A great deal of the comments here are talking about how Big Mac either "should" have been with Cheerilee or broke her heart. But there simply was no confirmation by the show that Cheerilee really had feelings for Mac.



Yes, shipping between her and Big Mac became popular after the Hearts and Hooves Day, but remember that some fans didn't like the idea of Big Mac being with Cheerilee when the episode's summary was announced. Also, some fan shippings just do not become canon.



Of all the drama that shipping can cause, sheesh. XD
