Is that really a touch screen... or a regular monitor that Jon Kelley is using. I think some assistant is off-camera clicking a mouse at just the right moment. Marcie made some odd choices as the non-mole on the first mission. People already thought she was the Mole, she should have played that challenge a little less erratic. |

If Paul ends up being the mole with his fake eye rolling and "Now I can breathe easier" he is the worst Mole ever. As someone pointed out earlier,
the fact that Marcie was eliminated either means Paul has no idea who the Mole is or he is the Mole himself.
Please let the mole not be Paul, that would suck!!!! Watching it last night he seemed too obvious to me and the Mole needs to be more discrete. Now going for classic Mole, I would go with Kirsten and Clay. Both seemed to outwardly try hard the first two challenges and both kept their mouths shut. |

This episode was not the best Mole Episode, but I feel that premieres are usually the worst episode of the season .... for a premiere, it was great, especially
since there has not been a new episode of a civilian Mole in six some years .... Sure I miss Cooper and the old music but fuck that was great.
The challenges were amazing .... one that was just purely amazing on the sheer terror of it and the second one on the ability to sabotage and the two-sided athleticism and intelligence angle. Mole challenges don't have to be insanely elaborate ... it's great to have games such as Defending a Glass Bowl and Finding the Prisoner, but most often the best Mole Challenges are the simpler ones, such as Three Questions. The music was different but it was still on par .... the host was a little stiff but I'm sure we will see him loosen up. There seems to be a fair mix of characters and hopefully those that are there to mug for the camera will be weeded out soon enough. It's good to see an old friend back. |

There is definitely a strategy for taking the first few quizzes if you dont know who the mole is. Answer general broad questions with the largest group. That would actually be my strategy everytime. Seems like it would be the safest bet until you're circa final 5, at which point you should probably have a strong suspect. Also answer as quick as I can. Face it, if you answer the questions with a suspect in mind and it turns out you're wrong or too slow, you're done. |

Did anybody find it odd when the host made light of a tour guide and his clients dying when they went over the waterfall? He threw on a bad German accent and
said something to the effect of "Zey vent kaput over the falls." If it never happened, then it was a pointless line....if it did then he didn't
make the situation seem serious/dangerous, he just came off as an unfunny asshole.

Okay, I can understand Anderson Cooper has moved on. I can understand they couldn't even get a fifth-rate Anderson Cooper clone to replace him. (I
suggested Josh Gates to Stone-Stanley, but I guess they didn't want anybody who had pesky things like personality or camera presence to get in the way of
ABC's quest for affirmative action.) But Jebus Christ, was it too much to ask that they keep the friggin' music? The Season 1 and 2 music cues made the
show, and they replace it with what sounds like stock library pieces. The casting wasn't too bad, and I'm sure I'll warm up to some of these people
(even though most of these slack-jawed yokels would probably have their heads explode if presented with the first season's logic puzzles). But they need to
make the reverse psychology editing less blatant. It was pretty obvious that chick a) wasn't the mole and b) was going to be the first one eliminated just
by how much everybody was talking about how she was the mole. The mole is Mark, of course.

Tea should have been an obvious choice. Tea was an incredibly popular drink at that time. Tobacco strikes me as a common sense choice as well. Both were
readily available and popular items back then.

This is the first time I have watched the Mole. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about - now I'm hooked!
Loved the personalities and the whole subterfuge feel to the show. |

The quiz questions were a bit specific. Quite a few were person specific and not just the order of jump, ages of contestants or clothing specific. That seemed a bit much for the first quiz. On the other hand, do we know for sure that the quiz is only 10 questions? Perhaps it's longer and they only showed us a sampling. I hope that it is longer because 10 questions isn't very much. |

He said in a pre-show interview that that was his strategy since he is naturally out of shape anyway. I thought I would hate Ali, but I really love her now - she seems like a fighter. Did anybody find it odd when the host made light of a tour guide and his clients dying when they went over the waterfall? He threw on a bad German accent and said something to the effect of "Zey vent kaput over the falls." Although you weren't trying to be funny... |

If anything, the host mocking others' deaths would make him better. Maybe he'll join in on the death threats next week.

Like it was pointed out on the show, it seems it would be too easy for him to sabotage. Bobby may be employing the Dorothy technique of having no physical ability whatsoever. I can't remember; on previous versions of the show, did the exempt player(s) take the quiz? I know Nicole had that little camera/computer for her to appear on screen, but I wonder if she got to take the quiz. I imagine so since it would be unfair for her not to see the questions. Hate the host. The Mole better not be the freaking model. On both celebrity editions, it was the model. |

I'm glad to see some of my favorite posters in here. I just watched this on the DVR. No way am I staying up past ten for this show. I thought the whole
crying because both spouses had to work two jobs was kind of fake. He has no problem leaving the wife alone for up to ten weeks but somehow they both need two
jobs a piece to survive.
