The Mole (AU)
Episode 08 (3x9)
:
The first challenge - dropping water bombs onto a target from a paraglider, doesn't go well as only Alaina gets a hit. Bob, who was betting on the success, does better. Alaina, Bob & Ann-Maree have to take pictures to represent different letters of the alphabet (e.g. B=bridge, a Y shaped track in the road). The letters spell out BETRAY but Crystal-Rose and Marc, who have to guess what it is, don't get it right.
The three others also have to tell what Crystal and Marc have painted on a sports oval. While Ann-Maree thinks it is a platypus, Alaina convinces her and Bob it is a mole and they lose money. It was, in fact, a platypus.
As the contestants voice their suspicions, they fill out the questionnaire. Both Alaina and Marc are certain it is Crystal-Rose and Bob agrees with them but also thinks Alaina is a good suspect. Ann-Maree suspects Bob (whom Marc has ruled out) and Crystal is torn between Alaina and Marc although she suspects Marc more. Ann-Maree is the one eliminated, leaving four people in the running for the $79,000 they have accumulated so far.
So who is the Mole? The young Crystal-Rose who took a free pass over a lot of money for the team? The truck driver Bob who has shown through his actions he wants the money for his children? The lawyer Marc who has helped a bit but has also convinced others of false truths? Or the cunning Alaina who has the most audience suspicion? Next week, we will get closer to the truth...
