Based on watching the US version, I believe it's a 4-hour penalty for skipping a Road Block or Detour and a 2-hour penalty for skipping any other tasks. Since they skipped one of each, it became a 6-hour total for them.
They're likely going to get lucky next week because they're traveling to Hong Kong. Air Canada has one daily flight between Vancouver and Hong Kong, so they likely planned things so every team will get onto the same flight. Ultimately, the 6-hour penalty won't matter.
Taking the two-hour penalty for the surfing task, I can sort of understand. If you know you're not likely to complete it quickly and you know you're ahead of a lot of other teams, it's better to take the penalty early and hope the others can't catch up.
It is ridiculous that they thought it was better to take the 4-hour penalty than try to finish the chair, especially when you see the quality of some of the chairs that passed (I'm not sure why he ripped the one apart that looked fine).

They already have the lesbian team, so they don't really need two "token" gay teams. I think they got picked because Rex is a minor celebrity.
