The Mole Season 2.5: The First Challenge Part 3
Daniel: What are you glaring about, Brooke?
Roy: Yeah, hope it isn't anything serious.
Brooke: Stupid witchiepants over here.
Roy: Oh, him. Okay, carry on.
A: Yes, keep glaring. I would not want to miss out on that.
Nihm: Don't you have something better to do than laugh at everyone hating each other?
A: Not really, no.
Evie: What about the challenge stuff?
A: Oh, that! Right. I suppose I should get to that. Why don't we start with your group, Genevieve?
Evie: Please, it's Evie.
A: Whatever you say, Genevieve.
A: Now, you were very quick with your answer, unlike our other two Guessers. You seemed to know almost by instinct who was lying.
Evie: It really wasn't all that hard, to be honest.
A: You said that Zeus was the liar in the group, and that his statement, "I hate blondes," was false. Well, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that you are...
A: NOT correct.
Evie: What? But I was certain. Who was lying, then?
A: I think I will let him explain. Daniel?
Daniel: You see, while I am a master chef, and a pretty good fisherman on top of that, I am
not a gardener. I'll leave that to Nihm over here.
Evie: But you were mostly telling the truth!
A: But not entirely, I am afraid. Since Genevieve did not guess correctly, her group earns 0 out of 20 points.
Daniel's Interview
I am really sad that Evie couldn't correctly guess our statements. My statement was totally a false one. From my bio and comments, anyone can guess that I was saying wrong. The truth about me is that I work at the Bistro as Level 1 Kitchen Scullion. Indeed I am a fisherman, but I am not a gardener. My mother is the only gardener in our family. Our group didn't score any points today, but maybe we can in the coming challenge.
A: Let us move onto your group, shall we Maxi?
Maxi: Sure.
A: You were able to dismiss Brooke's statement as true very quickly, but the other two gave you a bit more trouble. You were not sure which of Nadine's parents were Elven, nor could you recall anything about Roy's scuba skills. Given the choice between the two of them, you chose Roy as the liar.
Maxi: Right, right.
A: Now, let us find out if you were right about that conclusion.
A: Unfortunately, you were not correct, either. Roy is indeed a talented Scuba diver, but Nadine's mother is as human as I am.
Roy: Sorry, Maxi. I'd have thought you with your extensive witch powers could've figured something out as simple as that.
Maxi: Hmm. Well, I was on the right track, I guess.
Brooke: OBJECTION!
Maxi's Interview
At first I thought Brooke was just plain crazy, but now I know she's crazy and feisty. Now that's two contestants that I don't like and don't like me.
But no one getting any points for the pot, now that's just rubbish. I expected at least one of us to be correct. I didnt know there were multiple Moles in this season...
A: Problem, Brooke?
Brooke: Yes, thank you very much! I want a different group! Someone who could actually figure stuff out!
A: You can't change groups, Brooke. Everything's locked in. You can't change it now just because it didn't work out.
Brooke: Why not? My whole group is the Mole, I can tell! Otherwise why'd they get it all wrong?
A: That is not possible, Brooke. Just saying.
Brooke: Well, fine! But I don't like you or that witch over there anymore. At least Evie's guess made sense!
Brooke's Interview
I can't believe this! Everyone was wrong? I mean, I thought I had one friend left? Well, at least Evie wasn't being stupid on purpose like some people. Who would have thought Lightning Man would hate any kind of woman? I have suspicions that that has something to do either with Hera or Aphrodite (or both) although I never pictured Hera blonde. Now, Alec's guess was just ridiculous. Why would you assume that someone had made Autumn Salad over the obvious fantasy of a three-legged dog? Who ever heard of a dog with only three legs? Nobody! That would be too sad, anyway. So I am mad at him. For once, I'm with Kalama on something--that should have been really obvious.
But I'm maddest at my group, the Mole Brothers. And Sister. First of all, I'm mad at Roy for coming up with Scuba Diving out of nowhere. That made it hard for Maxi to guess. Then, Nadine shouldn't have assumed that Maxi would know her life story (or do any research apparently) and should have made a more obvious lie, like 'I'm green'. And finally, Maxi should have done the research! It's not that hard to find out which parent was elven, the story is famous! It's on public record! It sounds to me like I'm the only one here who knows how to do this. And A won't even let me change groups. Well, I don't want to even be in a group anymore. Everyone else is the Mole. I'm going to have my own group for non-Moles and I'm the only one invited. A's the Mole too so he can't come. At least we have free time. I know what I'm going to do- put on my singing shoes and beeline to the karaoke. I need time away from these crazy people.
A: And now we proceed to our final group. Alec, why are your eyes closed? I hope you have not been sleeping on us, have you?
Alec: Of course not. I'm just worried about my guess.
Xander: You should be. What a train wreck!
A: Well, we will find out, one way or another. Will we not?
Alec: I suppose. Let's get this over with.
A: Like Maxi, you were able to take care of one of your statements fairly easily. You easily remembered that Sophie's dad was in the military, so her statement had to be true.
Xander: For once, that fool did something right.
A: However, you were not able to conclusively prove Kalama's story about her dog. Still, you thought it would be pretty odd for Nihm's only non-burnt meal to be peanut butter and jelly. Therefore, you decided that she must be the liar.
A: It's been a tough night for you guys, I am afraid. Nihm's statement is actually true, whereas Kalama's three-legged dog is merely fiction.
Kalama: Seriously, where would I have gotten a three-legged dog?
Alec: I don't know! You're crazy, who knows with you?
Xander:
She's the one that's crazy? Seriously?
Alec: Oh hush you!
Alec's Interview
Well, I tried my best. It really doesn't help that Kalama didn't elaborate about her childhood. Is that a tactical thing, or what?
But I guess all us guessers are in the same situation. We don't know each other very well at this stage of the challenge, which may be why we all made mistakes in our guesses.
I find Evie's tactic for this challenge strange. Why didn't she tell the rest of us how she deduced it? At least then she'd know where she went wrong and be able not to make that mistake in future.
My final thought is, Dan's got some teaching to do.
A: Well, I think you were all hoping for a better outcome for your first challenge. Since none of your Guessers correctly identified the false statement, no points have been added to the pot. Our Mole has been hard at work, it seems, though they may have had a bit of help.
Brooke: See! I could've been right? Right?
A: That's not what I meant. Anyway, I kind of feel bad for you guys. Instead of jumping straight to the Execution Quiz, I'll let you have the rest of the day for yourselves. Once night falls, though, it'll be time for one of you to leave us. Have fun!
Nihm's Interview
Come on, man! I made sure to pull something right from my intro so that Alec didn't have to worry about over-thinking my answer. Plus, my Watcher assures me that no sim animal can have 3 legs! Even with CC. It was such a gimme. Alec, if you're the mole, you're going to have to be a lot sneakier than that.
After learning the results of the First Challenge, two people are under my suspicion of being the Mole.
First is Evie, since she just blindly guessed who was wrong without even deducing who could be wrong or right. Next is Roy. Why would a contestant deliberately give a statement that was hard to guess? Roy hasn't even mentioned that he had the Scuba Diving skill at all.
Or I could be wrong and the Mole is quietly cooperating, for now.
