I think that, lately, every episode of TBBT has been kind of neutral when it comes to ships. Like, I've seen hints of Penny/Leonard and I know Penny/Sheldon shippers have seen hints of them.

But let's examine even just some of my recent ships:
Adama/Roslin - dying on cancer
Lee/Kara - completely frakked up *and* doomed
Guy/Marian - bastard stabbed her himself (and I still manage to ship them)
Ned/Chuck - adorable but not able to touch
Jim/Pam - okay that one's actually good

I think you've posted stuff before that suggested you're a Ted/Robin shipper. That may be someone else on my flist though...I'm sure I've hinted at it before, at least in the sense that while I was completely sold on Ted/ ( ... )
