Do the losing teams get any cash prizes?
Yes, the losing teams do get small cash prizes, staggered according to how long the team stayed in the race. For some reason, these amounts are kept very secret (much more so than the Sequesterville locations), but we have heard rumors that the second-place prize for some seasons has been $25,000 or $50,000, and third place was $10,000 or $25,000.
According to Aaron of TAR6, here's the prize breakdown:
1st- 1,000,000
2nd- 25,000
3rd- 10,000
4th- 7,000
5th- 6,000
6th- 5,000
7th- 4,000
8th- 3,500
9th- 3,000
10th- 2,500
11th- 1,500
This is, however, unverified
At the top it has this so the information is very dated
(02.11.2005)
Please note, this informaion should be correct as of TAR6

This question has been raised since AR6 and my recollection (without any idea where to find it in RFF archives) is that second place was improved to $100,000 and third place to some number well above $10,000.

--- Quote from: Prophet on December 17, 2011, 03:36:42 PM ---So if you donate $200,000 to charity you could recoup that in an income tax refund which may help to pay for the money you lost to taxes and you end up closer to a million dollars in the end?

Taxes differ according to individual situations, but donating $200,000 to charity means that you start with $200,000. At any marginal tax rate below 100% you end up with more money by NOT making the donation. Also, the probability of getting into a significantly lower marginal tax bracket as a result of the donation are close to nil.

A question:
On this wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Race_(U.S._TV_series)), in the award section, it says that the episode for the emmy in 2005 was We're Moving Up the Food Chain. Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't seem to find it in any of the seasons. :cmas5
