Yeah…it’s time for everyone’s favorite not-so-guilty pleasure. (Yeah, I know…Baldwin, Corbin. Again.)
But come on, you know we had to do it.
I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve got my eyes on Rudy (er…Keisha Pullman? Yeah, she’ll always be Rudy to me). She’s so innocent looking. Why do I have the feeling that the producers will be pulling strings to get Stephen and Corbin to stay longer than they actually deserve?
This great Mole paste is the basis of a terrific Mole sauce!
Ingredients
10 dried ancho chiles
6 dried pasilla negro (or negro) chiles
4 dried guajillo or mulato chiles
6 T black raisins
1/2 cup almonds
6 T raw sesame seeds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 slice French bread
1 corn tortilla
One 3-inch piece of Mexican Canela (soft-bark cinnamon)
OR 1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
6 whole cloves
1 t black peppercorns
1 1/2 t dried oregano
1 round of Ibarra Mexican Chocolate (3.1 oz.)
My first thought was, why didn’t I see the show advertised? I didn’t even know there was going to be another season of Celebrity Mole until it came on. My next thought was, why Celebrity again? I was so hoping for a return to something like the first season.
My guess is that TM will end up being male. I think it would be the most fun if it turned out to be Rodman. Since he already tried to convince the others Curry was lying, I’m guessing he isn’t TM. If I follow the pattern of the previous shows, the first season Mole was a younger female, second season - older male, third season - 30 something (?) female, so now probably a 30 something male. I didn’t think they’d be that obvious the second season, but they were, so I’m sticking to the pattern and have gone with a male for this reason only.
Oh, yes, most definitely. People like the guy who was the divorce lawyer on L.A. Law, and the guy who used to be Mr. Cooper on Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper (or somethin’ like that). They play the usual sorts of games people play on “reality” shows (my wife and I like these shows, mostly, but she often comments that there was no particular need to start calling game shows “reality”.) The better they do in the games, the more money there is for the winner.
The catch – one player is actually “the mole”, who is trying to sabotage the efforts of the others. At the end of each episode, there is a test which the players answer based on their best estimates of who the mole might be. The player who gets the worst score is kicked out.
It was originally just a reality show, with “ordinary” players. ABC seems to have come to the conclusion that the celebrity version does better.
Yeah, I didn’t see anything about it until the day before. And I, too, wish they’d go back to the Moles of yesteryear. Oh and…FREE ANDERSON!!! (Had to get that out of the way.)
I and my fellow Mole watching companion came up with a couple of clues. They were in somewhere called Carmen for one part of the show…(I remember, it flashed on the screen), and Dennis Rodman was married to (or sleeping with) Carmen Electra at one point, which suggests him. Also…the host, Ahmad Rashad was married to Phylicia Rashad, who played Keshia Knight Pullman’s TV mommy on “The Cosby Show.” That’s probably a huge stretch…and I’m starting to think like Corbin. But hey, who knows, right?
If Angie Everhart isn’t the mole shes a bad player
She lied about seeing the artifact in the market
She stepped outside the ring (costing $10,000)
She was the holdout for the exemption (costing IIRC $25,000)
Personally for the exemption I would have voted for Baldwin (who already had one), that way no one is better or worse off than before and the pot would go up.
Corbin Bernsen is the worst The Mole player in the history of time. If allowed, he would probably go completely Howard Hughes, and watch multiple cameras/TVs for hours on end, collecting his own waste in jars in an effort to root out the mole.
Corbin: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. There are seven candles. There are seven place settings! And Angie’s diary has the number 7 on it!
Rodman: There are 9 candles, idiot. See - you didn’t count those 2.
Why is that bad playing if she’s not the mole? It got Corbin eliminated, and created more false evidence to throw others off the track of the real mole. $35k is nothing compared to the $50k that Baldwin cost them ($50k is the point at which I would have traded in the exemption, mole or not).
Actually, Angie cost the pot $50,000 for the exemption holdout, because $25k was not added and $25 was subtracted.
Giving the exemption to Stephen would’ve been the smartest, unless Ahmad says this is against the rules. In that case, a random “draw straws to determine the exemption” would have been the smartest move.
Because Corbin got kicked, I believe Dennis is the mole. Corbin probably suspected Angie based on mole-like play and the fact that the supermodel was the mole last time. Since he got kicked, Angie must be playing bad on purpose.
The mole doesn’t have to actively sabotage right now, since the players are taking the money away all by themselves. The pot is a pitiful $16,000. :dubious:
Also, a number of the players are saying they suspect Dennis, and they would be out before Corbin if it were not Dennis.
Ok, I’ll admit to watching again this year. While Ahmad can’t hold a candle to Anderson Cooper (could you imagine Anderson dressing up in that outfit for the pinata party? And if he had, he would have found a way to make it seem slightly creepy), and I like the non-celeb version better, it’s still The Mole.
I’m aiming for Steven Baldwin as the Mole. He seems to be the most entertaining of the bunch, so I’m guessing the producers will want to keep him around to keep viewers interested. I am sorry to see Corbin go, since I love watching him go off the deep end as he dreams up more and more “clues” to the Mole’s identity. The candle bit was hilarious.
Curry is my candidate for TM so far. I’ve only chosen TM correctly once early on (Kathryn), so take that FWIW. I started to worry when he chose the pink pig pinata, since it ended up being the one with an exemption. Didn’t think TM would do something so obvious. Then I watched his reaction closely at elimination, and felt better again. Angie to me, looked the most stressed out of anyone. I thought Rodman’s relief at his green screen was pretty convincing as well. Curry’s seemed contrived. It does bug me though, that Curry wouldn’t look the other players in the eye during the first episode, when he was lying about his artifact. I actually thought it was in his favor to go the the water with Keshia in the first episode, though. I think the producers expected the players to go that far, but maybe not skinny dip. Like what happened the first season when Kathryn was the only player to peek at the production notes.
So, I am just like Corbin, heh. Or I’m on to something.
I only saw last night’s episode. What is up with Keisha Knight Pullman? Not much personality their huh? Pair her up with Rodman and you almost have half of a bad personality.
What was up with Dennis refusing the exemption?? Seems like he’s the one responsible for losing $50K on that task…
I think the Mole’s either Keisha or Tracey. Can’t explain why, except that those little sitcom girls always creeped me out anyway. Plus it would be hilarious if Tracey was the Mole and Corbin turns out to be right about the goldfish painting.
No, Keshia was the holdout for the exemption. She voted nobody gets the exemption. Decision had to be unanimous, right? Even after Ahmad said voting for nobody forfeits the money. Then at the end of the countdown, while everybody else was trying to talk, she boldly wasted the last 3 seconds saying the time was up.
Look how quiet she is. Remember how quiet Frederique was in the third season?
