The Llama Thing - Is one of the contestants' birthdays coming up?

The Eleven Thing - I hear eleven is an evil number like 666

All the Graffiti - There was so much graffiti in the last episode. Someone must have caught it. Once when they arrived to the challenge, once on the wall behind the metal bars during the challenge, once on the wall that Craig was standing in front of at the halfway point during the second challenge.

Thanx  the welcome georgia peach. I have another thing to add for Paul being the mole. In the second question of the quiz for episode 5 "From my perspective where was the mole standing?" is interesting because if you look at the clue card for that epsiode 5 there is a series of numbers:

234
715

If you put these numbers together in order the only on missing is 6 and Paul was the 6th person standing. from John's perspective.

Also in episode 3 Bobby had a good theory uring the fruit of the luge mission where he saw Jon with an apple and made the big apple connection to Paul being from New York aka "The Big Apple".


so who do you think is the mole georgia peach?
also what does everyone else think of my anlysis? =)

Thanks for the welcome.

Didnt the llama clue say something about a birthday party?

And have you noticed how awkwardly Mark breathes when his name is called at executions? It seems to be bad acting.

this is one of the reasons why i doubt paul is the mole.  during that episode bobby was trying to convince mark in the sauna that paul was the mole.  he seemed pretty convinced.  this leads me to believe that bobby took the quiz thinking that paul was the mole and that was the episode that bobby was executed.

Well you can still be a coach and suck at the sport your coaching.  At our school our old soccer coach sucked horribly.

But in any case, Mark did not participate in the soccer challenge at all--he was running up the hill with Kristen, right?

Correct (they also caused the team to lose $35k in the pot for exemptions)

D'aww, I never got a welcome >_>

In any case, I still haven't watched the newest episode (I really should. . .), but I have kept up with what people have been saying. I am still convinced that Mark is the mole.

Mark's a soccer coach. They had a challenge of soccer.

I don't know, this just stuck out to me. It would make sense if he was the mole to skip the sport that he coaches, and to take the task that will keep money from the pot. I dunno.

Also, someone earlier mentioned somthing else that has stuck with me; something about the word "I" never being capitalized in the journals. This struck me as odd and I can't shake the feeling that this may have something to do with the 'I lie with my eyes (I's)' clue. I don't know.

I'm going to look into it some more to see if I can find some sort of pattern.

Maybe that was the clue in general.... The challenge was soccer... with kids......  he's a soccer coach.... he has kids... and the chains that bind us are the kids mark and paul have.. maybe mark IS the mole.

The small "i"s in the journal is just the font they used, which is one of the available fonts at Scrapblog. I created the same thing using that font.. TOp one is from the journal, bottom one is from me.





this was posted on the earlier page just thought I'd remind you all. SO it would seem that the font has all lower case I's and it was not done on purpose. I guess it could still be a clue, but i doubt it.

Haven't seen anything about this posted here...

I think I know what the last text clue means.  I'm continuing on the assumption that the clues refer to the people who are leaving that week.

CHNO 111738 becomes C11H17N3O8

This is the chemical formula for tetrodotoxin, a potent neurotoxin.  Kristen was the neuroscientist.  Seems to fit.

I have no idea what this means, so maybe someone else can interpret this clue. 

In the scrapbook, "trail" is mentioned twice.  First in "throw you off the trail" and then on the next page the mole says "happy trails". 

It seems too coincidental to have that word twice in one set of entries without it meaning something.

The only problem is - I have no idea what it could mean!

I believe the font name is PP Handwriting Font by Pelle Piano, you can see it here:

Maybe the neurotoxin symbolizes the mole defeating Kristen. The Heart could symbolize defeating Liz. And I dont know about the Titanic thing.

Well, I think this idea was already given, but the only people to not survive the sinking of the Titanic were the ones who took the life rafts.  Those who died didn't.  And I'm sure you remember who didn't take the raft.  Yep.  Marcie.  The first one to go.

And MountainsOutOfMoleHills (mind if I call you mountains?), how did you get that?
