Spoiler:
I'm fairly confident that the mole is one of Erin, Aisha and Hillal.
We're pretty much on the same page!
Spoiler:
My #1 suspect is Hillal although I've seen other forums where everyone else is confident it isn't him. Erin is my #2 suspect.
If it isn't one of those 2 - I will be surprised. Alex was originally my top suspect but he's gone down quite a bit.
The only reason I've ruled out Aisha is because of "Mozzies quiz info" that Sam gave her.
Ally would surprise me the most.
I really don't think it's Nick because he made a coded journal which is something I did (as a non-mole player) when I played in real life once so people couldn't read what I wrote -- but this is something conceivable for the Mole to do to trick people... Although it was very impractical and I kept forgetting what my codes were... Lol
Top mole read is Hillall after the latest one. Just seemed overly helpful, I guess. Although I guess he could be just not a dick.
Also POE I think there are a lot that would somewhat surprise me, it's not Sam or Alex, they're whole game looks town versus town (to steal a mafia term). Don't really think it's Shaun either at this point, or Kerrie? Mozzie was a fairly obvous non mole too, I thinkjust given the way he was playing. I'd be shocked if Ally was the mole, I think the point about her being unstable is fair, actually <_<. I've no real read on Linda though at this point. Who am I forgetting? Erin, Aisha, Nick? I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
I've not picked up any clues, or stuff I thought could be clues yet, either
Spoiler: After Seeing the 7th Episode
Ya, I didn't know what to think of Linda either and has her in my top 4 potentials. But then she got eliminated. And Alex is drawing way too much suspiscion from the editing in this episode - so I'm thinking it might not be him.
Shaun and Kerrie are both in limbo for me. I really don't think it's either of them... But it's always a possibility. For Shaun: It's difficult to conceive why a player wouldn't look in the boxes though - for all he knew there could be a box with 1 Freebie in it (and I think there might have been a box with freebies of some sort) - I don't remember if someone took Exemption #7. Still better than nothing...

Spoiler:
Yeah, I'd be most shocked if it was Ally too, she's just an overly passionate contestant. Alex's suspicion of Sam and the way he treated him on the tightrope and in the exemption-chain challenge feels very legitimate and I think the way he's taking control is natural so I'd be surprised if it was him. Shaun isn't the mole, flat out no way, too many things he's done don't mesh with it. I don't think it's Nick for similar reasoning to you.
Kerries someone that's 'in-limbo' for me too, a lot of the time her reaction to things (For instance the library exemption-type challenge) really felt awkward and contrived and she'd fit in what the mole editing would want ie. "Most trusted player being the mole" even though I don't really get why she's being trusted to begin with. Oh and your point about Aishia not being the mole due to Mozzie's answers makes sense but the thing is I think Sam could easily have lied?
Spoiler:
I don't think Sam lied - I think technically Mozzie could have lied to Sam, but Sam didn't lie to Aisha because A: he had it written down ahead of time and B: if you're going to lie to someone what I would do is say "Mozzie split his quiz on A, B and C" where a-c are people I suspect most so that Aisha won't suspect them anymore. =P
Ok, I'm only 15 minutes into the episode and THE MOLE almost has to be...
Spoiler:
Erin
...
I'll laugh when at the Final Four she gets terminated and I'm left utterly shocked.
The train challenge further supports this Mole suspect. This suspect seems to KNOW THE RULES (she doesn't seem to question anything, asked a distracting question 'What did the last person have?', and the particular luggage this suspect =\ *had*) and isn't as panicked as everyone else is when the train first approaches
PS
Spoiler:
Kerrie seems to be the smart one that realizes it didn't matter what she did, the game was over the moment Erin didn't board the train >_>.
What Ally did in the Zip Line game is exactly what I would have down. And I disagree with what the other players said, it isn't a bad selfish for her to take them out of play so that they focus on money...
Sad that Alex left, he was my favourite contestant by far.
I'd have done Sam's idea in the challenge (ie. Smashing all of the personal benefits) since it's optimal to increase money in the pot an it's also optimal to prevent others from potentially attaining an advantage over you. Kind of surprised that people didn't understand that and got mad at Ally, really the argument that she's being selfish is shit considering for her 'turn' she asked for money in the pot and nothing for her.
I agree that Hillall town-told so to speak during the episode and happy rule him out now. I think Erins odds of being the mole increase a lot and I'm not sure what to make of Aishia anymore? I'd probably say it's either Erin or Kerrie right now (Seriously why are people ruling her out?)
Actually, you make a really good point.
"Why am I ruling Kerrie out"... Now that I think of it, I HAVE NO CLUE!
The one weird thing with her is: she was offered an exemption for half the pot in the very first episode. Later in that round that Exemption was taken away from her and put back up for grabs for anyone to take... I didn't see her seem overly upset or talk about it being unfair.
Literally, that chain challenge turned the half the pot into exemption thing into a lie. You'd think she'd be more upset about that...
But at this point I'll go with:
Spoiler:
#1 Erin, #2 Hillal, #3 Kerrie
Erin - Lots of things in the last episode: her plane incident, she had the key luggage and was in power to win or lose the train mission. Her slip in the second mission, which lost them money even though she stayed on >_>. Her personality seems like she could be the mole - nothing overly genuine from her.
For Hillal - I always choose the nice, unassuming guy as The Mole when I host, and people never get it right till the end... LOL. Plus, why would a *player* give his exemption away - for all he knows Aisha could have went home with his exemption in her hand... I don't get why he was excited after the train mission began and they left. They got their answer wrong in the plane challenge. He screwed up the hidden picture mission by stealing Shaun's answer. In the sand challenge, he literally put sand ON TOP of where it was supposed to be.
MAYBE Kerrie...
Shaun & Nick are on the probably not list. The last 3 are ruled out.
Sam is playing too hard to be the Mole. Aisha I think has been to genuine during parts. Ally is to emotional and is also my favorite ^_^.

Spend more time earning money and finding the fucking mole.
Spoiler:
I honestly believe it's Ally myself, ever since i watched the first episode and she walked through the hall like she was angry, then again when watching the most recent episode that i saw when Alex was terminated, her emotions just seem faked to be honest, and i think she is playing a very very smart game at this point, this is my theory as to why Alex was eliminated as well.
Due to Ally going up to Alex as she did asking for his help, i think he was too confident that it was definitely not her, which in my honest opinion was a bad move, but i haven't seen all the episodes so this is a bit meh
Spoiler:
I really really don't think it's Ally. That aside - when she was talking to Alex I DID have a gut feeling "does she really think this will work - or is she the Mole and this is a ploy so that Alex doesn't suspect her". It just seemed really off to me. >_<
As some of you may know; I've hosted 4 real life moles and played 2 of them. Sometimes when I'm bored I just come up with challenge ideas, twists, themes etc. I even have a little notebook with all my great ideas in then. ^_^
^^ weirdest hobby ever
...
And the challenge gambling freebies: ehhh what was the point of that? It seemed so silly and random to be completely honest ... >_>
Mind you someone i know noticed something, the host tapped the box with the exact number of cards he was holding at one point and this guy basically now believes she is the Mole because of it, i simply think he did it each time they just didn't show it.
I also had an inkling there was something he was doing each time that the contestant could pick up on. Maybe I only suspected this because I thought pure luck was silly. =P
I did read online that it only aired to a portion of Aussie on 7/31. Which explains the delay. The other portion doesn't get it aired till next week. Don't know if that means they'll go a week without a new episode.
Ehhhh, I don't like that auction... even though I tried it in one of my own live Mole games. I officially deem the auction the worst challenge idea/thing ever =[.
Memory of the epi start is bad, but my theory is that the person who threw their paddle during the last bidding item is the mole, they have no use to even get the item and the group had already shown they were greedy fucks, so they could basically trust that someone would buy the item for the top price, but fuck they lost all that fucking money.
That would be Ally.
I still think it's the person I've been thinking it was.

I kinda don't want to share because I wanna be smug later, but I will because I want to be proven right.

Shaun's the mole.

I want to know who you think ^_^. I have zero clue who you're referring to. XD.
A lot of eliminated people suspected Erin. Do they just suck at remembering things, or is it really Aisha?
Spoiler:
Ehhh - who specifically are you referring to? My guess is Ally changed her mind at some point AND/OR split her votes. Nick clearly didn't think it was Erin. It could just be that everyone else suspected Erin and were more confident with voting her than others. I think confidence level plays a big role. My #1 suspect could be spot on, but if I'm least confident (i.e., split my vote with my #2 and #3 suspect) I will still go home.
The "clues" for the mole to not go with the type of show they produced.
Obviously they picked the mole because of their name though.
Spoiler:
I think they just said "this was a clue" to fit the Mole... lol. The only big one was the postal code - the 4th person in the intro was a reference to the first clue in the first US Series though ^_^ (but they had multiple things with the #4 though).
My initial thought is that it's the radio host... but now I have no idea...
I thing the last "challenge" in Episode 2 was an awesome idea. Although the challenges overall (the theatre challenge, the laser challenge) haven't been that great yet... . And although the idea of them taking the exam first thing in episode 1 is interesting, I would fear it may give that person with the red screen TOO much information...
