Belgian Mole 3
Episode 5

Walter had to go home. So there are only two men left in the game. Statistically this means that the chance for The Mole being a woman is bigger. Unless The Mole is someone who likes to be surrounded by women... After 11 days, they already won 14,600 euro. But they also lost out on 44,600. And that's mostly thanks to the great job of The Mole

Day 11 - Nebida, South-Sardinia
The contestants are having breakfast. Then suddenly Stijn arrives back with the group! He bought each one of them a present. A stuffed animal (a pig) for Corry, A cartoony James Bond T-shirt for Marc, two obscene mugs for Inge, an ashtray that makes coughing noises when you press on it and Sandra gets a bracelet. Stijn:"It's from Senegal. It attracts happiness and also spreads happiness." Sandra likes it a lot.

Today they get visitors, but they have to drive to the North of Sardinia for that. In the car, Stijn says it would be great of the visitors had to do a challenge instead of the contestants.
In the other car Corry says she's glad to see her husband again. Inge (after last episode's discussion) does seem to listen to Corry this time and warns her that they probably have to do some kind of challenge in order to see them. "And if we fail, your husband will be sent home... that would be hard."

Suddenly we see shots of the visitors:
Filip:"I'm Filip and I'm Sandra's boyfriend."
Kelly:"I'm Kelly... Fernandez... Shadia's best friend."
Liesbet:"I'm Liesbet. I'm Stijn's sister."
Alain:"I'm Alain. Married to Corry."
Jose:"I'm Jose, Inge's husband."
Linda:"I'm Linda, I'm Marc's husband... mother of three?"

Another shot is shown. Of someone falling down a cliff and screaming...

The contestants arrive. They are on top of a cliff and all the way down in the sea, they can see a boat. In it are all their visitors. The visitors had to estimate whether the contestants would do a bungee jump off the cliff. They have to guess what their visitors predicted. And then they must also do what they think their visitors predicted. If 4 of the 6 are correct, they win 3,000 euro. So they don't all have to jump. They must prove that the contestants and their visitors know each other well.
Host:"I also have to tell you that the point where you are going to jump from is a bit further down the cliff. You first have to rappel down to that spot."
Inge:"Never! He has said I wouldn't jump."
Marc:"She will say no. She told me not to do any dangerous things."
Sandra:"Filip has said yes."
Stijn:"I've been saying for ages that I want to go parachute jumping, but I don't want to do a bungee jump..."
Inge:"And you think your sister will have said no?"
Stijn:"I think she has. I hope not."
Marc:"The question is, do I dare to jump!"

The host asks each contestant separately what they think their visitor said.
Host:"Sandra, what do you think?"
Sandra:"Filip most definitely said yes."
Filip:"She would be anxious to do a bungee jump."
Sandra:"I already did it before, so he knows."
Filip:"Definitely. Sandra goes for everything 100 %."
So it's a YES - YES match.

Host:"How did Jose estimate you?"
Inge:"He will say I won't jump. He knows I have a fear of heights..."
Jose:"She has a lot of fear of heights."
Inge:"... that I would do certain things under group pressure..."
Jose:"If the group really wants her to do it, I think she would do it."
Inge:"But there is no pressure here. Everyone can decide for himself whether to jump or not."
Jose:"On her own decision? No she wouldn't jump."
Inge:"He will definitely say no."
Again a match! NO - NO this time.

Host:"Corry, what do you think Alain has predicted?"
Corry:"He knows my ankle is sprained, so he'll say no."
Alain:"Corry would bungee jump with her foot if she knows it wouldn't get any worse."
Corry:"I'd rather like to jump, but that's not possible, so... no."
Alain:"She will hesitate, but will jump. With her eyes closed."
Corry:"I've been waiting for it all the time and now I can't jump."
Alain:"I'll say yes."
Corry:"No."
Oops. NO - YES. Not a match.

Host:"Shadia, how do you think your friend estimated you?"
Shadia:"She definitely said no."
Host:"Sure?"
Shadia:"Very sure."
Kelly:"She would doubt. And be very scared..."
Shadia:"She knosw I always said I wouldn't do it, so it would be weird if she would now say I would do it."
Kelly:"... but she would do it. I think so. She'll go for it."
Shadia:"If she says yes it's her fault we fail!"
NO - YES

Stijn:"I'm 80 % sure my sister said no, because I've been telling everyone for years that I would love to go parachutejumping. But I don't want to do a bungee jump."
Liesbet:"Yes, I think he would bungee jump."
Stijn:"Now that I'm standing here I do really want to jump, but..."
Liesbet:"Not with much pleasure though..."
Stijn:"I'm also a bit scared for my arm, because it dislocates easily."
Liesbet:"I think he will jump."
Stijn:"I really think think she said no."
Liesbet:"He would absolutely go for it."
Stijn:"And if she said yes... then I'll get pissed."
NO - YES

Marc:"I think my wife said I wouldn't jump."
Linda:"I wouldn't like him to jump, I wouldn't like it."
Marc:"Because she's scared something might happen."
Linda:"What if a spring gets loose or a rope snaps..."
Marc:"Because I promised not to do any dangerous things."
Linda:"But I do think he would do it."
Marc:"I think I'm not going to jump, even though I want to! But I'm not jumping."
Linda:"He jumps."
NO - YES

For now, only 2 of the 6 predictions are correct. The group is still discussing it though. In the visitors boat too.
Linda:"Can I give one last message to my husband?"
Jose (looking through binoculars):"I think I see someone coming."
Liesbet:"I think one of them is ready to go."
Jose:"I can't believe Inge would go to that platform."
Liesbet:"Do you think it's safe?"
Linda:"I think not. With this kind of weather? There's too much wind!"
They suddenly see someone rappeling down the cliff to the platform. Filip looks with the binoculars and describes the person who's going down. Liesbet:"Curly hair? Can I watch?"
It's Stijn indeed!
flashback 
Stijn:"I really think think she said no." 
Liesbet:"I think he will jump."
Some footage of the contestants discussing the challenge on the cliff:
Shadia:"I can imagine her saying yes for you!" Inge agrees.
Sandra:"The two of you definitely yes and you two definitely not."
Stijn:"OK I'll jump."
Stijn gets a camera helmet on. The visitors in the boat can see his face on tha monitor. Liesbet:"He's scared." Linda:"Oh help."
Stijn jumps and his sister screams. His helmet drops off, but he survives the jump.
Linda:"You can rest easy now."
Jose:"We've got two points already, because Inge won't jump."
Filip:"Woe betide you if she does jump!"
Jose:"Yeah... then I don't know my wife."
Kelly:"Look, someone else is going down!"
Linda thinks it's her husband, Marc who's going to jump. She gets nervous.
flashback 
Marc:"I think I'm not going to jump."
Linda:"He jumps."
Some footage of the contestants discussing the challenge on the cliff.
Corry:"You did so many things already."
Shadia:"And you just said you did want to jump and now you don't!"
Marc:"OK I'm going to jump."
Marc gets the helmet on. He looks scared and shakes his head.
Linda:"He's not going to do it. He's untying the rope."
Jose:"Cheer him on!"
Linda:"No, you don't force something like that! He doesn't want to jump, the poor guy!"
Filip:"He looks very serious."
Linda:"He does have three kids and a wife, you know."
Jose:"He's standing on the edge."
Filip:"He's going to jump."
Linda:"I hope he's well secured..." She keeps her hands over her mouth.
Marc jumps and screams. The visitors see the fear in his eyes. He's spinning.
Linda:"He'll be sick, I think."
Sandra is going down.
Filip:"It's Sandra."
flashback 
Sandra:"Filip most definitely said yes."
Filip:"She would be anxious to do a bungee jump."
She's a bit frightened, but jumps almost immediately.
Inge's husband was right too, she didn't jump. So they have 4 correct and win 3,000 euro. The pot is now at 17,600 euro and they are brought to their visitors.

Day 12 - Alghero, Nord-Sardinia
They can spend the day together until late in the afternoon.
Shadia:"It's nice to have someone familiar around. Someone who knows you well. It's fun."

Inge:"I really missed someone to talk to outside the contestants. To explain all your theories. Someone to hug. Someone who's real! And he's real! It really is my husband!" (laughs)

Marc:"It's good to have my wife close to me."
Linda:"You needed me, honey."
Marc:"Yes, it's really nice. The more hunger you get the better it tastes."

Stijn:"I didn't think I would be so happy to see her. I though 'Oh, I don't need all that crap.' but I'm really glad she's here." Liesbet laughs.
Stijn:"Don't be so shy, it's true."

Filip:"It's very exciting of course. I was looking forward to it and I'm happy to see her of course."

Corry:"It's the first time we've been awayfrom each other for so long."
Alain:"I knew she was hurt, but now that I see it's not that bad, I can rest assured."

Could the contestants be The Mole accoring to their visitors?
Alain:"Inge could be The Mole, but I think she wouldn't be able to keep it silent."

Filip:"Sandra is very spontaneous. She connects with everyone and is very social, but als ohas something mysterious over her. I feel that there are a lot of people here who think she's The Mole."
Host:"And what do you think."
Filip:"It could be very well possible."

Kelly:"Shadia are you The Mole?" (they both laugh)
Shadia:"No!"
Kelly:"I knew that. Nah, I don't see it in her."

Liesbet:"I don't think Stijn's The Mole. He would be able to do it, but I would be very surprised if he were The Mole. I don't think so. He would fool us all if he would be The Mole."

Alain:"I saw Corry today in a way I didn't know her. So somewhere, something must have changed and maybe that's The Mole factor. So it's possible she's The Mole. She would be my prime suspect."
Corry:"... this is so bad..."

Linda:"I can honestly tell what I think?" (She points at Marc)
Marc:"Me?!"
Linda:"I think so."
Marc:"Why that?"
Linda:"Because you didn't tell me anything. Everyone has been telling lots of things and you haven't so you're probably keeping that for me too, I think."
Marc:"But you didn't want me to tell you anything."
Linda:"I know... but that's just what I'm thinking. But is it true? We will find out later!"

Time for the next challenge. The contestants are in a cave. At a beach 10 kilometers away, their visitors are waiting for them for the goodbye party, but they don't have any fire. They have to get it to them. There are two ways to get there: over sea or over land. If one of the groups gets the fire to the visitors on time, they get 3,000 euro.
For the sea route, they have to swim until they reach a jet ski for two. Then they go on jet ski to a motor boat, which they have to use to get to a kayak for two, with which they have to row to the beach.
The land route people first have to climb 600 steps to get from the cave to the top of the mountain. There they find a tandem, with which they have to cycle to a beach where a horse is waiting for them. They take the horse to the beach where the visitors are. 
On the way to the beach there are several stops where they can try to light the fire again. First they decide on who does which route.
Inge:"I can ride a horse, but don't know if I can cycle while holding a torch, unless I can sit on the back with someone. I've rode horse for 5 years."
They are thinking about letting Corry go by land.
Inge:"Don't you think we have a better chance if we take Corry over the water?"
Corry:"I don't know how you have to get from one vehicle into the other... No, you guys take the water."
In the cave they find things with which they can keep the fire burning, or protect it from going out. Things such as pictures of the contestants, wood, some shoes, fir-cones,...
Corry, Inge and Stijn go by land, while Shadia, Sandra and Marc try the sea route. They have 90 minutes to get to the visitors.
Inge and Stijn leave with the firs. Corry is far behind, since it's difficult for her to take the 600 steps with a foot in a cast. Both Inge and Corry have a torch with fire.

The others get in the water, making sure the torch doesn't touch any water. Marc is holding the torch. They reach the jet ski for two people. Sandra holds the torch, while Shadia and Marc get on the jet ski. But when Marc gets on, the jet ski tilts and they fall in the water. Sandra tries to avoid the splashing water. They try again and it works. The two leave on the jet ski, while Sandra is taken to the motor boat. They advance very slow in order not too let the fire go out. Marc:"A bit slower, Shadia, if you go faster, the fire will go out."

The land people have arrived the top. They waited for Corry and put on the firs, because there are some things there to make another fire. Corry stays behind to guard the fire. Stijn and Inge take the tandem to the next location. Inge is on the back and holds the torch. She tells him not to cycle too fast, or the fire will go out. They see Marc and Shadia on the jet ski all the way down at sea. (they are on a mountain) Inge says she thinks it's impossible to keep the fire burning on all that water.
They reach a second stop. Now they have to decide if someone stays behind to guard the fire, or if both of them continue. They light a fire and decide to continue. Stijn:"If the fire goes out, it's game over." Inge:"I'd rather have two people to the next stop. Suppose it's still a long way." They both continue. Inge says they have 45 minutes left and have to cycle a bit quicker.

Shadia and Marc have arrived at the motor boat, where Sandra is waiting. Shadia circles around the boat one time, but there's water coming out the back, so they have to be careful. They give Sandra the torch. On the rocks they can make a new fire, in case this one goes out. Marc swims towards it to light it. But Sandra still has the torch. She gets out the boat and swims to Marc. Then they have to get back into the boat again... it takes them 12 minutesto make the fire and get in the motor boat! They have 34 minutes left. Both Shadia and Sandra protect the flame and tell Marc to slow down once in a while.

Inge wonders if it's better to leave Stijn behind to guard the fire on the next stop and that she walks the horse to the visitors. Suddenly, their torch is out!!
They cycle back to the previous stop and hope the fire there is still burning. Luckily it is and they can light the torch again.

The water people have arrived at the kayak. Marc and Sandra get on it to row to their final destination. It's a bit of a hussle to get in safely, but they make it. Sandra is in front and Marc in the back. Sandra rows, but almost gets water on the torch with her peddle.

Stijn and Inge have arrived at the next stop, where a horse is waiting. They light a new fire. Stijn stays behind and Inge mounts the horse with the torch to get to the visitors.

They have 9 minutes 50 seconds left. Sandra is tired of rowing and Marc takes over. Sandra turns around, so she can protect the torch with her entire upper body. It's getting dark already.

Inge is riding the horse through a forest. "Ho, easy... easy."
The horse apparently doesn't take it easy though... it starts running. Inge:"Stop stop stop! Help me!! The fire is out, help me, help me! I can't ride a horse, the fire is out, HELP ME!!!" Watch a compilation videoclip of Inge saying she can ride a horse and the horse bolting and Inge screaming for help here.
She runs back to Stijn. She tells him the fire is out and that the horse bolted. Stijn takes over and Inge asks if he wants to go to the visitors on foot. Stijn:"Is that possible?" Inge:"that's possible. Good luck!" So Stijn takes the fire and goes on foot. Both teams have one and a half minute left.
Stijn's torch goes out and he runs back.

Marc and Sandra arrive at the beach! They hug each other. They are more than 5 minutes late. They don't believe it at first. Marc looks at his watch and notices it's not working anymore.
Linda:"Too bad."
Marc:"Well it means it's broken."
Linda:"Oh well- HEY! That's that expensive watch!!"
Marc:"Just take it along and bring it back to the shop to let it get fixed."
Linda:"I don't have any time this week."

The rest arrives too. The challenge is failed and the pot stays at 17,600 euro. They spend the last night together with their visitors, because they have to go home tomorrow. They do have to go to the confession cam though...
CC
Marc:"The visit is almost over. It was really nice to hold Linda in my arms again after 14 days. It was a good initiave. It was fun."
Corry:"If your husband is with you, all is well. Your batteries are charged again."
Stijn:"I will be glad when the visit is over. So we can be back in the group again, so we can easily work on what we were doing again."
Shadia:"Today we had a really great challenge in the water. I'm glad I was one of the poepl who could go into the water. Too bad it failed, but oh well."
Corry:"There's an elimination again tomorrow. I don't know how I will do, but I'm hoping to stay a bit longer."
Sandra:"I did think about Walter a bit today. I found it a pity for him. I knew he was looking forward to his wife coming here. He's the only person who I felt pity for that he had to go home."
Stijn:"It's hard. It's really hard. But we'll continue to the end. A lot of fun things are awaiting us! I really have to go to sleep now, I'm sorry. Goodnight!" (blows a kiss at the camera)

Day 13 - Alghero, Sardinia
It's 5:30 AM and the visitors are picked up to go back home. They all say goodbye to their visitors. But where's Shadia? The host wakes her up to ask her if she wants to say goodbye. She does. Everyone hugs and kisses and then the visitors leave. The contestants probably go back to bed.

Palau, North of Sardinia
Five people walk through a courtyard of some kind of old prison and climb a lot of steps to meet the host. Shadia isn't with them. She's the chosen one for today. (or in Dutch, it's the 'uitverkorene')
We see footage of how she became the 'uitverkorene'. Yesterday, they each got a piece of paper with letters on it. The person who could find the word in it first would be the 'uitverkorene'. The letters are as follows:
ROTE
RUNK
EVIE

Shadia foudn the word. The word was 'uitverkorene'... so it had already been told to them before they started the game. Shadia will be in control today. She has to decide what the others have to do. The others are locked up in prison cells. (every person in one prison cell) The host talks to Shadia.
Host:"Shadia, first I'll have to say that everything we talk about, will be heard by The Mole. If you are The Mole, that's obvious of course. If you're not The Mole, one of the other contestants will be listening in. They all have a headset and one of them can hear us. You have to divide everyone, including yourself, in three pairs. One pair has to have good skill. One pair has to be good at common knowledge and one pair has to be able to assess things very well."
Shadia chooses Inge and Corry for the 'assessing things'. Marc and herself for 'common knowledge' and Sandra and Stijn for 'good skill'.
Every person in a duo has to 'fight' each other in a duel. The winner will get 3 free questions correct on the questionnaire. Shadia gets 1,000 euro to start with. She can bet it for every duel. If she bets well, she can win 8,000 euro. But The Mole hears what she decides.
The first duel is 'common knowledge'. The game is 'name five'. Shadia wants to play safe and doesn't bet any money. She predicts she will win.
They can each choose among 8 categories. Then the host asks them to name five things. For example, if they chose politics, the host might ask 'Name five Flemmish ministers.' They each have to stand at a different place on the roof of the prison. Shadia walks to the left, Marc to the right. As they do, we see all 8 categories appear and move across the screen: music, Italy, Nobel price, the mole, geography, history, film and Belgium. Shadia chose geography and history, Marc film and Belgium. The person who needs the least amount of seconds to name five things, wins the three free questions. 
Marc has to name five movies of Steven Spielberg.
Marc:"Jaws, Shindler's list,.... Amistad...."
Time goes by. Twenty seconds have past already.
Host:"There are a lot of them."
Marc:"I know... eehm... Savind Privat Ryan..."
His 30 seconds are up. So there's 30 seconds on the counter. Time would have stopped if he had named five movies before the 30 seconds had run out, but now it's standing on 30.

Shadia's turn.
Host:"Shadia, name five neighbouring countries of China."
Shadia:"Of China?! (laughs) Russia... ehm... Russia to begin with..."
She keeps on thinking, but doesn't come up with anything. She too has 30 seconds on the counter.

Marc:
Host:"Name five Belgian cities or villages that start with the letter K."
Marc:"... Kuurne... Kwaad-Mechelen.... eehm... Kuurne, Kwaad-Mechelen... Kalmthout! Kontich! And..."
18 seconds passed...
Marc:"Kortrijk!!"
His couter is now at 48 seconds. Shadia has to beat it.
Watch a very short videoclip of Marc guessing Kortrijk at 48 seconds. (if you listen carefully it seems someone whispers 'Kortrijk' at 47 seconds... which arose a lot of speculations on the internet)

Host:"Name five Roman emperors."
Shadia laughs:"Eeehm... Nero... Caesar...."
She already takes more than Marc. The host tells her she only has one, because Caeser never was an emperor. Shadia can't name any other and loses. Marc wins the three free questions. No money is won, nor lost, because she didn't bet any.

Duel 2: Stijn - Sandra
Shadia bets all 1,000 euro on Stijn because she thinks he will stay calm.
The duel is a classic duel, but with paintball guns instead of real ones. They have to stand against each other back to back and take 10 paces. Then they turn around and can shoot one after the other. The person that hits the other first, without getting hit himself, wins the round and the three free questions.
Sandra and Stijn are standing against each other. They each take ten paces and turn around. Stijn aims and hits Sandra. It's her turn now. She aims and hits him too. They have to take ten paces again (so they get further away from each other. Sandra aims, shoots and... misses. Stijn aims and... hits her! He gets three free questions and Shadia now has 2,000 euro to bet with in the final duel between Inge and Corry. She bets it all on Corry.
The two girls have to assess time. Each of them has a big timer. They are blinded. The game starts when the host activates the timers. They have to stop the timer after 100 seconds. The person that's closest to the 100 seconds, wins. They have to ask each other two questions and answer truthfully.
The game starts...
Inge:"What's the licence plate of your car?"
Corry:"HVW-202."
Seconds go by and both are silent...
Corry:"How did you meet your husband?"
Inge:"At a party."
40 seconds have gone by...
Inge:"What have you done last christmas?"
...
Corry:"Eeeehmm... we celebrated it in the Ardennes."
50 seconds... they are halfway...
60 seconds...
Corry:"What's the last book you've read?"
Inge:"Secret History by Donna Tartt."
Seconds go by...
Suddenly Inge stops the timer!
Corry waits quite a long time and then also stops the timer.

Inge stopped the timer at 95 seconds. Then they check Corry's timer. She stopped it at... 108 seconds. She loses and Inge wins the three free questions.
The others are called in and told about all duels and what Shadia did. She has to tell them. She didn't bet on the first duel and didn't win any money. On the second duel she bet 1,000 euro on Stijn. The others are glad and some clap their hands. So they had 2,000 euro.
Host:"Then the last duel came. Between Inge and Corry. What did you bet and on who?"
Shadia:"I bet 2,000 euro on Corry."
All:"Aaaaaaah!"
The host says they didn't win anything except for Marc, Stijn and Inge who won the three free questions.

Suspicions
Shadia:"Kelly visited me yesterday. She tipped Sandra. Because she said that, I started to keep aneye on Sandra, but there really isn't anything that points in her direction."
Stijn:"I dunno, I think Sandra is... she's a top contestant. She could really play The Mole! She's very capable of doing it. But if she is The Mole is a different question."
Sandra:"I don't have any free questions. I should have done my best more, I could really use them."
Corry:"Unfortunately I don't have any free questions. Stupidly enough. I should have thought about it and immediately hit the timer after Inge had stopped it."
Marc:"Shadia didn't really do her best today. She could have won more money than what she did."
Inge:"All in all, Shadia didn't do too bad today. I would immediately bet in the first duel, but she restrained herself."
Shadia:"I was wrong today, but I guess it's human to... to be wrong sometimes."
Sandra:"I still think I'm on to the correct person. Not everyone knows that for sure I think. It's going to be really exciting."
Stijn:"There's 6 people left and we're all getting closer. Still no very tight friendships yet, I think, but it's getting comfortable."
Corry:"If we lose we don't care we lost money again. We'd better take it more seriously, because are money pot is getting pittiful."
Marc:"Every step you come closer, that pot comes closer. The chance that the pot will start playing a role will get bigger. I can't imagine it won't play any role till the end."

Suspicious in this episode
Corry's husband and Shadia's friend said the person they were visiting would bungee jump. Is one of them in on the game?
Marc and Stijn didn't want to jump at first...
Inge's torch goes out whilst on the tandem.
Corry stalls the others by not being able to get on the stairs quickly with her (faked?) foot in cast.
Marc and Shadia fall off the jet-ski when they're trying to get on, splashing water around, which could have unlit the fire.
The water team takes 12 minutes to light a fire and get into the motorboat.
Inge says she will take the land route, because she can ride a horse and she's done it for 5 years. Then when she's on the horse and it bolts, she yells she can't ride a horse.
Stijn goes the last part on foot, but his torch goes out.
Sandra and Marc are 5 minutes late. Conveniently, time on Marc's watch is standing still, because it broke.
Shadia bets all the money, instead of a part of it.
Corry loses to Inge. If she had stopped the timer immediately after Inge did, she would have won. Was she the one who could hear Shadia and the host talking through the headphones?

Elimination
Stijn, Marc and Inge won three free questions on the questionnaire. So three questions were already counted as being correct. Will it have any influence on the elimination?
