They never actually reached the mat (although Phil told them to come on down) since they themselves said that they had not found the detour clue. They had to go back and complete the task before being allowed to check in. This is not a penalty. They realized that they had not finished the detour and so went back to do it and that they were in the wrong place (they thought they were following another team to the detour location)

The question said:

Brent & Caite did "arrive" at the pitstop and were not allowed to check in. (Proven by the converse, if they had been allowed to check in, they would have stayed.)
georgiapeach:
There was no "allowing" going on :lol3:
chill_sd:
True, when Brent & Caite first arrived at the pit stop, they were not allowed to check in.
And I got it wrong, so I'm furious at Brent & Caite for once again arriving at the pit stop incorrectly. Isn't this 3 out of 6 times? At least this time, they weren't actively seeking the pit stop, they just happened upon it.

Phil nor anyone else did not "allow" Brent and Caite to check in when they foolishly followed the other team to the pit stop. But they turned around of their own accord when they realized they were at the pit stop and not at the detour. So nobody said they could not check in nor where they penalized for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
The only time we see Jeff and Jordan before Dan and Jordan reach the Roadblock is when they leave the French pit stop in a normal manner and then in the car driving to Reims in a normal manner. They're not being idiots in my mind. Now the question has a cavaet"OK do we hear them talk?) Yes we hear them talk and Jordan demonstrates again her lack of knowledge confusing Joan of Arc with Noah and his arc. But is this being an idiot? Or just the usual dumb blonde syndrome? I think the correct answer to this question is that the Roadblock is shown first.
