Most importantly of all, shouldn't they have given the competitors a phone charger?
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I assumed it was the final finish line. If, every(ish) leg of the race, a team gets eliminated, by the end, I'd assume there'd only be a couple.
eta: Kevin! I had nearly that same thought: "Wouldn't the phones have run out of charge by now?"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The phone chargers are implied. They'll never show us the piss jars either but we know they must be there- can't waste time on pit stops!

where the hell does all the money come from?
Didn't Corinna or Tully mention "sponsors" when talking about what was on the flash card?

Kathy - yep, I twigged on that. I wondered in what way they sponsor. People? Time? Money? Mobile phones?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Right now, my kittens are on the race being run by ex-employees of CTU. It explains the phones and everything!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Maybe it's a very high stakes gambling group. Each "sponsor" secretly encourages or coerces someone to run as their contestant?

I don't think it's stated baby!Corrina was at the finish line. I think. I might be wrong.
Corinna said that she was standing on the other side of the finish line.

I'm guessing each team has its own sponsor, whether they know it or not. Each team has a different reason for competing and each sponsor believes that their team's reason is the one that will make them secure the win. Love vs. Revenge vs. Greed vs. Girlpower ... I haven't got the whole thing worked out yet.
