Pamy | Saturday, May 25, 2002 - 03:24 pm     Thanks Car, these are great!!! This is the guy that I think is the Mole, because of the scene in Ep 3, when they all get wine, he is only one that gets red

Grooch | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 08:06 am     Area man digs 'Mole 2' fun, maybe fortune By Adam Graham / The Detroit News Charles V. Tines / The Detroit News Rob Nelson, 23, of Rochester Hills readies for his 15-minutes-plus of "Mole 2" fame on ABC. ROCHESTER HILLS -- When Mole 2 suddenly vanished from ABC's schedule last fall, it wasn't just viewers who forgot about the reality program. "The other day, I totally forgot that I was ever on the show," says cast member Rob Nelson of Rochester Hills, who competed in the show last summer in Switzerland. "It took somebody reminding me for me to remember, 'Oh, yeah, I was on that show.' " Mole 2: The Next Betrayal, the follow-up to the successful reality series The Mole, premiered last September on ABC. It followed 14 players ages 22-58 scurrying around the Swiss Alps participating in various challenges (riding bikes, shooting crossbows, dressing up in cow suits and asking locals for directions), all while trying to determine who among them is the titular Mole, working to sabotage their missions. Nelson applied for the show because he was thoroughly impressed with The Mole, which he felt was an intellectual step above Survivor or Big Brother. And for other, more obvious reasons. "I wanted to have some fun," he says. He did. Unfortunately, viewers weren't as excited. Mole 2 met with tepid ratings and was yanked off the air after only three episodes, making it the first serialized, unscripted series to be pulled in the middle of its run. All of which left cast members like Nelson hung out to dry. Their contracts stipulated no money would be given out unless all the episodes were aired. Players were competing for up to $1 million. Nelson never thought there would be a problem with the shows airing. "Since the first season did so well, there was no doubt in my mind that all the episodes would air," says Nelson, 23, a videographer who, with his exaggerated spiky 'do, resembles your friendly neighborhood punk rock star. "And since every other reality show is airing, and a lot of them are horrible, why wouldn't this one air?" After pulling the show, ABC initially said it would put Mole 2 back on the air in January or March. Nothing came of it, and Nelson stopped holding his breath. "I was done with the show," he says. Now, ABC is putting all 13 episodes of it back on the air with back-to-back shows beginning at 8 tonight. Another back-to-back pairing will air next Tuesday, with the show then settling into a regular 9 p.m. time slot on June 11. "I'm really happy it's coming back on, just so he can get it finished," says Susan Nelson, Rob's mother. "But he's moved on. This coming back, it kind of puts us back a year." For Nelson, who still won't tell whether he's the mole, he's just happy Mole 2 will finally air so that his family can see it. And so he can get paid. "The winner gets a hell of a lot of money," he says. "And everybody else gets a fair amount, too." |
Crazydog | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Pamy, do you mean he gets red wine, or his face turns red from the alcohol? Are you saying he is allergic to wine and he said he has no allergies? |
Pamy | Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Crazy, he got served red wine and everyone else was served white wine. I think it is this guy, if he is the young blonde with spiky hair, I will find out for sure afer I see again tonite.  |
Pamy | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:14 pm     Yes it is Rob but the scene I remember will be the one that airs next tues

Grooch | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:16 pm     I don't think it is Rob. In the article above, he says he has forgotten all about the mole. If you were the mole or the winner, would you forget about it? No, you would be waiting for the show to re-air. |
Car54 | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:21 pm     Unless you ARE the Mole and you plant this article to run when the show re-airs. See you can twist this just about any way! |
Webkitty | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:26 pm     I've been keeping note on everyone this time so I'll throw some observations in here, just in case The bike challenge - He almost didn't make it back up the hill and threw up on the way. Lost $ at the casino. His favorite food: cold cut trio. Anderson is show eating what looks like the above during the bungee jumping challenge. (whatever this means) |
Pamy | Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 07:45 pm     I am sticking with Rob is the Mole, also it says he is a magician when they show his name on the screen

Corriecat | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 03:51 pm     Rob said he would not have taken the exemption if he were given the chance when asked about the ones given to Dorothy and Lisa. If he is the mole he doesn't need it. If he is not the mole he's crazy or really sure of his choice for mole. I think Rob is the Mole. |
Webkitty | Thursday, May 30, 2002 - 06:13 pm     I've been thinking about that aricle above, and if its true that he "forgot" he was on the show, it must mean that he got executed early, right? But then, he says everyone gets alot of money, how would he know what the final pot was if he didn't stay until the end? I read somewhere (I think it was an interview with Bob, 1st player executed) that they sent him straight home once he was out of the game. I think there is a clue in the above article. It seems kind of stange that the players would be allowed to do interviews before this was even shown again. Ummmmmmmm |
Neko | Tuesday, June 11, 2002 - 07:07 pm     Everyone who plays gets a specific amount of money. And he's not the mole. Trust me on that on. LoL I'm sad...I was beginning to like him... |
