Enbwife | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:24 pm  Yeah right Ocean - hahaha.. I can't picture you crying when Manuel got the boot. I think you're talking about Jennifer in your last post. |
Enb | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:25 pm  I agree with Azriel, gimme more personal interactions and bonding between them. We need to see come character develpment. There didn't seem to be much of that tonight. |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:34 pm  There's too many characters right now for much of that I think. |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:38 pm  They can only cram in so much within an hour, but I still feel like it was a good introduction to who some of these people are. It will take a few episodes to evaluate their personalities. As for Wendi bringing up something she wasn't supposed to talk about on the one challenge, I don't know what to think. It wasn't the person who answered the question who lost the $10,000 but the person who asked it (Wendi). It could have been a mistake. This whole show is a play on paranoia and escalating valid mistakes. It's anybody's guess at this point. |
Scribe | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:40 pm  I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. I thought it was itnelligent and certainly the locations were sphisticated, intriguing and the presentation fast passed. Liked it. |
Shmoopie | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:43 pm  I loved this show! All of my friends already called and said "ok, we've lost her to her next Big Brother".. lol Although they're different, they could be right! I forget her name, but the girl who brought up the screens while Jim and Afi were out biking was my first guess of the mole, and that was just based on first impressions before the show even started.. Anyone else got any "first impression" guesses, BEFORE watching the entire show, and thoroughly reading all the profiles? I'm just curious to know. Also I'm glad to be back and having lots of reason to be frequenting the board even though I'm a lot busier than during the BB days... I've missed a lot of the posters and funny posting while I've been lurking.. hope to become a good part of the board again! |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:47 pm  Stay tuned for more whackiness. uh huh huh  |
Scribe | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:48 pm  I have no idea yet. Not even if its a female or male. I need a few more episodes to start to put together the information. FOund myself just trying to keep the 10 new faces straight. I did tape the show so if I have a chance I may look back over the hour. More likely I'll wait until I see next week's and then compare the folks reactions. But I like this show so far. |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:56 pm  Halfway through the show, I told my brother,'DUH! Why the hell aren't we taping this?' I know I'm going to be taping all the rest of the episodes. |
Digilady | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 07:57 pm  Cool, wasn't it? I liked the part at the airport: MOLE: Destination: unknown! I have no clue who the mole might be. So far, it feels like a female... we'll see! |
Noslonna | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 08:49 pm  It was funny the way Henry answered when asked if he was the mole... sounded like Digi's, "MUAHahhahahahha"! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 09:09 pm  I did tape it. I wanted to watch it again just in case I over look a tiny detail or something. |
Egbok77 | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 09:16 pm  West Coaster here. I really, really liked this show!! Okay, I'll admit it . . . I got teary-eyed when Manuel was "executed" - poor thang!! I taped the show too and like Misslibra (who can keep secrets by the way!!) I will be watching this tape again and again and again for all those little details. Also, I can't begin to tell you how hard it was for me NOT to log on when I came home from work to see what you all had posted around here!! It's nice to be back on the boards to lurk around here again. |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 12:11 am  Ok folks, this is going to be great! Guru, I like your style over here! No screwing around, you call it like you really see it--I like that! Az, we need to talk about this show--we could have some great conversations. No wimps here playing the game. (ok, not too wimpy) Gail, I know you are out there. This is right up your alley. Is this going to rock, or what?! Damn it's feeling good to be in the middle of a game! Looking forward to Game II as well. Everyone see the application section and apply quickly! It's something you won't experience anywhere else!! |
Iggy | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 02:32 am  i didnt see anyone mention this in this thread yet, but did anyone else think it was kinda strange they found the 'notes' while re-packing everyone's things? what if she put it there just to make them think she's NOT the Mole (since her notes make it seem like she's trying to figure out who it is, since it couldnt possibly be her). i just happened to think it was kinda strange that the notes were found in someone's baggage that wasen't there with them. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 03:32 am  I love this show. I'm bummed I couldn't be on this thread last night. That will never happen again. Nice to see some old posters back...hello all. Stevan is a curious and off putting guy. The comments about his wife in his bio set that up but I did not find his personality at all compelling. He is such a macho guy that I found his reaction after skydiving very odd. If his strategy is trying to appear as the mole he is doing a poor job. Just too obvious. The real mole has probably picked up on this thus giving him the message in the napkin. Why was he trying to put it on Kathryns chair? An undercover cop should not be this obvious so if he is the mole he is acting all over the place. Good point Iggy. Were they in Ari's bag? I don't like Charlie or Jennifer at all on first impression. I liked Kathryn, Wendi and Henry straight away. Lance...I am thrilled to have a game going also. |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 05:58 am  Lance, I know we are going to have some good conversations about The Mole. On The Mole homepage they have the Mole quiz up for this week. I got all 5 correct! You get entered into the weekly drawing for a TiVo and have a chance to win the grand prize a Nissan Sentra. They also have an Execution Poll up. And a summary of the player Quiz. Check it out.  |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:10 am  You can also vote for the most valuable player for the week. Jim, Kathryn and Manuel are up. Manuel is in the lead right now. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:16 am  Azriel...just went there and didn't get them all right. They didn't tell me which one I missed but it must have been the town, I guessed at that and knew the rest. I voted for Katherine as the most valuable. I think Manuel in the lead is a smpathy vote for a very sweet man. Katherines knowing to put 1963 was invaluable as the mistake probably would not have gotton detected had the pin not worked. Jim knowing French...nah......sing language works especially when you are holding a map. Bad choice of colors on the percentages! black on dark blue...I could barely read it. You too? |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:23 am  Yeah, I thought the same thing about the colors. I had to move up and squint to see it. I thought #5 was really worded funny, too. The two people that actually did the equation for the pin number were not listed. The people that searched out the atm machine were listed. That wasn't what the question asked for, but it was the only two people involved in the assignment, so I chose them. |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:33 am  Awww, I voted for Manuel. I really identified with the terrified jumpers in the first assignment. I told my brother that they wouldn't be sitting down there waiting to see if I would jump. They would still be back at the airstrip dragging me kicking and screaming on to the plane. I'm serious. They would have outright lost the money if I was along because I would not have even gotten on the plane in the first place if I knew they might push me out of it.  |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:42 am  Your awwwwwwww gave it away. Sympathy all the way. I would have been with you in the hangar, but then again I wouldn't have applied to a show where anything goes in the way of challenges. They all signed up knowing full well they would be pushed. I don't respond well to extreme physical feats of any kind. Free weights and walking fast is it for me. |
Azriel | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:46 am  Nod, Fruitbat. I went to the webpage when they were taking applications, but didn't submit one because of the description. I'm not into physical challenges. I could be a BB participant, but I'm strictly a Survivor observer. |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 06:52 am  I agree with you Azriel and Fruitbat, I wouldn't jump from a plane or eat a slug. Peer pressure is a very strong motivator though. If 9 people were going to be super ticked off at me who knows what I would do. I just could never sign up for those shows. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:22 am  Okay...What was the deal with Steven getting the note in his napkin and then trying to pass it to Kathryn under the table without even looking at it first? Did he already know about it? Did he just happen to sit at the place where the hidden note was placed and wanted someone else to see it? Or perhaps he didn't want to call any attention to himself and wanted someone else to reveal it to the group. Just makes you want to go ...hmmmm. |
