The quiz begins, and it goes allll the way back to the beginning, asking all sorts of impossible questions that no one in their right mind could possibly remember. I've got to hand it to whoever wins here, because it's going to be tough. All sorts of questions about money earnings, line placements, and of course the requisite fashion questions about pant color and shirt collar status. There's also a question in there about what the Mole put on their player application, which was probably in the dossier that Mark got. $75,000 for one little question. Costly, but could be worth it.
And that's it until tonight! Before I give you my final thoughts, I'd once again like to give a shout-out to Jon Kelley, who more or less proved with detailed accuracy last week that he does in fact read these here recaps. We love you, Jon! Hope you saved some of your finest smug for the finale!
Okay, here's what I think:
Craig - seems to be the Mole favorite. A lot of signs have pointed directly to him, and with the three that are left, he makes the most sense. I still don't feel like the producers would choose someone so out of shape and therefore risky to the production, and he did pull out a lot of mission-saving ideas to diffuse the bomb, but with what we've got left and the mounting evidence, it's hard to deny that he's probably it.
Nicole - too bat-shit crazy to be the Mole. Of course, that could be part of her plan, but she's just been SO obvious ever since the beginning, and that's just not how the Mole is supposed to act. So it's either just a terrible strategy, or a really clever ruse. Also, Nicole would be a definite change from the lily-white Moles of four years past, but I used that theory in the last season ("they would never pick two models in a row to be the Mole") and that was dead wrong.
Mark - ah, Mark. If Craig is the Mole, I'll begrudgingly accept. If Nicole is the Mole, I'll probably feel unsatisfied. But if Mark is the Mole...damn. This will go down as one of my personal most shocking reality moments ever. Because he would have had me completely fooled, since I've been almost positive from the beginning that it was definitely not Mark. I'm also torn, because I really want Mark to win the money, because I think he's such a good player. But part of me, the part that absolutely loves a complete surprise/blindside, is secretly hoping for Mole. Except for the fact that my mother will have been right all along, and she'll never let me forget it.
AHH! We'll see what happens! Any last minute guesses, folks?

Oh, screampiller. What a season it's been. We've laughed, we've cried, we've changed our minds about who the Mole is 8937221249 times...
2 things:
1- SmugJon has really grown on me. I love him!
2- I am leaning towards Nicole as the Mole. I think she's been trying to be clever and play a "reverse psychology" strategy; like, if I make it so obvious that I'm the mole, no one will ever believe I *am* actually the mole! It has a perverse logic to it, no? But if it's Craig, I won't be shocked in the slightest. If Mark is the mole I will eat my flip-flops for breakfast with maple syrup and butter.

Screampillar, you don't really think that SmugJon is reading and writing in do you? Even if "he" provides clues, couldn't the writer be many different people in production of the show that are feeding you info.
Craig is definitely the Mole. The other two a whack jobs.

I laughed hysterically that you mentioned the three questions game, I also griped about missing it.
I wanted so badly to like this season, but I feel like we've been a little let down. I loved the jail and hotel missions from past seasons. And this last mission, seemed far scaled down from the second season one that was similar. I mean who can beat Heather almost being attacked by a wild boar. Stood by Craig the whole time, still do now, although I'd love the shock of Mark.

If you needed an OB/GYN would you go to Nicole? I sure wouldn't. She's nuts. i dont' think she did herself one bit of good. She better change professions. Other than that it was a good season. I hope they bring it back next summer.
