This is the current list of Bill's suspicious behaviour:

BILL:
.refused to wear diaper
.went to bar to get Bribs and Ali when they were waiting for the train... did not return promptly as promised
.said "Holy Mole-y" when Dorothy answered the algebra question in the quiz challenge
.only lasted 8 minutes in treading water challenge after saying he was good in the water - but he is oldest in the group
.in interview after the treading water challenge he said a lot of "mole-like" behaviour happened in that challenge, the screen then immediately switches to a shot of him (Bill) going underwater
.ate ice cream after being told they weren't allowed more food
.insisted on being second in gnome challenge, unclear why
.noticed Heather was greasing his gnome (which was against the rules) but didn't stop her
.lost time in gnome challenge by not having his photo taken
.broke his gnome, possibly on purpose

The suspicious behaviour of the others is listed in the other thread, I might have missed some, but Bill really does seem to have done a lot more obvious things than the other players. The only one close is Heather.

But maybe I'm being a bit biased as he's been my choice as the mole from day 1, and therefore I've paid a lot more attention to him.

I agree Bill does look to be the Mole....
But I can't help wondering why he didn't mess up the car in the greenhouse challenge? That car had to start-up without any prior testing! I've worked on some cars in my life and I can tell you there are a thousand ways Bill could have secretly made sure that car didn't start. And no one would have really been suspicious either.... After tearing the thing apart and turning it on it's side, it's a miracle it DID start.

Yeah, I agree there, and did you notice they got some other person in (I mean someone other than Anderson) to try and start it, presumably in case they accused Anderson of flooding it or something. Maybe Bill was too busy trying to plant that little sticker in someone's diary to do something to the car. Or perhaps he thought there was no way it would start anyway!

Just a thought because I have severe doubts that Bill is the mole, if you watch the bags at the end of the show when they are doing the executions, Bribs' bag is the only one with masking tape on it with his name. Is this a clue? Personally I think Dorothy is the mole, simply because they've made it incredibly obvious so then she is taken out as a suspect. I do agree that Bill has done some strange things and there are clues but isn't that the way the show is designed? I mean, they've dropped hints that any one of the remaining people could be the mole. Just waiting for Tuesday night now...

The Bribs bag thing is because Bribs' real name is Michael (remember it said that in the Burn the Bags game?), and that was originally on the bag. He wanted it to say Bribs, not Michael, so he changed it with tape.

You're right about the idea of the game is for the contestants to do suspicious things. If it was just the things Bill had done, I would think that Bill was too unsubtle to be the Mole. But his actions along with the "The Mole is 00Bill00" on the telegram and now the clear "Admiral" in the opening credits now have me almost 100% convinced it's him. I didn't like either of those "clues", their meaning is too clear (once someone else with sharp eyes points them out!), but I can't believe the producers would put in something that is blatantly misleading to that extent. I really like that idea Faerygods (I think) had about Bribs and the slices of blueberry cake, that was a real teaser, there's no way to know if it's coincidence or a clue - if each episode had a clue as clever as that I'd enjoy the game much more.

As it is I'm going to have severe egg on my face if it turns out not to be Bill .

Not sure if this is a clue or not, but usually at the end when they show each quiz question, they only show the mouse arrow moving up and down and never actually click on an answer. Tonight when the question was asked about the order the mole was interviewed, they clicked on the answer fourth. It just seemed out of place for them to click on one and I can't remember who was interviewed fourth tonight.

Saphyre, I agree with that, I thought that too. But I have no idea who was interviewed fourth.

Katt-didn't know that about Bribs' name. Have missed a few espisodes. But Bill was the most suspicious tonight, I will have to say that I am leaning more towards him now. I have read the clues that people have taken and it's definitely jaded my perception. LOL!

If the mole turns out to be Bill it will be disappointing. The clues have been too obvious, once found. Some very blatant (admiral in the opening) and others it took a dedicated seeker (telegram). There have been no obvious clues that point to another player. They are not confusing us with other suspects. How can it not be Bill?

Bat, you are reading my mind. If Bill is the Mole... they gave it away... I am hoping Bill isn't the Mole and all the clues are to trick us!

The only reason I don't think it is Heather is that she is a lot like Kathryn from last year and I think they would pick someone different.

I think Dorothy is very suspicious.

I think it is Al - But, then I though it was Brib's for a while! LOL!

Last night - they asked "Are you the mole?" of each

Heather - "No, I am not the mole" (there was no eye movement . . . liers tend to blink quite a bit or look to their right or left - the direction I can't remember)

Al - "I can't possibly be the mole if I have this sitting in front of me" - (He had Brib's can of Mole killer) - Notice he didn't say "No" - His eyes were directly towards the camera - but his statement wasn't direct so he wasn't really lieing.

Dorothy - "No, I am not the mole" . Now she did blink her eyes - but, it was a purposeful close rather than an unconscious blink.

Bill - "One of these three are lieing because I am not the mole" - eyes straight toward the camera - no blinks.

Al is the mole!

I agree Need. I think it is AL also for all the reasons I posted in the Al is suspect thread. IF we are right, he has done an excellent job of fooling the others as he was voted least likely to be the mole by the other 4.

i don't think al is the mole because when they were doing the invader game and he was the one to catch heather when he was running through the alleys they had on the wall above him the no sign (circle with the / in it) you had to really be looking for it but if anyone taped it you can go back and look...

anyway only my opinion...

Aloha, good catch! I am going to re-wind..........

to me, it looked as if bill slid his eyes slightly to the left. supposedly when people are questioned, looking down and to the left can be an indicator they are being less than honest.
i did see the 'no' sign aloha wrote about, too, when al was in the alleys.
the 00's before and after BILL in the telegram 'message' could indicate a double-negative. therefor, bill is 'not not' the mole, which would make it a positive statement: bill is the mole. just guessing here!

Bill is the mole. Ho hum.

If Bill is not the mole this show is excellent.

Car, I was thinking that choosing someone exactly like Kathryn would be a good move. Heathers tears and frustration looked very real though.

Her saying she would swear on her Bible if she had it was not, however. Swearing on her ring? Nah.

I know the damn mole is Bill yet I still consider the others because I don't want this to be true.

Whoever the mole turns out to be, I will say....I knew it! because I have suspected all four of them at one point or another.

This show makes me nuts. I love it. Survivor and The Mole are the best of the lot.

Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:25 am EditMoveDeleteIP
i agree, fruitbat. survivor and mole---and for me, amazing race--are tops. i have just about given up on the motley crew (sic) of BB3. i am starting to think it should stand for Big boob 3.

I still believe the mole is Bill, BUT, did anyone see the ring Dorothy was wearing? When she and Heather were in their room Dorothy flashed her hand in front of her face and she had a ring with a green stone that looked like a thumb print. It anyone taped the show take a look and see what you think. If she is the mole, she's a great actor!

Whoever is the Mole is a great actor! I think it is Bill because his behavior has been the most suspicious for me. I will surely miss Bribs - he gave 110% at everything he did!

I agree about Bribs, TTF. I also really liked Darwin. I really thought one of them was the Mole. I suck big time at that game!! I guess I'm going to have to go with Bill. I really hate to give in to the "Bill is the Mole" theory, but I guess I'll have to go with it.

I thought Bill was the mole when he and Darwin got to pick the contestants in the first challenge. This was the one where there were three games and Bill/Darwin had to pick who did what and how much each game was worth. Bill as the mole knew an exemption would be offered in the last game (Elavia and the bungee) so he knew to make that game worth no money... getting suspicion off of him.

I think when Bill was telling Al to go during the game he didn't push the 'talk'button on the walkie talkie, that way, when he was saying 'we see her Go! GO!' they others would hear him, but not Al, who was supposed to. Ithink Al figured that out and might win now

People haven't talked about the dollar bills as a clue for a while, and now that I've been thinking about it some more, why on earth would they have them write on a dollar bill instead of a regular sheet of paper? That is SO a clue. To Bill.

who was the 9th person introduced on episode 1? there were 9 fingerprints for heather to find 5 of. or was the 5 an important number? just a thought. maybe the cat was a clue? or the barking dog. man, i thought the dog was going to give heather away big time!
