For competitive reality TV fans, elimination order is the ultimate puzzle. Piecing together flight records, social media activity, and insider tips is a community-driven detective game.
The tension between wanting to know and wanting to be surprised is what makes spoiler discussion so addictive — it's speculation elevated to sport.

I think Bacc is right on w/ the OBGYN thing. I mean, c'mon, Nicole is an OBGYN, and the clue is G BOY N?? Hello D....you can't deny that one ;) Maybe it means though, that she is the winner, not the one eliminated.
Maybe that is why they chose him. The mole has to throw missions right? Everyone else would assume it's because he's fat and out of shape, not because he must be the mole.That is exactly why they picked him. Nobody is going to be upset with him messing up the missions. They figure it is due to his lack of physical abilities. Why wouldn't that be reason to chose him to be the Mole.

killer_tofu;25222 wrote:Isn't that what the point is? The Mole is never supposed to help them in the missions. The only time they ever do is when all the suspicion is on them and they need to take it off of them. Craig has never once stepped up in a mission and he has never done good in anything that doesn't involve physical activity. He is always stepping up to be in the "dumb group" not allowing the group to decide. Easy sabotage. Mark will go in any group and has stepped up tremendously.

I won't be here right after to gloat/take my medicine. I am going to record The Mole and watch Phelps go for his third gold (10:18 PM) live. ...but to chime in with KT in agreement, is it really sabotage when you can't do it in the first place?

He doesn't need to be in tip-top shape to perform all these missions. Does bungee-jumping have anything to do with running/hiking abilities? No. And him being overweight is perfect for the people in the game. He is a big suspect because he doesn't do wll, but then he isn't because size is working against him. It is a perfect mixture of both.

killer_tofu;25231 wrote:Pure luck. How do you know it wasn't Bobby or the other person who led them that way. Plus, Craig was the one looking at the card and when Jon told them about the clue on the card Craig even mentioned that he should have noticed that. It would have saved them a lot of trouble. Craig noticing it at the dinner table after the mission is quite funny.
I do believe him and Bobby and one other person who I can't remember right now found their clothes at the drycleaner in one of the missions...

Well I am sorry if he takes the gloating hard. Stay strong Bacchus. Did anyone of the executed players guess it completely right?

PS...you can watch seasons 1 and 2 on YouTube in full. YouTube - moleclassic's Channel
GoldenWarrior;25533 wrote:The only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that, it didn't matter who the Mole was, I could probably point out every sabotage they did. And when Craig came out I knew how he did it. I just didn't know his strategy. Wasn't it amazing how incredibly hard the clues were? Before this season, I could always find one but never figure out what it mean, but this season left me flabbergasted when it revealed the hidden clues.
Thanks I will have to check it out before it disappears and yeah I was a little disappointed with the Mole even though I pretty much missed all the clues even during my season catch up.

Hahahaha. Anyone notice how Bacchus hasn't said anything on this thread yet?
Bacchus;25621 wrote:He had to have done something Bacchus.. he was the Mole. And he had most of them guessing for weeks. As for him sabotaging, he just made himself an easier target to get hit. He knew he had an exemption on him so why try hard to keep it safe? The piggy mission was sabotaged also by him putting Bobby in the wheel chair. Someone has to wheel him and someone would have to carry all the piggies. Doesn't it make you look less suspicious if you are a jumping jack away from a heart attack? And how do you know Craig wouldn't have won? This game has absolutely nothing do with the missions. It is how well of an observer, how you can read people, and how much you can remember and play the game. Craig is an obvious Mole, but if your guess Mark was too, he could have been just as obvious. But Craig's job was just to stump everyone. He wasn't there to trick everybody because it will never happen. And it was great strategy for him to act himself. Yeah my first pick was eliminated early in Kristen, but at least I changed my answer to Craig and not the winner. :) Good debate.
What can I say, the reveal was so disappointing I didn't immediately have words to describe the bad taste in my mouth. Craig basically did NOTHING as the mole, literally. I mean, come on! One of the "sabotage" moments was when Mark shot him in paint ball? Wasn't that just because he is a 300 lb slug? Another being the clay piggy challenge where he was so winded he could hardly talk, let alone jog? Is it really "mole like" behavior when you are a jumping jack away from a heart attack? As I said on day one, Craig was the most obvious Mole and my initial pick. I just didn't want him to be, as what is the point of having a guy who couldn't win anything in the first place, "fail?" I feel duped as the mole didn't act like the mole. He just was himself. A grossly overweight underachiever. What fun is that? I am glad the finale pulled in horrid numbers (2.97 Million Viewers.) It will not be returning... As for all you "gloaters" - I'd probably look good right now too if my pick was eliminated in June... Oh Ya, KT - Rock - and more Dart riding the fail train. Much like Paul, I was actually the only one here to even have Craig on my radar for the first 7 weeks of the series!
