" After last week&amp;#039;s emotional non-elimination leg on The Amazing Race, would Bopper and Mark be able to stay in the game this time around? It&amp;#039;s time to find out! We begin the leg at Bolgatty Palace in Cochin, India - with Rachel and Dave the first to depart at 6.53am. They discover that they need to travel to a Temple in Cheranallur to get their next clue. They&amp;#039;re followed by Brendon and Rachel at 7.20am, Art and JJ at 7.28am and Vanessa and Ralph at 7.32am.  So it&amp;#039;s pretty close then... except for Bopper and Mark, who are still three hours away from their start time! And Mark&amp;#039;s struggling with heatstroke - he&amp;#039;s even hooked up to a drip.  But Rachel and Dave reach the Temple and get their first clue. There&amp;#039;s a Fast Forward, but they can&amp;#039;t do it since they&amp;#039;ve already done one, so it&amp;#039;s on to the next stop in the leg - Pattanacaud Coir Mats and Matting. Vanessa and Ralph follow, deciding not to take the risk of the Fast Forward, while Art and JJ have already done one so also have to make their way to Pattanacaud. Brendon and Rachel, though, decide to go for the Fast Forward and make their way there. But when they discover that they must each have their head shaved as part of a traditional ritual, Rachel is horrified by the idea. &amp;quot;I paid $500 for extensions,&amp;quot; she says tearfully. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d be so sad.&amp;quot; Brendon insists it&amp;#039;s her decision and they decide to rush off to Pattanacaud instead.  Vanessa and Ralph are the first ones to make it there - it&amp;#039;s a Roadblock! The teams must spin 40ft of rope out of coconut husks and then spool four bundles on to a spindle. Ralph chooses to take it on - &amp;quot;He can do anything,&amp;quot; Vanessa says confidently. When Rachel and Dave arrive, Dave offers to do the challenge, while Art decides to go for it instead of JJ. The other members of the team stand and watch them spinning the rope, as Vanessa and Rachel discuss the Indian dress the men are wearing. &amp;quot;Ralph&amp;#039;s one of the few boyfriends that has not cross dressed,&amp;quot; Vanessa muses. Bopper and Mark are still an hour away from their start, by the way, but Mark&amp;#039;s feeling much better. Back at Pattanacaud, the men are struggling with the rope, which keeps snapping. Brendon and Rachel arrive after their aborted Fast Forward, and JJ is furious that no-one took it on, as it will help Bopper and Mark so much if they do it. &amp;quot;Does anyone play the game strategically?&amp;quot; he gasps. &amp;quot;Unbelievable - no-one thinks. Not for one second do they think.&amp;quot; But Rachel defends her decision - &amp;quot;I need hair to be pretty,&amp;quot; she says, pointing out that Vanessa has already made comments about her &amp;quot;big nose&amp;quot;. Slowly, the men begin moving on to spooling the rope, which is really &amp;quot;labor intensive&amp;quot;, according to Dave. What&amp;#039;s more, there&amp;#039;s piece of steel sticking out of the spool and it&amp;#039;s causing a few bloody hands. But when Rachel tells Dave he&amp;#039;s doing a great job, he replies: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t need positive reinforcement please. I appreciate silence.&amp;quot; Ouch! Vanessa and Ralph are done first, and have to travel to Fort Kochi to find a barber working under an ancient tree. But as they rush to their rickshaw, Vanessa trips and hurts her ankle. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so much tougher than I look,&amp;quot; she vows. &amp;quot;I have a really high tolerance for pain.&amp;quot; Rachel and Dave are close behind them, too.  Meanwhile, as they wait for their partners to complete the spooling, JJ and Rachel get talking. JJ begins planting seeds in Rachel&amp;#039;s brain about the Fast Forward, suggesting that she should do it (&amp;quot;I think she&amp;#039;s a bit gullible,&amp;quot; he says later.) But though Rachel admits that she should probably shave her head, it&amp;#039;s not going to happen - when Brendon finishes they head off to the barber, as do Art and JJ. Finally, at 10.38am it&amp;#039;s time for Bopper and Mark to leave! &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re dead last,&amp;quot; Bopper says, but adds that they&amp;#039;re known for their comebacks. And Mark says if there&amp;#039;s any way they can try to get an advantage, they will. Elsewhere, Rachel and Dave find the barber first and are quickly followed by Vanessa and Ralph. It&amp;#039;s time for a Detour - Pachyderm or Pack A Box? Pachyderm requires the teams to decorate an elephant and shovel 15 wheelbarrows of elephant manure, while Pack A Box asks teams to fill ten crates with ginger and seal and stencil each box before delivering them to the depot. Rachel and Dave, Vanessa and Ralph and Brendon and Rachel all agree to go for Pachyderm, while Art and JJ choose Pack A Box because it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;manual labor&amp;quot;. As they make their way to the start points, Mark and Bopper arrive at the Temple and find their Speed Bump - they must paint a tiger on the belly of a dancer. Bopper&amp;#039;s confident - he paints creek rocks with his daughter. &amp;quot;I have no problem with it other than it being on a man&amp;#039;s belly,&amp;quot; he jokes.  Over with the elephants, Vanessa&amp;#039;s loving the task: &amp;quot;I love elephants more than anything - elephants and monkeys.&amp;quot; But with the ginger, JJ is still fuming that &amp;quot;no-one else has balls&amp;quot; because they didn&amp;#039;t take on the Fast Forward, mumbling that Rachel can&amp;#039;t want $1m that much if she&amp;#039;s not willing to cut her hair. It turns out that the elephant decorating is done pretty quickly, and the teams then just get on with shovelling dung. But Vanessa&amp;#039;s not sure that Brendon and Rachel have shovelled enough wheelbarrows! Elsewhere, though, Art and JJ are really struggling with their Detour, which is &amp;quot;tedious&amp;quot; and taking them a long time. While Bopper and Mark complete their belly-painting and decide to take a risk on the Fast Forward, Rachel and Dave complete the Detour and get their next clue - it&amp;#039;s time to take a ferry to the next pit stop! They&amp;#039;re quickly followed by Vanessa and Ralph and Brendon and Rachel, but reach the ferry first.  Still, it&amp;#039;s not moving and eventually Dave decides to pay the captain to get the ferry moving quickly! When Rachel spots the other teams driving up, they get even more urgent and the captain pulls up the gate and sails off. Nice work! Unsurprisingly, Rachel and Dave reach the pit stop first - for the sixth time! They each win $10,000 for their efforts, too. Now, they don&amp;#039;t only want to win the Race but to grab the record for the most leg wins. Art and JJ, though, are still struggling with their ginger Detour. They admit that they might have chosen the wrong one but vow to keep going (and pass the time by impersonating Dave being mean to Rachel). Oh, and &amp;quot;to add insult to injury&amp;quot;, JJ cuts his hand on the sheet metal on one of the ginger crates - it looks nasty, and there&amp;#039;s a lot of blood. Things get even more tense as they try to deliver their crates and begin snapping at each other... &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m never having ginger with my sushi again.&amp;quot;  Things are tense at the pit stop, too, as Rachel and Brendon arrive, quickly followed by Vanessa and Ralph. When Phil asks if he&amp;#039;ll have to hand out any penalties, Vanessa says that she&amp;#039;s not sure Rachel and Brendon transported enough manure - unsurprisingly, this causes a bit of a row! Phil asks why Vanessa and Rachel can&amp;#039;t get along, but really this just opens old wounds and causes more arguments. Eventually they apologize to each other (not entirely convincingly - &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to hug you,&amp;quot; Vanessa says.) Still, Rachel vows to &amp;quot;kick their asses&amp;quot; in the Race. Bopper and Mark arrive at the Fast Forward and immediately agree to get their heads shaved (not that it takes much for Mark!). Bopper admits that he&amp;#039;s never had his head shaved before but he&amp;#039;d do anything for the life-changing money for his kid - &amp;quot;He can cut my leg off while he&amp;#039;s at it, I don&amp;#039;t care.&amp;quot; And when it&amp;#039;s done, Mark praises him: &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t look as good as me, but you look good, bro!&amp;quot;  Will it be enough, though? Art and JJ are finally done with their challenge and are heading to the ferry - but they&amp;#039;re stuck in traffic. Could Bopper and Mark make it there first? No... Art and JJ finally arrive at the pit stop in fourth place (though they think they&amp;#039;re out of the competition until Phil tells them otherwise!). Phil says they should be jumping up and down for joy, but JJ admits: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so tired.&amp;quot; So when Bopper and Mark arrive, it&amp;#039;s bad news - they&amp;#039;ve been eliminated. &amp;quot;We had an amazing time on The Amazing Race,&amp;quot; Bopper says, as Mark describes it as &amp;quot;one of the most humbling experiences&amp;quot; in his life. They reveal that they agreed to go as friends and come home as friends and add that if Kentucky isn&amp;#039;t proud of them, then &amp;quot;shame on them&amp;quot;: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve given 175%.&amp;quot; So we say goodbye to Bopper and Mark... and it&amp;#039;s the finale next week! Who&amp;#039;s going to win this season? The final Pit Stop order is: 1. Rachel &amp;amp;amp; Dave - win $10,000 each2. Brendon &amp;amp;amp; Rachel3. Vanessa &amp;amp;amp; Ralph4. Art &amp;amp;amp; JJ5. Bopper &amp;amp;amp; Mark - eliminated The Amazing Race finale airs Sunday on CBS. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
