Last night when all were gathered by the board listening to instructions, the camera angle had Dorothy's arm to the right of the screen. It showed a singular mole. I am making a mental note.

So far, Heather, Dorothy and Myra is where I am choosing to place my focus.

I have totally ruled out Bill and Al. Both loose cannons and not a wise choice in the interview process.

Darwin? maybe but he is a better choice to win.

My gut says the mole is a woman again.

I think the secret clues are when they have dinner, cuz they always make a point of showing them at dinner and I don't remember it being that big of a deal last year

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but in the second to last episode, when Dorothy answered that algebra question correctly, Bill said "Holey Moley".

There are so many theories around and I was getting confused as to who has actually cost the group money and who is just suspicious. I decided to take a look at who has won and lost money for the group today. I made up a chart for each game and recorded whether each player won money, lost money or neither won or lost money because they did not play or were a team leader that did not directly win or loose money. I am not counting executed players. The results were:

Player won lost
Al 4 1
Bill 3 2
Bribs 4 2
Darwin 2 5
Dorothy 3 5
Elavia 3 5
Heather 3 2
Katie 3 5
Myra 5 0

I noticed Al, Myra and Bribs have won most of the time.

Darwin, Dorothy, Elavia and Katie have lost more often than won.

Bill and Heather have won some and lost some.

Only one player has lost money by intentionally breaking the rules while not playing a game and that was Patrick who was executed.

Using only this data I would lean toward Bill or Heather as the mole because they have not won or lost too many to be call attention to themselves. However there is a strong case for Darwin being the mole and being very successful at loosing money. What I want to do next is go back over each game and get statistics on how many times players did something that looks like they are trying to loose or make someone else loose. Maybe we will see a clue or pattern in this.

Great idea Corriecat! I think you are on to something!

Yes, excellent idea. Thanks Corriecat.

I am not ruling out Myra yet though. Kathryn did a great job at winning in the beginning. That would be a good strategy to keep suspicion at bay.

I wish I had been able to work on who has tried to cause the team to loose money but I was so busy making travel arrangements all day at work that I started to feel like I was on the Amazing Race.

Has anybody heard about the "blue" theory that the blue M on the licence plate of one of the vehicles looked fake and is somehow a clue to the mole?

Does anyone know where to find the players last names. I looked on the ABC site but couldn't find anything. I am curious if anyone has the last name Green or Greene. I say this because there seems to be alot of green being shown, specifically around Katie. Her cast is green, the letters in the water game last week were green, she left off the g, the letters in the clue the next morning were green. Also in the casino game in one of the first episodes, she was the only one to use green chips. Plus the thumbprint is green if you get to stay, so I'm thinking the color green might be a clue.n Remember last year one of the clues was something about a player having to pay the price and Katherine's last name is Price.

My housemate just noticed a mistake in my figures above. Elavia should be lost 5 won 1. She's as suspicious as Darwin.

I noticed something in tonight's episode that I thought was interesting. When Katie, Myra, and Bill were gathering ingredients for the pizzas, they came to a house where a lady was spritzing plants outside her door. They are standing there asking the lady for an ingredient and there is a blue traffic sign with a white arrow on it, no words, near the door to the house. The arrow seems to be pointing at Katie. I am not sure how this could be staged by the production crew, so it is probably just a coincidence, but it sure jumped out to me as a possible clue.

Something in tonight's show that stood out for me was the shirt color Al was wearing during the bike ride.

Anderson commented on how they (Italy) take biking very seriously and you have to look the part. Then they changed clothes.

Al comes out wearing a solid yellow shirt. In bike races, i.e. the Tour de France, the leader always wears solid yellow.

Maybe I am looking too deeply for clues.

Could this mean something? When they assembled for the execution, the camera scanned the row of players' bags. The names on the black bags were in white (or light) letters--except for one, which had dark letters on a small patch of white. That bag belonged to Bribs!

Bribs' bag originally said "Michael" (his real name) and he put masking tape over the name with Bribs written on it. Likely means nothing.... however, this is two weeks in a row that they've shown his bag with the changed name.

also, when anderson was explaining about the fines, there was a blue shape on the building to his left (our right). it had faint squiggly flowery lines painted on it. if you looked at the design hard enough, it looked like a fancy script 's-k-i'. bribs is a ski instructor...although where they ski in texas, i am not sure! they showed the LAMOLE wine label again when i went back to my t.v. it was turned so you could read it when at the table. i am trying to remember who was pouring, then? either al or darwin...
about the taped name on brib's bag, my kids said it has been like that before--his name was spelled wrong or something? not sure, but that's what they say! i loved the pizza thing. that is what i would have wanted to do. lucky for them to find roberto.

His name was taped onto his bag because they originally printed his bag in his real or first name, Michael or something. Bribs is a nickname so he or they must have taped the new name on it so everyone would know whose it was.

well, ann, looks like we crossed out there! that explains the bribs bag.

I'm not into clues, but did notice the words on the road in the bike race

You
Beat
Will
Mole
The

So that you ride over The, then Mole, then Will, then Beat, then You.. actually they were in white chalk or paint and all caps.

and tonight before the quiz/execution when they zoomed in on the statue, then they zoomed in on a black cat.. is that something new?

Is there supposed to be a hidden clue in every episode? Or just clues hidden throughout the whole series?

i noticed a shirt color too, ;in the church but forgot if it was bribs or al, but wasnt one of them wearing the exact same color as andersons?
Also, i noticed a long camera shot on a journal at the table. whose was it? i couldnt tell the number.
I just hope that Roberto got a tape of the show to show the town!
and what was with the black cat??

What color was the little umbrella in Anderson's drink?? (closeup as he was riding along next to a biker, I think)

Something that I was thinking about last night was when they were telling stories about getting in trouble/embarassing moments - all of them told a story but, because of time constraints, we only heard three or four of them. (Al's was pretty funny telling his btw). At then end when they are doing their questionaires on who the Mole is, one of the questions was about those stories.

Does this mean anything? All told stories, but we only saw 3 or 4 of them. Is it possible that one of the stories we saw was told by the Mole? Realistically, the show's producers are expecting us to play. They have the questionaires online for us to download.

If Katy is the mole and told a story, how would be be able to know which story she told?

Argh! I need to buy a 2nd VCR. I taped American Idol last night and watched The Mole (a prudent choice because AI is so very fast-forwardable.)

I immediately thought "The Mole Will Beat You" meant that the mole would arrive at the challenge destination first, so we have Katie or Bill left as the mole if that's correct.

The "La Mole" wine may not really mean anything, but in their bios only Bill and Elavia mention wine as one of their favorite beverages.

Why I need a 2nd VCR: I believe the journal on the table was #13, but am not 100% sure. Again from the bios, Bill is the only person to have answered that 13 is his lucky number.

Another thought about the wine: is "la" the feminine form of "the", sorta like la and le or el and la?

Just for fun, I just ran 'La Mole' and 'Mole' through an online Italian/Engish translator and there is no such word.

*heh* This is starting to remind me of over-analyzing possible clues during "Murder in Small Town X".
