Seven Celebrities

The opening credits promise us seven celebrities, six weeks, and one winner who takes home up to $250,000. Which seems like a lot of money to me, but is that a lot of money to a celebrity? I say this pretending I don't know that the people on this show are not really celebrities. I mean, it's not like J.Lo and Ben are trying to catch sheep in this episode. One of the contestants, The Mole, is being paid to sabotage the game. The player who figures out who The Mole is and does the best job of tracking and remembering The Mole's every move will win.

Let's find out who the contestants are. The first is Stephen Baldwin. I slo-moed this opening sequence in case there was a clue, like last season. Don't worry; if there were, I wouldn't reveal it here. I would post it in the Spoiler thread on the forums. Anyway, it cracked me up, because underneath Stephen Baldwin's name was the word "brie," I'm assuming because he's so cheesy. You may know Stephen from his one good movie, The Usual Suspects, or one of his many crappy movies, like The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas . Or his boozy behavior. Or you may just know that he's that Baldwin brother. No, not Alec. No, not the one from Backdraft. That's Billy. No, not the one who was on Homicide (and on crack). That was Daniel. The other one. Yeah, the ugly blond one. You got it.

up is Frederique van der Wal, a Victoria's Secret model, who looks like a dude. Corbin Bernsen was in Major League and played Arnie Becker on L.A. Law. Kathy Griffin was on Suddenly Susan, but if you've never seen her do standup or on a talk show, you're really missing out. She is really vulgar and really hilarious, and she's not afraid to talk shit about other celebrities, which I always enjoy. Michael Boatman was on Arli$$ (sorry, dude) and Spin City. Erik von Detten was in The Princess Diaries and Dinotopia. I am clearly too old to have any clue who this dude is, but he kind of looks like a girl. ["When he was little, he was in that episode ofERwhere the kid got stuck in a pipe and almost drowned until Doug Ross saved him. But I forget if he was the drowned kid, or the drowned kid's brother." -- Wing Chun] I think Erik von Detten and Frederique accidentally changed genders. Kim Coles was on Living Single and In Living Color. She was? Okay, if you say so.

Hawaii. Ahmad Rashad welcomes the contestants. Fucking Ahmad Rashad. I feel a little bit bad, because he could be the best host ever and I would still hate him because he's not Anderson Cooper. Luckily for me, he totally sucks, so I don't have to feel bad for long. Ahmad tries to make a joke about the fact that Stephen Baldwin has a flower tucked behind his ear, but it totally falls flat, largely because neither of them could crack a joke if it were shaped like an egg. Ahmad asks if they are ready for the first game, and then instructs them to split up into two groups: four strong people and three people who just want to hang out. Corbin Bernsen immediately joins the strong group, followed by Kathy and Erik. He says they need another strong person, even though Michael appears to be part of their group. Kim volunteers to join, and Michael makes a "whatever" gesture and moves to the other group, with Frederique and Stephen. I notice that Stephen hangs back throughout. Clearly, the "hang out" group hasn't watched this show before, because if it sounds like you get the easy part that means you get the hard part. Ahmad tells them to follow him.

They arrive at a giant waterfall which I think has been used on both The Amazing Race and Road Rules before. Then again, there are a lot of waterfalls in Hawaii. Everyone talks about how scary it looks. Ahmad explains that each game is worth money; if they win the game, the money is added to the pot. At the end of the series, the winner gets the pot. Ahmad points out a zip line stretching across the waterfall. The members of the "hang out" group will each hang from that line. Hanging from another line is a moneybag worth $10,000. That line goes up over a pulley, and a bucket is attached to the other end. The person hanging out has to fill the bucket with water to raise the moneybag up out of the water. There are plastic pails stashed in various places around the waterfall. Kathy volunteers to be "the weakest, most useless participant in this game." Ahmad says that's not a category and Kathy hangs her head in mock disappointment. In an interview, Kathy says she was in shock, because she thought this would be celebrity Mole and they would play "fake-y celebrity easy half-games." She concludes, "This is ridiculous." In so many ways.

Ahmad explains that the strong players will be in two different locations. Three will be at the top of the falls, with two cranking the "hang out" player back and forth and one moving the player up and down with a joystick. The fourth player will be at the bottom of the waterfall, serving as a spotter and communicating with the others via a headset. After a long shot of the waterfall, Stephen Baldwin gets strapped into the harness first. He claims that Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't carry his jockstrap. Who would want to? Corbin jokes that they should put Stephen under the water and then ask him if he's The Mole. Then he cracks up really hard at his own joke. Kim laughs politely and Erik acts like he didn't hear it.

Ahmad says that Stephen has six minutes, and Stephen gets ready to go. Corbin and Erik are cranking the line, Kim is working the joystick, and Kathy is spotting. Stephen heads out to the waterfall and yells out commands. In an interview, Kim says that she enjoyed being the puppeteer. Stephen continues to yell out commands, though I doubt anyone can hear him over the roar of the water. He grabs an empty pail, but the weight of it tilts him forward until he is pretty much horizontal. When he starts to fill the pail, it pulls him over forward until he is hanging upside down. He somersaults around and ends up dumping out all of the water. He yells out, "Up!" Corbin and Erik repeat the command, as does Kim. Why is she saying it? She's the one who has to move him up. Stephen turns upside down again, and the falling water pummels his body. He manages to avoid spilling the water again and they move him away from the falls and towards the bucket. He dumps the water into the bucket, which is basically a garbage can with a hula skirt tied onto it. He drops his pail (I guess they can't use the same one twice) and they move him back toward the falls.

In an interview, Corbin says that Kim kept behaving in a suspect manner, and she had a problem with the joystick. He asks, "How hard is it to figure out? Am I the only one around here that has a brain?" Shut up, Corbin. And by the way, "Corbin" is a weird name. I never noticed it until I said just his first name without his last name. Corbin. Stephen gets underneath the waterfall and climbs up the rock wall to get a pail. Corbin yells at him that the purple pail is full. Um, dude? He's underneath a waterfall right now. I don't think he can hear you. Kathy tells them that Stephen has a pail. Stephen stands on the wall and fills the pail. Corbin yells out, "Taking too long, Mr. Mole." Shut up, Corbin. Stephen yells at them to bring him back to the bucket. He dumps in his water and raises the moneybag. They all cheer. Back on dry land, Stephen says, "I'm moist because you had both your hands around my throttle, Kim." Ew. Shut up, Stephen. Stephen holds his wrist up to the camera and shows a tiny scrape on his wrist saying something about "first blood." In an interview, Stephen says that it was tough, and he was "fighting hypothermia." Oh, shut up, Stephen. You were not, you wuss. Stephen tells the others that the water was going up his nose and he couldn't see the rock wall. Ahmad congratulates Stephen and says that they added $10,000 and had a time of 3:46. Ahmad says that is just under the world record. Shut up, Ahmad. They all think they are so funny, and they are so not. Except Kathy. She's funny.

Ahmad says they have a chance to win another $10,000. Frederique decides to go . Ahmad says that to win the money, she will have to beat Stephen's time, and that the four strong people have to all switch places. Stephen says, "I hope you're a screamer, Frederique." God, shut UP, Stephen. I hate him. Ahmad tells them to "play hard, players." Man, is he annoying.

Frederique gets strapped into the harness and prepares to go. In an interview, Frederique says that standing and waiting was nerve-wracking, and she was thinking about how she's a mom and maybe she shouldn't do it. Stephen tells Michael that Frederique has no idea what she's in for. I hope she beats his ass. Kathy and Corbin are on the crank, Erik has the joystick, and Kim is spotting. Frederique heads out. Stephen and Michael are totally helping Kim with the spotting, even though they don't have headphones on. Stephen just screams at the top of his lungs, which has got to be annoying for those around him. Frederique heads into the waterfall. Corbin yells to Erik to take her down, and he hits the joystick. She immediately flies upward. Hee! Michael Boatman is cracking up. Stephen keeps screaming, "Down!" Corbin yells that they need to take her in and tries to push the crank, but Kathy doesn't seem to be paying attention because she's focused on Frederique. They finally turn the crank. In an interview, Kathy says, "That was miserable because Bernsen yelled at me and he turned into super-veiny hockey dad. So that was really freaky. And then I had to stop for a minute and feel sorry for his wife." Ha! She makes my job easy. I just have to transcribe her comments. Frederique gets to a wall and tells them not to move her. She finds a pail and fills it up, and then they try to move her over to the bucket. Michael comments that she might have to make more than two trips. Corbin tells her to take her time and get all the water in the bucket. Frederique finally manages to dump her pail, but most of the water misses its target. And three minutes have already gone by.

They move her back to the waterfall. Frederique keeps yelling that she needs "some lead way." I guess she means leeway. Before she can unhook a pail that is hanging from a chain behind the waterfall, Corbin announces that she's ready and they start bringing her out. Frederique starts yelling in her native language in a high screechy voice. Kathy yells at Corbin that Frederique doesn't have the pail. Stephen yells, "What are you doing?" Frederique screeches some more. In an interview, Frederique says that she thinks Corbin was sabotaging it. They move her back to the waterfall, but time runs out before she can get another pail. Back on dry land, Frederique tells Michael that she couldn't reach the pail and needed some lead way. Kathy asks what she meant by "lead way," and Frederique clarifies that she needed to go down. So it was really Erik's fault. Hmm. Kathy says that they also pulled her away too fast. Frederique says that they wondered why she didn't go for a closer pail, and explains that she was trying to get a different pail that was already full of water. Ahmad strolls up and says that Michael is up , and will win the money if he can beat Stephen's time. The four strong people need to rotate again.

Michael gets into the harness. In an interview, Michael says that he was scared, and that he had a conversation with his wife before he left where he was told not to do certain stunts, so he was trying to figure out if he would get in trouble for doing this. Erik and Kim are cranking, Kathy has the joystick, and Corbin is spotting. Corbin yells out orders. It appears that Kathy has the joystick thing figured out quickly, unlike Erik. Michael immediately gets a pail and fills it. Kathy comments that she can't hear Corbin at all. Yeah, why does he have a headset but she doesn't get one? Michael fills the pail and they move him over to the bucket. He dumps his water and they move him back to the falls. After some trouble, he gets a pail and they move him back to the bucket. He times his water dumping really well, and the moneybag is raised out of the water in 2:22. Kim does a little dance and cheers, "Go Michael! Go Michael!" Back on dry land, everyone hugs Michael, who says that it's all about the team. Ahmad appears and tells them that they did well. He reveals Michael's time, and everyone cheers. Ahmad says that the pot stands at $20,000.

Ahmad then hands out the contestants' journals, small green books in which they can write down observations. Ahmad tells them to guard their journals carefully. As the players sit down and start writing in their journals, Ahmad voice-overs that the players can record information that might help them later in the quiz. The quiz scores determine who stays and who goes. In an interview, Kim says that she's going on intuition and observation, but she doesn't know what to take notes on. In an interview, Michael says that his suspicions shifted to Erik, because he is too quiet. In an interview, Corbin says that Kathy is his least favorite player, because she could be The Mole, or she could not care, but either way he's "not getting enough out of her." Shut up, Corbin. Don't be dissing my girl. Stephen points to the fingerprint logo on the front of his journal and says, "There's a clue right there." I think he's drunk.

The players ride in two vans to the Kahua Ranch. Ahmad voice-overs that the players started to get to know each other better. In other words, the players were contractually obliged to pretend they cared about each other. Ahmad asks the players to describe their most embarrassing moment, like, when did this show turn into YM? Frederique says that she was in a class and had to sneeze, but farted instead. Ahmad falls over laughing. Kathy comments, "The old standby: fart in class." She scribbles furiously in her journal. In an interview, Corbin says that he would have found Frederique's fart to be "delicious," which is not a word you usually employ when talking about gaseous emissions. At least I don't. Oh, and shut up, Corbin. Stephen tells this really long story about how he was in high school, and his girlfriend dropped him off at home, but first he convinced her to give him a blowjob. So his sister Jane discovered them and came out, pulled him out of the car, and beat him up in front of his girlfriend. No one is laughing at this point. They're just staring at him like, "The hell?" Stephen says that all of his brothers were high-fiving him and laughs at himself. Ew. Shut up, Stephen. Awkward silence falls over the group and Ahmad asks Kathy for her most embarrassing moment. Kathy says she was on Long Island. A couple of people interrupt her, and then she continues, "It was some guy I was blowing and his sister beat the shit out of him." Everyone dies laughing. Kathy continues, "I don't remember who it was. I remember the sister kicked his ass. I remember he was crying and then high-fiving his brothers and I got in my Dodge Dart and I got out of there." How can you not love her? She told a funny story, rescued an awkward situation, and made fun of Stephen all at the same time.

The players head to the game. They're all wearing matching Hawaiian shirts and black jeans, and they look like some messed-up version of the Beach Boys. Frederique voice-overs that they were all really happy walking up to the ranch. They approach a sheep pen. In an interview, Kim says that Ahmad was wearing "the hugest hat" she had ever seen, and that it was "as big as Texas." Ahmad is in fact wearing, like, a twenty-five-gallon cowboy hat. A sign over Ahmad's head says, "Baa Baa Black Jack." Ahmad says that they'll be playing blackjack, and shows them the oversized novelty cards he'll be using. I imagine there's a game-show wholesale warehouse somewhere that sells oversized playing cards, microphones that look like dildos, and Plinko chips. I would love to go there. Ahmad says that, instead of cards, the players will get to use sheep. Someone lets the sheep out, and we see that each sheep is wearing a little jacket with a suit and value on the back. The players laugh. Ahmad tells them to break into three teams of two and acknowledges that one person will be left out. Kathy grabs Michael right away. Corbin ends up with Kim. I guess Frederique pairs up with Erik, because they tell Ahmad that Stephen is the one left alone. Story of his life. Ahmad tells Stephen to join him. In an interview, Erik says that at first he didn't realize that there would be one person left over. Except that Ahmad said it. I guess Erik didn't have his listening ears on. Erik comments that Stephen didn't even try to find a partner, which is suspicious.

Ahmad gives them the rules of the game. He will deal himself a hand. Each team has to try to beat his hand by wrangling two sheep into their pen with a higher point total than Ahmad's cards. Each team that beats Ahmad adds $5000 to the pot. Ahmad has Stephen pick the cards. Stephen mugs shamelessly and picks a three and a jack, for a total of thirteen. Ahmad tells them to go, and a clock with three minutes on it starts counting down in the corner of the screen. Having never watched a reality show before that featured sheep wrangling (I can think of three off the top of my head, and one of them was on the first season of this show), they all start running at the sheep, which only makes the sheep run away. Everyone runs around. Corbin tries to be the boss, but no one listens, and that includes the sheep. Erik finally gets his hands on a sheep and wrestles it to his pen for nine points. Frederique shuts the pen. Corbin starts screaming that he's getting serious, and his face turns all red. The sheep totally fakes him out and he falls on the ground. Hee! Yay, sheep! Erik gets another sheep, but it runs away and he falls on the ground. In an interview, Michael says, "Corbin is falling. Erik is literally diving. Kathy is spinning and talking to herself and having some sort of Wonder Woman moment."

The sheep start jumping over each other like they're playing leapfrog, which freaks Kim out. Ahmad and Stephen are just laughing at the whole thing. Erik grabs another sheep and gets it into the pen, with an assist from Corbin, so they have a total of seventeen. Corbin gets a sheep into his own pen for ten points. They've given up all semblance of working in pairs, because Erik is trying to bring another sheep over to Corbin's pen since his own is already full, and Frederique is closing Corbin's gate for him. As time runs out, Corbin muscles another sheep over to his pen, but when Kim opens the gate for him, their first sheep escapes. Corbin accuses her of being The Mole, and then collapses to the ground. Ahmad announces that time is up. Corbin shows a scratch on his arm to the camera and says that he may need a tetanus shot. Girl, please. It's a tiny scratch. Don't be such a baby. Kim apologizes for letting the sheep out. In an interview, Corbin says he already suspected that Kim was The Mole, and her letting the sheep out only further confirmed it. Corbin gets his arm cleaned by some sort of medical personnel. What a baby. In an interview, Kim says she didn't mean to let the sheep out, but she couldn't exactly explain to the sheep what she wanted and she certainly wasn't going to touch it. In an interview, Michael says that at one point he looked at Kathy and she was herding nothing. We see footage of Kathy standing really far back from the sheep with her arms out. Hee!

Ahmad gives the results. Michael and Kathy got nothing. Corbin and Kim only had ten points. Frederique and Erik had seventeen, so they win $5000 for the pot. Ahmad says he's going to give them a chance to win more money. If they can beat Ahmad's hand, they will add $10,000 to the pot. Stephen pulls the cards, which add up to eleven. Frederique and Erik head back into the pen. Erik dives for a sheep worth ten points and misses. He eventually gets a different one worth ten and herds it into the pen, as Frederique closes the gate. Kathy and Michael are amazed at how good Erik is at this game. Well, Kathy, it does help if you, you know, touch the sheep. I say this with love. Erik tries to tackle another sheep and misses. In an interview, Corbin says that he enjoyed watching "Hansel and Gretel" herd the sheep, and that it made his arm feel better. Oh my God. He has a huge bandage on his arm. I've gotten worse scratches from my cats. Much worse. One sheep jumps right up into Erik's chest and falls back down. Erik finally grabs another sheep and gets it into the pen for a total of eighteen points. Everyone cheers. Ahmad says that they win the $10,000 so the pot is now at $35,000. In an interview, Erik says that his strategy coming in was to make people think he's The Mole so that they get quiz questions wrong and he will score higher than them. Erik adds that he found he was really trying on the sheep blackjack, so his strategy is changing. In other words, he's so dumb that he forgot he wasn't supposed to be trying. Because he is so, so dumb.

Ahmad reminds Stephen that he was left out. Stephen pretends to cry. Shut up, Stephen. Ahmad says he'll give Stephen a chance to double the winnings from this game to $30,000. They release another sheep into the pen -- the Mole sheep. This sheep has what looks like a black garbage bag around it, with stickers on it with the show's logo. So low-budget. Ahmad says that if Stephen captures that sheep, he'll get an exemption and can't be executed. If Stephen fails, they lose all the money from the game and no exemption will be given. Corbin asks if they lose the $15,000 that's already in the pot, and Ahmad says that they do. ["That's what Ahmad just told them. Corbin, you are a moron." -- Wing Chun] In an interview, Stephen says that the most interesting part of making his decision was checking out the faces of the other players. He adds that if he doesn't do it, he could be The Mole, but if he does it, he still could be The Mole. But he says it much more dramatically, though, because he's a ham.

Stephen strokes his chin as he pretends to think it over. In an interview, Stephen says that when he was singled out, he thought he might have a chance to do something, but didn't think it could earn him an exemption, so he felt powerful. For the first time in his life! Stephen stalls by asking a few questions, and then agrees to do it. Kathy yells , "Game on!" Stephen goes into the pen. First he goes through and closes all of the pens. The other players talk about how he must be The Mole. Stephen gets the Mole sheep alone and squats down and tries to call the sheep over. When that doesn't work, he just starts chasing the sheep around. He eventually grabs the Mole sheep and moves it over to a pen. Of course, he previously closed the gate. He reaches back and kicks the gate open with his foot, and puts the Mole sheep inside. Everyone cheers. Ahmad says that now $30,000 has been added to the pot for a total of $50,000, and Stephen has an exemption.

The players ride in vans to the hotel. Kathy, Kim, Michael, and Erik are in one van. Kathy says that Stephen was lucky to get a chance at an exemption with something he was already good at. Michael wonders if it was chance, because he noticed that Stephen didn't even try to find a partner for the game. In an interview, Michael says that he hasn't heard much about the Baldwin Ranch on Long Island, meaning that he was surprised at Stephen's herding skills. Michael recalls that when they were called out to the lawn to discuss embarrassing moments, Stephen didn't show up at first. Kim went to find him, and came out claiming that Stephen was asleep. Michael thinks that Stephen was actually getting advice on how to tackle sheep. Which doesn't really make sense, because that would mean the producers gave Stephen advice on how to put more money in the pot, which seems to go against his job if he were The Mole. Michael thinks that Stephen is The Mole. I think Stephen was drunk and sleeping it off, but that's just me.

Corbin, Stephen, and Frederique are in the other van. Stephen asks who The Mole is. Corbin says he has a pretty good idea. Stephen announces that no one in their van is The Mole. Corbin says something about a coalition. Stephen orders them to show him "how big [their] balls are" and say if they agree with him. See, I told you Frederique was a dude. Corbin agrees. Frederique says she would too. Stephen chuckles.

Erik asks the people in his van whether anyone seemed to be intentionally slacking in that game. Kathy says she's sure it seemed she was, and then jokes that pretty much everyone but Erik was. Kim thinks Erik was also suspect.

Over in the other van, Stephen says that something strange happened right when they first started. He is constantly smirking, which is another reason he bugs me. He says someone told him, "Call me in my room tonight." In an interview, Kathy says she tried to get Baldwin to meet her in her room. In an interview, Stephen says that Kathy "quote had to talk to me." Cut to Kathy saying, "And I swear to God, I think he thought I was gonna have sex with him." Cut to Stephen saying that it wasn't what Kathy said, but how she said it. Cut to Kathy imitating Stephen going, "Sure, babe, as long as you bring protection." Then she makes a face like, "Can you believe this asshole?" Cut to Stephen making a face like, "Can you believe how bad she wants me?" Stephen, laughing so hard he can barely speak, tells his van mates that he doesn't think the person in question is that smart. Oh, really Bio-Dome? In an interview, Kathy says that a coalition helps in this game, but it's hard because the chances of getting into a coalition with The Mole are one in five, especially when Stephen has an exemption. In the van, Stephen slurs, "This is the most important thing I wrote today." He turns his journal around to reveal that he has written in big letters, "There are no rules!" What a tool.

Night falls, and the players gather for the pre-execution dinner. Ahmad voice-overs that the players discussed the identity of The Mole. Michael says that it's not personal and it's not like they will dislike the person who turns out to be The Mole. Kathy pulls a face and Michael adds, "Except for Kathy." Kathy says very seriously, "No, it's personal. Okay?" She kind of starts to crack up and then puts her serious face back on. "Whoever is The Mole is on my list, and I am going to hate you forever." Stephen dies laughing. Nice sunglasses, dude. What are you, stoned? Color me shocked. Except not. In an interview, Kim says it's scary not knowing what's going to happen or who is The Mole. Kim tells the others that her strategy is, "Eenie meenie miney...Mole." Someone asks if they've noticed how quiet Erik is. Stephen asks why Erik was "so conservative all day and then so spunky around sheep." Kathy rolls her eyes at Stephen's lame attempt at a joke. Ahmad congratulates the players for earning $50,000 for the pot. He reminds them that the quiz is tonight and that Stephen has an exemption. Stephen stands up to Ahmad, like, sit down fool.

It's time for the quiz. You can find the questions at the official site. The quiz questions are interspersed with a series of interviews. Kim says that she's pretty sure The Mole is a guy, but then she wonders if it might be "[her] beloved Kathy." Corbin says he has suspicions about Kim because she let the sheep out, which caused his arm to get scratched up. Oh, my God. Drop the personal-injury lawsuit there, Corbin. He adds that Kim is at the top of his list. Erik says that when Frederique was on the line, she didn't seem to go for it for a pail even though it was within reach. Which she explained by saying that she wanted one that was already full. Kathy says that Corbin is the type of actor who may have made a decision to play a character from Minute One, "and his character is the super crazy tense guy." I hope he is playing a character, because then I wouldn't have to hate him so much. Kathy adds that she could be screwed because she doesn't think Corbin is The Mole, and he could be. I think Kathy is a lot how I would be in this game -- totally overthinking every move. Michael says that, from the start, Kathy was much more reserved than he's ever seen her, and he thought she might be nervous because she's The Mole and doesn't know what to do. Corbin says that the game is disconcerting. He adds, "It's sort of like life. Just when you think you have it figured out, don't try to make sense of it." What is this, Deep Thoughts by Corbin Bernsen?

The players file into the execution room and sit down. Ahmad welcomes them and says that he'll enter their name randomly into the computer. If the screen turns green, they get to stay, but if it turns red, they have been executed and must leave immediately. The first name is Frederique. Green screen. Ahmad says Kathy's name . Kathy says she doesn't have to go , and she's just trying to be polite. Everyone chuckles. Ahmad types in her name and the screen goes green. Phew! I don't know if I would have wanted to watch anymore if she were executed. Erik is up . The screen goes green. up is Corbin. Kim whispers that this is really hard, and it's horrible. Corbin smiles and waves at them all. Ahmad types in the name and the screen goes green. Stephen chuckles knowingly. Ahmad types in Kim's name...and the screen goes red. Aw, I liked her! Why couldn't it have been Corbin or Stephen? Kim stands to leave and waves goodbye to everyone.

Erik says he never suspected Kim as The Mole, so he feels like he's on the right track. Frederique says that Kim was a great sport with the sheep because she had just said that she hates animals. Corbin says that he had doubts about Kim, and he no longer does, which he thinks seems cold, but he also thinks it's true. Stephen thinks that Kim was a sweetheart but she's not as funny as Kathy. Everyone laughs. Ahmad asks Kim if she had fun, and she says she had a blast. Kathy says, "I didn't like her. I acted like I did. I didn't. [laughter] I'm kidding. I'm kidding because I'm absolutely going to miss her and we would get each other laughing so hard that we couldn't even breathe." Ahmad gives Kim a hug goodbye and she gets into the limo and takes off.

Each week, I'll tell you my Mole pick. This week, I have no clue, but I'm going with Michael Boatman. Kathy and Stephen both seem too obvious, and I don't think Erik or Frederique is smart enough to pull it off. I guess it could be Corbin but I hate him, so I won't pick him.

week: Stephen and Kathy argue. The contestants play underwater charades. Kathy "blows a fuse," and I think she was yelling at Stephen. Awesome. I support that wholeheartedly. An exemption causes an argument over dinner between Corbin and Stephen. I love when celebrities yell at each other, because they're all such drama queens.

Oh, and there's an extra tidbit after the credits. At dinner, Kathy yells at Stephen (who is sitting cross-legged in his chair), "Have you ever been in a restaurant before? You're sitting like you're in a sandbox. You have a hat on, and sunglasses. It's indoors and it's nighttime." Hee!
