2-parter. Tonight's show ends with the quiz I think, and the reveal is next week.

Dumb question, but is tonight 2-parter? Because I will be livid if it is. I know it's the last time we'll ever see this show but it doesn't mean I wanna stretch the finale.

And why does everyone hate Craig? I think he's more entertaining than Mark. (And I'm changing my mole guess to Nicole after this episode)

Did anyone else see on the clock at the very beginning? It said Paul, and I switched to him this episode, lot of good that did.

Perfect ending has Nicole as the mole Mark as the winner and Craig as the loser! Craig must lose or this season takes a serious blow for me.

This is a fantastic final three if only for speculating about the mole, all of which have given us a strong reason NOT to suspect them due to editing:

1. Mark - edited to seem too competitive so we assume he is not the mole.
2. Nicole - edited way too OTT so we assume she is not the mole.
3. Craig - too strongly edited to seem like the mole, and therefore we assume he is not the mole.

Reverse psychology for the Win!

And I can't think of a better forum to enter my 1000th post than this one :)

Just watched the episode. It was a good episode except for the bad editing. They talked way too much to Paul so I knew he was going. I wish reality shows would stop doing that. They make it way too obvious.

My intial pick for the mole was Mark and I'm shocked that he's still there. I do still think he's the mole but I'd actually prefer him not to be. I like him and i'd like to see him win all the money. So my perfect ending would be Craig-Mole, Nicole-Loser, and Mark-Winner. But since I know Mark is the mole, I just pray that Craig wins. I know I lot of you here like Nicole but I can't stand her. It would totally ruin it if she won. It would also ruin it if she is the mole. The only good ending has her losing.

i think you guys are looking way into it, im sure in the split second after they each said it jon didnt think oh, if i say one is lying, that means nicole isnt the mole using logic i havent used since 7th grade. he probably meant that there's one mole, and the mole lies, so one person is lying.

Re: The Mole - Episode 8 - Spoiler Free/Episode Discussion Thread

feeds@kickapps.com (Screerider) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:01:39 PST

Yup. Three possibilities:

MARK IS THE MOLE: Mark lie, Nicole truth, Craig truth
NICOLE IS THE MOLE: Mark truth, Nicole lie, Craig lie
CRAIG IS THE MOLE: Mark truth, Nicole truth, Craig lie

The trick is how does Player Craig know Mark is the Mole, if he's not the Mole. And if he didn't know (just guessing), didn't Jon just tell him? And, of course, on the flipside, Jon told Player Mark that Craig is the Mole.

So, LOGICALLY, either Craig was Right and guessed Mark, where Nicole and Pawlie were wrong, in which case Nicole would be WRONG on the next quiz and Craig would WIN. Or Pawlie and Nicole were RIGHT and it would come down to whether Mark would vote the RIGHT way (for Craig) in the final quiz.

or nicole is the mole, and paul went because he thought it was craig, and craig stayed because he thought it was nicole. if thats the case then itll be interesting because mark and craig both think deep down that nicole is the mole.

At the end when they gave their answers to the question "are you the mole" and Jon said one of these players is lying didn't that eliminate Nicole as the mole. If she is the mole she would have lied but so would Craig because he said Mark is the mole. As far as the other two it could be either of them .

Bingo!!!!

Absolutely....I thought this too. Jon said 'one of you is lying'.

Be default, Nicole is not the mole. It's either Craig or Mark.

Craig's reaction was very similar to his reaction to the bungee mission, so I don't think that's much of a tell.

One thing that makes me think Craig is the mole was this:

When it was revealed that Paul/Craig would cross the bridge, Paul (who isn't the mole) freaked out. When it was revealed to Craig he didn't have a big reaction it was just like "This sucks...".

Even though I dislike Paul, I expected him to make the finals. He didn't, and that made me very happy. :) Dr. Nicole for the win!

Next week's finale looks really good, especially with the task with these magical words. "Players, you're going to have to defuse this bomb."

If Craig was the mole, he was told which room the exemption was in and he would try to get that room. And I think that if he didn't, then he had to solve the puzzle first to get the exemption. Does that make sense? Obviously he was going to be an easy target for whoever was shooting.

Also, if it is him, this puts another spin on him bringing the mole sign in the first episode challenge. Paul said he knew from day 1 and that could have been his clue.

Yeah, Paul said Craig was going first because he knew he would be safe. But since he went first, they also wouldn't make him safe since that would mean Nicole would know she was eliminated before her screen comes up since he knew Nicole thought Craig was the mole. So his screen had to come up red.

BOOOOO @ tonights episode results

A Paul/Nicole final three showdown would have been so epic, with one being the mole, and the other being the winner!!

Now we get the retarded, fat guy!

Re: The Mole - Episode 8 - Spoiler Free/Episode Discussion Thread

feeds@kickapps.com (colleenlover) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:42:53 PST

Yeah, I think Paul was saying to them all not for Craig to go first -but Craig WILL be CALLED first since he will be safe and they need to build up drama for the TV show during the execution -IF CRAIG IS THE MOLE. With Mark being safe, and the three knowing Craig is the Mole, it was a 50/50 coin flip as to whether Nicole or Paul would leave.

I've been wondering what's been up with certain individuals not getting called to get their quiz and I think some of the players have noticed this too which is why Paul said "Craig you're first" when Jon was about to enter in the names.

I think the dynamic here is a little different. They assume that there will be a few players called who get green result before the inevitable red result.... to build drama. Even down to 4 people, the players would be thinking the first player or possibly the first 2 players called will get green. So when Craig said that, he was in effect saying "Craig, you were successful" by virtue of the assumption that the first player called will survive.

Awesome episode!! This season has been so good and it's surprising--I felt like a regular Mole game would've lost some of its magic after two back-to-back Celebrity Mole seasons but speaking for myself I thought this season has really delivered. Even though we never got to see a finale showdown culmination of the Nicole/Paul feud, their whole rivaly has been so interesting to watch. I really liked how it ended and I've come to really like Paul because of it. It was worth it to note how they interacted the whole episode: Both of them acknowledging that they've played a similar game--both being extremely extroverted and upfront about the game they were playing; Both using the other as a way to help out their own strategy. After the elimination, it was good to see Paul shake everyone's hand, including Nicole and Nicole stating that she thought her beating Paul would've been a sweeter victory but she was upset to see him go because he motivated her to want to...
