Speaking of Nashville Star - does everyone know that the Next Design Star took place here?

Saw the first episode, Tnt, and saw the Nashville information. :-)

Reader, I have NO CLUE how people can stomach the Bachelorette over the Mole! I don't watch any of the Bachelors/Bachelorette shows since the whole premise of "finding love" in front of cameras seems to be the most shallow, fame-hunting method of dating that I can think of.

From Cokegirl June 10th:
Tv ratings for Monday night

At 10 p.m., CBS' "CSI: Miami" posted a 5.9/10 to beat out "Nashville Star," which ticked up to 4.4/8. "The Mole" came in at 2.7/5 for ABC.
#########

I don't know how to read it either. But using simple Math, the 2.7/5 would mean 5.4/10, which is not really that off from the Top Dog CSI's 5.9/10.

I do hope it will get better. ABC has horrible track record at cancelling w/o further notice! How long did they make us wait last time until we finally saw the completion of Mole II?

One more comment for JIMMER the respected MOD(all mighty would be too much?? :-) ):
I don't think there's too many threads here.
In fact, I'd like more threads, at least one thread per epi as we did with Survivor.

I've been terribly busy until this week. It took me a long time to go back & forth between archives and different dates to find out about every one's opinions, as well as where to post! Comments on that long thread would just get lost w/o being considered or discussed.

For instance, not trying to be ignorant, but how many thought that it was "suspicious" that Victoria does not know any Spanish to help looking for those piggies? Is this a comment or clue or some brain fart in my head? Where to post this??

I so agree, Teach. I do NOT watch the "B" programs. Most of the conversation on those two shows contain my three least favorite words . . . absolutely - amazing - connection. Separately or together I am sick of those three words.

What if they're part of the sentence "I have an absolutely amazing connection to our desktop with our new wireless router!" :-) ***ducking and running***

Chy, I'd think that commenting on Victoria's lack of Spanish was just a "general" comment - there will be lots of actions that they show that will be interesting. If I'm understanding the threads correctly, we can talk about what happens on the show in any thread, but if you start talking about clues the show plants then it goes in the other section.

LOL! I don't have that kind of connection. My fingers and eyes are way too connected to the keyboard and screen though.

Uhmmm, I still don't understand why there couldn't be a thread for each episode, with dates and number of epi to keep track of what we learned in which episode??

I think they said ten episodes, fourteen threads would be all.

I think because some people don't want to discuss clues, so if we did it that way then there'd have to be two threads for each episode and it would get a bit much. I think most of the episode discussion will be in the main thread (the one that allows clues).

I wish the episode was on earlier!

Yes they are, Kitt.
But it takes a lot to find anything in that thread.

I'm still confused. If I just want to discuss the episode I just watched, and not the extra "clues" that are apparently being given out here and there, am I in the right thread? Can't we name one of these two general discussion threads "Discuss the Episodes" so we'll know where to go? Even if you don't divide it up into separate episode threads, but just go to that one thread to discuss whichever episode last aired. Does that make any sense? Or maybe have "Post Clues (No Discussion)," "Discuss the Clues," and "Discuss the Latest Episode."

Anyway, I just really wish whoever edits this show would cut out as much of Paul as possible instead of playing into his plan to be the center of attention. I kept hoping he'd just take the money and leave. He's the Scrappy Doo of this series, the little guy who's always yapping and adds nothing to the show.

Plenty of people are acting mole-ish, and I'm still happily clueless as to who the real mole is. I'm not sure I'd enjoy the show as much if I did figure it out.

I'm surprised that Mark opted out of the last challenge since he's supposedly so committed to the game. Wouldn't it make more sense to take every opportunity available to observe the other contestants? I know he was following his ally's lead, but that was still an odd choice.

curlyq, I'm ready to discuss the show too, but don't want to talk "clues".

I agree about Paul. I can't remember season 1 or 2 ever having someone who acted so hostile or jerky towards the others. He's nearly ruining the show for me. I like a good villian, but he's not being a good one. I hope they all just start to ignore him.

I couldn't believe that one guy opted out of the last challenge either after he cried over how much the money would mean to him and his wife. Seemed very out of character to me.

I'm enjoying the host more and more.

And I had forgotten about little tricky things like the clue to find the clothes at the laundry. Very clever.

Can I just slap Paul now??? I'm amazed at how well most of them are keeping their cool with him. He's like the annoying kid in class that won't shut up until someone finally snaps and decks him. (Me, me, me! I wanna' deck him!)

Other than <57>, I enjoyed the rest of the show. :-)

I think Paul's bullying is encouraged by the producers, notice how the host kept quite for a longtime before bringing back their attention to the game.. We all know that the controversy in a reality show is what the audience likes to see (not me, I prefer smart moves).

I thought the host looked a bit uncomfortable during Paul's tirade.

??? I thought I said, "other than that" - but now I'm wondering what word I put in place of that (and blushing a bit at the possibilities!)?? LOL

I hope the Mole producers don't think we LIKE listening to Paul, I actually FF through part of it so I didn't have to listen to him. Not a smart way to improve ratings, especially for those of us who have been loyal fans since the beginning!

Paul is very loud but it did help him last night. A tourist heard his NY accent and helped him out by giving him a pair of pants.

2 moments had me laughing last night 1) when Craig said to Bobby when they were walking down the street in their boxers "We look like the number 10" because Bobby is so skinny and Craig so round. 2) when the woman on the street told Bobby he needed to eat (ask for food) instead of asking for clothes.

Paul is so much like "Boston Rob" that I think he is encouraged to create a "storyline" Interesting how Nicole was able to calm down her personna from last week - (maybe someone mentioned to her death threats wont win her any points with tv viewers?)

Teach - you naughty girl!! ;) (and I hate when that happens to me!! )

Curly - Good point! Thanks for bringing it up - by that, you may help define the guidelines for this folder!!

I too want to discuss the show, and I will respect those that dont want the "clues" spoiled in anyway!!

One of the things I discussed in the spoiler thread was Mark and Clay's choice not to run around in their "ratty" looking underwear - whereas the girls got some nice covering underthings - as a teacher, can you imagine what his district thought just seeing him disrobe!

Sporty, Craig & Bobby did create some fun moments. I thought they reminded me of Laurel & Hardy(sp?). (I'm not that old, it's just how slow they finally reached my part of the world when I was young.)

It was very funny when a random lady on the street told Bobby instead of begging for clothes, he needed to beg for food! :-)

Teach, last night Victoria spoke great Spanish on my tv! Nicole's could get by as well. So was many of the players. Bobby, Craig, even Paul faked a little with Italian accent(jk!) ...
Does any one remember how Nicole was last epi? All I could remember was how Bobby had a leg cramp and Craig told Kristen to push him around in the wheel barrel! <-- I mean team-wise. Who was in Alex's team?

Curly, where's your LOST spirit? :-) We're not trying to beat any one else, but the "play along, figure out who the Mole is" is just part of the fun this show offers!

Pamy, thank you!
I saw your post too late, or I would've kept it up!

Reader, agree with you about those ratty undies, hehe...
