Not necessarily. If Mark had managed to score a goal, there's a very good possibility that taxi would have moved down the hill.


I still can't figure out why everyone wanted Mark and Kristen to do it. I would think you'd want the slower out of shape people riding a bike up a hill, and keep the soccer coach on the soccer field.

Well, they had no idea what exactly the task entailed when they were selecting the two uphill battlers. Jon said to choose two people who "feel like they are always facing an uphill battle" - so immediately Craig and Liz volunteered because that does indeed describe them. The group knew however that you should never take the challenge descriptions literally because they always end up backfiring on you, so that's why two athletic people were chosen. They figured those two would be going up the mountain, so naturally you'd want fit people doing that. Of course, this actually ended up backfiring on the group... it was a good reverse psychology ploy from the producers.

I don't get why Craig was supposed to volunteer for this. You'd think it'd be a better Mole tactic to actually suggest the two strongest atheletes in the group to allow them a better chance of getting the exemption and therefore denying the pot some money.
