Amazing Race leg money

(1/4) > >>

RichInSydney:
I don't know how the teams travel in so many cabs during the length of the race and still have enough money to survive?

I know it will be different in each country but my travel experience has discovered the Taxis are expensive!

I know there are the odd team that gets into trouble with limited cash in some seasons, but the majority cruise by driving over 100kms in some legs and have cash left over?

Does anyone know if they get extra assistance with money during the race? Surely meals must be payed for right?

georgiapeach:
Nope. No food, no water, no nothing, except the rather sparse rations at Pitstops. Many times they have to decide re eating or having enough to get a room, or pay a taxi.

BUT, they do beg in airports...I think some dude gave Sarah $500!! So they can get extra along the way.

RichInSydney:
So at the end of the leg they don't get put up in a hotel and given dinner???

And I think I read somewhere ages ago, they have to stop to exchange their US currency. Is that right?

georgiapeach:
They get put up...might be in a tent, or a flea bag hotel, or a great hotel...it varies. And yes they get a meal, but the spreads from the earlier seasons are no more from what I hear. As the race progresses, I have heard that they get pretty stingy with the food...so as to keep everyone stressed.

Glamazon Racer:
Peach, you mentioned Sarah got $500. Which Sarah? I'm thinking Peter & Sarah (for obvious reasons) but can you please confirm. Thanks! :jam:
