Ali's execution interview:
From the ABC site-

Just after Ali was executed on the second episode of Mole 2: The Next Betrayal, ABC.com had an opportunity to sit down with her and discuss the game. Here is the transcript from that exclusive interview.

How relieved were you to get your bags back after the Burn Bags game in episode one?

At first I never thought they'd burn our bags. But then after they sent the German assistant out to buy us underwear, I started to get kind of upset. I started to think, "Oh my God, I have to buy a whole new wardrobe before I go home." So I was pretty relieved when we got our bags back.

What were other people's responses to thinking their stuff was burned? Was there more to what we saw?

I don't think there was more to what they showed, actually. Some people were like, "No way, they didn't burn our bags." But then when we got our bags back, everyone was so happy.

Confession time. What happened with the bar?

We put our costumes on, and we actually already knew where the train station was. The little boys on the bike had told us "straight up the road, it's 10 minutes." We stopped at the bar to use the bathroom, and honestly, we realized we had, like, two hours to kill, so we just hung out there. We hadn't been out in Switzerland for a few days, and it was nice to just be out. We were thinking, "Where is everyone else?" We were wondering if anyone else was going to go there. No one said, "Go straight to the train station." We didn't just go to the bar. We walked around town, we went to this little park, we just cruised around because we hadn't seen that much of Switzerland.

What was your strategy in playing the game? How much did we get to see, and what did you not get to implement?

I just had a couple of different rules. One, I wanted to follow my gut. Two, that I didn't want to get bogged down into thinking that one person was the mole. I didn't stick to my gut on the last quiz.

What was the hardest part of the game?

The hardest part was definitely the red screen.

How shocked were you when you saw that red screen come up?

The split-second after Anderson typed in my name and hit enter, I knew it was going to come up red. I did the quiz pretty quick. I don't think anyone at that point knew who the mole was, and I think it was still pretty much a crap-shoot at that point. But I took the quiz pretty quick, so I didn't expect to be executed.

How did you prepare for the game?

I actually only saw the last few episodes of The Mole last season, so I wanted to find out as much information as I could about the show. So I read everything on the Internet about the show, all of the summaries, all of the episodes, and I tried to get my hands on the tapes, but I couldn't. I told myself I just wanted to make it past the first three rounds, knowing that the first three rounds are pretty much going to be a game of luck. I just wanted to be very observant, and do the best I could.

Did you get a chance to deliberately corrupt any of the games, or throw people off into thinking you were the mole?

I didn't get a chance to do so deliberately. I think after the first round, that after getting that first question wrong and losing forty thousand that people were very suspicious. Some people were very open with each other, and I didn't want to give away too much information. If someone asked me a question, then of course I answered, but I didn't want to give the players too much information.

What was your best personal moment, or most memorable moment?

Just one moment? I definitely liked jumping off of the bridge, which was something crazy. And nothing in particular, just times when all of us traveled as a group, like when we all hiked up to the mountain hut, or the next day when we had a hike and a picnic. It was cool to be there with thirteen other players that I never met before and I have a huge common bond with. It's a beautiful place.
Did you notice the blueberry at all? Did anyone?

I did not notice the blueberry. And I actually — when Katie came back after she left the room when she shouldn't have, and the other two girls got an exemption, when she came back and started telling the story, Rob and I just somewhat disbelieved that she didn't know anything about it. I was trying to catch her in a lie, and said mine didn't have a blueberry either.

What item did you wish you had with you that you didn't?

My flip-flops. I could have brought them, I just forgot to put them in my bag. I like to go out in my flip-flops.

What would you like the audience to know that they probably don't already?

They may think it's easier for the players to figure out who the mole is, but it's just as hard when you're actually there, maybe even harder, because you get to actually talk to the people.

How played do you feel?

I don't feel very played, because I feel it was such a game of luck at that point. And I feel that I probably got out by the skin of my teeth. I took the quiz pretty fast, and I think I had the same suspicions as everyone else, so either I was a few seconds longer than everyone else, or I got one more question wrong than someone else. So I think that at that point, it could have been anybody. I started to think, "Would I have been better off just not even reading the question? Just punching in answers and completing it in like fifteen seconds?" But I don't feel played. I think the mole is doing a good job.

Who do you think is going to win?

I'm not really rooting for any one player in particular. I think that Darwin has a really good chance of winning, and I think that Al and Bribs have a good chance, but they could be the mole as well.
