‘The Mole’: double execution (spoilers)

So, was the apple a clue? In a past season, when Anderson Cooper ate an apple, it was intended to suggest that the Mole was from Washington state, a big apple producer. So was Bobby on the right track when he suggested that the big apple Jon was eating pointed toward the current Mole being a Big Apple contestant, i.e. Paul?

Maybe not. Either Bobby wasn’t onto anything or he screwed up the quiz in other ways, because he and his poor, aching, bony body got to go home Monday night. That’s too bad; he was entertaining, and he and chubby Craig together in their underwear, begging for clothes, were a great sight gag. (Craig thought, accurately, that he and beanpole Bobby looked like the number 10.)

Even before Bobby was “executed,” though, St. Louis lost our player when Ali (above) took the money (a $30,000 offer for anyone to quit) and ran. She was actually a fairly common candidate to be the Mole, but guess not. She said she was unsure about her quiz performance, but I think she had blisters. Walking the streets in high-heeled sandals on the quest for clothes must have done her feet in.

A comment on a previous “Mole” post, though, indicated that Dr. Nicole, billed as being from Chicago, is originally from East St. Louis. Perhaps we should adopt her to root for? I’m still laughing over her cool declaration that she could kill Paul in his sleep and get away with it.
