You guys are thinking WAY to much from a player's point of view, trying to evaluate every one's play as Moley or not.
If you are the Mole, you have absolutely NO OBLIGATION to SABOTAGE ANYTHING. You are paid a FLAT FEE. You don't win the Pot the rest of the Crew loses.
(Maybe it'd be better if the Mole WON, everything the Group LOST. But that would make the Mole reckless and an EASY PICK. Then everyone would sabotage everything in an attempt to distract people from the actual Mole more than they already do.)
Kathryn did very little to ruin the Assignments. Bill had the last Assignment in HIS hands and let the Pot go up, I believe, $120,000 rather than take some money himself, out of RESPECT to the Ultimate Winner. Because he lived with these people for a Month and wanted the Winner to walk away with as much money as possible.
THAT'S how ACTUAL Moles PLAYED. You should think about THAT as much as you imagine the Mole "should" play, according to ABC SPIN.
You people are forgetting an essential part of the Game. ABC picks the Mole out of the Contestants. That makes the Mole one of the Contestants, sympathetic to the other players, whose primary motivation is to HIDE the fact that they are the Mole. What gives away the Mole isn't the Mole's behavior. It really should be thinking about ABC'S motives and who they WANT to be the Mole. WHY they want you to think one person is the Mole as opposed to another. What they want the best over-all Story line to be. What keeps everyone GUESSING until the end as to who the actual Mole is.
Of the four remaining players, ABC has been hinting the STRONGEST that Paul, Nicole and, yes, Mark is the Mole. Their interests is to throw you off the track.
