bopper and mark life long friends (season 20 5th or so it seems)

we find out that bopper had to make a visit to the doctor and is pulled from the race so mallory (of season 17 6th season 18 3rd) will be marks partner due to a pankeras attack. phil tells the teams they are going to china first and the double express pass is back. the first stop will be guanzhou and to get on the first flight they must find a band member with the symbol. leo/jamal jet/cord dave/connor and natalie/nadiya are on the first flight with jessica/john just missing out. mark/mallory immediately have to work out how to work together. the first stop is a street of wedding dresses with limited clues at different shops. all the lead teams except the cowboys go for cabs (they go to the metro and is quicker) it is quite hard finding the place as its in chinese. the afghanimals work with natalie/nadiya but can’t find it the cowboys do find it sending them to canton tower the next clue. the 2nd flight ends up having a split with the season 22 teams from that flight mising the train. dave/connor find the clue in 2nd. the working together teams miss the clue. as the teams from the 2nd flight pass them quickly. the next clue is in some but not all the bubbles on the tower (its only in the even ones). the cowboys try 15 and are wrong. the last train teams catch up to the aligned teams but can’t find the clue so the girl teams work together leaving leo/jamal to find the clue which they do next. the next clue sends them to a stadium as margie/luke brendon/rachel and dave/connor turn up. only brendon/rachel get it first time mark/mallory are also there but wrong. leo/jamal turn up next and get it quickly as the teams figure out its even. jessica/john and joey/meaghen get the tower clue. and the girl teams find places that are out of clues. mark/mallory aren’t sure which stadium. the girl teams turn up and caroline/jennifer pass joey/meaghen while natalie/nadiya make a mistake thinking they all are right. the next clue is a roadblock of doing high wire flips cord is doing the roadblock as is brendon. the cowboys get the pitstop clue 1st sending them to the opera house in guanzhou on foot. the cowboys win the express passes. margie, connor and leo are doing the roadblock leo shows off a bit. natalie/nadiya are way behind and arguing over the bubbles. flight time, mallory, john and caroline do the roadblock. joey and natalie do the roadblock at the back of the pack but the twinies don’t catch up and are eliminated.
