Actually, he was right in attempting it in theory; it allows them to A) come in first and B) possibly knock off Nick/Starr.
Their problem was not leaving once they found out what it entailed.

According to Terrence and Sarah's interview, it was because they were physically able to go back and do the task, as it was the last thing prior to a pit stop.

They probably impose the 30 min. penalty when teams are too far away for a re-do and/or nobody would have enough $ left for a r/t taxi in order to re-do the missed step (or can't hail a taxi at all).

Phil was punishing them, by making them walk in those boots.

They would've been eliminated anyway. Because for all 8 teams to arrive within 30 minutes, they had to have been pretty close and chances are that had they gone back to the last clue then walked back again they still would've come last. I agree with Oowat in that making them go back was...

I think it has to do with time lost from misreading the clue. The typical penalty seems to be 30 min. My guess is that if it would be more than 30 minutes, they give them that penalty.

That's how I figured it.

It's all editing. They can still edit to make the ending suspenseful. I just hate the inconsistency of the rule!

I'd rather see Sarah/Terrence then those 2 dumb tarts!

Ok, how come Dandrew gets to go back and do it again? I remember in AR4, Richen/Chip had to stay and wait for 30min? I thought it was the same in AR10 for those 2 gay dudes?
