The Moley Mole Returns For Week Six



Fantastic... it's been two weeks and I have missed The Mole since it took last week off. We are treated to an hour long special reminding us of what has happened in the past and some unseen footage.

The highlight? More BOOBY O and his "Gaydar" advantage.

So we are relatively live in a brand new episode (Pssst... mad props to Tangentwoman for playing MLB 2K8 while we killed commercial time -- God Bless DVR.)

Here's my quick update... I like Paul because I think he is playing a fun tough game, Clay is an absolute pretentious asshole, Alex is... fine enough, Nicole is the epitome of drama, Mark is frigging insane, and Craig is still a dope.

Oh yeah... we only have one woman left and boy is she proud of herself...

The final six arrive in Mendoza, Argentina. I like this show, but dammit... why does John Kelly have to try so hard? Regardless, the pot is up to $177,000.

For the first challenge, they pick three runners and three thinkers. They have to find seven bottles of wine in a vineyard. The thinkers have to answer questions to get coordinates and if the answers are wrong, the coordinates are wrong. The game is over when Mark (on a treadmill) stops running and as each bottle is found, the treadmill goes faster. Clay and Alex are in the field taking the coordinates looking for the bottles and Paul communicates the coordinates that Craig and Nicole are earning to Clay and Alex. (Mark is allowed to help with the questions and appears to be the smartest.)

Three bottles are found and Paul and Nicole fight... It looks like Nicole is trying to sabotage by doing some small stuff.

This is really a great challenge... (Mission) I think... as it goes to commercial.

More stuff happens and they find the fourth, fifth, and sixth bottle. The drama builds as they find the seventh bottle, but they must get back before Mark (running on a maxed out treadmill) quits... Drama... Drama... Drama... they did it...

The total pot is up to $247,000 -- the most earned in any challenge so far.

Now we get lots of discussions and Mole guessing... that are both funny and grating. My favorite is that Mark is lying on a soccer ball pillow -- he's a teacher and soccer coach. There is also a lot of attention paid to the fact that Alex drinks a lot. Fascinating.

The next mission involves a huge gorge and is called "Swing Out" and can earn $60,000. They will be asked to bungee jump from a plank. As they fall, they drop a bag of tea into a bullseye where varying amounts of money $2000 to $10,000 can be earned depending on how close they hit it.

Mark is up first and is asked if he is up for an exemption. Whomever guesses the closest to what the group will earn gets it. Mark's guess is $10,000 and he earns $0.00.
Paul is up second and he guesses (UNREVEALED!) and he earns $0.00.
Clay is up third and he guesses (UNREVEALED!) and he earns $0.00.
Craig is up fourth and he guesses (UNREVEALED!) and he earns $.... COMMERCIAL! as it cuts to our other players all upset and saying... "Oh My God!" $0.00
Alex is up fifth and he guesses (UNREVEALED!) and he earns $4,000.
Nicole is up sixth and she guesses (UNREVEALED!) and she earns $0.00
Total amount earned? $4,000 (Total is $251,000). Who was the closest?

Mark guessed $10,000. Paul guessed $12,000. Clay guessed $14,000. Craig guessed $20,000. Alex guessed $15,000. Nicole guessed $28,000. So no one won the exemption. Suckers

Time to review everyone's behavior... and take the quiz. (P.S. Alex is drinking like crazy... Unless they bring this up some more later... it seemed like some really horrible editting...)

Time for the execution... let's get to the eliminations... (Can I have at least one night where I don't lose someone?)

Alex is up first... and eliminated. Nope... I lost someone.
