I can't believe we have to wait an entire week. I hate these episodes because even though the tasks are usually the most epic, there really is no concrete
development on who the mole is, since no one is eliminated.
As for next week, I HOPE they copy the Mole 2 reveal. The mole 1 had a pretty stupid reveal, but for 2, it was perfect. It wasn't even the concept (one of three doors opens), but they way they did it. The music, the cinematography, everything, was very well done for revealing the winner. They positioned those three doors to the side of the eliminated contestants, with the winner's door on the far end, so even when it opened, you couldn't see them. And the way Dorothy just "popped" from behind the door was very fitting, since it happened fast. The celebrity editions changed the format, and it did lose something, since the surprise had to come from the camera changing positions from the audience to the entrance of the door (instead of letting the camera stay on the door and having the winner present themself), since otherwise it would have been too gradual and slow to be a "surprise" reveal. Sounds kinda picky and stupid, but I just want Nicole to win, or at least be the mole, at this point. But does anyone actually see her winning with her edit? Keep in mind that they usually edit these shows so that more casual viewers will be happy, and not people here. I can imagine most normal people hating Nicole, and being very content with her as the final vistim. Like, her "physician, poet, blah blah" speech was funny, and so was her sass towards Jon, as well as her complete lack of interest in winning the final task, but won't most normal viewers just hate her and think she's a huge bitch?

With Mark taking the dossier, another confessional about wanting to win for his family and Nicole acting totally cynical the entire episode, I think it's
safe to say now that Mark wins.

Yeah, I know. But maybe Nicole is the mole. We gotta keep the faith.

Editing wise, it seems like Mark is the winner and Craig is the mole. I'm rooting for Nicole to win though.. or be the mole.

Is there any way to figure which of the three were looking at the map instead of holding it when the W was "missed"? If so, I bet that's the
Mole.
It strikes me as being inordinately tough to backtrack through this to figure it out, but it'd be worth if someone knows how to do it. |

Editing wise, it seems like Mark is the winner and Craig is the mole. I'm rooting for Nicole to win though.. or be the mole.On one level, the most obvious level. But most of the posters here are "seeing through" that level. I think, "Sometimes, Anna, a Cigar is just a cigar." And the other level is just to get us to overthink the obvious. Craig is not the Mole: But Craig has been completely incompetent the whole season. How the hell COULD he be in the Finals, if he WASN'T the Mole? Craig gets to shine this eppy. He discovers the Time Zone Map. He figures out the relevance of the Laser Clock. He figures out that red and blue = purple. A little TOO convenient in my book. He's been given clues by the producers. The guy who's supposed to sabotage that assignment is the Hero while the other two have no idea what to do. (Though Mark figures it out eventually.) Mark is the Mole: What I've seen the last two episodes is a full on TABLE-TILT to MAKE Mark the Winner. Take the Paintball Exemption. This was rigged to give SOMEONE the Exemption, preferably Mark. As a kid I had a "Magic Wallet" which had a card that said "Pick a number between 1 and 4." Alakazam! The card turns into "Why does everyone pick 3?" Basic Psychology (some call it MENTALISM.) 4 was the LEAST likely number to be picked Psychologically FIRST. All Craig had to do was wait for someone to pick 3, maybe another number, then he can pick the room with the EXEMPTION without drawing suspicion. Then get his ass blasted to give the Exemption away. Mark was KNOWN to be good at these puzzles. Hell, I solved it in about 10 seconds. You find much harder puzzles in every Crossword Puzzle book printed. It was a T-ball for Mark not to have to face Nicole and Pawlie in the last Quiz. Nicole and Pawlie have had mixed but often Negative edits. Craig even said it in a confessional at the Final 4. "There are two 'Good players' and two 'Bad Players' in this game. One of whom, without the Exemption and the Dossier, would have KICKED MARK'S ASS, as he was torn between Craig and Nicole to the bitter end. Craig finishes his Dossier tasks at the same time Mark does, yet Mark wins the assignment, even though he gets lost. RIIIIIGHT. Craig was told to stay away until Mark won. It's Game Show BULLSH*T 101: You're supposed to pretend that the producers want to give away the least money possible. NO. They want to give away as much money as they can get away with, without making it too obvious. Because that is EXCITING. Ever wonder why whenever there's a Prize on the "Wheel of Fortune" someone inevitably LANDS ON IT? Because the WHEEL IS RIGGED. They need the Product Placement. Then they PUNISH people who get too GREEDY, people who know the answer, yet keep on spinning in order to milk multiple letters still left on the Puzzle. And they freaking SHOW you the Wheel is RIGGED. At the end of the show, they show the Wheel perpetually spinning, which SHOWS you the Wheel has an electric MOTOR attached! How STOOPID do you have to be to believe the Wheel is Fair??? |

And you can't spell CIGAR without CRAIG.
Anyhow, someone please post the name in the Dossier. It's not a Spoiler if they showed it in the fucking episode. The Spec thread has shitloads of caps we scrutinize. And, as someone pointed out, a name is just a name. It doesn't mean the name = Mole. So post it! |

The dossier name that people spotted is not revolutionary... at all. Nicole's name is the one that was spotted thanks to the sunlight shining through the
paper, but Mark also had two more pages in there. I'm pretty certain that inside the dossier were three pages - each one corresponding to the three players
left, and on these pages were some snippets from their application. So basically, having access to the dossier allowed Mark to know who corresponded to which
answer for question 18 on the quiz - a freebie +1 if he happens to pick the correct Mole.

I don't know, question 18 is pretty damn easy to figure out who said which--it's just a question of picking the right Mole. Obviously Mark has an IQ
of 143. Obviously Nicole would be the one to say something as inane as 'complainers annoy me'. Of course Craig has traveled extensively.
That question is freaking easy, and anyone who got to know the contestants would know it. |

That was the suckiest quiz ever. Did they really need 5 different "what order was the mole standing in line 7 missions ago?" questions? Really?

It would actually be kinda annoying if Mark does win and Nicole becomes runner-up because of that question. I didn't mind the "what order was the mole
standing it" questions, because they actually make the quiz. It's a lot better than simple "what group was he in" questions. I DID mind the
fact that there were like, 5 questions on fruit of the luge.

To some posters above, Craig DID say that Mark single-handedly kept $160K out of the pot. Even as MarkFOMO fan, I'm not buying that shit. Totally made up.
edit: oops, I forgot the final mission. What was it? 70K or 75K? So I guess that number is possible afterall.
