The Mole 5.0 *Ongoing Clue Analysis and Challenge Discussions*

Welcome to this weeks episode of:
GUESS THE OUTCOME
Tonight we find our mole hunters in the difficult position of having to solve a puzzle in 60 minutes in order to defuse a bomb and keep it from blowing $50,000 to smithereens.
The video which puddin linked for us in the episode 9 video thread shows that our trio have found what they think to be the correct answer and with less than one minute left head to the bomb to cut the proper wire and save their money.
They have the wire.......wire cutters are in place.......time ticking down......ready to cut........but of course a problem ensues. They start to chatter and wonder if the wire is the correct one, etc. Ohhhhh, the tension. All that money on the line. Cut the wire and the mole was unsuccessful. The three of the are seen in what appears to be a happy moment of celebration. Yeaaaa molehunters. But does it happen?
The sneek peek video released on ABC also shows the bomb defusing mission also. Toward the end we hear the bomb ticking.....then ticking even faster......just like in the movies when with 1 or 2 seconds left the hero triumphs and deactivates the bomb saving dozens of schoolchildren or a busload of cheerleaders.
But I wonder if it happens. So I am going to try and GUESS THE OUTCOME.
The celebratory pose the three are in says to me that they succeed in stopping the bomb in time. Jon walks in and tells the group: "Congratulations, you have successfully defused the bomb". A moment of silence from him to let the players look happy.......and then......."but we have a problem". "During the mission, there was interference with the timekeeping device. The second hand was prevented from moving for 6 seconds, and since you cut the wire with only 2 seconds remaining, you were actually 4 seconds late and the bomb should have detonated. Therefore, you are penalized 4 seconds and DO NOT win any money for the pot".
All this probably does not happen but I am posting it for 2 reasons. First, I like this outcome better than if they succeed and win the money. Second, in the video on ABC Craig walks over and stops the clock from moving.
You can see Nicole standing by the board working on the solution, Mark is back by the blue wall, and Craig apparently walks over to the clock to see how much time they have left. He grabs the second hand and it quits moving but you can't tell how long he holds it because the shot cuts away.
I like surprises so I am guessing this outcome. Anyone else want to play and take a shot at it?

One more post. I can't stand Nicole so I hate to toss anything her way but what the heck.
Notice anything strange about this picture from last weeks episode?
The room Mark is in is located in Mendoza and was used for confessionals at the end of episode 4 and most of episode 5. Those were the only episodes we seen this room until now. During episode 5 Mark has confessionals in this room that were shown during the All for One mission. He had been talking about whether he could trust Nicole and if she might take the exemption from the cage if they let her get unchained.
During this confessional in episode 8 his words were: "Nicole could either be the mole or a great manipulator of the game. If she is here tomorrow you just have to watch out for her".
I'm sure he said this while talking about her and the chain mission, but this particular comment wasn't shown until toward the end of the show last week. My question is WHY? Why show that particular comment now, three episodes later? Was there nothing similar said now that could have been used? Since it was shown just before the final 4 took the quiz is it meant to foreshadow that she is the winner since she is "still here tomorrow"? Or is it meant to foreshadow that she is the mole? I doubt that last one but I am thinking the winner thing could be a possibility.

Vermicious KNIDWikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source
Vermicious knids are a fictional species of amorphous, shape-shifting monsters that invade the Space Hotel USA in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They are also mentioned in the 1971 feature film adaptation, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, except on this occasion they are referred to as being one of the species that inhabits Loompaland.
Description
In their natural form, vermicious knids are huge, dark, egg-shaped beings that are quite at home in the vacuum of space. They attack space vessels by ramming them, pointy-end first. Their homeworld is the planet Vermes.
Their one weak point is that they are show-offs; they cannot resist shaping themselves to spell the one word they know how to spell--SCRAM--before they attack.-----------------------
