Da Mole - 13, 21, 89, 144...Jazz Hands!
(Mark is the Mole)
So everyone who I have thought could be The Mole at one point or another (except Paul) is left. Imagine that. I don't think that there's ANY way that Paul is The Mole. Not bright enough, and wrong temperament.
The first mission had them divide into 2 teams, one with 3 and one with 2, and go out, find stuff, and count them to come up with numbers to enter into a computer when they got back.
Craig and Nicole were in "The Dumb Team" and had to come up with 5 sets of numbers, but to get those numbers, they had to do less hard math. Although, counting the orange tiles and the green lamp posts seemed pretty tough. Craig had mole-like behavior when he repeated a number wrong, and Nicole had mole-ish behavior when she came back from recounting the orange tiles with the wrong number.
Paul, Clay and The Mole, err, I mean Mark, were in "The Smart Team." While they only had to come up with 3 sets of numbers, they had much harder math to work there way to each answer. Clay showed mole-like behavior when he insisted on the wrong answer to one of their tasks. Paul gave off mole-ish behavior when he sent the team in the completely wrong direction to find their last problem to solve. Mark, aka The Mole, didn't seem to do anything to tip his hand at being The Mole.
The second mission had a player answer a series of questions asked by another player, then the player who asked the question was asked by Jon to answer 5 randomly chosen questions that the other player answered, and was supposed to correctly remember at least 3 of the 5 questions. As a reward, if the person remembered the questions correctly, the player who originally answered the questions would get to spend time with a loved one, and $10,000 would go into the pot. All 5 ended up getting reunited with their loved one. Mark and Clay got their wives, Paul got his wife and young daughter, Craig got his girlfriend, and Nicole got her mom. Paul showed Mole behavior here by passing on a bunch of questions, and Mark acted like The Mole by taking a long time to give his answers.
Nicole told her mom that nobody likes her and that she's been singled out since she's not only a woman but she's black. I nearly stopped watching. Nobody likes her because of her Omarosa attitude. Even her mom later called her Omarosa. Nicole has been pompous, arrogant, thinks she's funny when she's not, thinks she's smarter than everyone else, has been dismissive to others, and has tried to make people think that she's The Mole. To blame her "outsider" status on her gender and her race is almost criminal. There are plenty of people who are really discriminated against because of their gender and or race, and when people blame that for their situation when it just isn't the case mocks those who really are going through it, and makes others less likely to believe those who are. It's the "cry wolf" syndrome. While I wouldn't be surprised if Paul didn't like her because she's a woman, and since he also had an issue with Clay there might be a racial thing involved, I haven't seen that from anyone else who's left. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, Nicole said that she was going to throw the final quiz in order to get eliminated and go home with Mommy. Of course, she didn't do it and Clay was eliminated.
So, one more possible Mole is gone, and the one person who I don't think is The Mole, Paul, is still left. Craig, Nicole and Mark are still the best options to be The Mole. So, that probably means that Paul will be The Mole.
But he's not.
Mark is The Mole.

Good morning,
Craig is SOOOO the Mole! I'm more convinced than ever. He has really faded into the woodwork these last weeks and that is HIGHLY suspicious. Mark is so intense. Could that be an act? I honestly thought that if it wasn't Craig it was Alex...then you know what happened. So I thought well, if it isn't Craig (and I KNOW it is) that it was Clay. Well. You see how that turned out. It just can't be Paul. Could it? (CRAIG IS THE MOLE)

Mark is NOT the Mole. His performance on the treadmill last week proved that to me. He could have started to wilt and given up before it was over, but he didn't. And the way he writes everything down--he's NOT the Mole.
It may be Craig, although I do believe his physical problems are real because of his weight. His girl friend seems very nice.
How did a loudmouth like Paul rate a beauty like that? And the little girl is an angel. Maybe there's more to Paul than meets the eye.
I had picked Clay for The Mole. I was wrong. I guess I'll hop on the Craig bandwagon.

After last week I was leaning toward Clay with Craig after that, but now I definitely think Craig is the Mole. I think there is a chance it could be Paul, but I'm almost certain it isn't Mark or Nicole. Of course, I have been wrong every other week, so you are probably right and it is Mark.
