Are teams who arrive in last place in a non-elimination leg penalized in any way?
In the first four seasons, last-place teams in non-eliminations legs were not punished in any way; it was just considered a lucky break. However, starting in TAR5, these last-place teams were ordered to surrender all remaining cash in their possession. In addition, they were given no money at the start of the next leg, so they were dead broke going into that leg, and had to beg or barter for money or services.
