So, did anyone watch this yet? With the Olympics, it is pretty hard to stay caught up (so I am going to be putting some stuff in spoiler tags), but my wife and I managed to work it in. I really could see evidence for any of the three to be The Mole but it turned out to be

Spoiler

Craig

and

Spoiler

Mark

won the money.

Looking back, I think the producers figured that having someone win closer to $500k was better for viewers than around $200k like past seasons and in reality would not add much to the total cost of the show, so they actually did not have the Mole mess up as many of the challenges.

I liked the looks back at everything and it really sucks that Paul knew from day one yet lost on a tie by 4 seconds. The winner actually almost went home 4 or 5 times and did not get the Mole until an educated guess on the final quiz.

"Dumb Luck" Mark fooled everyone. Players and viewers alike thought Mark knew all of the answers. :lol:

Interestingly enough, Mark's strategy prevailed .. even though it was an unintentional strategy. He simply got enough people looking the same direction as him to out Quiz them .. Lucky guy.

And I knew it was Craig .. But Craig was an excellent Mole choice He played the part well.

Yes he was Doug. How bad must Paul feel for knowing he had been onto him the whole time and missed out on the finale by four seconds to his arch-enemy in Nicole?
Mark must be part Irish or something to be that lucky as to have escaped on what three quizzes? Congrats to him though for winning it all.

Agreed! Craig was always my first choice but think it really gave it away when he was EVACed out for a while. Had he been a true contestant, the producers would have shipped him out.

Can you imagine how scared the producers must have been when Craig was sick? They could have lost the entire show if he didn't get better. Like he said during the finale, the people on set who knew he was the Mole must have had some pretty worried looks on their faces.

Yeah I got it right!!!!

I suspect the producers would have just chosen someone else.

I suspect the producers would have just chosen someone else.

I bet that would have made it even more interesting. Tell the comeptitors that Craig was the Mole and that now, the new Mole is one...of...you!
