2. Were you allowed to tell your employers specifically what you were going to be doing?

3. Does the editing for TV ruin the true image of what the game was actually like?

Hope none of these were covered in the previous thread. I didn't see 'em, but that means nothing.

Was the "Mole Killer" that Bribs brought with him something he really found at home or do you think he went out and bought it and showed it to everyone just to make him look suspicious? Did any of you have similar ideas?

Who do you think was a better Mole -- Bill, Kathryn or Fred Savage?

10. "RE: Questions for Mole 2 contestants -- Part 2"
Allo!

1. What was the application and selection process like? Were you surprised to get callbacks?

Just sent in a videotape and waited for a call (which I wasn't expecting). I was surprised by the first call that they were interested in me at all. I had a follow-up telephone interview that I taped and sent in to them and then they flew me out to LA for the final round. When I was flown out to LA, I thought I would make it. Little did I know -- they flew out a whole bunch more people than I thought they had. So, I was overconfident for no reason!

2. Were you allowed to tell your employers specifically what you were going to be doing?

We were allowed to tell our bosses or those who would need to give us permission to leave. But it was a huge secret.

3. Does the editing for TV ruin the true image of what the game was actually like?

I don't think it's the editing as much as the fact that you guys don't get to see the "true game." The true game occurs between shots. Watching and listening to your fellow players during the down time, interacting with everyone during the boring times, THAT is when the game is really played. The best examples I can give are (1) on the first day I got in a van with Dorothy and asked her if she was the mole; I thought she was taken aback by the question and unprepared for it (since she was the mole), but it turns out she did that on purpose; she was one of my main suspects because of that, (2) after each person took the quiz, we would gather in a room and wait for the next person to leave the quiz; we would talk about the quiz and other things; this is where I told Dorothy she would make a good mole because she didn't give out extra info (I totally forgot about it until Dorothy brought it up at the reunion).

The games didn't tell you much because we knew that would be the best time for people to draw attention to themselves and make others think they were the mole. I don't think anyone put too much stock in mole-like behavior during the games.

Thanks so much for your answers, Darwin. If you don't mind, there's one more I forgot to ask, and this one was actually specifically for you.

Was there any point in the game where you missed your wife so badly, that you seriously considered tanking the quiz so you could go home?

15. "RE: Questions for Mole 2 contestants -- Part 2"
Absolutely not.

Look, we were only away from our families for like 3 weeks or so (except for Dorothy). Sure, I missed my wife, but I went there to win. There was no way I would lose focus on what I was doing just because I hadn't seen my wife for a few weeks. It's very hard to explain, but (and I can only speak for myself) I was so focused on one thing that I didn't think about being homesick too much. Now, I would get worried every once in awhile because Lindsay was prego and I wasn't around and I didn't want anything to happen and have me be away where I couldn't help, but it never crossed my mind once to throw the quiz because I was homesick.

We all thought that Al would have left if his wife had come instead of his sister and he didn't get to see her, though. We thought he would have walked right off and said, "Screw the show, where's my wife?"

Al? Would you have?

Darwin,

I'm not sure if this has been asked but would you have taken the bribe that Elavia did and left the game with $50,000? It seems like a no brainer, although you would have missed out on some of the game experience by doing that.

Also, was Elavia really unpopular or did people just think she was the Mole and voted for her on that basis?

Have you gotten together with Elavia in the city since then?

"I'm not sure if this has been asked but would you have taken the bribe that Elavia did and left the game with $50,000? It seems like a no brainer, although you would have missed out on some of the game experience by doing that."

No way. Think of it this way: She left on the 7th episode. So, at that point you would have been competing with 6 other people for a really large amount of money. How often do you get a one-in-six shot at $636,000? Besides, don't look at it as $50,000. Look at it as $50,000 minus the amount of money they would pay you for making it that far. And don't forget the cost of all the things you get to do if you stay and the experience, etc.

"Also, was Elavia really unpopular or did people just think she was the Mole and voted for her on that basis?"

Elavia was NOT disliked or even unpopular. She was just mysterious. I think she unnerved a lot of people since no one could get a handle on her. She played the game well, so I think that's why she got picked as least liked. And only like 3 people picked her least liked, by the way.

"Have you gotten together with Elavia in the city since then?"

No. We weren't allowed to see each other until the final ep aired. But we saw each other in Vegas and I'm sure we'll meet up at some point in the city.

I didn't see you (from what they showed on TV obviously) as the type of person who'd want to do that, but I did wonder how the fact that your wife was pregnant played into that.

Thanks again, Darwin. You rock.

Darwin, I would have left. Not because I missed my wife but because I didn't like that game to begin with and not seeing her would have pissed me off (imagine that!). I told the producers,who knew I was upset,that I thought it was a crappy attempt to manufacture emotions at the expense of the players solely for the purpose of generating better ratings. I told them our emotions should come naturally and not be forced-reality tv,remember? That's why immediately after the game was over you didn't see Katie,Dorothy and I standing together. I told the girls to spread out because I didn't want to give the producers the satisfaction of getting "an emotional losers shot" for the show.(that came off angry,didn't it?)

26. "RE: Questions for Mole 2 contestants -- Part 2"
I agree. But you knew they would have one of those games going into it. Remember in the first season, they did the same thing (although they did let everyone see their loved one). Survivor did the same thing. It's a reality show staple.

As for manufacturing emotion, I agree. But hell, that's what the whole damn thing was about. From the "Burn Bags Burn" game all the way through, they were trying to manipulate our feelings to get a response. That's why there were three exemptions that one time. That's why Katie was such a focus of the show. That's why they design executions to be as stressful as they are. In my opinion it's all the same -- the only difference being degree.

That said, I think flying a loved one out and waving them in front of the players as bait for an emotional response is stretching it.

You would have been the man if you walked off. But I bet your wife would have kicked your ass if you had.

That just reminded me -- what were each of your thoughts about the "Bag Burning" thing?

Did any of you REALLY believe that they'd burned all your stuff? If I remember, Heather and Katie seemed quite effected, but I can't recall the rest of us or how legit Heather or
Katie's worries were.

Good for you! I don't think the majority of viewers want to see all that tortured anguish stuff either. We want intelligent games...that is why whe like 'intelligent reality tv'! If you want manufactured emotions watch a soap-opera.

BTW, you don't sound angry, just honest.

3. "Thank You"
First, I wanted to thank you for patiently answering our questions

1) What was Anderson like? I've said for a while that he seems like the only host on TV that actually hangs out with contestants.

2) Were there any challenges that you wished you were in??? (I would have loved to be in Gladiator, but Gnome Home was great too!)

3) Did you get any sort of "jet lag" from travelling to Switzerland? I would imagine that everyone's eating/sleep schedules would be out of whack...

4) Would you want to be the Mole? Do you think you'd do a good job?

Thanks for reading

*wondering what's with all the smilies lately*

Since Heather and Al have disappeared and since I'm having so much fun being a blabbermouth, I'll answer this one too.

>1) What was Anderson like?
>I've said for a while

>actually hangs out with contestants.
>
Anderson is the best. He made everyone feel really comfortable. Right before the dam game his lead-in was something like "If you will all follow me, I'll show you blah blah blah, yada yada." Well, this was right after the third execution and we were all still a little nervous. On the first take he goes through his lines and finishes with: "And if you'll all walk this way..." Then he proceeds to do the funniest walk and we started cracking up and doing the same thing. It was right out of Young Frankenstein. Hilarious. The director gets on the bullhorn and says, "Uh, that was great Anderson, but let's try it again without the comedy." He was a cool guy too. Hell, they were all pretty damn cool.

There were a hundred such stories involving Anderson. He's a funny, genuine guy. He said call me and we'll do lunch when we get back to NYC and even though he was doing Paula Zahn's morning show and covering for Connie Chung before she started and was dead tired and super busy, he met me for lunch after he finished taping the morning show and before he started taping the next one. I can't imagine anyone else hosting the show.

>2) Were there any challenges that

>to be in Gladiator, but
>Gnome Home was great too!)
>
Hell yeah there were challenges I wished I was involved in! I wanted to do the jail game and the evader game. Those were the types of games I thought we would be playing all the time. I was actually very disappointed that they dumbed the games down (or so it seemed to me) to make the show appeal to a wider audience.

>3) Did you get any sort

Yes. We were jet-lagged, but we were also very excited to get started. So, I think it balanced out. Besides, we didn't get started right away. Some arrived earlier than others and had to wait. I got there two days before and was locked in my room. No interaction before that blindfold came off. I was bored to tears because Swiss tv is like the cheese -- a little pungent and full of holes.
>
>4) Would you want to be

>

I REALLY wanted to be the mole. The producer said I was second in line for the job. Damn. Bill did a great job, though. I would have played the game the same way, making lots of coalitions; the only difference would be that I'd be TRYING to get people executed instead of doing it by accident.

...while we're on the topic, I"m still curious about how the alleged "Deep Mole" source went over at the time.

I'm sure "laughing for days" will likely be part of the answer (assuming anyone was bothering to follow the boards back last fall.)

6. "RE: Questions for anyone"
1. Was it hard to get back to normal life after the show, especially with the canceling and all?

2. Why did you chose Elavia as the least liked player? Maybe cuz you all thought she was the mole? She was in my top 3 favorite players (no offense) along with Al and Dorothy. (where are you Dorothy and Elavia??)

3. How much time did you guys really get to hang out and enjoy where you were and everything? I hope you weren't strictly focused on the game all time.

4. How much sleep did you guys get per night?

5. Most importantly, would you go back and do it again if you had the chance?

I know you have tons of questions to answer so please take your time. Thanks so much. Dorothy and Elavia are you out there? lol.

Easy. Check out the following two threads on a different board:

http://www.realitytvplanet.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1879

http://www.realitytvplanet.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1898

This guy was a complete idiot. A friend of mine pointed his "theories" out to me (as did someone at Stone/Stanley) and I couldn't believe the garbage he was pulling out of his *ss. The funniest thing about the posts was that he acted like everything he was saying was fact. How anyone could attempt to rationalize intelligently with that lunatic is beyond me. One of my friend posted a response to his "French Connection" theory I thought was pretty funny.

Wow, I know it's easy to say now, but I'm pretty sure if that first thread had popped up here it'd have been locked by the second posting. And the chicken sandwich part is just insane, what a freak.

I was laughing quite a bit reading this part though, pretty funny "friend" you have:

Just imagine Anderson trying to explain your interpretation of this "clue" in the last episode. I can hear it now.
Cooper: "I was eating a chicken sandwich. If you spoke French, you may or may not know that the seldom-used word 'chauve' not only means 'bald person' but in some people's minds (well, one at least), it also means 'chicken.' There's your first connection.

Darwin, oh yeah, and Patrick (but ignore him, he's not muslim...although, neither is Darwin, but he's black, so he could be) are bald. But only Darwin speaks French. Well...he doesn't really speak French. We told him to put that down on his application. No attorney in his field would know French. Zut Alors!

Now, take 'sandwich.' No, just take 'sand.' Throw out the 'wich.' Never mind that (according to AltaVista's translator) the French word for 'sandwich' is 'sandwich'; our viewers can't expect these clues to be 100% precise. 'Sand,' as all those francophones watching know, is English for the French word, 'sable.' And sables are of course small, furry mammals. If you squint really hard, they look just like moles! And there you have the final connection. Bald mole.

Congratulations to all one of you out there who figured out this simplest of clues.

And to think the strangest thing we came up with over here was the 'tape on the bag'. Although I really did believe I saw Al's face in the Christopher Columbus mural. **cheeks reddening with embarrassment**

PS. Darwin I was SO sure you were the winner.

Welcome, Heather, Darwin and Al. It is really great that you have decided to post some answers here on this board. We hope you will come back and talk to us some more.

I want to know if any of you plan on going back to any of the places you visited during the filming of the Mole so you can share them with your families?

Also, what was your favorite or most memorable dinner or restaurant?

Silvergirl

Wow - leave for a couple of days and you come back having missed the party!!

Greetings to any and all Molees. Just about every question has been asked that I can think of. So, just an observation relating to Heather. Girl, I was just about convinced you were the Mole until the end. Actually, it was as much hope as well reasoned. I just didn't like the way the show "gave away" Bill with the hidden clues. I chose to overlook them because I just didn't believe they'd be that obvious.

My evidence that you were the Mole? Just a few of the obvious ones where you did things to lose money - in fact it seemed along the way you were responsible for losing more than Bill. But, my BIG clue for me near the end - the Sweet Potato shirt. It's one of those things I'll never forget - putting my theory out there and it was just flat out wrong and stupid. (If you weren't aware - there's a species of Mole in Africa that eats sweet potatos.)

So, even though you weren't the Mole you were very entertaining and I appreciated your passion throughout.

Al - I like you alot also - I'm a real sucker for family oriented people. Even though there was a week where I thought you might be the Mole and I thought maybe the fam was a fabrication, obviously I was wrong. Anyone who can unashamedly exhibit emotion when looking at a family pic is tops in my book.

Darwin - Early on I thought you were going to win it. You were very entertaining and I was really disappointed when the red screen came up.

Thanks to all of you for participating here.

*big bear hug to Heather, Al & Darwin* - you guys are the greatest. It is really an honor to "talk" to you since you are celebrities (at least to me).

Darwin, I was just wondering if when you were posting under an alias, did you ever give us any hints, clues, etc that we had not already gotten on our own? I understand if you can't be specific. Ever try to throw us off track? Ever try to tell us how great you thought Darwin was?

Ha. No. I never gave anything away (not even hints) to anyone at any time. I did make fun of some of the players, including myself, but that's what I love about these boards. When you guys get me good it really makes me laugh. Some of the pimple comments were priceless.

Did any of you see anything during the game that you thought was a secret, hidden clue to the mole's identity planted by the producers. While most were probably hidden from you, the one that Bill said he thought was pretty obvious (and seemed to be to me once someone point out Bill's last name) was the dinner from McD's, but the use of dollar bills was also there. Then there were little things that could have pointed to others -- the Don Ho song might have looked like it were for Dorothy's initials. Did you guys look for this stuff and come up with any red herrings, or just try to read each other?

I really appreciatee you answering our questions! OK, you officially move up my list. Would you mind answering a few for me?

1. What are the mechanics of the quiz? How is the order in which you take the quiz decided, can you answer the questions in any order you want, can you change your answers, and can you use your journal during the quiz?


2. Who were you voting for when you were executed? I don't think this was ever made clear.

3. How clique-y was the group during downtime? Were there any people who just plain didn't like each other?

4. Did you get to keep the bunny suit?

27. "RE: Thanks, Darwin"
I give, I give and I give.

>1. What are the mechanics
>of the quiz?

Early on we took them two at a time. I think later when there weren't as many people, it was just one at a time. We were separated from the group and taken to the computer. They timed the quiz and would let you know how long you took right after.

>How is the order in which
>you take the quiz decided

Alphabetically. If Al went first the first week, he would go last the next. And so on.

>can you answer the questions
>in any order you want

Nope.

>can you change your answers

Nope.

>and can you use your
>journal during the quiz?

No way.

>2. Who were you voting
>for when you were executed?
> I don't think this
>was ever made clear.

The previous quiz I had split my answers between Heather and Dorothy. I had given a lot of answers to Dorothy and very few to Heather, so I was convinced it was Heather. I gave Heather the lion's share of my answers on the quiz the night I left, instead of splitting my answers more evenly again amongst my top suspects, like I had been doing from the beginning.

>3. How clique-y was the
>group during downtime?

Not that much. Obviously some people got along better with others, but I think everyone got along pretty well. I think there may have been slight cliques by age, but you tend to gravitate to people who share a common experience.

Were there any people who just
>plain didn't like each other?

I don't think so. Patrick and I had our differences, as did Al and Katie, but I don't think there was any real animosity between any two players. The editors probably could have made it look like there was if they chose to, but I think they did a remarkable job in keeping it an honest, tasteful show. If they show 5 seconds of an argument (like the one between me and Al), you guys tend to blow it way out of proportion because that's the only part of the argument you see. Because there's only so much time to show things and because it's probably just not fun to watch, you don't see when Al and I quietly talked about why he thought this or why I thought that.
>
>4. Did you get to
>keep the bunny suit?

It was offered. I declined. I did keep one of the empty bottles of LaMole wine and some other stuff, though.

Darwin, what was the ballpark scope of the quiz times??

Are we talking a matter of a minute or two or did folks on average take 20-25 minutes? And did you all have to hang out in the same room waiting for everyone else to take the quiz?

And would that mean that everyone knew exactly how long everyone else took to do the quiz? And if so, was that info at all useful?

Thanks for the compound answers, LOL...

34. "More questions for Darwin"
They keep popping up. Man, we are the luckiest reality show watchers ever! I bow humbly again and beg for your mercy.

1. Did it strike anyone weirdly that the Mole's telegram was addressed to you? Did you think it was funny? Did it make anyone in the group suspicious of you?

2. I don't know if you followed the quiz analyses that we did on the thread. Looking back at the quizzes, do you think they were biased in favor of certain contestants? Dorothy, for example, had several questions that for her were "free" questions - that essentially asked "Is Dorothy the Mole?" Questions like that never appeared for you or several others.

3. Do you have any idea who Myra and Rob were voting for?

Thank you, Darwin, and if I ever get locked up in NYC I'm calling you first!

I just wanted to say Darwin, I had you pegged as the mole. (Hahah, I got grief when you left.) And, even though you weren't really the mole, you did a better job of misleading people than Bill did.

I wanted to ask why didn't you suspect Bill when he didn't get kicked off and all of your other coallition partners did? ((Sorry if this was asked, I tried to read through all the questions, but I may have skipped it.)

Thanks, Darwin!

Hi Darwin!

I had you down as the winner before the show even started. You played a great game. Thanks for coming here and spilling the beans for us =)

I watched my tape of episode 6 last night, and one thing that I thought was funny was, during your voiceover on the quiz, you mentioned something about a good strategy for the mole would be to break some small rule, and causing a fine, but trying really hard at the games. They then showed a clip of Heather touching the bike that day, and getting scolded by Anderson. What was funny was that you and Bill did the same thing that day when you bought ice cream when you were not supposed to. Did that incident not raise any "Bill" suspicion in your mind?


And did you guys ever find out who tied on the quiz with Lisa and Myra in the rounds that they got executed?

Thanks again =)

P.S. If someone would send a blown kiss to Elavia, my favourite contestant, that would be appreciated too

38. "New Questions"
Like others have said, thank you Al, Darwin and Heather for answering so many questions. Its much appreciated.

If any of you are still lurking, here's another question:

As I watched on TV, it didn't appear that Bill was ever really playing the game in the sense that he was writing things in his journal or asking other players questions. Was it just editing that made it look that way? If not, did you ever wonder why he continued to stay in the game if he wasn't paying attention? Didn't it frustrate you that he wasn't executed before you (Al and Darwin)? Why did you think he continued to stay in the game so long if you didn't think he was the Mole?

Wow,how quick I am forgoten... Bill took notes as we all did. The editing might have indicated otherwise but he took his fair share. Bill is a really smart guy. Just to listen to him talk about his past experiences with great detail would make one believe that everything he saw or learned during the game was registering. I believed for a long time that he was just on to the mole,not that he was the mole!

Hi Heather,

Based on a couple comments you made, I presume you are a Christian. I was wondering -- what role did your faith play during the game? How did your faith affect your strategy? How did your participation in the game affect your faith?

Hey!

Let me say that Bill had me fooled, I THOUGHT IT WAS AL! HA! Anyway...

Al- When you hear "Tiny Bubble", do you go on a rampage, or have you shooken it off by now.

Heather- What was the cell game (the one where you were in the cell and had to break out) really like, was it acuratly depectied on TV, or was it different in real life.

Darwin- How often do you get stopped on the street or are waited on someone who notices you?

Thanks....

Ok....I have a question for all of you, then one for Al...First of all, I saw Heather's answer to this question, but I'd like to know how disappointing was it when the show got put on hiatus last fall? I fell in love with the show during the first season & hated to see it disappear last year before being brought back this spring. Like a lot of shows, The Mole has a huge cult-type following. And Al, how hard was it to get your heart rate back under control on that high wire? Everyone gave you a hard time with that & I didn't think you deserved it. Also, we have a mole chatroom on MSN that we'd love to see you attend sometime....we actually play an online version of the game....I'm Anderson.....

Hi everyone, I've been lurking a while and this is my first post... they started showing Mole 2 here in Malaysia a few weeks back and the final is next week. Unfortunately I made the mistake of going to the ABC website and obviously discovered the results.

Still, that aside, I love the show. I especially like Bribbs (I think he's yummy), Darwin, Al and Heather (I even had a soft spot for Katie - she was so genuine although a bit overboard at times). Was very sad to see them go one by one. Anyway, if any of you contestants are still lurking around this message board, I just want to say HI and I wish each of you could have won a million dollars, you deserve it!
