The Mole (Australia Season 1) - Episodes - Episode 4

Episode 4

Fishing Trip: The players first picked their two best Girl Guides - Jan and Linda. They were sent away to build a raft capable of supporting five people, which would figure into a later challenge. They could only use wood and rope. The remaining five were split into two groups and told to, among them, catch at least 8 kilograms of fish. Alan, Abby, and Ben went well out from the coastline to spearfish and hunt for crayfish and abalone, while Beverley and Josephine stayed in the calmer waters near the coastline of Strahan and hunted with a net inside a trout pen. Alan, Abby, and Ben all became extremely seasick on their trip, due to swells in the water and the stinking fish guts they had to use to bait their cray pots. They brought back less than 1 kilo of fish, but Beverley and Josephine found enough trout, which each weighed up to 2 kilos individually, to win the $5,000.

Night on an Island: After the fish was counted, the players boarded a yacht for a two-hour trip, and were informed that five of them were to spend the night on Sarah Island. The two spared were the ones who hadn't gone fishing, Jan and Linda. They'd enjoy a relaxing evening on the yacht with the host while the others had to rough it, with only the fish they'd caught in the previous challenge to be their food for the night. If all five of them stayed on the island until 6 AM the next morning, $10,000 would be won. The host gave the group of five a satellite phone, and if any of them wanted out, they could immediately call the host and be taken to the yacht. Furthermore, if anyone called, they'd win a free pass through to the next episode. Immediately after leaving the yacht and going on the island, the players devised to split the phone, with Alan keeping the handset and Ben keeping the battery, so no one could phone without everyone knowing. Though many of them were tired, some of them sick, and all of them but Beverley unwilling to eat the fish they caught themselves, they managed to win the challenge.

Raft Escape: The next morning, the five players on the island had to use the raft Jan and Linda had built while they were fishing to get from the island to the yacht. If they could make it to the yacht, 100 meters offshore, with none of them getting wet above the chest, they'd win $5,000. Beverley fell into the water almost immediately after the raft left the shore, with the others quickly following her, and the challenge was lost.
