Not sure if they still do it or not but in the past eliminated teams were sequestered somewhere until the final episode. From what I remember all eliminated teams except for one have been sequestered. The only team not to do this was a team who was eliminated at the starting line. They decided to go home and played no further part of the race.
Not in the celebrity edition last year though. Only the final three teams made it to the finish line at Kuala Lumpur.
Celeb edition didn’t have any teams on the finish line
And I think Season 6 (last normie season) only had the last few teams (from an absurdly large cast of 20 teams).
But Covid was a factor though. Teams had to drop out completely or drop out and come back so the whole season was a bit of a mess.

The Sunday Telegraph today has a double page interview with Natalie Bassingthwaighte, who teamed up with sister Melinda Sheldrick, and chose Black Dog Institute as their charity. Nat said that this season had been so under wraps that her two other sisters, their parents and kids still had no idea about where Nat and Mel went and what they did, so they would all be watching the show as a family when it starts on September 9.
Another interview with Nat, this time in TV Week.
The article mentions that teams in this season visited Argentina, South Africa, Namibia and Thailand.
