The Mole 6/9- I'm Gonna Kill You In Your Sleep

Previously on The Mole, people bickered at and about each other and the players did kind of miserably and Marcie was executed. Paul is a little lost because his alliance mate was executed. Liz is upset Nicole doesn’t know manners. Craig makes a funny.

Jon introduces us to our location in Santiago and welcomes Nicole back to the group, and people immediately begin to insult her. Jon introduces the challenge and divides the group. It’s a race, with Mark and Kristen tandem-biking up a mountain racing the rest of the group in a gondola, but the other group has to play a game of soccer first. If Mark and Kristen make it up first, they’re both exempt, but if they lose, $35,000 into the pot. The team are all very confident in themselves in their soccer abilities, but they are schooled. By a bunch of Chilean kids. It’s all kind of embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Mark and Kristen are having technical difficulties with their bike; the chain keeps falling off. So they decide to run up the hill and carry the bike. Bobby is a weakling and almost collapses on the field. It’s also kind of embarrassing. Craig accidentally scores a goal on his own team. The team expends their entire twenty minutes of play, but Ali scores a goal on the team’s second penalty kick. The team then has to run to the Gondola station and they absolutely fall apart, because no one can communicate with one another.

The team is still disintegrating, but they start to pull it together. The bike team is making steady progress, but Mark is bitching. Jon interrupts their trek and offers them a cab for $5,000 from the pot. Mark rudely turns him down. It seems pretty close, but the gondola team gets there first. Or so Jon tricks them into thinking, because Mark and Kristen actually got there first. Victoria is on a little rampage, but Paul is the one who decides to go a little crazy, unloading on Bobby, which angers Victoria. Nicole, unhappy if she’s not the bitchiest one, confessionals that she’s happy everyone else is unhappy. At an impromptu group meeting, Paul continues to be a douchebag, and this time Victoria is his target. Paul is happy to further fracture the team.

The next day, the team is taken to the Chilean countryside, and apparently, the smell is hideous. The team is doing something with pigs. There are 50 piggy banks hidden around a town. The team splits up into 3 groups of 3 and a group of two. The groups of 3 search for the pigs and the group of two has to catch them after they are fired from a slingshot. Jon makes a bunch of really bad puns and puts a special emphasis on them, so we hear just how bad they are. The teams go off to search for pigs and Bobby again proves completely useless, needing Kristen to push him in a wheelbarrow. Bobby is also useless in language skills and basically his team is making no progress. Alex’s fluency is really helpful though, and Bobby seems really obvious in his sabotage of this task. Alex pulls his team back to the slingshot, as does Mark, leaving only the ineffectual group of Craig/Bobby/Kristen in town. Paul has a feeling about an exemption in one of the pigs.

After the break, it turns out Paul is right, and the douchebag is exempt. Liz wishes she had wrestled it out of his hands. The first team back starts to sling them, but Liz and Paul can’t catch them. Craig takes over though, and Liz and Paul start to catch them. Alex is a control freak on the slingshot and won’t let anyone else play with it. The teams all reveal how badly they screwed up. Bobby reveals his wheelbarrow escapade and Paul is, of course, angry with Bobby. The team gets 28 pigs total, which brings the pot tally for this episode to… $28,000. Alex leaves his journal in Bobby and Craig’s room, and Bobby and Craig read it, but it proves no use to them. Alex then backs up their claims of “idiot” by playing an incredibly dumb song about mole hunting on something that looks kind of like a dulcimer.

The team goes to dinner with Jon, and everyone is worried about Mark, Kristen, and Paul’s exemptions. All the non-exempt players have to take the quiz. My suspicions are still on Kristen. I’m still not sure why, but she just seems moley to me. Ali suspects Alex. Craig suspects Mark. Alex suspects Nicole. Nicole suspects Bobby. Jon gathers the group in front of a big cemetery and begins the execution. Clay is first, and he’s safe. Alex is next, and he’s safe too. Victoria is third, and she’s also safe. Bobby’s next, and he’s safe too. Liz, however, is not, and Jon executes her. Liz loved the experience, and the others all had fond recollections of her. Paul, however, needs to continue to be a douchebag, and says Nicole and Bobby should have gone home instead. Bobby tells Paul he’s not classy, and Nicole tells Bobby that she’s gonna kill him while he sleeps and leave no forensic evidence. God bless her.

Net time on The Mole, everyone gets naked, Paul continues to be an ass, and confrontations abound.
