All the people I had pegged as the Mole have left ;)....so I decided to go with the dh's pick of Craig. But last night after Mark took the Journal which meant the 75k would be put into the pot I've switched my vote to Mark being the Mole. I much rather have Mark win the money than being the Mole.

Am I wrong in thinking that the Mole didn't do such a good job at keeping the pot low? Anyone remember the past season final pot totals?

In the first season the winner got over $500K. I think it was even more in the second one.

I wonder how much the mole gets paid. I hope it's a substantial sum, like $100K. It must be a lot of stress.

After last night, I think Nicole is the mole. She didn't really participate in that search around town and eat the right food task. She appeared to not even try to do any of it. The phone conversations between John and Nicole seemed like she didn't really want to have to try because she is the mole and it didn't matter anyway. She didn't seem concerned about that 75K or the dossier.

I was leaning toward Craig for awhile, but now I really think it is Nicole and I will not happy if she is the mole. I do not like her at all.

Mark could be the mole. He did keep a lot of money out, if Craig is right, and he kept another 75K out last night. But, if he isn't the mole, he may have figured sacrificing 75K to get $420K is a good move. I don't think he is the mole, but he could be. I do like his reasoning about why he took the dossier. If he is the mole, he did an awesome job of hiding it/the editors did a great job ... for me anyway. He is the person I least suspected from the beginning and still now!

I think there is a good chance Craig is the mole, but after last night, I more think the mole is Nicole.

Can't wait til next week! But I'll be sad that it is over. I really enjoy this show!

I think they all did a great job, the producers included, for making us so dubious as to the real mole, everyone seemed either the mole or just acting to confuse the others or us even more.

I hesitate about Craig because the last two who thought it was Craig were executed, Clay and Paul.

I hesitate about Nicole because she is too obvious, too molish and overconfident, either she knows who the mole is and doesn't care about making money, just to be the winner.

I hesitate about Mark because he is too desperate in wanting to be the winner by scoring best on the quiz.

But all three could be the mole and I'm just too dumb at this point because it's down to the last three and still hesitate... this was a real test that I'm getting old....

Wasn't it Mark who kept saying is it red and blue (purple), rather than the purple? I still think it's Mark, and now more than ever bc he didn't choose the money. Nicole just cracked me up with her complaining, but even though I've thought she was the mole before, it seems that the mole would want to win this prize, to have control over whatever it is, throwing the others off. Nicole just didn't even make an effort. I thought Craig might have been the mole too, bc he was not removed after getting ill, but I wonder if bc he was cleared by the medical people, it would have been okay for him to continue. If he was the mole and that ill, the show would be liable wouldn't they? All in all, this season's been fun and I'm looking forward to seeing who it actually is.

I still think Craig is the Mole. I think Kitt's right about Mark taking the dossier to make up for losing his journal. Someone that obsessed about the details would have a hard time saying no to peaking at the Mole's dossier.

My main reason for not thinking it's Mark is that he has been such a key player in these challenges. He has cost them a lot of money, but if not for him they'd have even less. If he was the Mole it would've been so easy for him to keep his mouth shut during that treadmill thing, or just generally pretend to be as clueless as everyone else.

Did anyone else find this season not quite up to par with the first 2? Some of the tasks were definitely physically taxing and some were mentally taxing (no bungee jumping for me!!), but I keep thinking of that one task in the last mole where they had to spend the night in that "haunted-type" house and it was an all-night deal? I don't know. It's been enjoyable, but not like it was for me as "I can't wait until it's on." Last night if I hadn't channel surfed, I would have totally missed it. I forgot to set the VCR after a power outage knocked out all my settings since I thought there was "nothing" to watch on Mondays.

I'm still interested, don't get me wrong, it's just not the same for me. Maybe it's because Anderson isn't there and I haven't liked a lot of the cast.

The one reason I think Craig might be the mole is because I would have thought he'd never make it this far due to his health, etc. Of course, then I think of the others and can think of reasons they might be it! I AM looking forward to seeing all the clues and finding out who it is next week, though. :-)

I remember the task where they were kept in a room and "Tiny Bubbles" kept playing all night.

Watching, I think the Mole is probably on a tighter budget than the first 2. That's my guess.

I have enjoyed the show, but no where near as much as I did the first 2 seasons. I'd rank this season right next to the Celebrity seasons (which have been airing on Fox reality much to my delight).

I think the problem in figuring out the mole is editing!! I enjoy reading posts on why each person is or is not the mole (and I posted in the other thread the link to the SS posting of the mole's journal - even those clues point to each of the 3 left - )

I agree that the year the clue was so easily read "Bill is the MOLE" that everyone was miffed it was made too easy - the first year the clues were revealed made so many roll eyes because no one could've figured out any of those clues...

until all is revealed - who knows!! Yet, I can honestly say (once the clues and mole is revealed) I KNEW it! roflol!!

That was a classic! Best Mole of all. It was called Anderson's Fun House.

Only one of them had to stay all night in the room with Tiny Bubbles. There was a bubble making machine and they played the song "Tiny Bubbles" over and over again all night long at varying times, volumes and speeds. It would stop for a minute and then start again. It was hilarious.

One of the other two had to stay in a pitch black room with a large snake and the other was stuck in a cage with bugs (but not for as long a time). The one with the snake gave up. The one with the cockroaches stuck it out (that was Dorothy, the eventual show winner) and the Tiny Bubble guy (Al – who was one of the funniest players ever) lasted all night but was so exhausted in the morning that he failed the quiz (or at least I don't think it helped).

Dorothy was brilliant at figuring out clues. She was so good at it, people thought that she had to be faking and was the Mole.

I guessed early on that Craig was The Mole.

Craig’s name never came up even once when Jon revealed the quiz results.

This fact has confirmed my suspicions that Craig is The Mole.

The fact that Craig's name never came up once during quiz results would mean nothing since if Craig was The Mole, he would have all the answers correct and would get a green thumbprint. All the Mole has to do is look nervous like they are sweating out the results.

Exactly Lexie, I think that confuses some people. The mole has to act like a player the entire time, not only for the other players but for the home audience. Thus the "fake" confessionals, the writing in the journal, pretending to take the quiz (they are all out there with each other taking the quiz), and pretending to care not only whether they were eliminated but also pretending to care who was.

The acting on a quiz result would not be any more difficult than all the other acting.

The fact that his name never came up once means nothing.

Oh, man. The "Tiny Bubbles" episode was my favorite ever. I think maybe in the past there were more challenges like that where the players were separated from each other and had no idea if the others would hold up their end. I remember one where a lady ended up doing everyone's tasks just to make sure they won the money. She wound up in a cast, her hair dyed green, and carrying a portrait she posed for in the nude. She was really a good sport. I think she may have even had a leg iron, but I'm not sure. I also remember the episode where the Mole fainted from fear in the middle of a challenge because she had to let someone shoot an arrow at her head.

Still, they always had trouble with the ratings. I remember the second season was taken off the air halfway through, and then they brought it back later.

Curlyq, I remember that one also. I loved the tasks in the first two Moles.

The second mole was interrupted by 9/11 - not necessarily low ratings -- but I wish more people would watch it so they could have the budget to be as creative w/the challenges as they were the first year.

Well I guess I won't be able to see this until next Sunday because of the Packer game on Monday. That's along time to wait.

I'd forgotten how they had to wait as well to find out Winner, Loser and Mole!

All three of them waiting behind doors. Well, each in their own. Recap of each and every task!
I
m laughing at myself for all the wrong Mole guesses I did along the way!

I still don't know which is the Mole and I didn't dare to read the thread since there was a mixed up last week, someone said the name of the Mole from the other thread!

Holy Cow, 15 minutes into the show we know the winner.

Next segment we find out who the Mole is.

Anyone want to know or should we keep quiet?
