The Mole 5.0 *Ongoing Clue Analysis and Challenge Discussions*
V.L.:
Okay, I know most people are saying it's Craig. And I know this isn't new information... But I think Nicole's little stunt tonight about throwing the Quiz seemed a little odd, and quite Moleish. I guarantee she was telling everyone before the quiz that she was planning on throwing in the towel, just so it would be this gigantic shock when she didn't.
I still say she's the Mole.

Hey, everyone! I'm back!
Eh, I figure 'quiting' would be just the kind of overdramatic thing Nicole would do. In fact, this kind of drama is almost expected of her by now. But I'm sure we all know that she is much too proud to quit under any circumstance. In any case, why would the mole consider even saying he/she is going to quit?
a) They can't go through with it anyways, so there is no point.
b) 'Considering' flunking the quiz and then not doing it just seems. . . well, suspicious.
Oh, and personally I think Nicole was telling the truth when she said, "When I sat down at the computer, I knew I couldn't do it." I say this because the result was a tie, and Clay got eliminated.
Now, if you're planning on purposely failing, all you would have to do is enter yourself as the mole in every question of the quiz, which is guaranteed to give you a zero. However there was a tie, which indicates that if Nicole had indeed flunked the test with a 0/10, someone else must have too. It is virtually impossible to get every question wrong by accident, considering many of the questions from this particular quiz had some very one-sided questions (Is the mole Male/Female- There is only one female. Did the mole wear a hat?- Only one person was wearing a hat, etc).
This indicates that in order for there to have been a tie, someone else (namely Clay), must have flunked the test on purpose. And. . . there is no evidence to support that he did.
One last point I think has to be made, these producers are clever. And sneaky. If you go back to previous season's clues, you find that all of them are obvious, but subtle (The apple, the boat painting- they're meanings are obvious now, but then they were easy to overlook). So I think way too much effort is being put into a lot of these analyses.
But don't let that stop any of you. There are a lot of very interesting theories floating around; I'm actually doubting my assumptions that it is Mark.
But not quite.

If Mark is the mole why would he do so much during the vineyard visit in ep 6 to keep running like mad on the treadmill so that the runners had time to return with the wine bottles? And why would he help the puzzle solvers so much to get the right answers? In both instances he could have done a lot to prevent the team from winning the 70,000? Just goes to show he ain't the mole.
molehunter:
I definitely think Craig is the mole & Mark is NOT the mole.
I have a question though, I read through the pages, well read the first five or so & skimmed the rest, there are alot.
was there ever any discussion about the numbers that appear on The Mole thing when it goes to a commercial? the letters seem to always be different, but if you go frame by frame you see the numbers are always [the ones I've looked at, at least] are:
4 2 4 2 4
a clue maybe?
