Dammit!
qaqaq had me good and convinced that Alex was the Mole, especially when I watched the recap episode and saw two or three interviews with a house lit up to look like a big red A in the background. So now he's gone, which leaves me questioning my initial suspicion of Mark. I got a really insincere vibe from him in his early interviews about doing the game for his family. But with Monday night's episode, he could SO easily have sabotaged the wine challenge without drawing much suspicion to himself -- by tiring out faster on the treadmill, or by keeping quiet every time Nicole and Craig came up with wrong answers.
So now I'm wondering if it's Nicole, in which case she's been awfully obvious about sabotaging the game, but on the other hand, the footage from Monday's episode included a lingering shot of a wine barrel with her initial on it. Hmmmm.
By the way, I would have loved to be in Mark's place for that challenge. Solving brain teasers while running for an hour? Sign me up!
