony.  Andie and Jenna talked in length about their relationship, with Andie revealing that she has 10 other children.  Afterward, the two eliminated teams went out to have dinner on the beach together.
Leg 3 was a non-elimination leg, hence no new teams were sent to the villa. Andie and Jenna were going to a salsa dancing class along with Ron and Tony. When they see them, Ron and Tony teach Andie and Jenna to do salsa dancing. Tony is an expert of Broadway dancing said by Andie. After salsa dancing, the next day Andie and Jenna were hanging out by the pool and discuss their relationship.
After Leg 4, Connor and Jonathan were the third team eliminated and sent to the villa. Prior to their arrival, Ron, Tony, Andie, and Jenna went on a whale shark watching excursion, but after Andie and Jenna became sick from the rough currents, everyone returned to the villa without seeing any. Afterward, Connor and Jonathan arrived and shared the song they sang for Phil when they were eliminated. Connor and Jonathan then recounted what had happened on their last leg, claiming that the remaining teams were starting to become more cutthroat -- news which disappointed Andie and Jenna.
After Leg 5, Katie and Rachel were the fourth team eliminated and sent to the villa. Before their arrival, the three eliminated teams went to Kings Bath, where legend holds that the King bathed his children. Afterward, the three teams, wanting another "fun" team to join them in the villa, speculated on who would show up next. Katie and Rachel arrived and immediately expressed how angry and disappointed they were to be eliminated, ignoring the other eliminated teams' attempts to comfort them. This irritated Ron and Tony, who claimed that Katie and Rachel's bitter attitudes were bringing a negative energy to the house. Later, Katie and Rachel admitted that they did enter the villa in a foul mood, but did not regret anything they had said, further bemoaning the fact that they were knocked out of the race.
Leg 6 was a non-elimination leg; hence, no new teams were sent to the villa. The group played a game of water volleyball together in the villa's pool. Afterward, they went to the beach. Katie and Rachel, still bitter about being eliminated, said that they did not want one of the remaining all-female teams to win the race, since they wanted to be the first all-female winners.
After Leg 7, Michael and Kevin were the fifth team eliminated and were sent to the villa. After the other teams went snorkeling during the day, Katie and Rachel continued to state that they wanted an all-female team (specifically Brook and Claire) to be eliminated next, as they still were upset that they personally would not be the first all-female team to win; the two girls were disappointed when they saw Michael and Kevin arrive. Kevin stated his disappointment at their elimination due to their hour-long penalty, while Michael joked that he was glad to finally be done racing. While alone, Kevin continued to say he wished they had not been eliminated so they could have potentially gone to Asia (specifically China) and have an advantage, but Michael told him not to dwell on it. The next day, the eliminated teams visited Punta Sur, where Katie and Rachel spoke with Michael and Kevin about their elimination. Michael told them that they should not dwell on their loss, and that it should be an experience that will help them by teaching them how to accept disappointments in life
After Leg 8, Gary and Mallory were the sixth team eliminated. The teams gathered around a phone, waiting for a call to see who was eliminated. Before the call, Jenna stated that she and Rachel had dreams the previous night that either Gary and Mallory or Brook and Claire were eliminated. Katie and Rachel stated, again, that they wanted Brook and Claire to be eliminated. Everyone was surprised when Gary and Mallory called, and told the teams that it was the hardest leg ever, and that they traveled for 16 hours and ended up losing to Nat and Kat with minutes to spare. After the call, the teams continued to comment on Katie and Rachel's obsession that an all-female team should not win the race this season. The next day, the eliminated teams went down to the docks to pick up an amberjack and then cook it in the traditional Mayan Tikin Xic style. Once the food was prepared, Andie told everyone that it reminded her of home and being with family, and that the eliminated teams were her subsitute family, and Connor joked that she was their substitute birth mom. Later, Ron and Tony spoke with Andie on her relationship with Jenna, and Andie said that whatever Jenna wanted to do from this point on was fine with her.
After Leg 9, Chad and Stephanie were the seventh team eliminated. Connor and Jonathan spoke about how they feel that the fact that they did not attend their graduation at Princeton University makes it better that they did not have the transition from college student into adulthood. Later, the eliminated teams went to a restaurant named Alux, built in a cenote, and Jenna had everyone around the table say what they learned from their time on the Race.
Leg 10 was a non-elimination leg, hence no new teams were sent to the villa. Chad & Stephanie called the villa after their elimination in leg 9 and told the other eliminated teams how the U-Turn affected their loss, and their engagement. Ron joked with them by asking if the elimination affected their engagement. The eliminated teams discussed who they wanted in the top 3, with Nat & Kat and Brook & Claire both mentioned, with jokes made towards Katie & Rachel's dislike that a girl-girl team might win and that it was not going to be them. Later, all the eliminated teams were getting ready to pack and to go to End City. Michael finally admitted to Kevin that if he were more confident in himself, they might have been able to go farther in the Race. Andie and Jenna were glad that they would be returning home soon, and Jenna expressed how she felt about her relationship with her biological mother. After the eliminated teams are leaving the villa, they fly to End City and speculated as to where do they think the final destination city would be, with guesses ranging from somewhere in Arizona to Seattle to New York City.
After Leg 11, Nick & Vicki were the eighth and final team eliminated. Elimination Station showed the five eliminated teams arriving at the End City in Los Angeles, California. After arriving in Los Angeles, the teams checked in to a hotel, settled into their rooms, and awaited the phone call from the eighth team eliminated. Ron commented that he and Tony are in their home city, and Kevin commented that there would be a lot of interesting things to do in Los Angeles, while also saying to his father what it would be like if they were still racing. Later, the teams gathered to get the call from the field to learn that Nick & Vicki had been eliminated due to Vicki having gotten sick the previous night. Nick said that he believed that Jill & Thomas would win the race, as they had been coming in first, but Vicki said that she thinks Nat & Kat will win. The joked that Rachel would attack either Brook & Claire or Nat & Kat if they came across the finish line first, although Rachel said she was no longer upset that a girl-girl team could win this season.
Leg 12 was the final leg of The Amazing Race 17. Elimination Station showed the Finish Line that takes place in Greystone Mansion. Gary & Mallory, Chad & Stephanie, and Nick & Vicki reunited with the other eliminated teams. Andie asked to see Stephanie's engagement ring, and she told the others that they had gotten in first place that leg and won a trip to Belize for their honeymoon. While waiting for the remaining teams to cross the finish line, Tony led the eliminated teams in a dance. All the eliminated teams were waiting to find out who they think will cross the Finish Line first and win the $1 million. When they find out that Nat & Kat crossed the finish line first and win the $1 million, everyone congratulated them on being the first girl-girl team to win the $1 million and the race. Rachel, although still upset that she and Katie were not that team, said she was still happy for their win. The teams then greeted Brook & Claire as they crossed the finish line in 2nd Place, with everyone noting that the top two teams were both women teams. When Jill & Thomas finally crossed the finish line in 3rd Place, Thomas conceded that even though he and Jill were top competitors, Nat & Kat and Brook & Claire were truly the top two teams. Teams expressed their opinions about the final three teams at the Finish Line along with their joys and disappointments about the race, and the learning experiences they could draw from it.
