What does second place win on the show?
While it’s only a small percentage of the winning team’s prize, they aren’t left short of money by ending the show as runners up.
The third place team win $10,000, while the first team to be eliminated are sent home with $1,500. So all participants leave with some cash!
For the 32nd season, married couple Hung and Chee placed second.
