Mole catchup

...only 48 hours later.

Bye bye Bobby. You know I loved you, even if I was the only one. When Jon Kelley was like "we will now continue with the execution," though, I cheered out loud. But Jesus Christ, I just want Douchey McYonkers to go, already. If he makes it to the finals I won't be pleased.

Victoria is officially my choice for Mole. There's the green thumbprint clue on her helmet from the first episode that was clearly digitally added, and in this episode we got another clue that could be interpreted as her being the Mole. When they were all getting massages, she was the only one to get a specialty chocolate massage. A famous Chilean chocolate sauce? Mole! Granted, it's pronounced different than the English "mole," but still. If she is the Mole and this turns out to be an actual clue, I'll be so freakin' proud of myself. In addition, Victoria is under the radar, but the teams she's on seem to usually fail in ways that don't blatantly point to her. She makes comments that remind me of the original Moles (I think it was in the last episode where she said something like "The Mole doesn't even have to try, we're getting along so badly" which was like S1 Kathryn's "The Mole wants the team dynamic to break down"). Oh, and her crying after Bobby was executed (notice they were apparently BFFL, and he got kicked off) was incredibly fake. There's also this... hidden away from her family? She probably makes it to at least the top 3.

If the Mole's not Victoria, I think it's Clay. There were clay pigs last episode... okay... A better clue was the fact that he withdrew from the running-around-the-village-in-his-underwear challenge, citing reasons of dignity. Both the civilian Moles did that (Kathryn didn't shave her head, and Bill wouldn't wear a diaper - another clothing challenge). Mole or not, I really like Clay, he's smart and observant and I think he'll go far (watch him get booted next episode).

A lot of people seem to think the Mole is Craig. If this means he sticks around forever, I'll be happy because I love him, but I just don't see it. Yeah, his weight is a hindrance, but he really does try his ass off every episode. IIRC he was the one who fixed the slingshot in the clay pigs challenge

Good for Ali. With this bunch (okay, with Paul), I'd take the money and run too.

I like Nicole more and more every episode as she gets less whiny and more bitchy to, specifically, Paul ("love you!").

The really skinny guy and the really fat guy next to each other = classic comedy that you might roll your eyes at but secretly you know is always funny.

Guesses for now -
Winner: Clay
RU: Mark (it amuses me that I've read multiple posters on multiple boards say he's like Michael Scott)
Mole: Victoria
