"Amount of Money"
Okay, we all know that the game is worth a maximum of $250,000. But through the first three episodes, the group has had a chance at $269,000. (E1- $60, E2- $74, E3- $135)
Any thoughts on anthing about this? Do they perhaps change the values of the games as they go along... sat, the chili peppers may have only been worth 5k if they were doing better, or something like that?

It has always been my impression that they completely make up the rules of the mole as they go along.

2. "RE: Amount of Money"
I think you are on the right track with the adjusted money thing. If the mole is successful in sabotaging the pot, they will offer more money for some new games (or if non-mole idiots like Bernson throw away 25,000 at a pop just to seem suspicious, or is just an A$$hole), if the mole was not, then they will back off on the money amounts.

I think they want the mole to sabotage the pot, but they don't want the pot to be "small". It does not help viewers/ratings to have no money in the mix.

Any other ideas?


It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leaders without question - States: The Bene Gesserit View. All States Are an Abstraction.

I have no idea what rules they are playing with this celebrity edition. But I do remember when they did the first mole they announced at the beginning that if the players won every pot they would have $1 million. So I think the money was figured out in advance. But they also knew that they would never win every pot of cash. And they had it set to double the pot at times. I have no idea if they said this for the second edition. They even offered Elavia money to leave in that one. So who knows?

Maybe they will try and shame the winner into donating their money to charity. I mean they are getting a free Hawaii holiday and what celebs crave most: Attention!

6. "RE: Amount of Money"
its for 500,000
seems like its adding up fast since by the end games to end up worth mole (sorry more) the last two games would have ended at 1M if they won everything (maybe 1M 10k in the mole 2 i think anderson add waiter game (when they had to not spill a drop when they were drunk) well you get the point for the most part it should be about the stated amount)

Yes, most celebrity editions play for charities, but there is a great article that Kathy gave saying that she asked that the celebs get to keep the cash.
