Ten accidentally spoils ending of The Amazing Race elimination

Nail-biting endings to reality TV episodes really can be, well, nail-biting, can’t they?

That is unless the TV network’s own publishing platform accidentally reveals the conclusion hours before it actually airs.

And that’s what happened to Ten this week when its publishing platform 10 Daily revealed who would be eliminated from the race hours before the episode was available for viewing.

TV Blackbox’s screenshots show an article went live mid-afternoon, with a headline and video revealing who would be eliminated that night.

According to TV Blackbox, it was a time-stamping error. Argh, wibbly wobbly timey wimey, stuff, the ruiner of Wednesday night nail-biting competitions everywhere.
