Well I live in Waukesha, Wi, which is 20 mins. from Mukwonago, (my DH was raised there, he's parents still live there) and we haven't heard anything about Mark even on the local channels. I didn't read any of the bios before Monday show so it floored me when I saw someone that I recognize! Freaky feeling! I don't have a clue as to how I know him just that me and DH do! LOL I don't think he is the mole but it would be pretty cool if he was.

Cokegirl, apparently he was on and won the weakest link. He is a teacher and some of his former students have commented on his character and what kind of person they think he is etc...The main reason why I am on his mole bandwagon (well his is on my MOLE-DAR lol) is because of this thread at the official site: MarkFOMO Thread Early days yet I know but he is one I will be watching! ETA: Read what the posters say about Mukwonago......

Maybe it was from the weakest link. I'll ask my DH tomorrow. I really think we know him from some where else through. hhhhhhhmmmmmm. I read the whole thread in your link. it makes you think. Also tomorrow I'll call my MIL and some friends that live there and see if they heard anything.

I agree with Spunky, let's keep it to one thread. The game is all about speculation and as Jimmer pointed out, none of this is spoiling. One thread please. Thank you.

Pamy, I thought the clues indicated it was a man, so I guess we have no spoilers so far.

speculation that discusses Mark mole-dar (and a possible clue or red herring??? no one knows for sure) (I'm putting it in spoiler box out of respect for those that didnt like the green helmet picture)
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | This post from michele0214 on the ABC boards intrigued me: "In the Robinson Crusoe game when the teams were bringing items to the appraisers someone was holding what looked like a box. The camera zoomed in very quicky on the so called box. I freezed the pictured and noticed it said "Trinks Brunsviga". I googled this and found out that it was a GERMAN company that made old calculators. In the beginning of the show when Jon Kelley was talking about the falls he mentioned that "GERMAN tourists fell to their death at the falls". Hmm I think there is definately a tie in somewhere!" The German element was even puntuated by Jon Kelley saying the tourists went "KAPUT!" So, being a person who believes Mark (Lambrecht) is the Mole, I did a search on his last name on Ancestry.com and found this out - Lambrecht is a staunch German surname with 184 of the 284 instances of Lambrecht's immigrating to America (using public records as the source) coming from Germany. The other possibilities are Preussen (53), DenMark (18), Russia (14), Mecklenburg (9) and Bavaria (6). Apparently in Chile, the German connection is strong, particularly in the south, where in the mid-1800's a mass immigration occurred. Then of course, Argentina was notoriously a place where the high level Nazi's went to hide out from the Allies after WWII. So, we might see more of this German connection as time goes by. I know that there is a precedent from the Mole producers to make a pun (or some such clever wordplay) on a person's name (eg Anderson serving MickeyD's to the Mole2 players for dinner in reference to Bill "McDaniels") so it suddenly dawned on me that maybe this is a play on Mark's name - German = Deutsch + Mark = Deutsch Mark! (which, by the way, went "kaput" itself in 1999 when Germany started using the Euro as it's currency.) The challenge was inspired by German tourists going over the falls...and Mark is a tourist (of German ancestry) who also went over the falls grabbing at some currency. |

hmmm more guessing... Jon held up Journal #11. I was also told by someone on another message board that the site has been "giving out" official clues, including one saying E_E_E_ (which very well may be spelling out "eleven). With that in mind, we can look at Kristen (K is the eleventh letter of the alphabet), Paul (the 11th when arranged alphabetically), and Craig (the 11th player introduced in the opening).

I dont think I posted this persons guessing!! Although it seems like Ali was eliminated, I was going to say that her initials match those of Alexander Selkirk, whose objects they were all looking for. We also have a participant named Alex. The hourglass is believed to be invented in Alexandria, more Alex references. Alex didn't grab his bag. There's a lot of Alex going on here. They had to find 5 items, there were 45 hidden, 1704 was the year. We can get all kinds of obscure here. They did a cellphone-letter match up in the past, 1704 gives you ".pG ", (Paul Grassi?), 5/45 is 9, 4x45 is 180, the sum of 1704 is 12, those are all dividable by 3...

Ditto on the Wow. If Mark is the Mole, he's a darn good actor.

So after much thought and consideration (and an awful lot of posts) we will be creating an area for The Mole containing three threads. There will be a thread for people who want to discuss every aspect of the TV show, including any clues that may be discerned from viewing the TV show and subsequent investigation of what was seen on the show. That will be this thread. Lots of speculation, guessing, research and studying of clues is a norm for this thread. But no pure spoilers (inside information etc.). There will be a thread for pure spoilers. That would be information where the original source of a clue is not the show itself. For example, if there were heavy betting on one person being The Mole or if someone were to have obtained inside information from someone who participated in the production of the show or information from someone who saw the filming of one of the future tasks it would be posted in the spoiler thread. Finally, there will be a thread for people who want to discuss the show but not discuss clues or try to figure out who the Mole is. Hopefully this keeps everyone happy and we can get back to the fun of discussing the show!
