I am so disappointed that they decided there wasn't enough time to complete the latest task! I would have loved to see Nicole as the head and Paul as the rear of a llama!! Like Clay said, it was practically Shakespearian!

The only things that I think could have done just over an eight-minute mile were the scooters. That is definitely not a walking pace, even a brisk one.

The only way I can see it working was to be another cooperative mission with two to the end on each scooter; one back on each scooter; and repeat as needed -

I forget. Did they are have to reach the statue before money goes in the pot, or was it partial money for each team able to reach the destination?

I can answer my own question now. :-)

They had to travel in three teams. Each team of two players using two different types of transportation. 5.5 M in 45 minutes! For each team that does (reach the destination), 10G would be added to the Pot.

Mark was right. Even if you run the whole way, you could barely make 5.5m by 45min., since Craig did not give any one the motorcycle, kid's bike or anything else with wheels, this mission was impossible to accomplish.
Even if Craig set aside his need for the exemption and does his best to favor the mission, I can only see 20G in the pot the most.
Moppet (Muppet? The Euro. motorcycle)), bike, the Ice Cream cart and the kid's scooter might make it.
But since Craig thought he could go ahead and grab the exemption w/o guilt, he made it Mission: Impossible for them. He did provide the humor or even belly-laugh for us though.

It was strange how Jon just comes up with a criteria and Craig just happened to step into it. (Actually, Craig said "Exemption-worthy", not the word exemption. What do you think?)

If Craig isn't the Mole, this was a brilliant trick by the producer to divert attention.
OTOH, if Craig is the Mole, they didn't need to make him the "Transportation assigner". Any player would have just take the Exemption for themselves looking at that "Jon's Rental"!

I guess my conclusion has to be that, Craig does not have to be the Mole. :-) Sounding like Clay?? :-)

I think there must have been another twist to that challenge that they didn't show, because nobody started the race. The producers must have known the task was impossible as it stood.

Anyone remember back in the first mole when they had to walk miles and miles to get to a castle thing and it turned dark and Kathryn(?) was attacked by a wild boar?! Now those people would try anything that was put to them.

Kitt, I remember that, but also couldn't recall who was attacked, but there was a wild boar attack indeed. My German friend and I said at the same time "What a tasty treat, don't let it get away now!".

Yeah, Kitt. I was thinking the same thing about a possible twist with Craig & Jon sitting by that half way point. But I don't think it'd be one to help them get through the mission.
I think, just in case Craig did assign them wheels and they figure out some way to do something about making the most money, Jon was there to offer an additional twist, like one or two more exemptions. There's no rules for the task-givers, they could even tempt the players with Craig's exemption, "swipe it from him if you quit right now!" .... Something like that.

As it turned out, Paul & Clay provided them so much more fun footage and Craig made them give up trying w/o much effort from the production peeps, they may have just edited the twist out. No one was told about it, so no one would be missing it anyways.

Yeah, the only suggestion of a twist was I think from Alex who was willing to give it a try. I seem to remember him saying in the later interview that they didn't know if there was going to be more to it once they got started. I suspect any twist wouldn't have made it easier, though. They had the option of scooters and such, but Craig simply didn't choose that.

It's funny that they made another challenge that involved looking silly after what happened with the last one. Were they perhaps counting on Clay would be the one to say no again? By "they" I mean the producers and/or Craig (if he's the Mole).

Really we just have Jon's word that mentioning "exemption" was what got Craig the upper hand. In the past I remember something similar when they gave the opportunity to the person who ate a blueberry, or something like that. They could totally make that up after the fact by just watching their Mole and seeing what they do or say. "Well, the only thing he said was that bit about getting an exemption. We'll tell them that was the secret word."

Yeah Curly, that's how they chose Craig all right.
But that still doesn't mean Cr is the Mole to me. Any one of the players as the Transportation-assigning position would just take the Exemption.

You weigh the possibility of making that 30G, which is very slim, and the sure thing of you staying for another round to have a chance at the Pot, ... ...

No show on Monday? Is that right? Should I be worried?

I think it was planned as the final of The Bachelorette is Monday and it is extended?

According to my DVR, there's a recap episode at 9 and a new episode at 10 on the 14th. No episode on the 7th.

I am finding this more boring each week. The challenges and the contestants are boring. I cant believe they thought this group would be entertaining.

I am liking the host more each week though. I am finding him to have the same drool attitude that Andy Coopy had.(Kat Griffin fans will know who I mean LOL)

LOL!! "Coopy" (LOVE Kathy!) was a tough act to follow, but Jon is doing a great job.

I think the host is doing a pretty good job, they just have a bunch of pretty tredious people playing. I can't beleive they are opting out of challenges and not even giving things a go.

Yeah, I'm hoping that the extra show will give us on important clues we might have missed first time round. And this week, whoever goes home, it will be a shock for a lot of us as we're down to the most mole-ish players!

Just got in when Paul said ... Nicole is everything this game is not posed to be ...

Jon commented N being the only lady left.

Three runners & three thinkers.

Nic, P & Craig are Thinkers. Paul is the communicator.
7 brain teasers for thinkers to answer, Paul communicates it to the runners by cell to find bottles some where. Mark has to do a treadmill, can't stop. He's concerned.
#1, Chocolate, cheese, Ice wood, which doesn't belong? They think Wood, ...

#2 Math brain teaser.
#3 How many months has 28 days? Mark is upset at them being slow. Paul, too. Nic & Craig are the only two allowed to answer....

I'm lost w/teasers, ...

Every bottle they found, the treadmill gets harder for Mark to work out.

Paul is commenting on how Nic is not as smart as she thinks. <In my opinion, she is trying to answer everything straight on, rather than looking at them as Twisters.

Ahhhh, when they couldn't find a bottle, Paul told all it could be a wrong answer .... now it resulted to foolish comments like .... won't toutch that hairy thing(Nic said kiss my behind ...)

I didn't catch the "Extra" show.
Someone please let us know if there really was anything new.

Wait, I hope it's okay, since Mark the runner has been giving them correct answers a lot. Jon just might come back and say those didn't count??

Jon just said they're maxed out.
The bottles have to be back before Mark must stop from being worn out.
Clay insisted on looking for another one. Moley?

They made it! The single best paid off mission.
P said Mark did all the running and gave most of the correct answers! P & Craig now think Nicole could be the mole since she was so bad at the brain teasers.
Clay talked about it to Mark as well, but Mark couldn't believe that Nicole could be it. Clay's doubting Mark ... Mark fessed that every player has been good playing game and good pretending to be Mole.


Where is Alex?? I didn't see him. Hmmmm

Guess it was okay for Mark to give answers. Even though, technically, he was one of the Runners. I thought only "Thinkers" were trying to solve problems???

They are correct.

Nic is either not very intelligent or she knows who the mole is and trying to throw them off.

How could she not know some of the questions and spend time arguing.

NOW Alex is doing a dance & chant that Nicole is the Mole.
Craig fessed that Nic never took any notes! That's why he thought she'd be gone early.

Haha! Clay & Mark plotting to liquor Al up before Quiz time.

Drove & drove, Gorge over the Mendoza River!
Swing out, aim % toss a beg of Mateatea at gaols, while being swung out!

Nic wants to quit.... committed to jump last but fessed that she has to think about it ...

Mark went first. Before you jump, are you interested at an Exemption??<< says Jon!!
Good, all he had to do is guessing how much the team could make ... the closest one wins.

He missed, but loved the feeling.

Jon told lippy Paul he did the task himself and made the target. Paul is afraid to look down. said I love you to daughter before jumping ...
Missed, went in the water.

Clay.... claimed they moved the target ...
Craig is not feeling good about this. He has vertigo and things ... Three zeros and Jon makes him do calculations.. He said "Sorry ma", jumped and all went OMG before commercial comes!
