Mark Jackson & Mallory Ervin are Team Kentucky on the second all-star season of The Amazing Race.

As the fan favorites from The Amazing Race 20, Bopper & Mark were a natural selection to return for All-Stars, but Bopper was deemed unfit to compete due to an inflamed pancreas. Mark was given the option to run the Race, and Mallory of Gary & Mallory from The Amazing Race 17 and the Unfinished Business edition was asked to replace Bopper.

As expected of a team who barely knew each other, they clashed. Mark felt that Mallory wouldn't listen to his suggestions, and Mallory felt that Mark did not have the same motivation she and her dad did to win. When Mark lost his backpack behind, Mallory thought it would be better off in the long-term to leave it, but Mark, having lived life without many material possessions, decided he could not afford to replace his belongings. Their subsequent lack of coordination in the Featherball Detour caused them to get eliminated in 10th Place.
