The Mole Discussion

[txblueyes1]

I just watched last nights show.
Hmmm .... I stillh ave no guess who the mole is. From the beginning, I felt it was Nicole or Mark. Then I thought Craig, being so smooth & easy going. Then after Mark did that treadmill for so long, I kind of gave up on the idea of him. I think I'm gonna go with my gut & say Craig.

 

I think Paul answered all the questions as if it was Craig and he went home....so I don't know....I'm still sticking with Mark....

[gizz]

I agree with you about Paul 

I guess this week we only pick two people????????????????? 

[Dumblonde]

I don't know guys.  Let me go see if "the place" has posted how the last week will work yet or not.  I would almost think we would need to at least declare who we think the mole is  Will let ya know...

WAY TO GO CHRIS CONGRATS ON THIS WEEKS WINNER


DB way to go!!!!!!!!!

wow, with only 4 people left this is impressive. 

[Dumblonde]

as of now it looks like we will only pick 2 players for the finale. The scoring is still questionable & as it stands right now you will want to leave the person you think is the mole off your roster (because the person revealed to be the mole earns minus -15).  I don't like that as I think you should earn points for picking the mole but I am not the one setting the rules 

There is rumor that the last show is a 2-parter over 2 weeks so everything with scoring & picking is still up in the air.  I will let you know as soon as it is cleared up

[gizz]

OK then I guess I will pick two, just no one copy mine since I have to get in the plus coumn.....

[Babyblues]

I pick whichever two gizz picks. 

[txblueyes1]

I'm still going with Mark being the mole, but something tells me it will be Nicole.....cuz how and the hell could she have lasted otherwise???  I have until 6 pm tomorrow to change my mind.....   

[Dumblonde]

I am still trying to get an answer from the other place as to how the last episode or episodes will work.  I think the finale is a 2 parter (over 2 weeks).  It seems to me that we should only pick one player by the way they have the scoring setup thus far(which includes -15 if you have the mole on your team & -10 if you have the 2nd place finisher on your team)  but they have absolutely no explanation for how anything is being done 

Sorry this is so last minute but hold off on picking until I find out

[txblueyes1]

I guess you are right about the two-parter finale....from TVguide.com

 Mon, Aug 4  10:00 PM The Mole
Two missions will test the skills of the three remaining contestants. Then, one final quiz sets the stage for the big reveal.

Mon, Aug 11 10:00 PM The Mole
The winner, the Mole's last victim and the Mole are revealed in the fifth-season finale after all 12 players reunite.

[Dumblonde]

OK here it is finally

Pick one or 2 people for your roster, it's up to you.  Just remember having the mole on your team is a big negative.

Here is the scoring for the last 2-parter episode.  You will not be able to change you pick after the fist half of the finale so this is you lats pick

[Dumblonde]

WTH am I supposed to do with the people who didn't pick this week    Normally I just leave their old picks in for the next week but this week is different.  Do we DQ those who didn't pick or let them roll with all 3 since having all 3 in means they will end up with a guaranteed -25 in addition to all else for having the mole & the 2nd place players on their roster 

[kimber]

If the majority of the people that picked only picked one person then use the first person on their list. If the majorit picked two, use their top two picks 

[txblueyes1]

so who is acting the most mole-ish tonight???

[Blackcat3]

Well I havent been playing the game with you, but I will say I hope that Nicole is the mole, only becasue I dont like her and wished she woudl have gotten the boot earlier and I really dont want her winning any money!! It wouldnt surprise me if Mark was the mole though

[Dumblonde]

I am fine as long as Craig wins & is not the mole

[Babyblues]

yeah I'd love for him to win. But I still think he's the mole.
As long as Nicole doesn't win any money, I'm a happy camper.

[txblueyes1]

Since all the challenges are over, anyone want to chat during the Mole finale tonight??

[Babyblues]

I'll prolly be in bed. I've had a sinus headache off & on since Fri (Fri & today have been the worst).  Can't wait til the weather makes up its mind.

[Dumblonde]

Don't click if you don't want to be spoiled.....

[Dumblonde]

  I dunno what else to say.  The clues  not that I caught any of them as they happened but sometimes they were telling you the mole's name & other times they were telling you the name of someone in the final 3 so I don't get that.  The clues should always be about who the mole is.  Oh well it was cool to see all the clues that I missed & be shown how thoroughly I sucked

[kimber]

I always thought the mole was Alex. When he was kicked off I didn't know who the mole could be. The week Victoria left my husband said he thought the mole was Nicole.

[FlowerCat]

I thought the Mole was Nicole because she was so cocky.  She wouldn't even participate in one of the first events and I took that as a clue.  Then she kept getting more and more arrogant, so I picked to be the Mole.

[txblueyes1]

I always thought that  was the Mole or would be the winner.
