Well...Corbin had a pretty good idea it was Michael Boatman. I loved that whole S with the one line through it theory...and now Corbin is gone ...so maybe it isn't Michael. But Erik seemed to think it was Michael too.....but maybe it's Erik! As you can tell I have absolutely NO idea who the Mole is.

i shouldnt be here, i should be in bed, i wasnt gonna even watch,there's just more tv than a person can bear on wed. nites and who can keep going with it after 10pm, i dont feel good , i didnt do a report thats due tommorrow, but i HADDA come here!

I loved the show tonite..I think its one of the best hours on tv this year...

its hugely disapointing to only see 6 posts here, and only 3 are comments from during or after the show...

people who watch mole, BB, survivor, etc should all be here giving this a chance..
I was skeptical too, but these guys are actually are more civil, funny, motivated, and entertaining than most of the non-celebs on the other show.. Its quite surprising really. And the games are as good as the regular Mole games, and even Rashad is warming up to the role..

and it kept me fooled more than any other mole game. Hell, i won the last Mole game we had, and was cocky about my mole sniffing abilities and i was SHOCKED that Corbin was out and wasnt the mole! He was great, you either liked him or liked not liking him..
and i didnt want to see any of them executed tonite... not even kathy who i could not stand before this show began, and i have never enjoyed the personality of a super model before, ever!

so all you tvchers, give this show a chance, and mods should add it to the "hot topics" so it will become hot ..NOW who is the mole??? Frederique?

(ok, now that i got on the soapbox, watch next week suck really badly and i will have to crawl back in my hole...)

Well, since it's only six episodes instead of the usual nine or so, the show just seems a little rushed to me. The games are a little below some of the other ones they have done, but still fun....Ahmad is doing his best, but he's no Anderson. Anderson owned the format. I won't be suprised if Frederique is the mole.....Michael I think is going to win.

I wouldn't say all the cool kids are gone, it is more like the seriously disturbed kids are gone. I really did not like Corbin's insane boat building.

i will still go with michael boatman and the anagram:
'ABC mole man at Hi' his name comes up with!
yeah, like his mom named him michael however many years ago because she knew he would play a mole on tv one day~! ;>)

of course, the show isn't on here for another 45 minutes or so....

I'm enjoying the show immensely; I guess I haven't been posting much because this is my first foray into the Mole field and I'm still trying to get a feel for what I should be trying to find. I called Eric to be the Mole during the first episode and I'm still leaning either toward him or Frederique. I think passing up the exemption was a good double bluff. It really kept them guessing. If it is not Eric, I'm thinking Frederique.

Kathy cracks me up. I know a lot of people think she is over the top, but I have enjoyed her more on this show than in anything else I've seen her in. Her cellulite comment on the beach made me roar. It was refreshing to see her be so gloriously unselfconscious, even if it was for a laugh, particularly since the only other woman left is a supermodel!

I like it too. I like the smaller cast and shorter format, and I think the host is doing a fine job...he is improving as it goes along.
The thing that I end up thinking tho, at the end of every show is...there is really no point in speculating because these people are professional actors...they earn their living making us believe something that isn't true..so any of them could be the Mole.

I think having a wide range of people playing is more interesting for that reason.

Still like it, still watching tho...but it really ain't the Mole.

Oh and it is on too late... by the time it airs I am too tired to come and discuss it.

I like this show a lot, but like Car it's on a little late for me. I have to tape it for fear of falling asleep during the show and missing something.

I watched both seasons of the mole as well as this one, and I still don't see what all the Anderson hoopla is all about. To me one is as good as the other. Ahmad is doing a good job and he is making the show just as enjoyable to watch as Anderson, IMHO.

Anyway, I still don't like Kathy. I was leaning toward Frederique as being the mole, but now I think it is Boatman.

I love this show! I was not a regular mole watcher. But this show is hilarious! On late for me too -- I fell asleep right after they ate dinner -- missed the whole excution part, darn it.....

This is truely one of the funniest things on tv!! I am total convinced it's Kathy - no doubt at all!!!

I'm voting Kathy as well! Although the logic about the $ made a lot of sense to indicate Boatman. Corbin could have had the right mole and missed other questions like shoes, shirt color, etc!

With the hot pepper thing....I think this is a huge indication of rich/spoiled people. How many people on a regular edition of the show would turn down $25,000 because they had to take a timy bite out of a pepper. I'd take it! Then to try it afterwards! If you are going to try the thing, do it while the cash is on the table!!!

I am enjoying it though.

I was so mad last night! I taped "Bachelorette" and "The Mole" and watched American Idol and 1900 House. I was all comfortable in bed watching my taped episodes when the tape ran out during The Mole. From the posts I see that Corbin got executed but have other questions:

1) Just as Boatman was deciding whether or not to take a bite of #5 pepper, the tape ended. Did he bite?

2) What about the remaining players. Who didn't bite? Did anyone take the milk?

3) Did anything else good happen before the quiz?

4) Which setting on the VCR lasts longest when you tape two two-hour shows? SP, LP, or whatever the other one is (SLP?) I am no good with machinery!

Kaili

Yes he bit a tiny bite- Cathy and Frederique were the only ones who never bit (they got their questions right and Corbin took their bites for them).

Corbin got one half full glass of milk after eating everyone else's but some didn't want to give him that because he was taking extra bites and being a big tough guy. Then when he got the glass he requested only a little bit (not a full glass).

SLP is the best setting :) Not sure if it beats LP cause I only have 2 choices and I don't even remember what my other choice it- I always use SLP

My way of remembering the VCR settings and I know it's wrong but it's how I think of it-

SLP is super long play
LP is long play
SP is slow play

I don't know what they stand for.

Oh! On my tape case! I have an 8 hour tape-
SP= 2 hrs 40 minutes on the tape
LP= 5 hrs 20 minutes
EP/SLP= 8 hours

I love the Mole more than some of the other shows. After tonite’s show I am positive Boatman is the mole. I think they edited Corbin to make it look like he thought Boatman was the mole and then when he gets executed we all are left thinking, Corbin thought Boatman was the Mole and now Corbin is gone so Boatman can’t be the mole.
I think Kathy wins.
MODS..can you change title of thread to 1/22??

Mole repeats on Mondays on ABC Family - just an FYI.

Ryn

Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:15 am EditMoveDeleteIP
usually this is how it works....

SP = 2 hours per "t-120" tape (standard '6-hour' tape).

LP = 4 hours - not very common on vcrs anymore

SLP = 6 hours (sometimes called "EP")

I have 3 vcrs..... none have the LP option, and one uses "EP" instead of "SLP" - (EP=extended play). Same thing, just different name.

I love this show. I don't mind it being on later...I think it allows the cast to be more "adult" and inject more "adult" humor that if they were in an earlier time slot.

I don't have a clue who the Mole is now, since Corbin get the ax.
