On next weeks episode it looks like someone is offered 50,000.00 to leave the game.

Would you do it?

I might at that point. I know it's not a lot of money, but it's better than nothing, and who knows how much the winner will actually get in the end? Plus if I was the person no one "likes" it would probably motivate me even more..LOL

i would take it in a heartbeat! not bad for 3 or 4 weeks of work and a trip to europe to boot. oh, that's a clue! italy is shaped like a boot. ooops, taking this mole game too far ;>)

I would take it if I was iffy on the Mole's identity. It's pretty good money, and I wouldn't like my odds otherwise.

But if I had a single good guess going, and if I hadn't been executed but *had* been answering all the quiz questions based on my guess, then I'd probably stay. I mean, didn't Jim and Stephen say last time that they felt pretty confident after a few executions? They were answering the questions only with the assumption that Kathryn was the Mole, so they knew they were probably right.

I think it is funny.. shades of Big Brother..

I would only take it if I had been suffering physically or mentally, otherwise I'd want to continue to enjoy more of Europe.

My guess is that the 50K they offer is also to be deducted from the current pot.

That will, of course, complicate the person's decision-making process.

i thought that jim and stephen each thought the other was the mole and both were surprised it was kathryn. (?)
50k is pretty good money and they have had over 3 weeks in europe...unless i was really pretty sure on who the mole was, i would take the money. do they offer it to one person or to each of them, and the first one who agrees gets it?

he*l yeah i would take it, 'cause i don't have a clue, but i would have been executed in the first go round.

Yep, I'd take it too. And I really don't think the $$ coming out of the pot would complicate my decision.

I would take it in a heartbeat....if they want to stay in Europe for a few more weeks, they would have the money to do that also.

I would probably take it. But I don't expect any of the players to take it. You would have to be pretty competitive to not only want to be on the show but to actually get picked. This far into the game I would think everyone would be competitive enough to want to try and finish.

I'd take the money. I haven't got a clue who the Mole is.

I think I would stick it out. This is one reality game show that I wouldn't mind being on.

They get to travel around to beautiful locations in Europe, but not at breakneck speed like on TAR.
The accomodations look very nice, good food, they get to schoomz with Anderson, the challanges aren't too terrible (except for bungee jumping, yikes!)
Also, this show is not intrusive to the players private life, like BB or even Survivor.

Plus, they all must get a certain amount of money for just doing this, whether they win or not. I would probably get homesick at some point, but I might get lucky and get to stay until the end.

I could use fifty thousand just as much as the next person, but I would take the chance and stay.

webkitty, are you the webmaster of the mediawhore mole game?! i notice you spell 'challanges' the way she or he does! if you aren't, ignore my detective work...if you are, please give all of us big points even though some of us (me!) didn't really get anything right last night! lol
i like the amazing race game, but you are so right about not being able to enjoy wherever they are...then again, with surviiivor, i would have gotten tired of the one place in africa pretty quickly. they didn't move enough!

If I'm in it as this point, I stay in.

I would take the money. Even if you think you know who the mole is, it is still alot of luck on your side to win.

Tabbyking, I barely know how to work my webtv much less be a webmaster of anything!

I don't have spellcheck when I'm here at TVCH, (only in email) so you might see a spelling error from time to time, especially if I'm in a hurry.

is there somewhere on this thread where it is predicted or discussed if we think anyone in the game takes the money and runs?
we shoulda had predictions for that to earn extra stars...

We kind of talked about that, Donut, in the execution thread. I'm a lazy Lobster and didn't want to keep track of all that.
