The Mole (Australia Season 3) - Mole Sabotage and Hidden Clues

Mole Sabotage and Hidden Clues

Unlike the past two seasons, there was no extra episode dedicated to revealing the Mole, the clues and his/her acts of sabotage. Instead, they were revealed at the end of Episode 10.

Episode 1 Introduction: In the introduction where the players are first introduced, everyone was shown except Alaina, indicating that everyone who was shown was there to win money. Alaina replaced Janet in the episode two introduction.

Campout: Alaina convinced her group to go for the gear both times when the other groups both took one duffel bag and one voucher. Also, as the players suspected at the time, the Mole indeed took the other $1,000 voucher when the host came to collect them. Alaina took the second piece of paper from Bob's pack.

Snipers: Alaina made no attempt to shoot anyone in the laser shootout, and purposely tripped an alarm wire and lead Yasmin into a dead end so they'd be shot by Bob and David.

Gold Coast Shopping Spree: Alaina knew Yasmin would prefer the Bentley, but she insisted on picking the Lamborghini, costing $10,000.

Toughness: Both a sabotage and a clue, Alaina didn't supply the others with the correct answer to the question "Which car manufacturer has a black bull as its logo?" It was Lamborghini, just like the one she'd test-driven earlier that day. This contributed to the loss of $5,000.

Luggage Reclaim: Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina bought $1,000 from the kitty to get back the equipment she lost in the first episode of the season.

Episode 4 Teaser: Although not shown on the final segment, in the episode 4 teaser shown at the end of episode 3, Grant is heard saying: "Who is the Weakest Link?" and the contestants hold up signs saying "Joe". As Grant says "And who is The Mole?", Joe is shown holding up a sign saying "Alaina".

Cheating Test: Alaina tried to get Marc to read the folder in the greenroom that contained the questions and answers. Though Marc looked at the tab, he resisted the temptation, so the money from this assignment stood. Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina also did bomb a $2,000 question, breaking the team chain in the round she was eliminated, and, in her post-round interview said that the Mole's strategy would be to keep the weaker players on and try to keep as low as possible the amount of money that had been accumulated up to that point.

Charity: Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina did nothing in her charity activity, leaving Marc and Thao to do all the money raising.

Luggage Drop: Alaina asked locals for the wrong directions, deliberately misinterpreting Marc's SMS and costing the team $5,000. Also, although not shown on the final segment, Alaina also voted to have the luggage back, which incurred the loss of $5,000 from the team kitty.

Surveillance: Alaina displayed a little quick thinking here, taking the phone from Ann-Maree in the passenger seat when she threw it at her and, just for a moment, talking on it while driving. It was enough to get the $5,000 for the assignment revoked, and cast suspicion on Ann-Maree. During the computer quiz aired in that episode, Bob says that Ann-Maree is suspicious because, according to him, "the woman turns and can divide this group in a snap of her fingers".

Murder Game: Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina denied the group $5,000 by successfully solving the overnight murder and coming to the conclusion that Bob was the murderer, to which he admitted.

Bungee Jumping: Alaina jumped, but successfully talked Ann-Maree and Crystal-Rose into not jumping, costing $1,000 directly and a potential of another $4,000 that would have been won if everyone jumped.

Relative Bungee: Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina knew that her mother wouldn't jump, but predicted against that, costing another $1,000.

Photo Hunt: Alaina actually recognized Crystal-Rose within Movie World, but stopped Marc from walking straight toward her, keeping $5,000 from being won.

Bike the Mountain: The mishap Alaina had on the scooter was not deliberate, but she did milk it for as much time and drama as possible, nearly costing the assignment.

Stunt Driving Relay Race: Alaina was the only one to knock over any cones during the real run, costing $1,000.

Diamond Heist: Although not shown on the final segment, Alaina tripped an alarm wire attempting to steal the $1,000 diamond and told Ann-Maree to try to grab the $3,000 diamond as time was running out. This could have been $4,000 into the kitty.

The Eliminations: At the beginning of episode eight, each of the final five players (Alaina, Ann-Maree, Bob, Crystal-Rose, and Marc) had a confession talking about how nervous they were when seeing their names typed into the computer and how relieved they were when the green screen came up for them. However, Alaina was lying because her name was never once typed in during any of the eliminations.

Paragliding: After scoring a hit with her second water balloon, Alaina figured out that the proper technique was to drop it while hovering over top of the target. So, she told the others to throw the balloon at the target, ensuring that they'd miss.

Stadium Art: Ann-Maree and Bob both initially thought the drawing on the field was of a platypus, but Alaina convinced them to guess that it was a mole, costing $5,000.

Parachute Jumping: Alaina backed out of the solo jump, even though she desperately wanted to go through with it, after having greatly enjoyed the tandem jump. This cost another $5,000.

Trivia Card Game: Alaina, like Crystal-Rose and Marc, was given $5,000 in chips to start with. She bet $3,500, didn't win anything, but somehow had no chips left at the end of the assignment.
