Final
Speculation
Below
is a selection of testimonials from the contestants given throughout
the course of the game. It's not only important to know what the
players said about the mole, but what the mole said about the
others. Hopefully
this will help you in deciding who the mole is, though (let's
be honest) it also might throw you completey off! In any case,
feel free to go back and read the challenges again (if you have
time) and maybe come up with some more theories! Happy hunting!

Week
One (Kidnap Challenge):
Barry:
"Theres no doubt in my mind that Jack Allen is the mole.
Going into the game, I didnt expect the old guy to be a
traitor, but he pretty much proved it today, running us right
into that sandbar and ruining our chances of catching up with
Monica. I tried to grab the wheel from him, but that stubborn
old guy has a lot of strength and I didnt get control in
time to save us. He cost us the game and many of us wont
forget that."
Jack:
"I hate to cast judgment on someone, especially this early into
the game, but I suppose I knew this was expected of me when I
joined the game, so Id say Barry was the most suspicious.
I had us on course and I believe we would have passed that sandbar
without incident, but Mr. Muntz insisted that I was wrong and
got the wheel from me and rammed us right into the sandbar."
Week
Two (Castle Challenge):
Jack:
"This is a very difficult game to play.
I don't like how we've been turned against our own friends. I
don't want to sit her and speculate that Connie could be the mole,
or that Eugene is a traitor, or that Jason is sabotaging challenges.
But one of the eleven left here is doing just that. However, after
watching with my own eyes and listening to stories told by the
other contestants, Jason Whittaker is in fact the one I'm beginning
to believe is planted by the producer. For starters, he penalized
the group $2,000 and then wasn't able to hit any of the targets
in the Castle Challenge. Considering his background, I would think
Jason would have a slightly better shot."
Monica:
"Well my gut tells me that Jason isn't
the mole. Though, maybe I just want to trust him so much. We've
talked it over and decided two heads are going to be better then
one. We've gone over the contestant profiles and things we've
noticed during the competition and both of us agree we have figured
out the mole. I don't want to name names, but she seems to be
flying under the radar so far and my guess is that she hasn't
found an opportunity to sabotage yet."
Eugene:
"Well certainly this is a most challenging
game. I have brought my laptop with me on this expedition and
have compiled a list of traits and characteristics of all my fellow
competitors. After doing a cross reference with known attributes
the producer would be looking for in selecting the infiltrator
positioned among us, I have come to the conclusion the mole can
be none other then Robert Mitchell. His cunning behavior and ability
to manipulate others is a powerful tool to yield in a competition
such as this. However, the data I have assembled does contain
a five percent margin of error."
Week
Three (Water Adventure Challenge):
Eugene(a):
"I am at a loss for words to express my
amazement at attaining this goal and coming in second among the
many here who are more physically fit than I. It still seems nearly
impossible that the incident on the final rapid was resolved in
such a way that I was loosed from the others and was able to finish
the race. It's unfortunate that the others could not have done
likewise. I really couldn't say for sure who the mole is, but
that Mitchell fellow acted as if his crash was not accidental.
Perhaps it was his successful attempt to eliminate several members
from the competition."
Mitch(a):
"Eugene. There's no way that was an accident,
no matter what he says. When I hit that rock and tried to spin
around and get headed the right way again, he came out of nowhere
and slammed into me. He was clearly trying to eliminate me –
and the others."
Jason(a):
"From my vantage point, it looked like Richard
Maxwell could have avoided the big collision but chose not to.
In fact, I think he nudged Monica into it as well. Plus, he just
seems like the mole to me. His action, everything."
Jack(a):
"I don't want to accuse, but it seemed to
me that Margaret purposely lagged behind in the end. She was leading
the group most of the way; after all, she's a lot more fit that
I am. And yet, as we neared the end, she slowed down, then stopped
completely last I saw her. It seems odd that she'd need such long
a rest as to be almost exactly where we had left her ten minutes
before the race ended. Maybe she just was really tired, but I
tend to think she didn't want to earn money for the team."
Jack(b):
"The mole got away with a lot this time.
Our gas was siphoned out and ended up on the other boat and they
ended up with one less fish than they thought. I suppose the mole
secretly threw one fish back or something. The only person I can
think of is Richard Maxwell. There's only one way I can think
of that the gas can could have ended up on the other boat and
that is if Richard took it there inside that tackle box he brought
over. He sure was anxious to be the one to bring it over. And
he probably would have had time to toss a fish in the water too.
Although it does seem surprising that the one fish he threw in
would be the one that made the difference. That one thing makes
me think it would be someone on their boat, but I can't see how
it could be. And it's likely that they'd stop fishing once they
caught over seventy pounds, I suppose, so they could get back
in time. So maybe he just guessed that four or five pounds would
throw them off. If so, his hunch paid off."
Connie(b):
"Jason was pretty quiet most of the time,
but he couldn't stand sitting still and was pacing the deck half
the time. I can't help but wonder if he pulled the siphon trick,
but I can't quite figure out how he could have assured that the
entire thing would work. Until I can figure something better out,
I'll have to go with Richard as top suspect. I just can't understand
why the mole would be so obvious, so I kind of doubt that he's
really the mole. You know, I think this game is driving me crazy!"
Week
Four (Trio Race Challenge):
Richard:
"Well my team made it, didn't it? Hopefully
that finally tells the others that I'm not the mole. As for my
own theories? It's hard to tell. The whole Team C mixup seems
very suspicious and I would like to think it's because the mole
is one of those three. Monica, Eugene and Jack have all done things
that could be classified as mole behavior. And earning an exemption
could throw suspicion off of one of them, if in fact they are
the mole. But that's the thing… they seem to obvious. Today
would have been a great day for the mole to just blend in and
let others mess up for once."
Eugene: "I
am seriously confused as to what to think. Mr. Allen would be
at the top of my list of mole suspects, but after today, so is
Ms. Stone. Unfortunately many competitors are beginning to take
on that particular rodent's characteristics. I just don't understand
how Monica managed to get lost, when she knew exactly which direction
I had headed. Something is amiss."
Jason:
"Everyone's making a big deal out of Team
C's little confusion today. Sure there was some stuff there that
was definitely suspect, but the mole isn't required to sabotage
every single challenge. Only ones that she or he can get away
with! If you were really want to know my opinion, than I'm guessing
the mole flew under the radar this challenge. A lot of people
are in the spotlight right now and the mole was afraid they would
make it obvious if they did anything that drew attention."
Week
Five (Fugitive Challenge):
Eugene:
"Miss Kendall would surely disagree, but
I believe her friend, Mr. Mitchell, is engaging in subterfuge.
He distinctly told Jason and I that he had lost his radio and
it was agreed that he would give up searching for it and move
on in an attempt to find Richard Maxwell. Since Richard had a
radio on him when we captured him, we know that eight people started
out with radios at the beginning of the challenge. Mr. Mitchell
lost his radio, or so he claims; yet there were eight CB radios
placed in the vehicle at the end of the day. I would like to know
how he would account for this discrepancy in what he told us."
Richard:
"You know, I didn't expect to comment much
this time around, but I found it interesting how hard the others
found it to capture me. Barry was going to cuff me, but Jason
offered to help. When he fell, he not only locked the handcuffs,
but everyone turned away, letting me break free. He tripped, apparently,
but I didn't see anything he could have tripped over. It's odd,
but I think I had the best view of the situation, lying on the
ground like that. It sorta makes me wonder if Jason wanted me
to escape."
Jason:
"Eugene called in to report some footprints,
but in hindsight, I wonder if he was just trying to distract us.
Surely he realized that some footprints wouldn't lead us far.
He did end up finding Richard, though. Still, I think I'll stick
by what Monica and I determined for now."
Jack:
"I guess I really wasn't very involved in
this challenge. I searched the majority of my designated area
on the far north-western side of the village but found nothing
and did nothing to help the team. I never even knew Richard had
been found until I got the call to come back because the game
was over. Because of that, my thoughts don't mean a lot, but I
find it interesting that Barry, who started out with me, disappeared
half-way through the challenge and didn't show up again until
the very end. I wonder what he was doing all that time."
Monica:
"I am thoroughly confused. Jason and I came
up with a suspect, but it was obviously wrong. I mean, we must
have really messed up. But still, I have no idea who the mole
is. I wonder if Jason wanted to strategize with me just so it
would ease my suspicions that he is the culprit. He hasn't been
very high-profile so far, but there does seem to be a bit of a
pattern emerging."
Week
Six (Hotel Challenge):
Eugene:
"Well this exhibition has taken a turn
for the worst. I find it difficult to comprehend why the mole
would lie about their participation in the most recent challenge.
After all, they would know the truth would be revealed at a later
point in time anyway. It just seems to cast unnecessary suspicion
on that person. Of course, there is the possibility that the mole
was not the person who lied. However, if that's the case, then
someone has really lowered their moral values."
Jason:
"The traitor on our
team was definitely once again successful in messing up the challenge.
Not only did they manage to remove one hundred thousand dollars
from the pot, but they broke down the team dynamic. The moment
we as contestants start getting suspicious of the activities of
our teammates, we begin to lose trust. The mole wants us to suspect
each other and is doing a fine job of that."
Jack:
"My, my, my, my, my.
That room was very bright."
Week
Seven (Scavenger Challenge):
Richard:
"Jack saved the day
for us, but I still have a few suspicions. Maybe he just decided
to let us win this time to confuse everyone. Throw us off track,
kinda. After all, he did take a while to realize the problem with
that picture and he had expressed a lot of interest in it when
we were in that room. I've gotta wonder if he figured it out then
or even knew about it beforehand and didn't decide to let me know
until the end when he figured he had to do something for the team.
Another interesting thing I picked up on involved Eugene and Jason.
It seems to me that I heard them talking about their trip and
they said they bought round-trip airline tickets. Now, we were
never told we'd be having a round trip until we came to our clues,
so how'd they know to purchase them? I've been thinking about
it and I guess there are a few options. For one, maybe one of
them is the mole and slipped up, showing a little too much of
what he knew. Or maybe, considering both of those men are pretty
brainy, maybe they figured out that if they had to end up back
here eventually and one-way took up about half their money, that
they would have to be coming back to the same place by plane,
so they felt it safe to purchase the tickets. I mean, it makes
sense, but it sure took me a while to think of it. Not that that
means anything. Or maybe they just bought the round-trip without
thinking and it just happened to work out. The whole thing's probably
nothing and I think I'll stay with Jack as my primary suspect,
but I still haven't ruled Eugene and Jason out."
Jack:
"Well, I've been rather
unsure throughout this game about who the mole might be. I've
suspected just about everyone and I think I only confuse myself
more every time I think about it. In yesterday's challenge, Richard
didn't do much, really. I found the clue in the room and was the
one who figured out the problem with the picture. Of course, I
wouldn't expect Richard to know much about artwork and he did
get us to the Eiffel Tower in the first place, but I can't seem
to ignore the nagging suspicion that he's been up to no good the
entire game. He's always just bordering on showing himself to
be the mole without ever actually giving anyone the absolute proof."
Jason:
"Eugene ruined it for us. If he hadn't
given that enormous tip to the cabbie, we just might have been
winners instead of returning here in shame. But I just don't know
if that makes him the mole or not. I might as well admit it since
the cameras probably caught the whole thing anyways: I wasted
some cash too. It would have been enough to make it back if I
hadn't squandered it. I guess we're both guilty, but obviously
I know myself, so I'm still rather suspicious of Eugene. I've
never really bought into the idea of Jack being the mole much,
but I think Robert Mitchell would be just the type for it, so
I'm watching him rather closely too."
Eugene:
"Alas, yet another
lost chance. And yet, I cannot say with any great confidence that
I know or even strongly suspect the identity of the mole that
resides amongst us. Nearly everyone here has done something that
I would deem suspicious at some point in this game and it is quite
difficult to determine much from the data provided. I have my
suspicions and Connie isn't one of the two in whom my suspicions
lie, but I do marvel at the fact that she has gone through this
game almost completely unsuspected and it that singular fact is
at least immensely intriguing, although it is by no means solid
proof of anything whatsoever.
Week
Eight (Dice Challenge):
Jack:
"I'm very glad I earned
the exemption in that last challenge since I'm still afraid I'm
not sure who to vote for! Jason and Eugene were the only two who
actually completed the last challenge, but that doesn't mean anyone,
myself included, should cross them off the suspect list just yet.
Both of them have done various things that have messed up our
chances in challenges, and both shouldn't think they've gotten
off the hook simply because they tried to complete a challenge
for once. They haven't got me fooled... let me tell you."
Richard:
"I can't believe the
old man! He said my challenge wasn't as hard as the others, so
he feels it's his opportunity to place my hard earned money on
the line? Why not Mitch's money? I mean Jack was part of the reason
Mitch was able to earn the $20,000, why not pick him? I just can't
believe I did all that stuff for nothing, and got insulted in
the process. What do I have to do around here to prove to everyone
that I'm not the mole!"
Mitch:
"I've revealed Connie isn't the mole,
but now I'm trying to figure out who else it could be. Jack, Rich,
Eugene and Jason are all very good candidates. That last challenge
I messed up... but not because I didn't want to earn the money,
come on! $20,000 is a lot of cash and would have been very nice
to add to the pot. But eating bugs? Get real. The mole has gotta
be Jack, but other then theories, I can't prove it."
Eugene:
"Well none of the individuals
can assert that I did not do my best to complete the most recent
challenge. I did, after all, earn $10,000 to the group pot which
I certainly hope to claim at the end of the game and help Katrina
and I start a new life together. As for the rodent... I would
fell most inclined after this challenge to believe Mitch is the
mole. He refused to digest those insects when $20,000 was on the
line! In the first place he earned that money by chance, and then
he threw it all away. Mitch also has been very quiet these past
few days. I believe it's because he feels bad he didn't tell Connie
the truth, and now she's departed while he's present and accounted
for."
Jason:
"Well I no longer think Jack is the
mole. If he's as clever as I think he is, then he wouldn't have
lost the dice challenge. He's been drawing a lot of attention
to himself and the mole just wouldn't do that! The mole is incredibly
smart, obviously, otherwise we wouldn't have made it so far and
lost so much money. Eugene could be the mole, he's smart enough
to pull it off, but then we also have Mitch who is trained in
the art of deception. I know who I'm gonna vote for... I just
hope I'm right."
Week
Nine (Murder Investigation Challenge):
Mitch:
"Another day, another challenge and another
step closer to a nice chunk of change. Wow, am I sounding poetic?
Anyways, Im a little confused this time. It sure seems to
me that Jack could easily have faked the evidence, but then why
would he plant it on the right guy and then vote for him? Its
like he planted evidence to make us win, but that doesnt
make sense! So then that leaves Eugene and Jason. I dont
think its Jason, but Im not so sure that its
Eugene either. I dont know if Ill answer the test
assuming the moles Jack or Eugene. Im really confused."
Jack:
"Jason and Mitch are positive that Im the mole, or at least
thats what they keep saying. As for me, Im starting
to lean towards Jason. He certainly has the talent for this type
of thing and in recent challenges hes been rather suspicious.
If he is the mole, hes getting away with it without too
much attention being drawn to him, but I guess thats what
makes the perfect mole."
Jason:
"Its Jack, obviously. Its almost too obvious. The
guys running this thing made a mistake picking him because he
just cant hide what hes doing. The odd thing is, with
everyone knowing Jacks the mole, well all be answering
the same on our tests. That means elimination comes down to how
well we know Jack and how well we pay attention to him, I guess.
This ought to be a close one. The others do think its Jack,
right?"
Eugene:
"I have yet to determine at this somewhat late stage of the game
exactly who is responsible for the acts of sabotage committed
in this game, although it is my personal belief that Mr. Allen
is not responsible. Jason has silently but consistently pursued
his own plans throughout the course of this game and I find the
possibility of him being our saboteur becoming more and more apparent
with each passing challenge."
Week
Ten (The Final Challenge):
Jack:
"Well, before the game began, I didn't
expect to make it to the half way point let alone the finals,
but somehow I managed. Eugene and Jason are top notch competitors
in their own right and it's amazing how much we've accomplished
in the several weeks we've been playing this game. Both individuals
would make great moles and both have done several things in the
past weeks that would make me suspect them. Jason, for example,
is consistantly late when it comes to big group meetings and has
lost $27,000 for that alone. That's a large chunk of change that
has gone unnoticed by many of the former contestants, and I think
his actions have spoken louder then words. Remember the siphon
trick he pulled? Or the misfires in the Castle Challenge? He certainly
would have a better shot than that with his experience I would
hope. And then there's Eugene, who time and time again has the
brains to pull this whole thing off and still be only the last
suspect. He's not getting past me though, I know what kind of
things he's done. Eugene hitting the boat in the kayaking challenge?
Eugene not returning to get Monica and I during the Trio Race?
He also had the opportunity to mess up the Murder Investigation
challenge when him and I split up. If I recall, it was him who
insisted I did do. It wouldn't surprise me if the reason Eugene
won all $50,000 in the final challenge was to try and make us
think it couldn't possibly be him. I'm not going to believe it."
Eugene:
"I didn't comprehend what kind of monumental task this would
be when I signed up for AIO Mole many moons ago. If I had known
I would have made it all the way to the final three, I may have
reconsidered the offer. I've been away from my wife for so long
and I'm worried something may have happened to her. But we're
not here to discuss my personal life, we are here to discuss the
mole. Throughout the course of the game, I have never really stuck
with any one particular person as my mole. I decided to never
rule anyone out, and I feel it has helped me make it to the finals.
However, Jack and Jason are the two remaining mole candidates,
and I'm at a loss for which way I'm going to vote. Jack has, on
numerous occasions, done something very suspicious. If memory
serves me correctly, it was discussed at length after the first
challenge that the boat was run aground because of Jack or Barry.
Now that Barry is gone, it would lend evidence to the claim that
Jack was acting on the producer's behalf. Jack has done many other
things since but I'll keep those to myself. Jason, on the other
hand, has been very quiet if he is in fact the mole. His background
would lead me to believe he's capable of such covert cover that
none of us would suspect him. As a friend to Jason, I feel he
is not the mole. But this game does not allow prior relationships
to get in the way of sabotage, and Jason certainly has lost a
great deal of money. However, on the surface he's directly lost
$27,000... underneath that surface, there's no limit to how much
he could have done to siphon our money supply."
Jason:
"My two best friends with me in the finals! Too bad it had
to be under these circumstances, but on the bright side I've got
a 50/50 chance of coming away with the cash. I know I'm not the
mole, and nothing anyone can say will make that true, so it's
either Jack or Eugene I'll be competing with for the $375,000
pot. I sure wish I hadn't been late for all those things, otherwise
the grand total would be pushing $400,000 and I would love to
put it to some good use. Well about the mole... my gut is gonna
decide for me on this one. The mole played a terrific game and
I've got to give him credit. Especially since I still don't know
which one of the final two it is. Jack is a wonderful man. He's
wise, smart and kind, but I know from past experience that Jack
has been itching for a little excitement for quite some time.
The AIO Mole game would be a great way for him to break out of
that shell he made for himself. Then I've got Eugene, who's a
genious and could pull the wool over everyone's eyes. His huge
tip to the cabbie and misleading clue in the Fugitive game really
gets me suspcious. Jack's substantial loss of money also raises
my eyebrow. Guess I won't know who I'm voting for, till I vote.
Wish me luck!
