The Mole is....

Craig!

My #1 suspect to be the Mole from week 1 turned out to be right on the dot! The out of shape fun-loving guy used his friendly charm to fool the other players into thinking: 'it couldn't be him...'.

Others suspected Mark, who won the game, but wasn't actually on the trail of the Mole until almost the last week. Mark was lucky to have stayed in the game, barely missing being executed time and again on tie-breakers (faster times on the quiz). As his picks for the Mole dwindled, eventually so did his choices. And remembering that his coalition partner was elimated after targeting Nicole as a suspect, changed his quarry to Craig. And it won him $420,000. Not a bad guess. Nicole also had Craig targeted as the Mole on the final quiz but was out scored by Mark 17 to 13.

So ends another exciting season of the Mole. Alas! The best of the reality TV games shows.

Who is The Mole?

My favorite TV show is back on the air. The Mole! The original version. Not the crazy celebrity version. The real deal. 11 regular people trying to win money in a variety of team contests. And one mole - trying to sabotage the games, and purposely lose money for the players.

I love trying to figure out which of the players is actually the Mole. It's difficult, because some players are just naturally gumballs who blow the games unintentionally. Other sneaky players try to get the other players to think they are the Mole, to throw others off the scent and give themselves an advantage.

After Week #1 I think the Mole is Craig (Occupation: Graphic Artist, Age 30). I suspect him mainly because because he looks so un-mole-like. He's the type of fellow that if he causes the team to lose points you tend to overlook it because you figure he's an out of shape guy, no wonder he couldn't to the task successfully. Very sneaky!

My second suspect would be Liz (Occupation: Retiree, Age 60). I mean really... who's going to suspect an 60 year old lady? I would!

Will I be right?

After week #1, Marcie (housewife, mother) was sent packing, since she did the poorest on the 'Who is the Mole' quiz. Both my suspects are still alive. Next Monday, 10:00PM on ABC can't come soon enough.
