tanbuns:
If I am not mistaken, on the last non-elimination leg last season, no one lost money. But that leg was next to last, and this is 2nd from last.
So right now, I am leaning towards the last place team losing money.
If I am wrong, please someone correct me.
puddin:
its the tricky wording I dont trust , the last place team wont "lose" money right ? Phil takes it ? *(^
or am I over analysing MW {l{
tanbuns:
If that is the logic you are using, I think you are over-analyzing. /*^
ETA ... I think that is just the wording that MW used. I don't think he was trying to trick us. But if you still want to pick NO, then you can plead your case in the forums!
puddin:
^/^ but when you "lose" money its misplaced or falls out of your pocketor you gambled it away..lost a bet ? Oh never mind (%# my brain is fried c/* Fine you all win .. |#' . changing my pick
--- Quote ---Non-elimination rounds
Each race has pre-determined non-elimination rounds in which the last team to arrive at the Pit Stop is not eliminated. Instead, they are allowed to continue on with the race. Non-elimination rounds generally come later in the race, and racers are not explicitly told which legs they are. Starting with the fifth season, the last clue before the Pit Stop always ends with the statement, "The last team may be eliminated." Previously, the last clue ended with the statement, "The last team will be eliminated", except in non-elimination legs, thus allowing the racers to figure out that the current leg was non-elimination.
Also, with the fifth season of The Amazing Race, the rules concerning non-elimination rounds were changed. Instead of simply giving the final team a free pass to continue with the race, they are now penalized in an attempt to decrease their odds of winning the next leg. All their collected money is taken from them, and no money is handed to them at the beginning of the next leg. This forces the team to find their own money to complete the next leg in order to stay in the race. If they manage to stay in the race, their funding goes back to normal for the subsequent legs, provided they don't come in last in another non-elimination round.

Amazing Race 5,next to last Episode ~
--- Quote ---In the end, dating couple Colin & Christie couldn't quite make up the deficit caused by the Yield, as they finished in last place behind Brandon & Nicole. The stunned, jubilant dating couple received a pardon from Phil, though, as this was the last of the pre-determined non-elimination legs. Stripped of all money, Colin & Christie remained in the Race. A tearful Christie remarked, "All I've wanted to do really is just run the Race until the very end." On his former allies, Colin added, "Having Chip & Kim Yield us was definitely an eye-opener. We trusted them, and they burned us. It's on."
