Liz was the mole’s next victim in The Mole 5 Episode 2. Bobby proved to be either really good or really bad, while Paul proved to just be obnoxious, giving Nicole a run for her money in that respect.
Following the death threat, there may be some lack of trust amongst the group, so this task is all about trust. Players must split into 5 players who trust blindly and 5 who can’t trust anybody. From those groups, players will form teams of two with someone from the opposite group. They’ll go on a bobsled with one blindfolded person receiving descriptions of some pictures from the non-blindfolded person behind them. When they get to the bottom, they must then identify the objects correctly.
Clay & Bobby: 5 out of 7 correct for $10,000
Paul & Ali: 5 out of 7 correct for $10,000
Craig & Victoria: 7 out of 7 correct for $14,000
Kristen & Mark: 7 out of 7 correct for $14,000
Alex & Nicole: 1 out of 7 correct for $2,000
Alex & Nicole are a little bit too suspicious. It’s not over yet, though. Clay & Bobby and Craig & Victoria broke the rules, talking after crossing the finish line, so their money doesn’t count.
Pot total: $89,000 out of $240,000
Clay is waivering in his trust of Bobby. Mark is also getting suspicious. Mark now trusts Clay and wants to use him to figure out Bobby. Clay, however, only trusts himself.
The players go to a spa. So where is the catch? They’ll find out when they’re done with their massages. Their clothes are missing. Now they’re left with just shoes and underpants. They must make it to a restaurant for dinner by 6:30 (just over 2 hours), but they’ll need to pass the dress code, which they can do by convincing people to give them the clothes off their backs. In addition to money being at stake, if they don’t make it to dinner, they don’t eat.
Clay and Mark decide to quit right away before the mission even starts.
Bobby, Nicole, and Craig are one of the teams of three, perhaps the oddest looking team of three ever. Nicole is first to be clothed. After some time, a theater group helps clothe them. They even get a shirt big enough for Craig. Now they need to find pants for Craig. At Bobby’s suggestion, they decide to head to the laundromat, which happens to be the same laundromat where everybody’s clothing is being dry cleaned. They arrive with moments to spare, and they’ve got everybody else’s clothes with them. So this time Bobby and Craig are the heroes.
Kristen, Ali, and Victoria look like Charlie’s Angels. They very quickly get a lot of attention. Whoever tries to clothe them is going to get beaten up. But that’s not a problem since everybody who sees them is drooling. To make matters worse, they have on what they refer to as hooker boots, which means their feet are killing them. Ali says she wants to give up. They eventually run into some American’s who give them shirts. After that, they meet up with a woman on her smoke break, and she’s got three bottoms for them. They are able to arrive on time.
Alex and Paul get some shirts from cab drivers and then some pants for Alex. Paul runs into a New Yorker who happens to have a spare pair of pants, which completes their wardrobe. They arrive at the restaurant first.
Aside from Clay and Mark, everybody completed the task, earning $40,000 for the group.
Pot total: $129,000 out of $290,000
At dinner, it’s time for Paul to fight with Mark. And Bobby. And Craig. And Nicole. Any more takers?
Nicole suspects Bobby. Victoria suspects Ali. Clay suspects everybody. Paul thinks the last group arriving with everybody’s clothes is way too fishy.
Unlike last week, nobody is exempt, but an offer is on the table. If somebody leaves the game now, they get $20,000. Nobody is interested.
Kristen is safe.
Mark is safe.
Victoria is safe.
After telling Victoria it’s too late to take the money, Jon raises the offer to $30,000. Ali takes it and is out of the game. She would have been safe. There’s still an execution to get through.
Alex is safe.
Bobby is eliminated.
