I don't see it like that at all. It was a father doing anything to help his son. I would do the same thing in a half of second. There was one season. That the was lot of parents and kids and the parents choose to leave so there kids could stay. He hasn't asking to change the rules at all. He didn't try to change the rules at all. As for the Rumors lol. It said Chism walks out I guess we know that not true![]()
But isn't this the first season where the partners were split up? I understand that a father or mother would and have sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their child and belive me I would as well but they were always on the same team in previous seasons. If they allowed Mark to leave, being on a different team than his son, would have been changing the rules IMHO.
