WRAP UP EPISODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, this isn't the ending that Mini Mole Season 3 deserved, nor was it the ending that I thought I would be making a year ago when I started this project. As everyone has experienced, 2020 and 2021 has thrown many curveballs at everyone and sadly I have been no exception this last year, which unfortunately has put a wrench in the creation of this show.
For many reasons, I have decided to cancel this season, but not without wrapping up a few loose ends and giving some insight into what has happened from the beginning of this game, and how I believe Mini Mole SHOULD have ended, had it continued.
In order to do that, we should probably start from the start! How about a quick recap!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE ONE:
In episode one, we met our amazing cast of characters... Madelon, Lawrence, Nicky, Glen, Angelica, Sharon, Hayden, Carlos, Tina and Everett! Honestly, these characters have been some of the best I have had the opportunity to write for! It was fun to find ways for them to interact, and even more so knowing that one of the ten of these players was...
...
THE MOLE
...
But who was that player, you ask?
Well, that's the hunt you've all been on!
...
Episode one saw the contestants locked in cages! Each person passing questions and answers to each other along from Madelon, at the top, all the way down two different paths to Sharon, at the bottom.
Some of these questions got a little confusing... some confronting... and others just nonsense!
The answers were a different question, ironically. Three people submitted incorrect answers by the time they got to Sharon. More information on who and how they were incorrect later!
By the time it got to the end, since all 10 question were not answered or guessed correctly, the pot stood at:
Players Kitty - $3,500
Moles Kitty - $6,500
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE TWO:
We met our first filming location! Oasis Springs Motel! A cheesy low quality motel, with a few reoccurring extras and a lot of places to hang out in public!
The main focus of this episode was the first quiz and elimination!
In episode one, there were only 6 questions about the identity of The Mole.
The lowest scorer of this, would be eliminated from the competition, as they knew least about the identity of The Mole.
However, there was a twist! In order to earn money, each player had to choose whether or not to take immunity OR see their screen and earn $500 for the group pot.
...
Four people chose to see their screen!
All of them safe from elimination. In fact, the person who scored the lowest scored only ONE point on the quiz, and subsequently saved themselves from instant elimination based on almost pure luck.
We will reveal and congratulate this lucky person soon!
As for everyone else, there were a few things to show from this episode.
Firstly...
Lawrence had the most suspicion on everyone's quizzes. Three people selected Lawrence as their top choice for The Mole.
Two people selected Sharon as their Mole.
Nicky, Madelon, Tina and Everett were all the top suspect by at least one person.
We'll keep a tally on this as we go!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 3:
Episode three was the start of a new challenge! A day of fun around the new motel location!
Each player had an envelope to hide somewhere in the precinct, each with a different dollar amount inside! Carlos had the most with $2500, and as you could guess, each of these numbers were selected by The Mole.
In fact, The Mole selected the list of people in a very specific order....
1. $2500 - Carlos
2. $1500 - Everett
3. $1000 - Glen
4. $750 - Madelon
5. $600 - Nicky
6. $400 - Sharon
7. $350 - Angelica
8. $250 - Hayden
9. $100 - Lawrence
10. $50 - Tina
The list is alphabetical. The first 6 people are the 6 people who chose NOT to see their screen in the last test, those who were more unsure of themselves.
While the last 4 were the four who DID see their screen, those who felt safe.
It was a good strategy to throw players off their track who were looking for suspects in the numbers, but did it work?
In the end, money was only found of three people's envelopes...
Hayden, Madelon and Carlos, which lost the group $3500! Was this because of player sabotage, or because of The Mole?
Players Kitty - $9,500
Moles Kitty - $8,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 4:
In episode four, it was time for the second quiz of the season! Only this time there was no where to hide and no way to be safe... Except for getting the questions correct, of course!
Unfortunately, after taking the quiz...
It was Nicky who got the red screen! Scoring the lowest score of the season, with a score of absolute ZERO on the quiz. Our first causality hit the hardest...
The main suspects of this quiz were close to quiz one, only this time both Tina and Lawrence received TWO top spot quiz placements of possibly being The Mole.
With only ONE placement each, Hayden, Nicky, Sharon and Madelon, were at least SOMEONES main suspect...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 5
Episode five featured a new location, a fancy schamncy restaurant...
... with clearly too many cooks in the kitchen...
So we sent some of them in pairs to go for a run and find some ingredients!
Some of them had infamous phone troubles, which caused a lot of tension for the rest of the series!
Others had ingredient mix ups! Or just gave the cooks the opposite of what they asked for! It was chaos... But the keen of eye could definitely keep track of some sneaky Mole business in this mix.
At the end of the ingredient gathering, 18/25 ingredients were correctly used for $200 each! Plus the Xtra Hot Sauce was used for bonus money!
The special guest judges tested the meals, and as it turned out Glen and Sharon's meals were absolutely delightful and earned the group great amounts of money...
While Madelon's meal results made not only the judges recoil in sadness, the group lost of lot of money, and Madelon lost a piece of her soul...
$3400 was added to the kitty from the winning meals, but unfortunately the Mole earnt themselves $2600.
Players Kitty - $12,900
Moles Kitty - $10,600
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 6:
Quiz number three! Once again, no one was safe and everyone was desperate not to be the second player out of the game.
Unfortunately for Everett, after taking the quiz and narrowly missing out on scoring enough to stay, he was eliminated.
But who was suspected? Well in fact...
Madelon, Tina and Hayden each were suspected TWO times each!
While Sharon and Carlos each were suspected only ONCE.
Even after three quizzes had been taken and suspects had been tallied. No one had put Angelica or Glen as their main suspects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 7:
Ah, yes. Prison. Definitely the most appropriate filming location for a television show. We definitely went there and naturally the inside of the prison was weirdly ominous and made no sense whatsoever!
An ominous red room with four intimidating overseers.
The ex-moles, whose job it was to determine which of the contestants were telling the truth and which were telling a lie and which were telling the truth!
Some were tasked to lie, or tell the truth about absolutely nothing...
Some were tasked to tell the truth or lie about EVERYTHING...
And for one contestant, for whom the stars aligned, found themselves with an offer of exemption from the quiz! For reference, the real life players picked a number from 1-8 as an order to go, and after The Mole selected which number the exemption would be hidden in. Tina was the lucky contestant, and won herself immunity from tomorrows quiz.
It wasn't just Tina who got lucky this episode. Glen found himself company with his brother who was recently out of hospital twin brother, Floyd.
This heartfelt and candid conversation brings up a very unfinished storyline for Glen... and leads us to another fun unfinished storyline for another contestant!
While some contestants had been lying about what they saw in their rooms, this episode...
All season, Glen had been hiding his career, and is one of two people who were pretending to be in a different profession.
Glen and Sharon had an interesting connection, relatively unspoken. They both work in law enforcement. While Sharon might have been a police officer, Glen was actually a Police Detective, while only being a Coach in his spare time.
Which leads us to another contestant who was ALSO hiding their main profession.
Due to her being prone to judgement from her peers, Madelon claimed in episode 1 and for a few episodes after that, that she was a Caterer. It's true she had aspirations of being on a wellness and culinary television show...
... Madelon was also a "Woohoo Worker", and was relatively self-employed which lead her to be able to choose her clients. She kept this a secret, but it definitely caused conflict in episode one with Carlos' remarks.
At the end of this episode, the group won $3000 thanks to Hayden, Sharon and Tina... But thanks to the failures of the other five, lost $5000 to The Mole, with the help of The Moles.
Players Kitty - $15,900
Moles Kitty - $15,600
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPISODE 8
Episode 8, means another elimination! This time, in a location. A fancy hotel as an upgrade because of the budget this year!
Exploration was at a maximum fun setting, and alliances were formed, but this episode featured yet another quiz!
Tina was this quiz's main suspect. She got the top place for TWO contestants!
Angelica, Madelon, Sharon, Hayden and Carlos were each only suspected ONE time, proving that as of this quiz, EVERYONE was a suspect...
Except for Glen, who until this point still hadn't been selected as The Mole on anyone's quiz...
Unfortunately for Hayden, this was the episode that ended his promise of victory...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since episode nine never aired, this is as far as we got. So we can check out the tally on who was the main suspect of the season...
With 7 quiz answers, the main suspect was Tina...
Followed by 5 suspected votes for Sharon, Madelon and Lawrence...
Four for Hayden...
Three for Carlos...
Two for Nicky...
One for both Angelica and Everett...
With Glen never being anyone's main suspect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since we now know who did what and have had our recap of the season, I guess it's time to reveal some truths of the season, including answering the question WHO IS THE MOLE and put out some speculations onto who MIGHT have won, had the season ran its course.
So without further ado...
It's time to answer the question we've all been dying to know!
WHO
IS
THE MOLE???

Nicky: Name's Nicky St. Clair. I'm 24. Been a DJ for about 4 years now and loving it. But would love to win this show and take home the biggest cash tip! I'd say I'm a bit of a night owl thanks to my work. So expect me up and about around the night. I can't wait to meet everyone. Who knows who I'll be getting along with.
???: Would you say you would make a good mole, Nicky?
Nicky: I guess we'll find out, won't we!
???: This is not how this interview works, Nicky.
Nicky: I would make a good mole, yes. I'm known for my ability to make people party, and I'm not just talking about my music.
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Nicky?
Nicky: ... Hell yeah! Let's do it!
???: I regret to inform you, Nicky. You are not this season's Mole.
Nicky: *sighs*... Okay...
...

Everett: The name’s Everett Cameron, I’m, uh, only 23, and I’m excited to be here. I’ve done a lot of different stuff leading up to this, but, uh, I’ve never been on tv, I’ve never caught a mole, an imposter, I mean, because I did have to leap at a real mole once when I was helping someone make their garden look nicer, plus whack-a-mole…getting off-track, my bad. I’m Everett, we covered the important stuff, let’s have fun!
???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Everett?
Everett: Well, I'm certainly, uh, well-travelled for my youth. I like, uh, I really know a lot of stuff and I've got some wits about me! The Mole would be someone who blends in with the group, and uses their strategy to seriously undermine the efforts. I think that I've, uh, got the skills to pay the bills. I could be an excellent mole.
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Everett?
Everett: ... Yeah, I would, actually.
???: Well, I regret to inform you, Everett. You are not this season's Mole.
Everett: Darn. That's alright. I'm going to go into this playing hard anyway. Just watch.

Hayden: Hayden Clay. I'm a cool dude from the city and work as a freelance graphic designer and program phone apps for fun. I'm loyal to a fault but if you mess with me you're going to get the bull cause I put up with nothing against me or mine. I've grown up playing video games, so you better bet that I'm in this game to win it. Watch out mole, I'm here.
???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Hayden?
Hayden: I'm competitive and I'll do anything to win. I'd be the kind of mole who would stop at nothing to get my way. I've got the brain of a gamer and the body of an athlete. As a mole, I'm a dangerous combination, know what I'm saying?
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Hayden?
Hayden: ... Bring it on, brother.
???: I regret to inform you, Hayden. You are not this season's Mole.
Hayden: All good, I guess. I'm in it to win it and ain't no mole gonna get in my way!

Glen: The name's Glen, Glen Harrison, I'm a dad of 3, I'm married to my beautiful wife Helen and I'm a kids Soccer Coach for the local under 12's team. It's not something I do professionally, just something I do in my spare time. I enjoy a wide variety of sports, not just soccer but baseball, hockey, football, watching TV, you know Superbowl and such and, well, drinking an ice-cold beer on the weekends... Jesus, this is starting to sound like a dating profile! Haha! What I'm saying is, I'm just your typical guy, I like to work out, I'm quite fit despite my age, I may be going grey but I'm not a senior yet! I hope to get to know everyone one to one and I look forward to catching that pesky Mole!
???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Glen?
Glen: I'm undoubtedly going to be cast as the "old guy" role, right? Has there ever been a mole my age? I'm sure even if there was, they wouldn't be as convincing a liar, as I was when I told you I was a Soccer Coach, would they? I'm a team player, and as a mole, I'd be beloved by the group for my efforts. It'd be perfect for undermining everyone. You name me Mole, consider it done.
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Glen?
Glen: ... I'm a bit of a team player, but sometimes you've gotta go your own way and have fun. I think I'd do a solid job.
???: We regret to inform you, Glen, that unfortunately you are NOT The Mole.
Glen: That's alright. Just means I'll be going for the prize money, eh.

Angelica: Hi, I am Angelica Rivers and come from Azcapotzalco, Mexico City. I am a singer and love to put my feelings into words. Yep, I’m also a poet.
???: Do you believe you would make a good mole, Angelica?
Angelica: I've never been one to lie, but I think I would be great at gaining trust. I've always been a listener, and someone people confide in. People trust in me. That's handy for a mole.
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Angelica?
Angelica: ... I think I'd be a really cheeky mole. I'd love to!
???: Unfortunately, you are NOT going to be this season's Mole.
Angelica: Okayyy... That's alright too.

???: And your job, Carlos?
Carlos: Fitness Instructor.
???: Do you believe you would make a good mole, Carlos?
Carlos: The best mole. Not just a good one, the best one. I've got all the strengths. Fitness. Charisma. Brains. Cunning. You couldn't outwit a mole like me.
???: Would you like to be The Mole, Carlos?
Carlos: ... Of course, I would.
???: Unforunately, Carlos, you are only a contestant this season. You are NOT The Mole.
Carlos: Hmmf...
