He didn't use his weight to sabotage, but he did use it to avoid suspicion. He sabotaged well throughout the entire season, and most people did not catch
onto him until week 7! Why the hell do you guys think he sucked?

Yeah, he was only obvious to us since everyone else who made it far was too colorful. The contestants probably thought Craig was the most colorful in real
life.

After I started to watch closely, it was obvious that craig was the mole. He acted too baffoonish but in many other ways he was a really smart guy. Plus, the
glasses were a giveaway- a mole is nearsighted. But you are right, only Paul was on to Craig. Dummies!

He wasn't so much a good mole as far as sneaky sabotage, but rather good in the fact he was just "one of the guys."
I prefer the former, but either works in the long run i guess. |

He hardly even sabotaged anything that well. He got lucky when he "single-handedly" sabotaged all of the players when they opted out of the costumes
challenge... and getting shot by Mark, great sabotage there on Craig's part. Kudos.

It became obvious to ANYONE with two eyes and two ears when Clay was executed.

Craig was hands down the worst fucking mole ever!
Yeah, I guess from a "social" standpoint, he did do a good job of buddying up to people and making them think there was no way in hell he was the mole, but when it came to actual sabotages, he sucked donkey shit. "ZOMG!! I'M GONNA TALK WHEN I'M NOT ALLOWED TO!!!! THEN I'M GONNA MAKE NICOLE TALK WHEN SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO!!!!" For realz!?! That's the best fucking shit he and/or the production team could come up with??? And people say Bill sucked as the Mole. Well Bill looked like an evil genius compared to Craig. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this season, but since it's our last, it's beyond dissapointing to have such a shitty mole.

He cost over $100,000. Doesn't matter how he did it, that's pretty damn good. And buddying up to allay suspicion is fantastic and not that easy to do.

Craig did a good job with the method he used for sabotage--that being making people think he was incapable; however, to the hardcore viewers that's a pretty damn lame case to make for yourself. Nicole's over-the-top drawing attention to her or Mark's act super competitive attitude and sabotaging the final missions could have been much more interesting methods. |

The problem with the American versions, is that they try too hard to use "the last person you would suspect" angle.
In season 1, it was sweet, innocen, but emotional Kathryn who just wanted to stay for the long haul. In season 2, it was good ol' trustworthy Bill. This season, it was jolly Craig who would never hurt a fly. After watching Oz Mole season 3, I can safely say that the best way to go about it is to choose a random person who just costs them a shitload of money in many subtle and not-so subtle ways. |

Most of his "sabotage" was just happenstance.

The only thing I didn't like about Craig's sabotaging is the final mission in which he single handily won for the group. :|

And they made it super obvious he got the answers way worse than when Bill and Katharine got them and tried to gain money for the pot on the final mission.

Craig did a really good job.
The editors didn't. By the last few episodes, the mole became very obvious. Too obvious, which is why I thought Nicole would be the surprise Mole. But that's not Craig's fault. The editing this season SUCKED. First of all, as soon as we saw Mark's confessional in episode 1 crying about wanting to stay for his family, in an oddly placed time, it should have been obvious he was either the first out or the winner. Many people had interviews that pointed to elimination. Liz saying that their odds of being executed were greater. She goes. Victoria saying she wanted to do the quiz and that she was nervous. She goes. Kristen again talking about the quiz, being nervous. She goes. Perhaps the most obvious example, in the recap before the episode Paul was eliminated, they highlighted the Paul/Nicole fight from WEEK 2. Duh, it was obvious one of them was going that ep. |

Let's look at Craig's sabotage list:
- Suggested Bobby should stay in the wheelbarrow - Talked during Fruit of the Luge (Wasn't the only one to do so) - Sucked at the "How's the view" challenge. Not really impressive. I'm not counting the suckage during bungee/waterfeall jumps and the travelers missions because those are things he would've done as a contestant. |

I guess it's worth pointing out Craig just did what the Producers told him to do. He is the Producers' hands.
(Don't forgot his Scavenger sabotage by taking two objects out of play.) |

He had me fooled until the last 2 or 3 episodes. I should have figured it out when Bobby was eliminated.

I hated the fact that the editing/Jon suggested that he gave the bomb-tied-to-money-time-zone mission to the players when (1) it was obvious they weren't
letting him do anything and (2) he questioned the cutting of the wires at the last second (to either make them change their minds or waste time). True, he
found the map, but the wire stuff at the end totally undercuts that.
