Roamjotiba | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 10:30 pm     Tuesday July 16 episode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dont read if you don't want to know . . . . . The Mole II: The Next Betrayal 60 min. A secret coalition is formed by two players determined to systematically oust each of their colleagues until the final execution. Meanwhile, the entire team faces a challenge that could net a ton of money or a tempting exemption. Hosted by Anderson Cooper. |
Faerygdds | Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 04:45 am     OK... I reviewed the entire episode looking for clues... the clue is NOT in the Italia sign. The reason that the AL sticks out is twofold. First, it is the brightest part of the sign... and second, because the red blends into the brick of the next scene, the green is semi dark and also tends to go into the darker backbround, while the WHITE al pops out on Andersons dark shirt. You can take it for a clue... I prefer to think that Mensa is a little more clever than that. Now... here's my clue theory... It's the Statue of Guisepe Garibaldi. He is shown several times - go look when he shown for the importance.. I'm tired and don't feel like going back, but I mentally noted 2 of the times and I know you all, if I miss one shot of it I'll never hear the end of it lol... Looked him up on the web... he spent his whole life trying to UNITE Italy. Now, why is this important? Becasue our Mole isn't the person that failed to unite loved ones (Heather), but someone who DID unite loved ones (Darwin or Bribs) in the "eyes" games. Either that or it's one of the ppl who were (re)united with their loved ones during this game(Bribs, Darwin, Heather, and Bill). Remember that clues are done in the editing room with the help of outsiders. There is your clue... No, it is not an answer, but ABC doesn't tell you to look for the answer to who is the mole, they tell you to look for the clue as to who is mole. Like I said... I refuse to believe that MENSA, who helped make a lot of these clues would stick with flashing obvious letters, etc. My 2 cents... take it for what it's worth. |
Egbok | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 01:32 pm     Faerygdds, alright already, I'll give up the flashing "AL" clue - LOL!! Your post above is very interesting, I wouldn't think to place a statue as a clue. I appreciate your input here and your theory - this makes the ideas start to flow in my head once again. I still don't know who to pick for next weeks execution. Also, are you SURE the dog barfing isn't a clue? (just kidding!!)

Car54 | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 01:37 pm     LOL Egbok! This show is just too freakin hard. Give me some ol Survivor backstabbing and betrayal every time. |
Faerygdds | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 01:43 pm     LOL... nope I agree with someone else who said the dog was to show just how pathetic Katie and Dorothy's world was at that moment... either way.. it was GROSS. And they didn't place a statue as a clue.. the statue was already there . The producers find out the history of the places they go (the tourism boards I'm sure give them info), so naturally they would know that the statue was placed in honor of a man who tried to unite. So then they tell their mole... don't mess this one up if you can help it. Sorry to be so touchy about the flashing A thing, it's just that I visit 3 mole boards and EVERY week since the first one (flashing D in Switzerland) everyone has tried to make this a clue... and every week, the same 4 ppl debunk it... it just... ugh.. enough already lol... Nothing personal... you know I adore everyone here!  |
Car54 | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 02:12 pm     It's ok Faery, but if Al IS the Mole, you have to take us all to P'town, you know! |
Wink | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 02:14 pm     You are very persuasive Faerygdds. I'm almost convinced to change my Mole-Bill, Winner-Bribs pick. I'm going to wait one more episode to see the clue you find next before I make my decision. If it's as good as your others have been I'm there. |
Egbok | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 08:48 pm     Good thinking Car!! P'town or bust!!! Turtle tatoo or "AL" - I like it!! Hee-hee!
 |
Car54 | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 08:53 pm     Stick with me, we either dog Faery or we go to Florida to Nessietessie's but that would be pretty hot in the summer! I am still working on getting us to the Cape, Egbok! |
Faerygdds | Friday, July 05, 2002 - 09:16 pm     CAR!!! I'm so nice... why would you want to dog me?  |
Weinermr | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 02:14 am     I think Faerygdds is the Mole. No, just kidding. Either that, or Sherlock Holmes. Faery, you are quite observant and extremely sharp on all these visual notes throughout the show. I agree with you that the "clues", such as they are, are far more subtle than we would hope for. They will not just give away the identity of the Mole. I happen to believe that Heather is the Mole. I have no specific event to reference, only my collective impressions over the course of the show. I am probably completely wrong, but this is what I have thought since I was convinced Ali was the Mole and then she was executed. Keep sleuthing Faery. We truly appreciate your insights. |
Faerygdds | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 03:45 pm     Weinermr: You are in good company... my parents think Heather is the mole too |
Egbok | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 08:46 pm     Car, I'm here and I appreciate your diligent work on getting us to the Cape!! LOL!! Faerygdds, please don't take Car and myself too seriously...we are just having some fun with Fruitbat and you happened to get in the middle of our antics. I, like Weinermr, appreciate your insightful posts which always make me go "hhmmmm, that sounds resonable, that sounds good", but unlike Weinermr or your parents, I don't think Heather is The Mole. I'm totally clueless on who The Mole is and for awhile there, I was pretty sure Lancecrossfire was The Mole, but that's another story! Um...Car? Let's not dog Faerygdds (too much!!) Hee-hee!!

Car54 | Saturday, July 06, 2002 - 08:49 pm     Lance, the Mole? Now it all makes sense! Brilliant, work, Egbok! |
Wilsonatmd | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:01 pm     apparently there was a BIG clue in the opening credits this ep.....the normally nonsense jumble of letters and numbers in the background spelled a word for the first time: Admiral. |
Neko | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:04 pm     Wasn't Bill an Admiral?? |
Robbien | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:30 pm     Here's the link to that clue http://www.liquid2k.com/stevebev02/ |
Cinders | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:41 pm     I didn't catch the clue......(haven't caught any thus far) But I knew, I knew, I knew Bill was the mole!
 |
Hootyhoot | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 02:09 pm     Wow, that's impressive (the ADMIRAL clue). Or am I naive? Has anyone debunked the clue about the numbers on the telegram that were supposed to translate to Bill is the mole? This show is such fun ... I can't believe I spend SO much time thinking about it! |
Kitt | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 02:39 pm     Wow, someone's got sharp eyes! I still have the episode on tape and have just checked (call me suspicious ) and the word Admiral is clearly there. It's a shame that, to put it bluntly, Bill has sucked as the Mole. He's made it so obvious it was him that I was almost beginning to believe it couldn't be him... although I guess that could be his intentional strategy. It'd be much more fun if it was Bribs or Heather, or even Dorothy, they've all done some curious things whereas Bill just hasn't been subtle at all. That's assuming it IS Bill of course . |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 03:30 pm     Fine! WHATEVER!! I'm SO Done!! This Stinks!! (In my best teenaged girl tantrum throwing voice I can- sorry in advance to any teen roomies, I'm just going by the drama queens in my house..LOL) If Bill is the mole then I hope Heather and Bribs are the final two. And, I haven't said much about Dorothy (I don't think) but I kind of like her now. I think that she is pretty smart, and that makes her seem standoffish. I dunno.. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 09:10 pm     Can someone list what Bill has done to make it so obvious that he is the Mole? |
Missy666 | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:32 am     Jimmer some of the things he's done that have made him suspicous. Droped the knomb (sp?) when it didn't break he pushed down on it. Only paddled for a few minutes in the pool, refused to wear the diaper. These are all I can remember off the top of my head. However I still don't beleive he is the mole, I think the mole is AL, and that Bill has been on to him almost since the beginning and that Bill will win it all. I am hoping I am wrong, I want Heather to win and Bribs to be the Mole. |
Kitt | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 02:28 pm     Jimmer, go and look in the "Suspicious behaviour" thread, there's a list there of the suspicious behaviour of each player that's left. It's probably incomplete but I tried to catch most of the things I saw onscreen and in the other threads. If you can add any suspicious behaviour for him or another contestant, post it there and I'll add it to the list after the next episode. |
Jimmer | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 09:54 pm     I was thinking more about your and Mygetaway's comments where you said that "It's a shame that, to put it bluntly, Bill has sucked as the Mole. He's made it so obvious it was him that I was almost beginning to believe it couldn't be him" I just didn't think he had made it that much more obvious than the other players, but I'm not always the best at picking up clues. This is a great show by the way and I really enjoy the discussions on this board. |
