RealityBBQ - The Mole

Ali Sonoma (St. Louis, MO), who took a $30,000 bribe to leave the game, and Bobby O’Donnell (Philadelphia, PA), who was one of the most committed players but didn’t last after taking the quiz, became the third and fourth players to leave “The Mole” in a rare double “Execution” during last night’s episode. The fourth episode airs MONDAY, JUNE 23 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. Jon Kelley (”Extra,” “The National Sports Report,” “Baseball Today”) is host.

In the new hour, “Episode 504,” the eight remaining players travel to the majestic Andes, where they face a treacherous trek up a mountain carrying bricks of gold. And a surprising twist pushes one of them to the brink.

The 8 players remaining on “The Mole” are:
Alex (Haverford, PA)
Clay (Philadelphia, PA)
Craig (San Diego, CA)
Kristen (Santa Monica, CA)
Mark (Mukwonago, WI)
Nicole (Chicago, IL)
Paul (Yonkers, NY)
Victoria (Bishop, TX)

ALI SONOMA — Ali is a model, who has worked as a ring girl for the UFC. She describes herself as “stunning” and believes her beauty helps her get her way, but also causes people to instantly dismiss her, which she thought would benefit her in the game. Ali used to be a wild, party girl. She celebrated her 21st birthday with Motley Crue in Las Vegas. But now she treats her body as a temple. She has strong religious beliefs and has settled down with her boyfriend, a UFC fighter. She claims to have a 75% accuracy rate with shotguns and is experienced in fishing. She considers herself ambitious and caring, but also forgetful and prone to road rage. Ali planned on using her beauty and brains to outsmart the other players.

BOBBY O’DONNELL — Bobby loves games, competing and winning, though you may not know it from his low key exterior. He is a hardcore fan of “The Mole” and used to host Mole watching parties in his basement. His weakness was his physique. He’s a little frail and not very athletic. But he knows the game well and thought had a solid strategy to form coalitions with less intelligent players whom he could lead astray. Being gay, he felt that his “gaydar” — the ability to recognize other gay people — would help him read people in the game.

“The Mole” is produced by Stone & Company Entertainment. In the final dramatic episode, the “Mole” will be revealed and one of two final players can win up to $500,000.

Check out the video posted at ABC’s Mole website. There’s an extended preview for the next episode as well as deleted scenes from episode 1. I hope with all of this extra content they’re planning a DVD release!

“Craig is a great guy. He graduated a year ahead of me but we were in the same fraternity together so we had good times together. He crashed my wedding (not that I minded). As soon as I saw his face in a comercial, I knew it was him. I hope he stays on the show for a long time because he is absolutly histerical.”

Spamgirl’s take:
When they say “the Mole” they show Ali.
They show 3 people who say they’re not the Mole, and then the voiceover says “But one of them is lying.”

“That wasn’t your television breaking down during last night’s Lost. Just ABC’s marketing department trying to get your attention.

Oh, you didn’t catch it? At the end of at least three commercial breaks, just after the quick promos for other ABC shows aired and just before the screen flipped back to Lost, a millisecond blast for The Mole showed up.

You may have seen that The Mole’s thumb print or logo appear. An ABC spokesperson confirms to us those “flash teases” – they don’t want to call it subliminal advertising – were not a figment of your imagination, and that they will show up again as the network moves forward with plans to relaunch the show.

Perhaps you’ll also find yourself suddenly hungry for some Orville Redenbacher and a Coke.”
