No, it's not necessarily a boat load of fun, continuing when you're getting your boat kicked, but then again, it doesn't have to take an hour a turn. Also, you can try different things out, riskier / experimental than you normally would.

Yeah I agree. Once you realize that you're no longer in the running to win the game, you can still take the opportunity to try out all sorts of interesting weird things, or play kingmaker by hurting someone else's chances to win and so forth.
