So that's it. From my perspective it's a 50/50 guess. I don't know about anyone else but if Paul was The Mole he would have to have the biggest set of balls in the world to be so vocal and in everyone's face all of the time. That leaves me with one option only.
The Mole is CLAY!
Thoughts?
I hate to post so much, but I'll say it. [standing] My name is Molecule and I'm a Mole addict. Now that that's outta the way....
I just went back to the journal and lo and behold, I think I just put Paul at the top of my list! Here's why:
- "Taxis are cheap when you're paying Pesos."
Where else in the U.S. does one frequently take a taxi that's expensive (besides San Francisco)? NEW YORK!
- "Now which little piggy went to market?"
This could infer that the Mole stayed behind to catch pigs....
- "Those kids really ran us all over the field...."
Again, Nightstalker's deduction that the Mole was on the goal oriented team.
- "If only the Chilean blankets were a little bigger." And, "Dear Liz, ... i really didn't have to lift a finger. Thanks for making my life so easy!"
Sounds like a sarcastic remark only Paul would make doesn't it? The blanket comment suggests it came from someone who actually used the blanket. And all of Liz's problems made it easy for him to go unnoticed since everyone would blame her for the missed/broken pigs.
- "Heading down a luge [blindfolded]...."
Still up for debate until we know for sure, but I think the obvious is the obvious and that's why it was edited (bad job ABC!). He still lost a little money by getting the last two fruits out of sequence so one could say it was a small sabotage.
- "Well at least Ali didn't have to wheel you out on a wheelbarrow."
Paul was the only one who slammed Bobby for this.
Many don't want to believe Paul is the Mole because it doesn't fit the mold of previous seasons, but perhaps thay decided to change things up a bit and go with someone completely over the top. If so, I believe the journal points to him if anyone. Of course, if the journal isn't purposefully misleading!
Now to add a little more if I may?
The TITANIC clue everyone picked up on could be correct, but perhaps if points to Paul being that the ship's destination was New York before it met its demise.
Next, the number 11. Maybe it could just be reduced to the number 1? An ODD number as Pearlgirl suggested? New York/Yonkers postal codes begin with 1 of course. On the preview for EP5, Paul has a new journal and its number is 1 (or maybe their original journals were never burned? We'll find out I guess!). I have another theory about 11, but I think they'd be really sad to use it so I'll refrain.
Next, the apple reference that was used in a previous season. Jon bit into an apple that Bobby was convinced referred to The Big Apple. Well, wouldn't it be dumb to presume that they would use this clue AGAIN? Maybe. Or maybe not! Maybe they figured we'd all dismiss it for obvious reasons.
Finally, Pisco Sours, made from lime or LEMON juice. Paul's little mascot, Lemonhead? Enuf said.
I'd hate for the Mole to be Paul only 'cuz I can't stand the guy, but maybe that's how they expect everyone to react.
