I wonder if any money was contributed at all? They did put contribution envelopes in the ditty bags.

Supposedly there is a Yahoo statement on the issue somewhere or another, I remember it being referenced in a reality tv podcast, that states that two driving reasons were behind Yahoo's contribution to both teams - the first was the insistence by Yahoo's staff of there being no pitch for the charity, the second being that no one sent in a donation from their event.
11k - that still disturbs me as being depressingly small. The series merges together a bit for me, but I could have sworn that they had done a charity auction task already and should know how to push for good 'donations.'
I'm still disappointed that Rebecca got rolled so badly by Yahoo over pitching for the charity, especially with her extensive fund raising experience. She should have secured a guaranteed contribution from Yahoo in exchange for the no-pitch at the very least, if not contributions from those companies that gave items for the goodie bags.
To me, the end tasks were a complete wash. Neither particularly impressed me, and I have to fall back on the rest of the series, and there I think Randal was a runaway winner.
