Introduced in Season 5, a team spared by a Non-Elimination Leg would have to Surrender Money. Teams were forced to relinquish all the money that they had accumulated up to that point. They were also not allowed to build funds until the next leg started for them and wouldn't receive money at the start of the next leg. It was still used in some international versions of the show.
