Basing it on statistics (correct me if I'm wrong
), the 30-minute penalty
"eliminated" around 57.1% of the teams that finished last after being saved the previous leg, followed by the Speed Bump (44.4%), no penalty (28.6% -- wow
) & the begging (33.3%, 11.1% & 0% separately, counting all begging penalties as one, 12.5%).
