I am SO happy with the ending! I felt so bad for them. They really deserve to win.

I enjoyed seeing JJ struggle

I hope there isn't a major power outage next week. I really want to see BB retchel cut her $500.00 hair extentions off.

Tissue please

Are three non elimination rounds normal?

Ive came to like the very cute couple Dave & Racheal as I thought Bopper & Mark was going to be eliminated. I was also fine with finishes of the rest of the teams.

Mark bless his heart did that dance 14 times, I bet the girls he was dancing with where getting tired too.

They should make this a two hour show and let us see Bopper & Mark do the Rickshaw driving school instead only showing a half of second them trying.

This first time watching this show I became emotional at the end of AR when Bopper & Mark where saying there good bye speech my eyes began to water.

Yes, it might be interesting to see some of their down time between bouts. It could be fun to see where they put them up in and some sightseeing expeditions in those countries. I assume that they have some private time for walking about and healing.

Trump parlayed his show into two hours. Dancing With the Stars starts out with two hours.

When he completed the dance there seemed to be a sincere celebration for him by the others on the set, dancers and crew.

Did I hear correctly that Mark was ready to quit the race because he didn't think he could do the dance?

If he REALLY thought he couldn't do it, couldn't they just skip the task and take a penalty (two hours?), rather than just give up entirely? Or is that only an option in other segments of the leg?

At one point Bopper said to Mark let's just take the penalty but Mark wanted to keep trying but towards the end I believe they say let's just go home or something similar to that.

What Mark and Bopper said before the race started.

Spoiler

Weird though that there was another non-eliminatiion leg. Think the producers throw one in as they want to???
My first thoughts too.

Yes, it did but as LtBF says below, it would violate rules. IDK, but I'm sure glad Mark and Bopper were saved.

When the director kept forcing him to finish and the white guy went from "That's OK, you can quit, we're still buds" to "Come on man, one more time", I knew it was going to be non-elimination. They'll be starting at least two hours late, but they'll catch up at the airport.

Did they even show them do the cricket/car challenge? Even for a second?
I was "wth" with that part too, LtBF, one minute Bopper is all "I don't wanna loose my best friend to let's do it!"

They showed a split second of the car challenge.

Even the director seemed genuinely happy for him. I have never seen the people of the task try and get a contestant to complete it like they did. I wonder if they knew it was a non elimination so did their best to persuade Mark and not quit for nothing.

I also noticed when Phil said "you're the last couple to arrive" Mark and Bopper started into their talking and Phil had not said "you've been eliminated" yet. I just knew they were safe.

They are going to be hard put to stay in next week I think. Bopper gimpy and not being able to run/walk very well, a speed bump to boot. I fear that next week will be the end.

I wish it were the end for those border guards instead. Loved seeing the frustration on JJ's face. As a matter of fact, I don't think he properly did that dance the last time either.
