The Mole (Australia Season 4) - Mole Sabotage and Hidden Clues

Mole Sabotage and Hidden Clues

Petrina was revealed to have sabotaged nearly every assignment with which she was involved.

Arrival Game: Petrina thought Shaun would be least likely to know the Melbourne GPO Postal Code offhand, so she purposely gave him the wrong answer and they were unable to open their safe, costing $1,000.

Parachute Safe: Petrina intentionally entered the wrong combination into her safe.

Petrina's Combination: The number given to Petrina as she jumped from the airplane was 5636, an anagram of 6653 which was shown twice, in the very first assignment of the season and the very last, to be telephone code for MOLE.

Dam Relay Race: Petrina needlessly exerted herself before going on the high wire, taking quick sharp breaths that spiked her heart rate.

Underwater: Although not shown on the final segment, Petrina was seen to accept duplicate pieces that Nikki found underwater, costing five minutes of time.

Photography: Though Cam took all the pictures, it was Petrina who handed the memory chip to the host for evaluation, and this sabotage cost the kitty over $10,000. She had been carrying a blank memory chip with her the entire day, and noted how the risk of this gambit was magnified when part of the assignment involved Cam having to wear her clothes.

Parking Lot: Petrina was instructed to quickly solve the easier car puzzle, to goad the others into taking the much harder one and gamble away their $5,000 winnings.

Hostage Rescue: Petrina knew that Josh was being held in a lighthouse, and that there were numerous lighthouses in the area. She convinced Cam and Kris to leave for the helipad twice when she knew they didn't have enough information to get to Josh. This cost the group $5,000, but Petrina very nearly gave the game away, because she had a note of instructions from show's producers tucked under the short denim skirt she was wearing that day, and in all the running around it nearly came loose.

Petrina's Elimination: This was planned all along and was not an improvised trick to try to get people to not suspect her - in fact, no one selected Petrina as the Mole on the quiz until after she was eliminated and returned.

Pull the Plug: Petrina purposely removed plugs from her own boat.

Underwater Charades: Although not shown on the final segment, Petrina insisted on digging up the wrong graves of several actors, losing $10,000.

The Note That Shaun Found: Shaun eventually figured out that the note was a fake, and based on the fact that only Kris and Petrina had been in the paddy wagon on the side where Shaun found it, and Kris was subsequently eliminated that episode, it had to be a fake.

Relative Parachute: Petrina knew that her dad would jump out of the plane, but predicted against that, and cost the kitty another $10,000.

Dam Treasure Hunt: Petrina intentionally missed her memory chip while abseiling, which cost the group $3,000.

Two Questions: Although not shown on the final segment, Petrina gave strange answers to the questions that Cam, Nathan and Shaun were to answer, costing $5,000.

Sports Champions: Petrina knew that the woman was the champion cricketer, and encouraged challenging her in that sport.

Helicopter Jigsaw: Even in the very last episode, Petrina wasted time, and by extension dollars, by sitting on jigsaw pieces after they retrieved them from the hotel swimming pool. This sabotage was cut short, as Shaun caught her in the act. This is one sabotage Shaun is believed to have picked up on.

The Rhyming Slang Challenge: The only way to see the bottles in the swimming pool was when the surface of the water was unbroken, and Petrina immediately jumped in the water and caused ripples that made it impossible to see, from above, where the bottles were.
