samboohoo 17075 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-11-08, 12:07 PM (EST) "Mole Questions - Help" I am a new Mole watcher. I am getting the hang of it and liking it, but I'm slightly confused on a few things, and I can't find a FAQ page anywhere. I'll start with these two: 1. How exactly does someone win the game? 2. Does the Mole *have to* sabotage every challenge? Or can he/she actually try not to sabotage in order to defer to someone else who might be bluffing? Tribe is pushing up my daisies!   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The Mole doesn't *have* to do anything. He/she is fed information by the producers that can be used to sabotage, etc.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Mole Questions - Help" I'm glad you started this thread, because I have a question too: does the mole get the money they DON'T earn? For some reason I was thinking he/she did, but I haven't acutally heard that so I thought maybe my brain just made it up.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Mole Questions - Help" No, the Mole gets a flat fee paid for by the producers of the show. Although that would be great incentive!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

DebCapsFan 2747 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 06-11-08, 12:41 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Mole Questions - Help" Hey *waves* welcome to the Mole. The person who answers the most questions correctly on the final quiz (who isn't the Mole)is the winner. The final quiz is taken by three players. One player is the winner, one player is the runner up, and one player is the Mole. The Mole doesn't *have* to do anything. Sometimes people pretending to be the Mole to throw the others off will sabotage a game. Other times, people biker so much the Mole doesn't have to do anything. Sometimes, a player genuinely makes a mistake. It happens.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

cipher5150 166 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 06-11-08, 01:44 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Mole Questions - Help" I would add that the final quiz, if memory serves, is quite hard and detailed – along the lines of “When you first met the mole twenty days ago what color shirt was he/she wearing?” So it is possible to know who the mole is and still lose the final quiz, which is why good note taking is very important.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

popeave 433 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 06-11-08, 02:03 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Mole Questions - Help" The quiz strategy seems to change over the course of the show. In the first few episodes, it's probably pretty tough for the contestants to have figured out yet who the mole is, so the main thing to do on the quiz is go with majority answers (if there's a choice between a group of two and a group of nine, choose the group of nine) and be fast. Speed counts as a tiebreaker on the quiz. As the show progresses, the contestants begin to have a better idea of who the mole is, so the attention to detail becomes so much more important. The final quiz is a real killer, so those notes can make a big difference.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

So the one with the photogenic memory will do well? Thanks I'm a new molster as well and am just keeping my head above water.

Estee 55194 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 06-11-08, 02:28 PM (EST) 8. "The art of undercutting." The Mole can't sabotage every task for one reason: the show wants to give some money away to the winner. (A total pot of $0.00 isn't very exciting for anyone.) So there are times when the Mole will be actively participating in a task -- with the occasional attempt to make things just a little bit harder than they have to be. But -- as you've seen, other contestants will try to look like the Mole, and that means they'll occasionally try to sabotage assignments, hoping the others will save them or not really caring about the money from this one. And inevitably, if that keeps up, they will try to do so on a task where the producers want the team to rack up a win. So there are times when the way to spot the Mole is 's/he's the determined one running around like a lunatic trying to make everything work out'. Poor, poor Mole... You don't have to fake out other people in order to win: you just have to be more right than they were on the quiz (and faster, in case of ties). Faking out can help -- but it's not mandatory. Because the game is essentially a meritocracy, it's also one of the few where it's possible to score a 'clean' win: offend no one, think hard, look closely, take home the cash and make a lot of friends along the way. No one said that was likely, but it's at least possible.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Lasann 3616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 07-02-08, 06:37 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Mole Questions - Help" Reading this helped me. But I still so confused as to who could be the mole. So some contestants are just aholes for the fun of it. *boggle* Wait it just came to me. Wait for it. . . They could be aholes to confuse the others into thinking they are the mole thereby helping to secure their quiz answers. Got it. I'm not liking this show to the standard of Survivor and Big Brother. For some reason the edit isn't leaving me with any idea who these people are nor do I know one name at this point. Heaven on Earth! That’s me lying on the beach *giggle*   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
