Does anyone remember how much the Mole makes? Wasn't it a rather large amount plus whatever amount he kept the group from winning?

My (often dodgy) memory has it being that the Mole is paid for the role, like an acting gig or something. I don't think it depended on what he/she kept the others from winning.

Spunky you can get a fix of the fellow from Mole 1 every night on CNN.. two hours! CNN won't give him back to reality tv.. (Anderson Cooper). I cannot wait to see this! Lex, I think they could make as much as a million if they never lost a challenge.. I think in season one the winner won $550,000? (I should remember, just finished watching the marathon this morning..) OK.. it was $510,000 in season one.. here's an excellent summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Price

I vaguely remember that the money grew or shrunk as the game wore on based on their challenges or something like that. But, then, I watch too many reality shows, so I am probably off base. They have the first quiz out on the ABC website in case anyone is interested. http://abc.go.com/primetime/themole/index?pn=quiz

The question was how much did the MOLE earn, not the winner of The Mole show. There's a million available (assuming it's the same as before) for the winner, but that amount goes down when challenges aren't met either due to the group messing up or Mole sabotage. The Mole him/herself however, is paid by the show to sabotage the tasks, and I thought I remember, years ago, reading that they were paid a flat rate for the gig, like an actor's pay, however well they did their job. But I might have remembered incorrectly, or it might have changed now the show has more of a history.

Kitt, I remember the same thing. "The Mole" doesn't win prize $$$$ just the regular stipend and of course the fun of being The Mole. I think it would be a different show if The Mole wins what they sabotaged.

actually this time around the max amount they could win is rumored to be just north of $500,000-so in reality that means the winner should get in the $250K-$350K range (they usually win between 50-60% of the money available)..

They are sitting down to dinner. The first challenge was to write down who they thought the mole is... and the person with the most votes, become the decider for the first challenge - jumping from a raft over a waterfall to catch money... The "mole" chose which bags to put money in, and which to put fake $$ money in - was it suspicious? I have no idea... then she picked 4 people to sleep outside, Nicole is an ob/gyn age 32 - she was not happy - she refused to sleep outside, she refused to sleep! So they got back at her on the next mission - they were asked to pick the "whiner" of the group!! ROFLOL then they had the dinner (all dressed up) but Dr. Whiner wasnt a part of that group! They interviewed a few... Mark, the History teacher just told the most heartstring pulling stories on why he wanted the money - so my first impressions (which are probably wrong!! lol) Craig (his weight may be a hinderence, so why pick him) Mark - his tears seemed genuine, I dont think he would make a good liar... and then I think Liz "old lady" who is "50#'s overweight" wouldnt make a good mole (so she probably is the mole!! LOL) They just said Dr Whiner is safe, since she isnt there to take the test, she cant be executed..

Mark was twitching and looked like he was going to cry, not a good game face - but I really am only guessing!! Marcie was surprised and cried... Craig thought that Nicole should've gone home... in her exit interview she said she was ready to go home - I can believe that - I think this is a tough game... and I cant wait to see more!!

LOL at the previews... they were sitting around a dinner table, all prim and proper, someone said that they werent here to kill themselves, then you here Dr Nicole say "I'm gonna kill you while you sleep" Bobby isnt making any friends, he is slow, and they are not happy with him this week, or next week... I think a mole would have to fly under the radar???

I can't get into this show, and don't really know what I am talking about....but I've got the mole narrowed down to Alex, Ali or Kristen. FYI.

Victoria apparently had a green thumbprint on her helmet in the waterfall challenge- a clue?
