Amazing Race 4/22 Spoilers
I admit it I was bawling at the end. Mark and Bopper are amazing. They supported each other and never yelled each other. Then to hear Phil tell them that it was a non elemation round OMG I was so happy. I do not think I have ever really wanted a team to win as much as I want them too.

I love Mark and Bopper. They are by far my favorite team and I hope they win the whole thing. They've never done anything crappy to each other or any of the other teams. They just play the game the best they can and hope that it's enough. I respect them a lot for it. I was going to be so sad if they got booted tonight, and I'll definitely be sad if they get booted next week.
The amount of "guys can't do this because we're not supposed to move like that" and "I'm a girl, I'm supposed to be emotional" type of comments always annoy me, but there seemed to be a lot of it tonight. There were plenty of guys working as choreographs and dancers, and Mark was getting just as emotional as Big Brother. Mark was definitely handling his emotions better than she was, but he was still very emotional. There just always seem to be a lot of eye roll worthy comments on this show.
I'd like to see Big Brother and Border Patrol guys go in the next couple episodes. I don't like the Army captain, but I like his wife so I'm okay with them sticking around for a bit. I'm meh on the engaged couple.
Big brother chic does it for attention, she does it over the littlest of things. Mark on the other hand was upset with himself and did not want to give up because of his kids.
I was a little irritated when Mark or Bopper said the Border Patrol Agents were babies. Dude! They gave you half their winnings because you needed it. Be grateful and STFU. I really don't like Mark and Bopper, though.
I LOVE BOPPER AND MARK! I was genuinely sad when I thought they were going home, and I love how they are so positive and supportive of each other.
The "this is a chick task" comments re: the dancing drove me insane. There are plenty of guys who can dance and plenty of gals who can't. STFU. I truly can't stand Big Brother, but I was actually happy when Rachel finished the "guy" task of hitting the ball with the stick before that jerk off...and I'm glad when his teammate gave him crap for it.
I don't mind the engaged couple or the army guy/blonde girl team. I LOATHE border patrol and Big Brother.
Bopper and Mark are the only team left that genuinely supports each other even mistakes are made or they're in a seemingly hopeless situation. I really don't know who I'm going to root for if they get booted off next week because all the other teams are just drama llamas, and I can't stand watching the bickering.
I also love how you can totally tell that Phil's rooting for Team Kentucky too!
I was tearing up last night at Mark and Bopper. It was so great how he finally managed to finish the task (although I really wonder if they just let him through for the sake of good TV. I thought I saw a mistake but they let it go).
I would *love* for them to win but I doubt that will happen. Too bad, it would be such a great underdog story! This is the first season of AR in a while that I've been excited to watch.
They only did it because they thought Mark and Bopper were going home and, I think, wanted to look good for the cameras. If they knew it was a non-elimination round, I don't think they would have given up a dime.
I liked BP at the beginning, but they've only gotten cockier and more annoying as time goes by. Plus, they were acting like babies. They whine and boohoo every episode about as much as Big Brother does. They're grown men giving the silent treatment for crying out loud!
They first showed the group agreeing to U-turn Big Brother, and then the fight was over whether or not they U-Turned the FBI/Teachers. The Army team was smart to realize that U-Turning either team when they didn't pose an immediate threat to either BP or themselves could lead to retaliation later on. It was all stupid. BP needs to get over themselves.
I love Bopper and Mark! I'm so glad he stuck through the challenge and not give up! It shows how dedicated to the race and who he is as a person. So proud of them!
Anyone else tired of Rachel crying all the effing time? My goodness!
LOL at your SN
