Dawson had the families leave after they lost.
Except during the primetime all-star specials, when he'd invite the losing team to stick around and root for the winners as they played Fast Money.
Combs had them stay.
Although during the first few weeks, they would leave after Ray said his goodbyes to them...after he started having them stay, however, he became insistent on it, often telling the losing fam to \"stay here\" or \"stay right here\" 2 or 3 times during his goodbyes.
