I think Mark initially planned on helping them win the final mission, BUT I think Mark needed to keep the $75,000 out of the pot because he tried to sabotage the clock-bomb game, but Craig ended up cutting the purple wire instead of blue+red, so Mark had to go for the dossier.

Without it, you have a 50/50 chance of winning $495,000. With it, you have a better than 50/50 chance of winning $420,000. How much better? Well, to use game theory and calculate the value of each choice: 50% * $495,000 = $247,500 58.9% * $420,000 = $247,500 Essentially, you had to just hope the Dossier would give you a 59% chance of winning (or better), instead of a 50% chance of winning, for it to be the right choice.

There are several instances in which Mark has TRIED to sabotage but failed, or he's just been put in a position where if he were to sabotage, it would be extremely obvious. Such as...?

I also think that the treadmill challenge was a situation in which it would be difficult to sabotage without being obvious. No one would believe that he needed to stop running, because he's such a strong runner. I'm still convinced that Craig and Nicole were deliberately answering the questions wrong, or taking too much time on easy ones in order to see if Mark would step in and answer. If he didn't step in then it was confirmation in their eyes that he was the Mole.

Which could mean he was the mole, or it could mean he didn't want them to cut the wrong one. I was referring more to the "several instances where he tried to sabotage but failed". And personally, I'm not sure it would have been so obvious if Mark didn't run the whole time. It's not like they all saw him running 10 miles a day or he only had to do it for 10 minutes or something. Or he could have just run and not answered most of the questions for them. Obviously, nobody can say for sure what has and hasn't been done to try and sabotage, because we don't know for sure yet who the mole is. I was just curious (and not in a bitchy way) when Kitty thought he was trying to saotage but failed, because I couldn't remember any off the top of my head.
