Ep3-

Oh no! My top suspect is now gone! Looks like I was fooled again. I just have to laugh that my top two suspects after the first ep I think were the first two eliminated. Looks like my mole-dar is not working very well for the Australian version so far.

It's been awhile, but I took a break with the U.S. Mole ending. :p Actually, I lured a friend into watching with me, and I had to rewatch the first 2 eps with her before I could get to the third.

My friend is positive Angela is the Mole since the second episode (she's pretty much put all her eggs in one basket unlike me and my rankings :p). But she also thought the U.S. Mole was Paul (and then Mark after Paul was eliminated) when I was telling her every week since that ambulance episode that it was Craig :p, so we'll see how this works out for her... (although I can't really talk after picking John and Helen as my top suspects at first...)

My rankings:

1 - Shane - He just keeps getting more suspicious. The time limit he and Angela had on the manequin challenge was ridiculous, but still, I have a hard time believing they both didn't notice they'd given some manequins 4 items and some 6, let alone the socks with "John Edwards" written on them being put on another manequin besides John. And I was suspicious when all the "good-looking" people made it through to the F10, so it'd make a little more sense if one of them was the Mole. Plus it'd make sense that they'd decide to pick a good-looking Mole to try and bring in viewers. And unlike Alan, I wouldn't mind seeing him in every remaining episode, especially if he keeps getting in tight speedo-like swim trunks. Mmmmm. Well, sometimes he looks kind of dorky but for the most part he's cute. Although, it's hard to tell watching on youtube where everything's a little blurry. :p I actually thought about trying to download the torrent fo this season to watch it a lot clearer, but I'm just so scared that while I'm looking for a torrent I'll see the name of the Mole or something like that, so I'm not chancing it.

2 - Angela - Basically most everything I just said about Shane. And it'd make sense for them to have a female Mole after a male one. The only thing is, she just seems slightly too stupid and famewhorish to be picked as the Mole, but that could be acting on her part, who knows.

3 - Emily - OK, I know I said in the beginning that I didn't think she could be the Mole at all. But she stays suspicous without doing anything that you can really pinpoint back to her, and she is starting to seem smarter and sneakier than she's letting on.

4 - Michael - They could've decided to do an Alan v2.0 with the editing and Michael, so I'm keeping my eye on him.

5 - Mal - Even though he's a big guy, he's also kind of in the background a lot.

6 - Fiona - I still don't think she's the Mole, but she does seem suspicious at times.

7 - Brooke - I used to be suspicous of her until this episode. I do not think for one second the Mole would want to be the one trying for the exemption in the "catch the person holding the manequin and running around the city" challenge. Because the Mole would have to really work not to be caught to lose money for the pot, while s/he could easily just be a chaser and lead the others in the wrong direction, if the Mole would even want to be in that challenge at all. So in other words, Brooke is not the Mole.

8 - Hal - Like I've said before, not the Mole. He's like Mark from the U.S. version; he tries too hard. And he was the one who spotted Brooke and helped catch her, almost single-handedly winning the mission and putting money in the pot.

Ep 5 -

Why are they re-introducing everyone each episode? They pause and go over everyone's name, location, etc every single ep. What's that all about?

I also wonder why they've added "Who is the traitor" as the tagline this season. It's probably just something they decided to do, but if it ends up that it's a clue I just wanted it down that I'd noticed it as a possible clue. :p And there's that screen at the very beginning with all the contestants photos with the eliminated ones Xed out too.

Also, I'm suprised how many missions they're repeating from the first season. Not only that, they're doing different versions of missions from one episode to the next. For instance, how many times can you take away one or two of the people and have the others try to find/rescue/discover them to win the mission?

The players are a little less dynamic I think than last season too (they had struck gold with Beverly I think) but despite it all, I'm still enjoying this season.

I had a hard time deciding the order of my top 3. There's a big gap of suspicion between my top 3 and bottom 3 cause I'm pretty sure the Mole is Emily, Shane or Mal.

Poor Fiona's gone but I never really suspected her. My friend is still "positive" the Mole is Hal. I'm actually starting to wonder if he might be the winner since he seems a lot like Mark from the this season of the U.S. version.

Rankings:

1 - Emily - In the mission to find Hal and Shane in the wilderness, she and Mal got lost for a long time which was suspicious.

2 - Shane - I have to wonder if he and Hal had to sleep in the wilderness since they didn't show any of it.

3 - Mal - With Emily in the mission where they both stayed lost a long time. Also, I was all ready to discount him from consideration when he voted for himself to play dress up in the first mission, as I didn't think the Mole would want to be the one hiding in that mission. But then, we got to the end of the mission. He had had a lot of "old-timey" clothes and costumes to choose from to put on and hide out in an old-timey town, but we find out he had dressed up as his camera man. I am just very suspicious that the old-timey costumes would include a wig VERY similar to the curly black hair of the cameraman, as well as almost the exact same random red cap and it seemed like a very similar outfit of like a light blue t shirt and shorts. Why would an old-timey clothes rack have all those things? And he shaved his mustache which reminded me of when Alan decided to dye his hair in the first season. The difference between my suspicion of him, Shane and Emily are so close it's almost a tie right now. And while he's different from Alan, I just see a lot of the same way of acting about him as how Alan was.

4 - Brooke - Though suspiciuos at times, I don't really think it's her.

5 - Michael - Ditto to Brooke.

6 - Hal - Not the Mole.
