Bbnation | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 06:58 pm     Hey. I was sitting watching the mole tonight that just ended in fact and I noticed when they did the pan of all the player bags lined up Bribs bag had his name on it but it was on with masking tape. Is Bribs The Mole? HMMMMM |
Marysafan | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 07:30 pm     I think in an earlier epsiode when the bags were burned, it was pointed out that Bribs' first name is really Michael. That is what they had on his bag. They must have put the tape over it to change the name on his bag to "Bribs" which is derived from his last name as I understand it. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 07:35 pm     I also posted somewhere here last week that when Darwin and Bribs were in the bedroom discussing who the mole was the camera zoomed in on his bag twice. ah ha do we have a clue. |
Marysafan | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 07:45 pm     Hmmmm....maybe you are on to something here. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 10:08 pm     well, the wine al had was LAMOLE. they showed it again at the table when they ate pizza.... |
Dogdoc | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 05:06 am     LAMOLE can become MALE O. The mole is therefore a woman. I still stand by Katie as the mole. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 09:55 am     is anyone from L.A.? i am standing by katie, too. |
Pottedplant | Wednesday, June 19, 2002 - 12:37 pm     right at the end of the show last night, when they showed all the monitors with the players names, Bribs name only, had a different background. |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 09:10 am     OK... this has nothing to do with th bage thing, but I did find something interesting. This has possible MAJOR spoilage info in it... don't read if you REALLY don't want to know. Early this spring someone pointed me to brib's website (www.Bribs.com). He has some artwork there. Well... I poked around the guestbook and I remember seeing an entry that said, "Hey MOLEFACE!" ... It was Darwin. I dismissed it at the time, but sort of filed it for later on as I had no context to put it in and didn't known if it meant anything or not. Well... I was rewatching last weeks episode (as I always do on Mondays before I have to make my picks) and I had totally missed the scene where Darwin, Dorothy, Elavia, and Al are in the van (at the beginning). And I had completely forgotten about the guestbook... until I heard it... When he (Darwin) called Elavia "exemptionface", my blood ran cold! So I went back and checked the guestbook again and interestingly enough... I could find Ali, Dorothy, Al, Lisa, and Katie's entries, but Darwin's "Hey moleface!" entry was deleted! I now have ZERO proof that what I am saying is true, but I SWEAR I read it.... I really do think Bribs is the Mole! Darwin was picking on Dorothy and Elavia for having so many exemptions, thus the expmtionface... there was my context.. he uses this little ___face thing when he is teasing someone about something he KNOWS! A little context could go a long long way... |
Rosie4040 | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 09:20 am     I noticed last week right after Elavia left that Bribs had this little smirk on his face right before Anderson started his, "Let's proceed with the execution". Darwin had the same smirk like they knew that there wasn't going to be an execution. I've watched that scene over and over to check out the expressions. But then I remember how long Bribs was treading water. |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 11:13 am     Yes, but Rosie... in the sink or swim game.. go back and watch. He KNOWS Katie is emotional, so if he is the mole, all he has to do is 1) Keep bugging the person figuring out the last clue, and 2)make sure he goes out before they figure it out. he then looks like the big hero for trying so "valiantly" and the guesser looks like a "shmuck"! Think about it... If *I* were the mole and in that good of shape.. I'd have played it the SAME way! He positioned himself as anchorman... it was perfect... |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 12:54 pm     by the same token, katie may think she looked as if she were 'valiantly' trying to solve the puzzle before bribs drowned! she teaches a foreign language, so should have had some idea of what romeo and juliet may have been written as in italian. and to insist she had all the letters and supposedly even counting and getting the 15 or whatever...when the missing letter was still in a highlighted square... it just seems they all have had their moments when you don't know if they are over-acting or really the mole! i mean, bill's spikey hair scared me a little!! lol |
Rosie4040 | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 02:17 pm     But then again, you're trying to convince the other players that you might be the mole so they'll suspect you and get executed. All this means is that I still have no clue who the Mole is. |
Faerygdds | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 02:39 pm     Me either... I'm getting ready after this week to do my famous "Mole Run" What I did last year about this time was sit down with several sheets of paper. Each had the name of a contestant on top. I watch each episode back to back for EACH contestant. Like I watch with the presumption that Katie is the Mole... then I do it all over again for Bribs, etc. That's how I nailed Kathryn (although I did have my suspicions from day 1 - ye old gut). This year my gut has said Bribs from the beginning... something about the Mole being the one who holds the Mole Killer... I dunno.... but I'll have my final pick before the week is out if all goes well... |
Mamaanja | Monday, July 01, 2002 - 03:25 pm     My gut has been Bribs, too. I've had him picked in the "Who is the Mole?" thread every week! Hopefully we are right, Faerygdds. Great spoiler! |
Delilah | Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 07:28 pm     Wowsers Faerygdds! Great perceptions there! As we know this show was taped months ago (probably last summer) so we may find clues on the ousted players sites. I am sure though that ABC has strict instructions on that but who knows, an astute fan (like you Faerygdds!) could pick out some clues. IMO, I think we'll have a Jimbo-Steve thingy again - Bribs and Darwin, I really hope one of those two wins and therefore is not the mole. Darwin is a lawyer - male Kathryn, too obvious? Heather looks like Kathryn, Al is too boisterous (although a major suspect) and Bill is definitely mole material. Dot looks like a Mole, but I can't stand her so I hope she goes next week. I don't know, we are getting down to the wire and maybe after next week I will be able to settle with one of them. Last year, I was convinced it was Steve so what do I know?  |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 04:19 am     Faery, I am going with your pick...I NEVER for one second suspected Kathryn in the first series...so that tells you how good I am. I was sure it was Jim or Steve! Be sure to post it so I can watch for your clues! |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 05:11 am     Never??? My husband and I are very good at reading people.... we kept seeing Kathryn in the background... notiving the little things.. For example: In the church/hostage game (the one where Kate tried to earn her second exemption)... she started the dissention, and then shut up and let the whole group dynamic crumble. Meanwhile she sat in the background with those big innocent doe eyes. Little things like that are what I notice. Behaviors, not necessarily actions. I was flipping back and forth between the Mole and Amer Idol tonight, so I haven't seen the episode yet (will see it probably tomorrow), but what I did see was the execution.. and frankly.. Bribs didn't look that worried about getting executed and when Katie's screen came up red, he had this odd look in his eyes... it smacked of guilt. But again.. I was channell flipping, so I will have to go back and rewatch it... |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 05:41 am     Faery. wow. That is a good catch. If that was a slip by Darwin it was way too big though. It must be ground into their brains not divulge anything. It could be that Bribbs did such a good job at putting on a moleface that it drew that remark. Could it be that the final two players vote Bribbs as the mole and in fact he is not? Is there more than one question in the final round? I think so. So the winner could win by having one more question answered correctly but still belive Bribbs is the mole but both finalists covered their behinds but splitting their answers. I see this clue as pointing to Darwin as the mole or at least in the final 2. |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 06:27 am     Fruitbat... the original guestbook entry made by Darwin was made after the show was ORIGINALLY cancelled! I remember looking at the date (no I don't remember the actual date) and noting that it was after the cancellation, after the Jan "re-air" expectation passed, but before they annouced the summer return; so, he might have thought he was "safe". Bribbs, after the show started to re-air, must have gone back and deleted it - well.. not deleted, but made it private. What I figure is this... either: A) Bribbs is the mole and he, Darwin and poss Heather make up the unholy trinity of Mole 2 OR B) Bribbs is not the Mole, but makes Darwin THINK he is in the last few episodes and wins Not really sure which yet, but I don't think Darwin is the Mole. But I DO Think he makes it to the final 3. (3 = 2 players + the Mole) |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 07:01 am     Interesting. From this info I think that definately Darwin and Bribbs are in the final 3. I agree. It could go either way. Bribbs is the mole or Darwin thought he was. Darwin told his mother that he wanted to work on Mole III. That looks like he may want to follow Kathryn's foot steps. (A friend of mine in NY is Darwins close friend. They grew up together and remain close.) This info may be key. Now the winner or runnerup could also ask to work on production. Either way I expect to see him in the final episode. |
Faerygdds | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 07:28 am     Me too! Cool! You should ask your friend, "According to Darwin, what kind of 'face' do you have?" lol |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 07:49 am     I will call him tonight and ask about Darwin using that expression. Good idea! |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 08:11 am     Darwin is my favorite. I want him to win, which means he probably IS the Mole. Not good at this game! |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 08:24 am     He is my favorite too. Either would be fine. He wins, he gets the pot....the mole, he has been paid for the job and it could open doors. |
