Norwican | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:49 am  I enjoyed the first episode... but it's going to take at least one more for me to sort them all out. I was helping my son with his homework while it was on - so didn't give it my full attention. Looks like it will be very fast-paced and exciting! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:50 am  It was odd. I have ruled Stevan out as the mole, for now anyway. Seems he is trying too hard to draw attention to himself in an awkward way. Out of character for an undercover cop. (after this show he is out of that job!) A macho guy showing fear and nausea after skydiving is possible but unlikely. He may have felt it, but covering it with bravado would be the predictable MO. What that means, I am not sure. The napkin incident smacked of a poor attempt at a personal strategy of some kind. |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 07:59 am  I forgot about the napkin, and so it seems did they. Was it ever brought up again? Or examined carefully? And why would he pass it to one person? I would have jumped up and called for everyone to come and see it. Very interesting! |
Sbw | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 08:01 am  That napkin incident - did the mole really put the note there or did the producers do it? Or did the mole put the note there because he was told to do so or did he think this idea up all on his own. (He does mean he/she.) |
Mishamisha | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 08:07 am  It's interesting...if you think about the fact that The Mole doesn't have to stress about being executed, we should really watch carefully their reactions each time the tests come up. I think Kathryn & Kate looked most genuine when they showed surprise/relief at having passed the test, while some (like Henry) seemed rather cool when answering the questions Does anyone who speaks French have an opinon on how well Jim interpreted the instructions? |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 08:28 am  I think it is safe to assume that the mole is told exactly what to do. Even talk shows are scripted. There is big money in TV and they would never leave it up to a player, no matter how well connected with the production, to wing it and improvise his own. |
Wink | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 08:36 am  I think the fact that Kathryn wrote 1963 for Kate's graduation is somehow signifigant. Do you think they get to discuss what they did to figure out the pin with the group later. If they do the fact that she gave the 4 digits instead of the 2 that everyone else had could mean she isn't the mole (cause that would have been an easy sabotage) or she is and that would deflect suspicion away from her. |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 08:40 am  I agree Fruitbat. It could all be over in two episodes if they left it up to the individual to decide how to strategize and sabatoge. They are going to have to be really tricky, and probably make others in the group look guilty of failing a mission. They may pit them against each other, oh the drama of it all. It's soooo exciting! |
Guruchaz | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 09:21 am  Screwing around? Darn! I knew I forgot to do something. uh huh huh |
Guruchaz | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 09:44 am  Crap. I messed up the quiz. I couldn't remember who landed first or what the name of the city was the ATM was in. I thought a woman jumped out first so I guessed Wendi. |
Willi | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 11:23 am  Sorry I missed this thread last night! Next week I'll make it over after the show which I LOVED! My initial instinct was that the Mole is Jim...However, now I'm feeling like it's a woman. Hhhhhmmmm. It sure could be Kathryn... |
Willi | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 11:27 am  Misha, I thought Jim did well with the French (hence me changing my mind about him being the Mole). I did notice they seemed to "dawdle" on their way to the ATM...Maybe it's just me? I would of ditched the bikes and RAN like a bat out of H E double toothpicks |
Dolplady | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 11:38 am  I was impressed with the 1st program! I think it'll be a really cool program -- I'll look forward to it each Tuesday! Haven't made any decisions about the Mole yet. Maybe in a couple more weeks. |
Enbwife | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 04:10 pm  Manuel was on ET tonight. He said he was devastated to be executed from the game, however, didn't show it because of the "macho thing"... |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 10, 2001 - 04:37 pm  That is sad. Such a precious man. |
Willi | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 08:10 am  I miss Manuel |
Putterboy | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 12:24 pm  It is sooooo early but I also think it is a woman and left handed .. now I must see who is left handed next week. Not Kathern tho. I will committ for sure after week 4, maybe........ should be fun show. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 12:33 pm  I have ruled out Kathryn, Stevan and Kate. Left handed...hmmmmmmm.....any reason why? I am not committing to anything but that is where I am now. Charlie is out too. Wendi is high on my list as a possibility. |
Willi | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 01:04 pm  Fruitbat, I saw a commercial on TV for "The Mole" today...I saw this womans face and thought...Ah hah! It's her! It was Wendy. Now I see you think maybe Wendy too...MMMMmmm. Can't wait til Tues |
Enbwife | Thursday, January 11, 2001 - 06:02 pm  Love speculating!!! Have no clue who the Mole is yet... |
Enbwife | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 05:18 pm  For your info - Ottawa Sun article: Reality TV still has our attention. Tuesday's premiere of ABC's The Mole drew an estimated 18 million viewers, finishing second to CBS' Jag. ABC won the night, averaging 13.9 million viewers to CBS' 13.6 million. NBC has 12.6 million nad Fox 11.7 million. The Mole scored well amoung young adults. Tuesday's season premiere of NYPD Blue won its time slot with 16.3 million viewers, beating NBC's Dateline by 2.6 million viewers. |
Scribe | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 09:41 am  Mish, I wrote a rather long note on Jim's french conversation, but put it on the Clues thread. |
Mishamisha | Sunday, January 14, 2001 - 10:21 am  thanks, scribe! |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 01:11 pm  Enbwife...I have no clue who the mole is either. The difference here, is that I am compelled to hypothesize, with absolutely no sound reasoning, sense, or information. |
Enbwife | Monday, January 15, 2001 - 04:12 pm  LOL Fruit! That's fun. |
