RealityBBQ - The Mole

I thought last night’s Mole was very interesting for many reasons.

First,  I was right about Mark, the dude is obsessive.  I think he has been seriously traumatized over losing that first Diary.  Hell, he couldn’t even commit to the other players that HE could trust HIMSELF to not take the Exemption.  He is one paranoid guy!  Obsessive… Paranoid… he seems to have a lot in common with Smeagol.   I’m just sayin’… very Smeagol-like persona. 

Last week I couldn’t get a handle on Kristen and her game-play.  This week it doesn’t matter.  Glad I didn’t invest a lot of time in figuring that one out!

And what in the heck was up with Paul & Clay last night?  I find them both annoying.  The other players should have all baled out of the van and left Paul & Clay to hug it out.  ;)  It was kind of funny watching Clay push Paul’s buttons.  Too bad there was a front-seat ejector button.

So that leaves Craig, Alex & Nicole.  IMHO, I see one of these Players being The Mole and one being The Winner.

If Alex is The Mole, the Producers have done a good job of NOT showing us any of his Mole behavior.  Whereas both Craig & Nicole have each been a little Mole-like from time to time. 

If Craig was The Mole, he made a fatal error last night getting an Exemption.   It was way too risky to do (especially if he is The Mole and knows he won’t be eliminated).  So why do it? 

And while Nicole has lightened up a bit since the first two episodes, she still put herself out there too soon and too much.  Not good Mole behavior in my book.

No way can Paul or Clay be The Mole.  They are more into irritating each other than trying to be subtle.

So through a process of elimination I have decided Alex is The Mole.

No wait, Clay is The Mole.

Maybe Nicole?

Paul? 

I know!  Its Smeagol!  I’m sticking with Smeagol.

No wait…
