The Save, introduced in The Amazing Race 25, allows a team to rescue themselves from elimination if they arrive last at the Pit Stop on an elimination leg.

It is similar to the Salvage Pass where the team had to power to save the team from elimination. In its initial appearance, the Save was awarded to the team who arrived first at the Pit Stop on the first leg and it had to be used before Leg 9.[1]

The Save went unaired for The Amazing Race 26, as no team chose to do both sides of the Detour for leg 3 in order to obtain it.[2]

If a team attempts to use the Save on a Non-Elimination Leg, it will be returned to them, and the team will still be penalized with a Speed Bump on the next leg as usual.
