TV ClubHouse: Archive: The Mole Is... (HUGE **spoiler**):
Archive through June 05, 2002
Muse | Tuesday, June 04, 2002 - 11:30 pm     On TWoP, some people noted that the telephone number listed on the telegram from the Mole (in Episode Four) reveals the identity of the Mole. The numbers correspond to letters on the phone pad. Just in case someone opened this thread accidentally and/or decided they didn't want to know (I'm sort of sorry I do now!), I'm going to just list the numbers. It spells out "The Mole Is _______". You can fill in the blank. Oh, and just ignore the "0"s: 84366534700245500. And I *thought* this person seemed suspicious, too! |
Azriel | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 12:09 am     What is TWoP? |
Car54 | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 02:40 am     Television Without Pity- another fan site. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 04:42 am     I am sorry I went and figured that out. That is pretty big. How can this NOT be true, is my question. I suppose it could be a blatant lie but what would be the point? That would negate the entire premise for clues. |
Tntitanfan | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 05:18 am     It was my intention to just write down the numbers and put them away in case I decided I wanted to look! Well, darn it, all these years of working number puzzles betrayed me - I might as well have been writing down the letters of the alphabet! By the way, that person was my pick for mole!! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 05:30 am     I cannot pass up a puzzle either. I took just a mere glance to know. Those who do not want to figure it out....don't even look at the number. Well dang, that person was lowest on my list! |
Grooch | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:30 am     It makes sense. The other major thing that people thought was a clue in another episodeis correct also. So it must be true. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:45 am     I didn't want to believe this so I went to my tape to slow motion that scene again, where they show the telegram. There are all sorts of other #'s and names to be unscrambled on that page. (which I have NO patience for) but I think this has to be THE clue. ~the mole is~ then the name. This clue was designed for the avid clue collecter with a vcr that captures good clear freeze frames. My freeze frame was so fuzzy, if I didn't already know what the numbers where I wouldn't have been able to make them out. And no one who doesn't tape would have been able to get this. The scan of the telegram went too quickly, and the lettering was too faded. This puts a damper on things for me, sigh.....I'm still not sure how I feel about spoilers in general. (for any of these shows) I think I'll keep this info to myself and let my husband be pleased with himself at the end, he guessed this person the first episode and hasn't wavered. Yes, that makes me happy thinking about that moment. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:47 am     Grooch, what other clue in what other episode? (if you don't want to give it away here, just direct me to the thread, thanks)  |
Grooch | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:50 am     I might as well post it. If someone doesn't want to know, then they should have stopped reading after the first post. Th picture of the pisces and he is the only pisces in the group. |
Grooch | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:51 am     This could be fun in a way. Now that we know who it is, we can watch and see how he fools people. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 06:57 am     I don't believe it. I did unscramble the puzzle.. Could this be a red herring? Remember the Katie supposed Meadow Muffin clue. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:00 am     I missed the picture of the pisces, what episode? Yes, I guess your right Grooch. I just have been having a little snit over this. I'll get over it. Ummmm, who will his next victim be? (please, don't let there be any more spoilers for this!) I'll think about this while I'm working out and come back here later in a much better frame of mind. See ya!  |
Jan | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:05 am     can anyone give me the link for TWoP, Please?? |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:32 am     I will do that, too, Grooch. It gives a different perspective and makes it easier and more fun to guess who is out next, which was difficult before this spoiler, if not impossible anyway. Another clue that has merit is Anderson eating a sandwich on the bridge. (bridge being where an Admiral stands, for those that missed it) The sandwich? Who knows. |
Marysafan | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:37 am     I THOUGHT so! There sure was a lot of evidence pointing in that direction. I was being more convinced of it with each episode. Guess Patrick didn't think so! and he even had the telegram in his possession to look for clues! LOL! I sure hope my favorite player sees it. I want him to win! |
Jan | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:48 am     I tend to agree with Twiggy. Isn't this just too easy?? Could this be a red herring? It would have been so easy for them to use numbers in a difficult clue..eg representing words on certain pages of a book mentioned by a participant or something like that. But this is so transparent to the many bright puzzle solvers on the message boards (and I absolutely do NOT include myself there) they had to know that it would be solved in no time. I had convinced myself that the mole was either Bill or Katie...now I am wondering if Bill is a red herring?? |
Grooch | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:52 am     Look, ABC put "The Hamptons" on tv. They are not that bright to be doing a red herring. Give it up. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 07:56 am     I think this is a real clue. Remember that unless you taped the episode and have a good freeze frame it would be impossible to tell. There were many numbers on the telegram. Did anyone have a pen to write anything down or a phone pad handy? (I missed it) If this is not true it would be a blatant lie. No point in even trying to find clues. Clues are supposed to lead you to the answer. They could confuse or seem obtuse but not give totally false info. Yes? |
Grooch | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 08:29 am     What was the other Mole clue. Something about the letters of the 1st name of the people they show at thebeginningof the show. Ali, Briggs, Al, Bill = AKA Bill Anyone remember how that clue went? |
Lancecrossfire | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 08:42 am     I think looking for the clues provides for the possibility of finding them, and the answer. It's one of the potential pitfalls of looking. I also have to think that they throw in clues that are both right and wrong. MB did it with Survivor. Some were red herrings, some were accurate. Same with the mole last year. There were things they showed us that caused everyone to look like they could be the mole. I think over time it may be shown that consistently clues found lead to just one person being the choice. It is only the 4th show, so maybe others will be foind that leads further to Bill, or others that lead to another person. I love this game! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 09:03 am     I like this game too. The numbers spelled "The Mole is_____". That is very definitive. If other clues imply someone else is the mole, those would be the red herrings. Had a number just given a name I would have considered it possibly false or deceiving. I am banking that this is the truth and if it isn't I don't see the point in even looking for them in the next Mole. I will still enjoy it though. |
Neko | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 02:25 pm     *Blink* It took me about 10 minutes to realize I had to look at the phone pad!! Geezz....I'm not quick to catch on. It wasn't who I expected...I sort of this this is fake. I know ABC and The Mole know there are avid watchers like us and TWoP who would have caught that. Why give away the answer so little in the game and lose watchers who might end up being disapointed and stop watching... |
Webkitty | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 03:02 pm     Neko, because alot of people just watch The Mole, and never come to the internet to "spoil". The telegram clue was so fast, a casual observer would never get it, or if they did, but didn't tape the show, or didn't have a vcr, would not be able to figure it out either. It may seem like ~alot~ of people know who the mole is now, but the % of the viewing audience really doesn't.  |
Dahli | Wednesday, June 05, 2002 - 03:34 pm     Okay - maybe it's been a long day here but how do you know which letter on the phone pad you choose...? there are three lettters to each number - help! what am I missing here??  |
