I like Mug's theory of winning the $2 million dollars prize too. You must win the very first leg of the race and the very last leg.

They haven't gotten the Early Show payout in the last 3 seasons, very sadly. With a change in hosts and producers, The Early Show seems to have given that up.
And Mug's theory...IS correct. ;)

Is it actually correct? And the 2,000,000 prize money is bad anyway, should have been used to make TAR good again. been crap for the last 2 seasons

TAR was never crap. :hrt:

Correct. There are better seasons for sure, but not one was a true letdown, at least in my opinion. On the other hand, Season 19 and 18 are probably my least favorite seasons. :(
Magnus:
We should have expected that they won't guarantee two million with no strings attached.
I still wish they would allow a team to win more depending on how many legs they won. For me Dave and Rachel deserved more than teams like Eric and Danielle and Dan and Jordan. At least they started giving away some great cash prizes for leg winners :colors

I don't think the 2nd million dollars from the $2 million prize really comes out of the coffers of WRP.
The 1st $1 million is a fixed cost, but the second million is conditional and isn't necessarily paid out.
If they have to pay to out the 2nd million it comes from a contest insurance company like this (http://www.worldwidespecialrisks.co.uk/sports) who underwrites the risk.
Basically they calculate what the odds are of having to pay the million and charge a premium to the contests producers - WRP.

Now THAT is interesting!! :yess:
Thanks WP!!
theschnauzers:
Let's see, of the 20 seasons, the winner of the first leg won the Race in season 1, season 10, season 13, season 15, season 19, and season 20.
Odds based on all seasons: 6 of 20
Odds based on 10 most recent seasons: 4 of 10
Odds based on seasons since reduced legs from 13 to 12 (season 13-20): 4 of 8
If they're trying to motivate teams, I fail to see how that would happen after the first leg if only the one team can win the higher amount.
