Episode 6 (Finale) - 2/12....
Rissa | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:26 am     Well, I had Freddie the mole pegged but messed up on the winner. Really messed up because I gave Erik a huge amount of credit for knowing who the mole was weeks ago. Turns out he really is a clueless pretty boy. RFLOL Thought it was a hoot how Corbin got so intense looking for boats and floating candles and how Baldwin keeps confirming his IQ. I wonder if Kathy believes by now that she has won, she didn't seem to buy it for most of the episode. Was very kewl that Kathy and Corbin knew the game and weren't just fumbling through it. |
Neko | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 06:56 am     It's amazing to find out just how close both Kathy and Erik came to being executed that whole show. LOL And I never thought Kathy had done that much in the games and the notes and everything.. I mean, I actually just thought she was there. And Hermione!! You missed the best part of the show!!! |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:11 am     Ryn I think the reason why Ahmad said Fred was the "best" mole is that, until the very last quiz, on the question "Who is the Mole?" in all the quizzes, Fred wasn't answered one time. IIRC, In Mole 1 the final 2 (who were working together) had the Mole figured out about halfway thru, and tried to work it so one or the other would be suspected (they were always in different groups in games with them)...the winner spooked his opponent by saying he would speed thru the last quiz (remember, the fastest time wins in a tie), and probably won because the other person went too quickly.... Mole 2 (again the final 2 were working together) the final 2 came together after one of the players was bought out of the game (and was the main suspect of most of the players....the eventual winner would have been executed that night if the buyout offer wasn't taken)..and they compared notes and pretty much figured out the Mole from that point on, and it was just a matter of who got more right on the last quiz (and it was a difference of one question) Fred sabatoged very sneakily, and no one suspected her until the very end...and again, it was a team of 2 who were the final 2....so it proves that alliances can work in this game, if the info is right, as the more eyes observing things, the more likely you are to notice sabatoge, or throw people off with sabatoge of your own (if of course you don't try to partner with The Mole).... That's why Fred was considered successful....She was never suspected. |
Neko | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:19 am     LOL At least, everytime I hear "Tiny Bubbles", I'll always imagine Michael and Erik in the grass skirts and coconut bras. *Giggles* I did much better in this game guessing what people would do, maybe it's because I knew them better since they're celebrities and if they had been just the usual people, like the regualr mole, I wouldn't have had any clue.. |
Car54 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 07:34 am     I missed the very end of the finale...do we know if they are going to do this again? |
Marameko | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:05 am     I still want Anderson back..........even though I have always thought Ahmad was a babe. |
Car54 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:38 am     I don't think Anderson is coming back. Ahmad is ok for the celeb version...I liked him smoking his big cigar watching the tough challenges, but I am not sure he has the air of mystery the real non-celeb version really needs. We need a "Bond, James Bond" kinda host for that. |
Realfan | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:55 am     Great Mole. Best ever. Since I can never figure out who the mole is, since everyone acts moley, I enjoyed the comedians goofing off. They're all much more natural in front of the camera than regular folk. Also liked that it was a shorter show with fewer players. Corbin's journal is going for the least amount of money. Odd! He took notes of everything. I would think his would be really interesting. I think the planted clues are silly and too vague, except for the one at the beginning of the show with Frederique in the helicopter. You could read stuff into anything and everything, so why bother? (Witness Corbin!). The Arliss $$ idea he had was a better clue than most of the FVDW ones. |
Ruditoo | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 12:18 pm     Just a note on Anderson. I saw him hosting CNN's 'Live In' out of Houston a few days ago(I hope I remember that right). I'd be if he would step down from there (voluntarily) to do a game show. |
Kitt | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:24 pm     Rudi, apparently he asked CNN if they would allow him to do the next Mole, but they declined . He really wanted to. Loved last night's show! Corben was even more crazy than we imagined, I really didn't like him during the episodes but he was sweet about it all last night. I would have liked to have heard more from Eric and Boatman, they both seemed like thoughtful people and it would have been interesting to see what they thought after the reveal. I don't think Freddie was a very good mole at all, several of us here spotted her almost from episode 1, and she didn't seem to lose them much money at all, that $80K calculation seemed a bit generous! It was good to see her sabotage that raft though, that was very funny . As none of the contestants suspected her I guess that means she was at least stealthy about it, even if not that effective. |
Happymom | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:34 pm     Don't forget, the pot was supposed to be $60,000 less because Freddie was to be the one on the beach to take the exemption, keeping the $60K out. But, Corbin kept taking control and put Eric in that job. There was really nothing Freddie could do about that except untie the ropes on the raft. I loved this final episode! (Except for Stephen Baldwin, he sure is starved for attention. Very annoying. Yes, Deedee, I noticed his eyes, very, very strange.) Poor Corbin drove himself nuts in this game! Very funny. I, along with Boatman, kept thinking "it makes him/her seem more like the mole, and less like the mole" about everyone all through every show. |
Jimmer | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:50 pm     I really enjoyed this series. Considering I normally dislike "celebrity" versions of most shows, I'm amazed at how good this one was. Very entertaining. The contestants had more than a few laughs but they also really tried to play the game and that makes all the difference. |
Ryn | Monday, February 17, 2003 - 03:04 pm     Looks like they are replaying several Episodes on ABC family today. |
Bastable | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 08:17 pm     Man, even when it's D-Level Celebrity Mole, it's still pretty great. Long live "The Mole"! |
