Welcome to this week's edition of the State of the Spoiling, your one-stop shopping for Moleron clues, spoilers, and speculation. Here's a link's to last week's SOTS.
Episode Information
Episode 2:
TiVO description - Quick episode 2 description.
TV Guide description
Fight Night - Oooh, do our little molerons go at it? And will it be a real fight or a sissy fight? Whatever it is, Kathy Griffin is involved.
And, here's the end of episode Quiz, so keep your eyes open to see what your answers would be. It also lets us know what some of the games will be (like "Underwater Charades").
Episode 3:
TV Guide description in case folks are ready to look ahead.
Press Release - Will Ahmad read their journals out loud? As we already know from Stephen's journal, "there are no rules".
Player Information
"FOMO" stands for FOr MOle. Basically, if you thought Kim Coles was the Mole, you were a KimFOMO. You were also mistaken. Here are some of the FOMO discussions currently going on:
Mole Suspect list - See who your fellow posters think are the most likely suspects and why. Don't be shy - post your own list and logic too. How can you brag at the end if you don't let folks know now?
Michael Boatman discussions:
Did Jims crack the code in the Opening Credits and reveal Michael as our Mole? Or is it just coincidence that the last letter that materializes for each player in the opening credits, when put together and unscrambled, spells BOATMAN??? IMHO, this is a major spoiler, since last season, there were a couple of clues tucked into the show's opening that revealed Bill was the Mole.
ABC Website - Looks like Michael is pointing at the word "Mole". Is he trying to tell us something about himself?
Any significance to the helmet color during the first game, or the helicopter shot in the opening credits or are the MichaelFOMOs just going overboard now?
And did ABC really show a commercial last night during Alias that included all of the players except Michael, or was I hazy from drooling over Vaughn during Alias and just missed him?
Kathy Griffin discussions:
Multiple articles that could mean she's not around for long...or that, as the Mole, she's trying to misdirect the audience in addition to her fellow players.
Frederique discussions:
Sheep Sabotage?
And what would be a Mole player discussion without a look at the bags? Is there any significance to the fact that they focused in on Michael, Kim, and Kathy's? Or were they just giving us a quick clue to say our goodbyes to Kim while we could?
Previous Episode Information
Naughtykittysara was nice enough to start a spot to summarize Episode 1 Clues
State of the Episode - This was a real-time, play-by-play account of the game as it unfolded.
Fun stuff
Each week, we'll have a voting thread, where you can vote for the next eliminee. I'll update this post with a link once this week's has been started. (and I'll do a better job of locking the old one once the episode is done next time)
Don't miss survivorscott's deliciously funny summary of the first episode.
It's not too late to join two fun games on the General Discussion forum, PTTE (picks to the end) and Anti-Executee. For those already playing, there's still plenty of time to move up or down in the standings, so keep those entries updated. Just remember, don't include spoiler/speculation information in your entries, since those are on the General Discussion board.
We also have the first Popularity Poll of the season set up on the General Discussion forum, and the discussion is already lively.
And pre-show, here's what we all thought would happen - elimination order, who would win, and who was our Mole. Who will get bragging rights?

Me? The Mole? Ya think? Well, the amazing Jims hasn't cracked the code on me yet, so I wouldn't count on it.
