Leap | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 12:37 am  My prediction at the beginning was Jennifer and I am sticking with it because I am stubborn. I don't think it is Steven because I don't think the show would make it so obvious to the home viewers. I am suspicious, however, of both Charlie and Kate. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, January 31, 2001 - 04:33 am  Wilson...that makes a lot of difference. Faced with that group I would choose Jennifer. Bold, risk taker, strong etc. She is on the top of my list after last nights show and you helped confirm my supicions. She is very vocal about pointing the finger at someone each episode and is indignant with every "mistake" another player makes. This may be overacting a little on her part. However, everyone except Stevan, showed genuine fear at being shot by the sniper. There was that frantic panic in Jennifers eyes. Resorgirl....I absolutely agree. We are being manipulated by editing and Wilson stated earlier that on the Aussie Mole, they were not even shown all the sabatoge. |
Debi4514 | Thursday, February 01, 2001 - 07:22 am  I still suspect Jennifer and Steven the most, and if it isn't Steven, he is the biggest slacker I've ever seen! |
Fawkes82 | Sunday, February 04, 2001 - 11:21 am  I'm suspecting Charlie....in the laser tag game (lol don't know what it was called)I watched him very closely and he didn't even mind when he was shot, he wasn't taking anay precautions not to get caught or anything like that....... Was he the one who was doubting the guy who had to run through the university? (not very good with names!) I'm still surprised he's in this...... |
Twiggyish | Sunday, February 04, 2001 - 04:34 pm  Let's keep sharp eyes on things ..it will be easier to spot the mole with less players. |
Wilsonatmd | Sunday, February 04, 2001 - 06:16 pm  Fewer players doesn't necessarily mean the mole will be easier to spot. Mistakes by anyone will be more glaring, especially task-losing ones. The mole has to be careful, but the mole also knows that others mistakes will reflect poorly on them. Exemptions will also play a crucial role in this. They'll probably require a player to hurt the team more than help them now, and going for one makes you an instant suspect. I still think the mole is either Charlie or Steven. If neither of them are, one will make the final three, maybe even win. If one is, the other will probably get eliminated. I don't know why, just a hunch there. |
Fruitbat | Monday, February 05, 2001 - 03:59 am  My hunch is Stevan right now. I ruled out Charlie early on and still stand with that. One reason is his age, he seems a little vague at times and not all that sharp. Not a likely pick to play the Mole. However when he looked in the production van and was caught..........it looked authentic........but why would they even have a camera on the van? All they had to do was lock it if there was anything telling inside. Jennifer gets worked up over possible sabatoge and it looks very real. She was very aggitated with Kate not having told her where to go to find Anderson after she released her. Stevan was supposed to check in with Jennifer every minute and didn't. When he finally showed up he made he made no attempt to be outraged at them leaving without him or upset that Jennifer did not get his contact. |
Twiggyish | Monday, February 05, 2001 - 09:02 am  True..but then again..Steven is an obvious choice.. and yet, during the hunt challenge when Kate was at the church, Steven appeared to be the least cautious. It is confusing! |
Putterboy | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 08:18 am  who goes tonight?? Kate |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 09:39 am  If Kate stays I'll have to consider her a possibility for the Mole. I don't think so right now. Her behavior reeks of middle aged woman having an experience. She just radiates sincere. I think Charlie will go. Not sure if this is wishful thinking or good intuition. I find him repugnant. Twig...I have thought Stevan too obvious from the start too and never considered him until now. One thing that is sticking in my mind is the very first challenge of skydiving. His reaction was not authentic. He feined nausea and fear. My son used to skydive and he observed everyone high after their first jump no matter how scared they were. Part of it is just touching the ground...anything you felt on the way down is superceeded by being down, at last. Another aspect is a contact high from the others in the group. There is tremendous pressure to love it. Usually women will admit that they loved it but would never do it again. Men in general just never come back but walk away with bravado. Why would an undercover cop not fit into the package of brave, macho man? It was act but why? Covering being the Mole or trying to look like the Mole? |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 09:41 am  I don't know who will go tonight. Maybe Charlie. He was crying to his wife last week about how much he regretted being there. If he isn't the Mole it should be easy enough to bail. He obviously knows enough correct answers to stay. I do know who won't be going. Jim the mole will be back. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 09:41 am  I'll add that I think either choice is misguided. There is no way the mole should or should not act. I just think he may think there is and have acted the part, whatever that may be. |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 09:46 am  Roller....I am so impressionable. Now I think it is Jim. One reason is that the producers would have picked someone very bright for the part. He stands out as capable of pulling it off. Stevan is kind of dull. Forget Charlie, way too old and confused. Kate...no for same reason I noted above. |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 10:03 am  I agree. Jim is head and shoulders above the rest. Dull describes most of the cast. Dense also comes to mind. To one degree or another, they are all acting the way they think they should act. Some are just more transparent than others. |
Digilady | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 11:40 am  I still think Jen is the dreaded Mole (watch, she'll get bumped tonight). She just "overacts" IMHO, and too many things don't work when she's around. The maze, and the last time she communicated with walky-talky- it's funny how it never works for her. Steven still as #2! Who is out tonight? Steven! Why? I saw it in my crystal ball. <snark> |
Rollerboy | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 03:45 pm  Most people find walky-talky use difficult initially, perhaps that explains it. I really don't think she's the Mole. Of course, my opinion is largely based on facial expression and body language when execution is in progress. Who knows? |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 05:31 pm  Steven, Steven, Steven |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 05:57 pm  Well I am amazed!!! Who would of thunk it? Now we know Jen is not the mole..but it sure looked like someone set her up to look like it. Steven is looking more and more guilty. |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 06:01 pm  Great show tonight, right Digi? |
Sbw | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 06:10 pm  I originally said it was Jim. I still think he is the most likely. However in thinking back to the first episode when Steven got the note and tried to get rid of it and about the posing nude business...... The mole supposedly is told what is going to be occurring in the future. If the mole knew there was to be a note, he wouldn't have wanted it so that would explain why he was trying to get rid of it. Why would almost total strangers have a talk about posing nude... unless they knew it could be an option in the future for them. He didn't seem to make much effort to communicate when they were trying to find Kate. So now Steven is moving up fast as my #1 pick. |
Digilady | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 06:37 pm  YAA! OI I missed it totally except where Jen got the boot. Back to Steven. Ya'll just watch - his butt will be out =next= week ROFLMAO! |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 06:38 pm  I now think it is Steven. According to the producers, they picked the mole from the group of ten the night before production began, which led me to believe that it was one of the cops (Steven or Charlie). The way Charlie acted in the smart,resourceful,stupid challenge (which was partly in his control with the guidebook), which I thought could be a perfect Mole opportunity, leads me away from him now. With my luck he's gone next week. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 09:02 pm  Jen's overreacting seems to have been just her "style".. instant suspicion.. but she's out. The preview showed Stevan and Jim in a pact that they'd try to eliminate all but the two of them and the Mole.. not sure exactly how and of course either one could BE the Mole I'm thinking it is one of them. It was nice seeing most of them with their loved one.. made them more real. |
Egbok77 | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 10:31 pm  I'm thinking the Mole is Kathryn . . .just a gut feeling. Steven sure has been high on my list from the beginning but now I'm taking a closer look at Kathryn. Gonna miss Jennifer's emotions and whining. She was very entertaining and added a lot to this TV show. |
Leap | Tuesday, February 06, 2001 - 11:30 pm  Very bummed that my pick is out. I was suspicious of Kate last week. I am even more suspicious now after she was trying to get the Smart team back to the hotel and she didn't just tell them exactly where to go. Charlie had to call back and tell them. Steve is also a possiblity for all the reasons people stated above. Additionally, Kathryn always says Steven is the mole. Is she isn't the mole and he is the mole, she is still on the show because she is voting correctly. Jim has really stayed under the radar. He really doesn't do anything suspicious - maybe he is the mole. But, I guess I am leaning toward Kate right now even though she seems a bit too obvious. |
