Alex is the mole. Let's talk about clues.
Episode 1: Jon refers to the dinner as the Last Supper. If you look at Leonardo DaVinci's painting, Judas is seated three to the left of Jesus (in the painting, Judas is the black man--or at least man of color--with his arm on the table). At that dinner, if you use Jon as Jesus, Alex was in the seat of Judas. Judas was a betrayer, a la the Mole. Religious imagery abounds this season as they are in Latin America.
Episode 2: When Liz is executed, she says "The Mole got me." Cue a picture of her... Alex is in the foreground and his face is seen.
Episode 3 or 4 (can't remember): The column/building shown right before the quiz has a door and a light which are shaded. Since an orange light is poured on the building, it makes the letter "A."
Couple this with his sabotages: picking up the sign on the beach, doing horribly at the slingshot, placing two apples at the luge challenge, giving up his journal so that all others would be burned, and missing a question.
Add to this his mole-like behavior: the editing where he talks to Victoria and she says "you better not be the mole;" trying to go near to the end at the Jail challenge (he can't go last and take the exemption--too obvious--so he lets Mark go last, hoping he'll desperately take the exemption); acting as though he'll do the challenge in which he dresses as a Conquistador (because it doesn't matter-- they've already agreed to fail the mission).
The answer is simple: Alex is the mole. I never guess the Mole correctly and even I see it this time.
