The Mole 5: Episode 7 Recap

July 21, 2008

PaulLast week on The Mole, players had to solve crazy brain teasers to help their teammates find wine bottles hidden in a huge vineyard.  With $70,000 added to the pot after that challenge, host Jon Kelley decided to throw each of the contestants off a nearby bridge.  Thankfully, they were tied to bungee cords before plunging hundreds of feet toward the rocky ground, but that didn't stop Craig from screaming like a madman and assuming he was going to die.  After imbibing a bit too much wine and failing the quiz about the mole, Alex was eliminated from the competition.

Tonight, the five remaining contestants are reunited with their families, but only after Jon makes them suffer to earn their reward.

The Mole 5: Episode 6 Recap

July 16, 2008

The MoleLast time on The Mole, deliciously evil host Jon Kelley chained the players together and forced them to participate in a dramatic trust exercise.  Mark was given a new journal to replace his flambéed original, but he simply couldn't learn to move on and love again.  For the second challenge, Craig was tasked with choosing vehicles for his teammates so they could go on a five mile journey to an Argentinian statue.  However, when he was offered an exemption if none of the players succeeded, he happily sabotaged them and forced his competitors to drop out.  At the end of the night, Kristen was executed for failing the quiz.

In this week's episode the six remaining players point fingers, jump off a bridge, run through a vineyard and bicker like crazy.

One-hour 'The Mole' Special Airs Monday Night on ABC

July 14, 2008

The MoleDespite renewed rumors that it just might face cancellation again, ABC's The Mole will showcase a recap of its first five episodes, along with never-before-seen footage, in a one-hour special called “The Mole: Take Another Look” airing 9pm Monday night on ABC.  Of course, episode 506 will immediately follow at 10pm.

Earlier, it was reported that (the increasingly thinning) fans of The Mole need not worry that their favorite show will be canceled.  Despite a dismal premiere and dwindling audience share, The Mole's fifth season is assured of completing its seven remaining episodes.  If it will be renewed for a sixth season, however, remains to be seen.

The Mole 5: Episode 5 Recap

June 30, 2008

Jon KelleyLast week on The Mole, the fifteen viewers still tuning in to the show watched as host Jon Kelley forced the contestants to carry gold bricks up a mountain.  Craig nearly died from hypothermia, but at least $14,250 was added to the pot for his troubles.  Later, Jon pulled a deliciously evil stunt by burning each player's journal on a giant bonfire, with only Craig and Alex's books escaping the flames.  Mark nearly threw himself into the ocean after this event, so distraught he was to lose all of his "I Heart Jon Kelley" scribblings.  After taking the quiz about the mole, Victoria was eliminated from the competition.

Tonight, the remaining contestants have to work together to escape the freezing cold, and one player finds out what it's like to be loathed.

The Mole 5: Episode 4 Recap

June 23, 2008

NicoleLast week on The Mole, host Jon Kelley thought it would be funny to steal everyone's clothes while they enjoyed a spa day.  He then challenged the contestants to roam the streets in their underwear, telling them to beg strangers for fancy duds so they could eat dinner at a black tie restaurant.  All of the challengers succeeded aside from Clay and Mark, who were too dignified to participate in the competition.  During the execution ceremony, Ali accepted Jon's offer to leave the show in exchange for $30,000, and weakling Bobby was eliminated for not knowing enough about the mole.

Tonight, the eight remaining players travel to the Andes Mountains for a torturous uphill climb.
