Guys, do you seriously think that some of these things that are being mentioned could be clues? The ones that get to me the most are people who think that they're reusing clues. For example, Anderson holding an apple in season 2 was a reference to Bill being from Washington. Now I see people saying that they think John holding an apple in season 5 is a reference to Paul being from New York City. Seriously? They're going to use the same clue again? The producers are smart. They probably did that on purpose just to see if anyone would try to take that as a clue. It's the same with the number 7 repeating during celebrity Mole. Do you really think they're going to pick another number like 11 and repeat it? I give the producers credit. I sincerely doubt they'll use the same clues from past seasons in this season.

But Paul is from Yonkers, not New York City. So the apple wouldn't refer to him anyway since he is not from The Big Apple.

yeah, i definitely think that grapes is a recurring theme...
for the N 20 HL 70 sign on the wine barrel, i looked it up as 20% nitrogen and 70 % helium. Doing this gave me trimix, a breathing gas that allows you to breathe well underwater. I read somewhere that craig has sleep apnea, meaning he needs a special machine at night to help him breathe while sleeping. However, this notes nothing about being underwater, i thought i should mention it.

I don't know. But I don't think it's laughing gas just because that's not all it said. It said N 20 and below that it said HL 70. I don't think only looking at one and not the other is smart. What it means? You've got me. But if I were to take anything away from this episode as far as a clue goes it'd be that.

Well, let's take a look at the episode shot:
And an image I found online taken at the same vineyard (I blurred the subject's face to protect the identity of the innocent victim of this post :lol: ):
Now what does everyone think? Did they change the labeling of the barrel for the show or was it just a random barrel for imagery-sake? Or did they get lucky and find a barrel with markings that worked as a clue? My guess is that this is a total non-clue, but along with everyone else you have to look at EVERYTHING just in case and hash it out. It's just part of the process of deduction and what makes this forum fun.
(P.S. From what little I know about all the wineries I've visited in my own home state *hic*, barrels are usually marked to identify the vineyard or origin, the date it was harvested and the strength of its contents - i.e. light toast, heavy toast, etc. HL could stand for "half-life," meaning the amount of years it would take for it to lose half its strength. I'm not entirely certain, but if so then in this case that barrel of wine from the show would take 70 years to lose half of its potency. Again, I'm no expert.)
:jam:

Hey, I'm not saying it makes sense. I'm just saying that I've seen many a people on many a forum try to link the apple to Paul.
