The Dutch Mole

Episode 7

Arnoud is gone. Four of them are left.
I had this episode on video, so this summary is a bit longer.

Day 12
They finally get to know why they had to drag those surfboards with them during the hitchhiking. Byron Bay is known for its great waves. Deborah and Petra go surfing. An Australian guy teaches them how to surf. If they manage to stand on the board for 5 seconds, they win 5.000 gilders. But it's very hard and they keep falling off. Angela asks them what's so difficult about it. Deborah:"By the time you get behind the waves, you have to start paddling, but if it doesn't work out, you have to go all the way back behind the waves and that's just killing." Petra:"It's really tough. You have to watch, paddle, jump everything at the same time. And you have to push yourself up on your arms and that's very hard." Then we see Deborah falling off her board and she gets very angry. We hear a piece of Petra's confession:"Deborah has a lot of mood swings. Her mood changes all the time and I think that's a good character for the Mole." After a while Petra manages to stand on her board for more than 7 seconds. She can stop. Deborah has to save the challenge, but she can't. They lose the challenge.
Meanwhile, Robin and Wilmie have another challenge. They have to do a circus act with trapezes. They are being taught how to do it. After a while practising they ask the people if they can do the act they'll have to do. It's rather complicated and Robin says:"Well, Wimie, it looks great, but I think... we only have half an hour left and my calf hurts a lot, so..." Wilmie to the camera:"We quit." Robin:"Well... 'we'? We have to cancel the challenge." We hear a piece of Wilmie's confession:"I didn't mind that much, because I was very tired. But if he hadn't said anything, I would have continued."

Day 13
Angela needs two people who have something to do with the sixties. Love, peace and understanding. Robin suggests Wilmie and Deborah volunteers too. They have to go to Nimbin, to teach 10 people a Dutch song. If another Aussie girl can find out which one of the texts she has, is the song the Nimbin choir is singing, they win 5.000 gilders. They try to write the Dutch words into English sounding words. And then they try to gather some people. They find a man, who plays the guitar and a lot of other people. At 4.00 pm the choir gets together and they sing the song. Amazingly the girl guesses the right one. They win 5.000 gilders.
But Robin and Petra also had a challenge to do. They got two bracelets. A real one (5.000 gilders) and a fake one (5 gilders). They have to figure out which one is the real one and which one is the fake bracelet. They can't take the bracelets with them and they aren't allowed to bring a jewellor. If they succeed, they win 5.000 gilders. If not, they have to pay the bracelet. So there will go 5.000 gilders out of the kitty. Petra draws the bracelets on a piece of paper, minding every detail. After a while she sees that she accidently (?) drew something on the wrong piece of paper. She changes it and they go down town. They find two jewellors and they explain everything. They get a lot of information and they even get a magnifying glass. They come back and investigate the bracelets one last time. Then Angela takes them to a cliff next to the sea. She asks which one they think is the fake bracelet. Robin and Petra give her the bracelet. Angela asks if they are sure. They both say they are. Angela turns and throws the bracelet from the cliff into the sea. She looks at Petra and Robin:"Guys... I just threw away 5.000 gilders!" So the 5.000 gilders, won by Wilmie and Deborah, are gone already.

Confession
Robin:"I don't think you have to look to the sabotages that happened in the group, but more at things like, how does the Mole behave in the group, what does he/she take with him/her. If it would only be the results of the challenges, it would be too obvious, I think. I think the Mole was told to cooperate to the challenges as much as possible."
Wilmie:"I like it when I can read people. When I can understand how they feel and what they think. And if it turns out I'm wrong, I would start doubting about by human knowledge. But I've already made a big mistake thinking Warner was the Mole, so... I can still doubt."
Deborah:"Robin has said from day one, that he wanted to win, but he doesn't put other people aside for that or anything. I like Petra most, but she's not my favourite. We're just 2 girls, we do a lot together."
Petra:"I would like to win. I really want to be in the finale. If I'm on the plane I might think that I lost a lot of money. You can do some nice things with that."

Suspicions
Petra:"I still think Wilmie might be the Mole, but that would be too obvious. I think everyone that had to go, voted for Wilmie, so I go for Deborah now."
Wilmie:"Deborah is so honest and so friendly. I don't think it's her. I still think it's Robin. I got that acknowledged again yesterday. FLASHBACK: The challenge with the trapezes: Robin:"And my calf really hurts a lot, so..." Wilmie:"We quit."
Deborah:"Luckily I changed my mind about Arnoud, 'cause he's gone now, so maybe that's good for me. Wilmie is very silent. If she is the Mole and she's always gone and everything... I think you have to play it better as a mole. So there's only Robin left. Robin is the Mole."
Robin:"Everything you see and hear from Deborah are real emotions and I wonder whether it's a good move to let a mole show real emotions. I'm just following my intuition now, and my intuition tells me 'Robin, Wilmie is the Mole.' If Wilmie has to go tonight I will be surprised, because then I've voted for the wrong Mole for 5, 6 episodes and I will be wondering why I still would be in the game, because Wilmie wouldn't be the Mole and then I think something's wrong with the procedure of which contestants are sent home."

Suspicious for the viewers
Deborah couldn't stand on the surfboard for 5 seconds.
Robin and Wilmie gave up on their act.
Robin and Petra chose the wrong bracelet.

The Execution
Since this is a very weird and special execution, for one time you can't click on the pictures to see who gets eliminated. Here's how it went:

The contestants are sitting on a bench. Robin wants them to hold hands, but Deborah says her hands are all sweaty.

Angela:"My friends... the last execution. The hardest execution."

The camera zooms in at Robin and we hear his voice:"Wilmie is the Mole. Robin, Wilmie is the Mole."
Then Wilmie gets zoomed in. "No, I still think Robin is the Mole."

Angela:"But you have to realize that you're with the last contestants and that's something to be proud about."

Petra gets zoomed in:"My feeling tells me to go for Deborah and I'm willing to take that risk."
And finally Deborah gets zoomed in:"I think it's Robin."

Angela starts with Petra. She types in her name. And when she presses Enter, a GREEN SCREEN appears.
Petra can stay. She's very happy. Angela congratulates her.

Deborah is next. She too gets a green screen.
Deborah and Petra kiss each other. And then Deborah sighs and looks at Robin and Wilmie as if she feels guilty she could stay and one of them can't.

Robin:"I have to go."
Petra:"No..."
Robin:"Of course I have."

Angela asks Robin whether he's ready.

We hear Robin's voice:"Petra... GREEN! Deborah... GREEN! It's all over for me now!"

Angela types in his name.

She presses Enter and...

He has a GREEN SCREEN.

Robin can stay! Wilmie has to go. Robin doesn't understand a thing of it. He just stares in the distance, while Petra and Deborah say goodbye to Wilmie. Finally he stands up and hugs her too.
Robin:'I was very amazed. Amazed that I got a green screen. Amazed that I could stay. And then I thought about Wilmie, because you know the red screen follows. And then you are amazed about how many times you just had the wrong Mole!"

Petra:"I thought Robin would have to go home and he thought that himself too.He also had a green screen, so there's one left andthat's Wilmie. Wilmie had to go. But because Robin reacted like 'Game over' and everything... you could see he really thought he had to go. So now I know for sure he isn't the Mole"

Deborah:"You just don't know who you can trust anymore. And when you start suspecting someone else, everything he or she does becomes suddenly very suspicious and... So I'm just gonna stick to Robin from now on."
