Mark is going pretty heavy on the Mole behavior, but I'm still not feeling it from him. I think he's really stressed out from being away from his family, and he's also trying really hard to win, and I think people are mistaking that for Moleyness. But I could be wrong. I'm also starting to rethink Clay a little. That explosion with Paul and all of the Jesus stuff - maybe being quiet and backgroundy is really just part of his strategy. I'll tell you who has bumped up on my list though - Alex. He VERY often just sits back and lets others argue it out, which I must admit - if I were the Mole and I was part of this retarded group - would be my strategy, too. They're all so crazy that whoever is the Mole doesn't really have to do anything at all, and Alex is such a doormat that he seems to do just that with no problem.
Anyway, what do you think? If you were to choose a fruit as your lifelong companion, which kind would you pick?

I was pretty unhappy with this week's episode, it was just so darn boring... Even SmugJon didn't liven it up for me.
I have to agree with your Alex assessment, he would be a good mole, though I think it's sad that he basically is going to "win" without even trying if he is the Mole. This group is so stupid, they are losing without any help.
I'm iffy about Mark, I agree that the stress is likely getting to him over some of the others. Not that everyone doesn't have a "reason" to win, but his seemed pretty heartfelt (wanting to win so his wife would only have to work 1 job and be with their kids). I kinda hope he is the Mole, just so he goes home with something. I felt so bad when they burned his journal! (I think that's my Mummy-side coming out.)
If I had to choose a fruit as my lifelong companion, I would like tomatoes. Maybe one large tomato and host of baby tomatoes!

My fruity companion would be a kiwi because I like to rub fuzzy stuff. (*random thought* I wonder how that sounds when other people read it) Also, I think Cap'em Chlosterol is the Mole

Just started reading, but had to post about Jon and his "MAGICAL WIZARD POWERS to instantly turn the day into night."
That bugged the hell out of me!

On one hand, Alex is the only one who suited up for the TRAVELERS mission.
On the other hand, Alex has A LOT OF MOLES ON HIS FACE.
According to TV W/O PITY, PAUL FREE was sung to CHER'S "HALF BREED."
Still lovin' my big fat Craig. Since Kristen's gone I'm thinking it's Mark or Clay.

The Mole is totally Clay.
1. He opted out at the naked clothing hunt straight off.
2. He picked a fight with Paul out of the blue just to stir things up.
3. When they were chained together he was the rebelrouser who wanted to stir things up even when he was cool with Kristen taking it anyway (who unrolled his sleeping bag first?)
4. He talked people into giving him the exemption the week prior out of nowhere. Even though there was every reason to give it to Kristen.
5. He likes to sit back and observe, except to cause a ruckus on rare occasion.
6. Pay attention to his interview speeches. They're VERY moley. He doesn't act worried or say anything that would convince me is anything but the Mole. He's not super emotional.
He's playing the whole game for subtle sabotage as if someone else is telling him when to do things.

Great recap as usual, Scream!
I agree this episode was kinda slow, but I found out something very entertaining to me: Clay has SWAGGER! Never knew he had it in him..
Anyway, I still think its either Craig or Clay - Mark is obsessed with the money, and Paul is a moron, just like Clay said. The obgyn lady wants people to think she is, but she'll be gone next week - watch.

I lost interest in this show when I realized it wasn't about skin anomolies (about the third episode of season one).
Even without watching, it is still (maybe MORE) worth reading Screampillar's bodaceous recaps (bodaceous?? Did I just out my age??).
Thanks, S-P!

It's totally Clay...
Episode one, they held up Journal 11 and that was the number on his soccer jersey.
I almost hope it isn't Clay, just to make it more interesting.
