Slowhatch:
Fwiw, they were eliminated at the Rizhsky station: compare the facade and the Holiday Inn to the pictures here. The kiosk reads 20:54.

I can offer you a hypothesis. That is that they wanted to maintain the suspense of Andrew and Dan vs. Toni/Dallas and Ken/Tina right up until the 10th pitstop. Until then, we had no reference times and could only hypothesize about how the various teams were doing. By cutting off vital start times, CBS/World Race Productions perhaps made a statement about who is in control. It was unprecedented and hopefully will never happen again.

Thanks Slowhatch :<3

From this interview with Tina & Ken (thanks peach)

--- Quote ---Sometimes, the race action is affected by off-camera issues. In Sunday's episode, the teams gathered their first clue on a Russian submarine. But Tina noted that when she and Ken arrived at the boat, the tourist attraction wasn't open. By the time it was opened three hours later, all the other teams had caught up, eliminating their advantage.

here is a photo of Toni and Dallas waiting ...

You're Gonna Get Me Killed" -- Mother/son team Dallas (left) and Toni find a Route Marker by finding the senior sonar officer from The Hunt for Red October aboard this famous Soviet submarine anchored in the Moscow River, on THE AMAZING RACE 13

Kiwi Jay:

Maybe the PitStop was not the usual 12 hours.
