Maybe it sounds like a dumb twist, but how many times have teams been eliminated due to bad flights or cabs by no fault of their own?

The team with Save immediately becomes a big target for all the other teams.

Also, wouldn't Phil reveal the twists (if any) when the teams are there?

There's no teams there, so I don't think Phil would reveal any twists before the teams arrive.
You are the last team to arrive.
This is a Philmination leg, so I'm sorry to tell you that you have been Philiminated from the race.

Also, the save could possibly need to be handed in before the teams are told their placement. (spec.)

How about a penalty come with the Save though.  It works like your own personal non-elimination Leg.  You still get a Speed Bump, etc.

It's not a bad idea to consider though. Teams would have to earn it though, like a super hard Fast Forward in the first Leg.  They have the choice to go for it, but would it be worth it?

Yeah :) A Fast Forward but the prize (instead of skipping all tasks) is the Save Pass thing that would save them from elimination.

Might be money or time penalty. No way they can do Speedbump because they do not know which leg the save will be used.

Yeah, so an automatic U-Turn or Marked for Elimination.

I think the crowd is parting - maybe to let teams through?
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

It's probably for the teams entering the plaza for Phil's first spiel, then run-up the stairs :D
