We wondered why some didn't choose that, too. Usually at least one team picks one of the alternate options, and you'd think the less athletic/coordinated ones would have gone with a less challenging (although potentially more time-consuming) challenge.
Oh, well. They can always pull this one out in a later season since nobody picked it.

Couldn't they have finished the race, but gone back for it later? Or would Phil have told them "You need all your belongings to check in"? My thought is that since they had no clue whether the bag was gone or not, so finish the race then go back, especially if it was just clothes that Mark was losing.

The detour choices were either time based or skill based. The cupping will take a finite amount of time (minimum 20-30 min?), while keeping the feather thingy in the air requires some athleticism and a bit of luck. It seems some teams was there kicking around for more than 30 minutes, but we'll never know since everybody chose the same challenge.

No it wasn't. She may have left it out of the cab but he made them go back to get it when it wasn't necessary. Did it suck to not have the bag? Yes, but you play on and not finger point. She still had the essentials. It was more important to Mark to rub her mistake in her face and make them go back than live without the clothes and still be in the race for a million dollars. Instead he got his precious clothes and a plane ticket for home. I totally blame him.
