WOW....I of course missed THE show that counted...but I am getting a sense fromt he posting...I NEVER seriously thought it was Kathryn..yes around the end it could have been any of the three but I admit I never thought it was Kathryn.

Very Good show...and if ti is as you all post that Anderson did not know the Mole then that really makes it good...I like that ...

Good that Charlie apologized to Kate..what is kind of funny did anyone notice how much Kate resembled the physical type of Charlie's wife...

But I agree withyou Fruit...too little too late..

I liked Steven as time past and am also glad he won...did Jim get anything? Did Kaythryn get anything?

Thanks all of you for the info.

I really don't like the folks on Survivor II but am glad its around now that the Mole is gone...of course I probably wont be home for that either!!!

Scribe...you didn't tape this last episode? It was very well done. Kathryn rejoining the group after she was exposed was dramatic and emotional. Kathryn talking about her actions and feelings was very interesting. Neat woman.

It was a great ending! Kathryn played the Mole so well, it seemed she didn't sabotage much of anything because from the start the others were bungling challenges on their own & blaming each other. Always said Kathryn had to be a great actress if she was the Mole. Well she sure was! She was so intense working hard on tests and then seemed really disappointed if they lost, and she was the one always saying she wasn't the Mole but Steven & Jim were the opposite. They played so mellow always saying, it's just a game. I never could bring myself to suspect Kathryn very much when more clues pointed to Steven. Then again, next time a player doth protest too much he/she isn't a Mole, well, maybe it's a clue they are? Awesome show! I kinda feel sorry for Jim but I'm happy for Steve, his undercover cop job is over & he needs the $. I think all the players had a good time and the viewers, too. Besides Charlie sniping at Kate it was so refreshing to watch as compared to the BB and Survivor shows that leave me fed up or bored with all the posing, whining, backstabbing, etc.. I'm going to miss The Mole..

EXCELLENT!!! I truly think this is the most intelligent reality show ever! As stated earlier, it's no wonder we were confused. Even when Kathryn tried to help them win a challenge, their own blunders blew it.

I'm SO looking forward to Mole II.

Now, how can we get ABC to buy a clue and do better promotion for this gem? Maybe someone from CBS and Mark Burnett's crew can give them some pointers. I know lots of people watching Survivor and tons who watched Temptation Island, but hardly anyone who watched The Mole. That's a shame.

Here's where ABC dropped the ball, big time. The news last night was supposed to have interviews with Kathryn, STeven, and Jim, but I was watching my tape so I didn't see if they showed it or not. (With all the earthquake coverage here in the NW, I don't know if they cut that segment.) So, this morning, I turn on the ABC morning show to see if they are interviewing them there. Guess what? Nothing was mentioned about the show at all!! Now, I didn't watch every minute, so maybe I missed it. But on CBS, they spend a LOT of time talking about Survivor on the morning show, even when they don't have anyone to interview. They get Letterman talking about it, too. ABC? Nothing.

Buy a clue, ABC. Promote this excellent show next time!!!!

Max and Riviere - I totally agree. I think this is the best of the reality shows. It keeps you guessing and the players are just average joes.

Anyway, I do recall reading in US or People earlier this year a very negative review of the show. It was really discouraging. I wonder what the rest of the national press said about it?

I watched GMA, and there wasn't anything. Part of it was that Stone/Stanley was so paranoid about secrecy that the contestants didn't even know how to contact each other until they reunited for ep9 about a month ago. Another part was GMA didn't want to do anything with the show; they consider themselves news. Regis was also a little miffed about losing the Tuesday slot, so his show may have been out. I don't understand this. Survivor has managed to keep most of their secrets. At least ABC knows what they should do with Mole 2.

Leap, the Entertainment Weekly reviewer originally gave it a D+, but wrote another article (online) retracting it because it started slow, but picked up steam as it went along. The review also called it the "most intelligent" and said it appeals to the widest demographic, since he and the reviewer's 11-year-old kid enjoyed watching it together.

While I enjoyed the Mole, the more I think about it, the more unreastic it was for us to discover who the Mole was. A lot of editing occurred.

Think about this, the last 4 people in the game suspected Kathryn was the Mole: Kate, Charlie, Jim, and Steven. Kate wavered and lost. Remember when she was leaving, she said, "I chose wrong." The last three had her pegged as the mole and only were eleiminted on questions such as "what did the mole eat for breakfast." Thus, she was not as good as the editing made it look.

Yup Fruit I not only missed but my son forgot to turn the tape on...ah well ... life goes on ... I repeat I never supsected Kathryn except in the sense anyone would of anyone who was left as one of the last 3. On the other hand, at least my 2 main picks were in the end and besides the one I was sure was the Mole won...now isn't that ironic...

Mole 2 I am going to get a tape that runs 15 HOURS and turn it on before I leave for work and that will be that.... no may 24 hours or 36.....

Never thought to turn on the small tv I keep in the office...now that was stupid...

Steve did a good job of fooling us, too. I think some of his actions were an act. This was to make others think HE was the mole. He did this to gather votes towards himself. Thus, he stayed in and won the game.

(I didn't completely buy into his act..and I didn't quite buy into Katherine either..lol)

I just want to go on the record stating, "I'm still not positive who The Mole is."

Wow!!! I just returned from my business trip to watch the Mole on tape. I was blown away. I was sure it was Jim or Steve... Not Kathryn. She did an amazing job. I'll be posting a show finale summary this weekend for those that didn't see the whole episode (sorry it will be so late!).
That was tons of fun watching the Mole. They're asking for people to apply for the next one. Anyone interested?

I agree I think 'The Mole' is one of the most exciting and intelligent reality series. It was tons of fun.

There was chat held at ABC.com Thursday and it answered some of the unaswered questions. I think the transcript will be out soon. The Final 3 will have Yahoo Chat on Monday 7PM ET/4PM PT if anyone is interested.

I think Kathryn did a great job, but as she admitted it really helped to have the Jim/Steven
alliance, where they were actually trying to seem like moles too.

I still want to know if she got any compensation; after all, she helped them make The Mole what it was.. I'd certainly be there watching a next season.
