The first execution ended. Rachael has left the group. Who did she wrongly suspect? And out of eleven remaining who will be the next to go? One person is sure to survive and that is... The Mole.
Nov 3rd:
Anthony: "Rachael was a good player, and I'll miss her, in this game"
Lisa: "I never really had the chance to talk to Rachael at all throughout the game since she was in the "Games Team" during the first challenge. In addition, I rarely see her online. I feel that she would make a great team player though. It's a pity that she was the first to be executed."
Alison: "She seemed nice enough from her posts, I never really talked to her as I didn't have any IM capabilities. I hope she had fun playing the game."
Amy: "Rachael was a good player..I'm sure we will all miss her input."
Robbie: "Rachael's a very cheerful, warm, friendly and lucky girl. I'm glad to know her."
Mark: "Rachael has a very friendly nature and always puts maximum effort into theses games."
Jenni: "She is a lovely person, from I have gotten to know of her."
Michael: "As for Racheal, well, I never really got a chance to talk to her...and I guess the Mole made an Omelette....(that was a bad joke...)"
Jennifer: "I dont really know Rachael but she seems nice enough."
David: "She's a good friend and good person to talk."
After the elimination took place all remaining contestants were asked a simple question: Who they don't trust at all. They had time till sunday 6pm GMT to answer this question.
Jenni got one vote from Alison, David two votes from Amy and Michael, Anthony got one vote from Lisa, Steven a vote from Robbie, but Michael got the most votes. He got 4 votes from Anthony, Jenni, Mark and Steven. What the contestants didn't know was that Michael could receive a free pass if he won the challenge but could also lose the team much money!
However two of the remaining contestants David and Jennifer didn't send an answer. They both received a questionnaire penalty point.
Soon Michael received his challenge:
HOST: "Well the majority of the group doesn't trust you at all. But you'll receive the most valuable price, which is a Free Pass into the next episode! All you have to do is win the group $25,000! You have to play poker against me. You can bet all the money from the kitty you want. If you lose all you can take credit. You have four days to complete this challenge (till Thursday 6pm GMT). Each day we have to meet and play a poker game. Each day you'll have 10 hands, but if you return to the last days pot you receive 2 additional hands. That's all. Good luck!"
During the first day he was able to win $6800, then he didn't appear for 2 days and finally on the final day of the challenge he won the challenge and a free pass for himself!
Meanwhile the rest of the team received their challenge:
HOST: "Now I have a challenge for the rest of you... Your challenge is preety simple. Here you see a pic of The Maze. Inside there are three hunters (red dots) and you (blue dot). All you have to do is either get to the exit or not getting cought by the end of the challenge. The rules are simple. Each one of you each day has three moves (one move=one square). So each day you have 30 moves in total. You'll have to work as a team on this and together you'll have to create a strategy. After each day (which ends 6pm GMT) I move three hunters (red dots). I can move each red dot 15 squares. Your starting location is Z39. You have to get to Z1 to exit the maze. When you want to move blue dot (player) you have to write your moves on the private board. For example:
1st Person "From Z39 to W39"
Next person "From W39 to W36"
Next "From W36 to U35"
and so on.
Remember: Vertically after Z is 0 (ZERO) not O (letter).
Remember each one of you has only THREE moves each day! if someone makes more than three for each additional move you'll lose $5,000 from the kitty.
Prize:
For getting to the EXIT (Z1) you win $100,000
For surviving in the maze for 6 days you win $75,000
You have time till Saturday 6pm GMT (6 days) to complete this challenge!"
The first day caused a bit confusion. Steven made 4 moves and lost the team $5000. This diagram shows how the team moved during the first day of the challenge:
On Day 2 the team decided to go towards A24. However suddenly they realized that if they made it to that point they would be cought by the hunters. The team decided to hide in the corner of the map.
Days 3-5 went without any strategical problems. But an unpleasant thing happened. Suddenly David makes a rude comment about Alison which almost causes her to leave the game. However everything returnes to normal soon.
On day 6 they were close to failure when both Jennifer and David received a proposition. If they moved towards the hunters the penalty point would be erased. Jennifer didn't agree to do it, but David did!
They weren't able to get to the exit but they survived in the maze and so the challenge was won adn $75,000 went to the kitty!
After both challenges the kitty stays at: $169,000!
On Friday after the end of DAY 5 of the maze challenge they received their second questionnaires. They had to answer ten questions about the identity of THE MOLE. The person who scored the lowest had to leave the game.
Jenni: "I have always thought Jennifer, I had Rachael last time, b/c I was just not paying attention on who I was choosing. I did not take good notes this episode on people. I am starting too now. Instead of guessing. I hope I'll stay. I'd like to see David leave for his hostile way toward Alison."
Mark: "Michael- im going for him because i dont have a clue and as he got me through last weeks elimination, ive tried him again this week. I'd like to see David out for the comments he made."
Steven: "I think that with Michael winning his challenge, that was a big clue. As I said above did he win the challenge because he knew that nobody would be watching for clues, was the pressure off for him in this challenge?. I want David to leave this game, I think that the comment he made about Allison was totally crap, I think he deserves to be out of the game because of that."
Robbie: "David is very suspicious, but he always tries to be suspicious in mole games, so I don't think I have to mind it much. But then again he has to be mole some time! Steven, same thing. He wanted to be the first one to post his moves, because he had to go to college. This could've been an excuse to sabotage. I dunno... I hope one of my suspects will leave, so I know for sure they're not the Mole."
Amy: "David acted like an ass during the whole maze Challenge, and then went the opposite direction of the way we had all planned to go in the end. Pretty Mole-ish to me! I'm worried this week, I didnt do to well on the quiz. My only hope is someone did worse than I did (if that is possible LOL)"
Lisa: "I think that Anthony is the mole. At this point of the game, it's quite hard to determine the identity of the mole, so I'll go with my gut instinct. I believe that the Mole is someone from the "Maze" team because it is easier to get some "Mole action" going on in there, since there are many times where you can sabotage the team's efforts. I want David out, because he's been pretty inactive these past few days."
Alison: "I don't know why, I still think it is David, it could be Steven, but then again it COULD be any one of them. The fact that David is still in this game (regardless of whether I forgive him or not) makes me suspect that he could not go. David was the RUDEST person ever, whether he apologized or not. Obviously enough to set the host off, and make him angry... But not enough for him to have been booted out. I could only see the mole be able to stay after something like that. It was a personal attack, it wasn't just rudeness, it was something I will never forget, and even if he isn't the mole, he deserves my vote."
Anthony: "I still don;t know who the mole is, i wish i didn;t vote for Micheal for the last round, cause i want to watch him and study, but my gut is telling my he is the mole, and my brain is telling me to choose someone else."
Michael: "I currently think that the Mole is either Steven or Robbie. Steven messing up how many times a day he can post moves was kind of suspicious..."
Jennifer: "I have no idea! No one is sticking out at all--so I'm guessing they are doing a really good job."
On Saturday, after the end of the MAZE challenge, the elimination has begun! They all received their elimination programs through E-Mail with this message:
"The second episode has almost ended and in a moment one of you will leave us... Michael won a free pass so he's sure he'll stay, but the rest of you had to take the quiz! You had to answer ten questions about the identity of The Mole. The person who scored the lowest will have to leave us today. In a moment you'll open your elimination programs. You'll begin entering your names into the computer. If the screen turns green you're staying with us... but should it turn red you're the next one to go! The elimination has begun! Good Luck!"
This time I began with Jennifer:
JENNIFER
ROBBIE
AMY
LISA
DAVID
David was eliminated!!!
He knew the least about the identity of The Mole.
Ten have remained.
Among them THE MOLE!
