Whack-a-Mole: Nakedness and Fruit

Nicole vs Paul in the verbal diarrhea makes for a not-so-interesting start of the show. Yeah Nicole threatened his life, it was trash-talk taken a wee bit too far. It's stupid to take it seriously, and it's stupid for Paul to get away with tricking people by pretending to be afraid. Yawn.

Mission #1: Luge and fruit

The players had to go down an awesome steel luge with the speed controller blindfolded. Then they had to order locally grown fruit coinciding with the signs along the track.

Nicole may have openly lied to her partner while going down the track. Whether it was a screw-up or a lie is left up to interpretation, but what is clear is that doing so horribly was completely Nicole's fault.

Is an avocado pear shaped? I guess from afar at 45 mph it could be. That simple mistake puts a target on Bobby as the mole. Mark, Clay, and Bobby's coalition already broke up within 5 minutes of being introduced. Bobby's "avocado is a pear" mistake was the final nail in the coffin.

The team screwed up by talking after crossing the finish line and lost some fat cash, but still added a total of $26,000 to the pot.

Mission #2: Nakedness shows off your mole

I love the mission where the team is competing for their clothes. A fancy restaurant reservation awaited the teams that were willing to beg for clothes from the citizens of Santiago. The three hot chicks -- Kristen, Victoria, and Ali -- obviously got the most attention. Unfortunately they needed woman's clothes instead of marriage proposals.

Not a whole lot of mole action this mission, but $40,000 was added to the pot. During the execution, Ali left $30,000 richer and headed back home. Without her voluntary exit with the bribe money, she would have gone onto the next round, leaving Bobby to take the fall. Hooray, Bobby is gone and that's a good thing. His lack of physical ability was dragging down the whole show. The contestants who thought he was the mole must not have high hopes for the show, because he was just lame.

I didn't catch a lot of clues this episode. Nicole has some numerology clues about Bobby and was completely wrong since he was booted. I'd still have to say that Mark is the mole. He was quick to disrobe inside; after Clay dropped out of the competition, he took the opportunity to bail as well. That's a good way to build up coalition loyalty with Clay and keep another $5,000 out of the pot.
