We hear them talk, That is all we needed. :lol:
Coutzy:
Brent and Caite is very dicey. They did step on the mat, and then they realised their mistake before Phil informed them.
imo, they were never disallowed the check in, because Phil normally says "You are the x team to arrive... however, for reason z you have received a penalty/must go back"

I agree with Coutzy. I re-watched the part and they did step on the mat, they probably saw Carol and Brandy's detour clue and realized that they didn't have one and then went back without being told to do so. I personally believe that it shouldn't be counted as a penalty or not allowed to check in because they went through the own accord and told by someone else.

The question was not were they disallowed to check in but were they not allowed to check in.
Ask yourself this question, "Were Brent and Caite allowed to check in when they first arrived at the pitstop?" The answer is obviously, "No." Therefore they were "not allowed to check in at the Pit Stop when they first arrive(d)" which is how the game question was stated.
PS - The game question said, "get a penalty" or "not allowed to check in," so there doesn't need to be any question about a penalty.

If you look carefully (and I have rerun that scene several times frame by frame) Brent and Caite never actually stepped on the mat after Phil told them to come on down (he said nothing about getting on the mat with Brandy and Carol) When Brent turns to leave after realizing that they did not have a Detour clue (Brandy, by the way, does not have a detour clue in her hand, she has the route info clue (blue) telling them to drive to the pit stop)_and as the camera pulls back you can see that his foot is on the grass above the mat. After Phil tells them to come on down, nothing more is said by anyone except Brent who says they do not have the Detour clue so must go back, which the do on their own and wall back up the hill.
So there is no penalty given. And nothing is said or done related to not ALLOWING Brent and Caite to check in at the pit stop.
So the correct answer to this question, in my opinion, is a resounding NO.
Now I think we have whipped this poor dog of a question to death, and we should leave it in the hands of the capable MSwood to make the final call
