Six Celebrities

Previously on Celebrity Mole: Frederique screamed while hanging over a waterfall. Kathy Griffin cracked everyone up. Michael was no slouch in the laughs department. Kathy said that Erik was either young and stupid or The Mole. Stephen got an exemption, and Michael thought Stephen was The Mole. Kim was executed. During the credits, Ahmad asks who The Mole is before each celebrity's photo appears. But instead of just cutting out Kim after her execution, they still have her picture in there, and then they stamp it with the word "Executed." That was dumb. They should have just cut her out.

As usual, the episode begins with a series of interviews. Corbin holds his head and says that he's "on the scent of The Mole." I think The Mole probably smells like cheap aftershave. Stephen says that Erik can't be The Mole because he's an idiot. Takes one to know one. Erik gets right up close to the camera and says something stupid about making everyone think he's The Mole. Kathy calls her mom. Frederique speaks her native language. Stephen says that he could make Frederique a star. Wuh?

Big Island. Hawaii. The pot is at $50,000. The players eat breakfast. In an interview, Kathy says that she can't believe there's only been one execution, because she's constantly executing people in her head. She adds, "I get irritated with someone, and then I just execute them in my head." That's like when my brother was ten, and he used to fire members of his favorite football team when he felt they screwed up in a game. I remember one Sunday, he fired every member of the Dallas Cowboys including Tom Landry. Kathy eats something and proclaims it "crazy delicious," even though she's "not a big sausage lover." She immediately makes a gesture to Stephen like, "Don't even," but it's too late and he bursts out laughing. Stephen punches her on the shoulder and goes, "Get it?" No, Stephen, I don't. Why don't you explain it to me? Idiot. Kathy tells him not to do that shit, as Stephen continues to pretend to punch her. God, being around him is like having a little brother who's eternally eleven years old. Stephen apologizes. Kathy says that it bothers her, and that he "wouldn't do it to Freddy." In an interview, Kathy says that she's executed Stephen many times in her head, "and they're always bloody and gory." Me too, Kathy. Me too. In an interview, Stephen says that, in war, you have to keep your opponent confused and off-balance. Stephen massages Kathy's shoulders and then pretends to choke her. She sticks a pen in his hand. Hee! He calls her a sick wench. In an interview, Kathy says, "If Baldwin's executed, good riddance. Can't get him out of here fast enough." Stephen non-sequiturs, "Let's start slinging mud, baby." What is he even talking about?

Ahmad observes that everyone seems a little upright. Michael says they're "waiting for the ax to fall...again." Ahmad says that the game will take them back to the days when they had different kinds of jobs. Take them back? Am I supposed to believe that someone like Stephen Baldwin doesn't need a day job? Ahmad says that they could add up to $24,000 to the pot with the game. The contestants need to pair up so that there are two lifeguards, two short order cooks, and two flight attendants. Kathy and Frederique try to get dibs on the short order cook gig. Stephen condescendingly suggests that they be smart about this and figure out who knows how to swim. While he has a good idea, he's being really annoying about it, as usual, and also on this show, the job descriptions generally bear little resemblance to the task. So, for example, there's no guarantee that the lifeguards will need to swim. Erik says he can swim. Stephen asks who knows how to fly, and Corbin raises his hand and then high-fives Stephen, for no apparent reason. I really wish those two would have to fly a plane together and then it would crash. I don't want them to die. Just maybe be injured in such a way that they couldn't talk anymore. Ahmad says that Erik and Michael are the lifeguards, Kathy and Frederique are the short order cooks, and Stephen and Corbin are the flight attendants. Ahmad refers to Stephen and Corbin as "ladies," you know, because they're flight attendants. It's that kind of sophisticated, urbane humor that keeps me from missing Anderson Cooper as host. Except not.

Ahmad asks the flight attendants to follow him. Erik and Michael walk off. Michael isn't too sure about his role, and thinks maybe they should have been the short order cooks. Meanwhile, Stephen is totally reading Corbin's journal. The camera zooms in on the page, and Stephen tells the camera operator to get out of there. Corbin walks back out on the patio, and Stephen is totally busted, so he tries to run away. Stephen gives it back, explaining that he's only doing it because he knows that Corbin could really beat him up. Corbin asks for his pen. Stephen picks it up and pretends to throw it out in the yard. What a tool. Corbin walks over and Stephen runs away. Ahmad returns and says that he needs the flight attendants. Corbin and Stephen follow him out. Kathy tells them to be nice to everyone, even the people in Coach. Hee! As they walk out, Corbin mock-punches Stephen a few times. Stephen is so the youngest Baldwin, because he knows how to adopt a defensive position. I've been there many times myself, since I have an older brother. Kathy and Frederique bemoan the men's immaturity.

Ahmad returns and asks the women if they know what they'll be doing as short order cooks. Kathy guesses that they'll be making grilled cheese sandwiches. Ahmad says that, instead, they'll be walking across a hot bed of lava. Kathy gives him a look like, "Did he just say 'lava'?" We see some footage of flaming molten lava.

Cut to Ahmad telling the lifeguards that they'll have to jump off a forty-foot cliff. Erik is psyched.

Cut to Ahmad telling the flight attendants that they'll be on a biplane while it does aerial stunts. Both Stephen and Corbin are psyched.

Ahmad explains how the money will work. Each contestant has to predict whether the other five will complete their task or not. Each correct prediction puts $1,000 in the pot.

First up is Stephen, who gets into the back of the biplane. His job is to clean off the blackened instrument panel while the pilot executes barrel rolls and such. This seems kind of easy. I thought he'd have to crawl out on the wing or something, like Kalle did on Road Rules. That was awesome. The pilot takes off. In an interview, Stephen says the game is flipping him out, and that he was praying not to blow chunks. Stephen gets the go-ahead to begin cleaning. He wipes off the gauges and such. In an interview, Stephen says he felt delirious and was hanging on for dear life, but loving it. He really doesn't look like he's hanging on for dear life. Stephen successfully completes the task. In an interview, Stephen says, "I have had an absolutely fabulous experience here playing this game, but I think you guys time should go a little bit more easy." When I saw that, I thought that it must have been recorded after he was executed, based on the verb tense. The editors should be more careful about things like that.

The cliff divers are up . What about Corbin? Erik stands at the top of the cliff and contemplates his jump. In an interview, Erik says his intention was to jump as quickly as possible until he saw the water he'd be jumping into, which is quite rocky. An instructor shows Erik where to jump to avoid the rocks, and advises him on his timing so that waves don't hit him. In an interview, Erik says that he could go over the pros and cons of not jumping and what the other players would think, but his gut instinct is to jump. Erik sits on the rocks and breathes deeply as a clock counts down. I guess he has five minutes to do it. The instructor says that it's time. Erik leaps into the water. In an interview, Erik says it was thrilling, and that he'd do it ten more times. So Erik and Stephen have now successfully completed their jobs.

At the lava pit, Kathy gets ready to walk the lava pit. Ahmad pours some water onto the rocks, and it immediately steams up, in case you thought it was fake. The short order cooks have to walk across the hot rocks while carrying a plate, retrieve a chicken on the other side, and bring it back to Ahmad. In an interview, Kathy says, "Walking on hot rocks to get a chicken? I can go to a restaurant. A nice one. I make that kind of money." Kathy grabs the plate and makes her way over, "ooh"ing and "ouch"ing the whole way. She grabs a chicken with the tongs and puts it on her plate, then makes her way back. She succeeds. In an interview, Kathy says she could have died, easily. Well, "died"? That might be overstating it a bit. Blisters? Yes. Death? Not really.

Michael stands at the top of the cliff and prepares to jump. In an interview, Michael says that before he left, his wife told him not to jump off anything high, because he could fall back and break his neck, so while he was standing there, he heard his wife's voice. He also uses the word "literally" about three times in that short segment. Literally. Michael stands at the top of the cliff, and the instructor says that the longer he waits, the more difficult it will be. The instructor counts down, and Michael kind of makes like he's going to jump, but doesn't. He has four and a half minutes left.

Frederique gets ready to cross the hot rocks. Unlike Kathy, she runs. She also might have considered a sports bra for this task, because she is bouncing all over the place. She quickly gets the chicken and returns. Kathy cheers. So Frederique is successful.

Michael sits on top of the cliff. He voice-overs that he wanted to jump, because it's something he's always wanted to do, but he realized that the game is not whether or not he jumps. It's based on how the others voted. Michael stands there as time runs out and says he wants to do it, but he doesn't feel right in his head. See, now last week I thought he was The Mole, but his not jumping seems too Mole-y somehow, so now I think he's not The Mole. Then again, it is The Mole's job to keep money from going in the pot, and if he thinks that everyone predicted he'd do it, not jumping is a good way to keep the total take down.

Ahmad meets up with the entire group. Did I miss Corbin going? Ahmad reminds them that each correct prediction puts $1000 in the pot. Corbin wasn't able to go up in the plane due to bad weather. Bad weather? It was beautiful and sunny where Michael and Erik were. Ahmad asks Corbin if he would have done it, and he says he would have. Aw, that's horseshit. Ahmad asks how many predicted that Corbin would do it. Everyone but Stephen raises a hand, so they get $4000. up is Frederique, who completed her task. Everyone but Kathy thought she would, so that's another $4000. Kathy also successfully completed her task. Only Michael and Erik thought she would succeed, so that's $2000. Erik successfully completed his task, and everyone but Michael thought he would, so they add another $4000 to the pot. Michael is the only one who did not complete his task. Corbin looks shocked at the news. Erik is the only one to get that one right, which adds another $1000 to the pot. In an interview, Corbin says he knew Erik would do it because he's twenty and thinks he's invincible, but he thought Michael would do it too, and that's suspicious. In an interview, Kathy says that "Michael is very Mole-y." In fact, she thinks that "he's probably The Mole who was also afraid to jump off the cliff." Heh. That would be a great way to save face at the end of the game -- claim that he wanted to do it, but that his Mole job didn't allow it.

Finally, Stephen successfully completed his task. Michael didn't think he would. In an interview, Frederique says that not jumping is one thing, but not voting for Stephen to succeed was just dumb, and thus suspicious. Someone else didn't think Stephen would do it (but we're not shown whom), because Ahmad announces that they get $3000 more for the pot. Okay, I dont know where I screwed up the math, but Ahmad says that they only got $17,000 more total, and I had $18,000. But I'm sure they're right and I'm wrong. Anyway, the pot is now up to $67,000. Stephen confronts Michael about his performance (or lack thereof) in that last game. Michael tries to say that he was concerned about his family. Stephen says Michael's the only one who didn't add anything to the pot, which isn't really true. He did make some correct predictions, which added money to the pot. In an interview, Stephen says that if Michael is The Mole, there will be big problems. Ooh, I'm scared.

Ahmad and the contestants head out on the ocean in a boat to begin the game. In an interview, Kathy says she started feeling seasick and didn't have any medication, so she stared at Michael Boatman and made him her horizon. She concludes, "Either he thinks that I think he's The Mole or I have a crush on him." They show Kathy in the boat, gripping the railing and looking like she's about to die. The boat stops and Ahmad asks why they can see bubbles on the water. Corbin guesses that it's a sandbar, because you can faintly see a shape beneath the water. In an interview, Stephen says he figured they would have to put on weights, swim down to the sandbar and "make an omelet, who knows?" A submarine surfaces and everyone cheers. Ahmad says he needs two players to play charades, two to go on the submarine, and two to be gravediggers. Stephen immediately yells to Frederique, "You and me on the submarine." Ahmad says that the cast decided that Stephen and Frederique would go on the submarine (except that Stephen totally made that decision), Corbin and Michael would do charades, and Kathy and Erik would be gravediggers. In an interview, Kathy says she was thinking they would have to "scuba to the floor of the ocean and dig up fish bones."

Stephen and Frederique board the submarine, and it submerges. Oh, hell no. I am so claustrophobic that there is no way I could do that. Michael and Corbin don wet suits because they will be playing charades underwater at night. They get cards with five titles of TV shows and movies in which one of the characters died. Stephen and Frederique must guess the title and relay that information via two-way radio to Kathy and Erik, who are in a fake graveyard. Kathy and Erik then must figure out the name of the actor whose character died in that production, and dig up the coffin in the graveyard. $25,000 is hidden in one of the five coffins, and they have fifteen minutes for the whole task. Kathy asks Erik if he really wants her to help dig. Erik says yes, because once they find the stone, she won't have anything else to do. Kathy says, "Well, number one, I don't want to drop this [radio] or fuck this up in any way, and two, I don't want to get in your way where we end up, like, banging [shovels]." Erik tells her to set the radio on the headstone. Nice try, Kathy. I totally would have tried to get the buff young dude to do all the work, too.

The charades game begins. Michael pulls out his first card and it's a movie with four words. I can't really describe charades. I'm sorry. Suffice to say that it's not working out on either side. In an interview, Stephen says that Michael is trying to act like The Mole. He does kind of suck at this, intentionally or not. Finally, Stephen realizes that they aren't getting it and are taking up too much time, so he tells Corbin to start another title. In an interview, Stephen says that if you piss him off, he will retaliate. Corbin starts his movie title, which is two words. He acts out like a necklace and they figure out that the first word is "pearl." Frederique finally gets Pearl Harbor and Stephen radios it to Kathy. Erik and Kathy run through the graveyard with their flashlights. There's a quick shot of a grave that says "A. Cooper." Aw. Anderson. I love you! Come back! Erik and Kathy find Josh Hartnett's grave, and Kathy tells Erik to dig it out. In an interview, Kathy admits that she hadn't seen the movie. I did see it, and I still couldn't remember who died in it. I think I fell asleep. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik couldn't remember either. We see them dig up Josh Hartnett's grave. It doesn't take much digging before they reach the coffin. Erik pulls it out.

Stephen and Frederique tell Michael to start the title. In an interview, Kathy says that when they were taking out the coffin, Erik accidentally lifted the lid a little bit, so when they were waiting for the title, she asked him if the money was inside. We see Kathy ask him, and Erik leans over and whispers that there was a skeleton inside. Kathy says that's bad, and Erik confirms that there wasn't any money.

Michael is acting out a movie with three words. It's What Lies Beneath. Stephen radios it to Kathy. Erik immediately states that it's Michelle Pfeiffer. Man, I would suck at this game, because I had no clue. ["Plus, he's wrong: she lives." -- Wing Chun] The thing is (if you didn't see the episode) that they have graves for all of the main actors in the movie. So for Pearl Harbor, they had graves for Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, and for this one, they have Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. So just knowing who was in the movie isn't enough -- you really do have to know who died. Kathy loses her shovel for a second and then tells Erik that Harrison Ford is the one who dies in the movie. They search for the correct grave. In an interview, Kathy says (in probably my favorite quote from the episode), "I have moments where, it's not that I'm thinking the game is absurd. I'm thinking of how absurd it is that I am playing the game. I can't believe that I am in a graveyard with the kid from Dinotopia digging up Harrison Ford's grave. That's weird." It sure is. They find the correct grave and quickly dig it up.

Kathy tells the charades team to move on. Corbin acts out South Park and Stephen gets it and radios it to Kathy. He wonders, "Who died on South Park?" Come on, everyone knows that. Of course, someone else would say that everyone knows who died in the first two movies, and I didn't. Erik keeps yelling, "Who killed Kenny?" as he digs up the grave. The headstone has Kenny's name and then like every year, crossed out and a new year written in. Clever prop masters. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik went right to Kenny's grave and started doing a South Park voice. She says, "I think he started saying 'I'm gonna bring you back, Kenny' or 'Don't worry, Kenny.' All of a sudden, he was in a coalition with Kenny." As they continue to dig, Erik starts doing a Cartman voice. I'm a little worried about him. Erik drags the coffin out.

The charades team starts up again. They've gone back to the first movie that they couldn't get earlier. Stephen wants to pass, but they decide to stick it out. Back at the graveyard, Kathy asks who died "in the slow movie with Michelle Yeoh." Erik realizes she's talking about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. That Kathy is so smart -- she saw some of the names on the graves and figured out what movie might come up . Stephen finally gets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and radios it to Kathy. In an interview, Kathy says that she finally remembered that Chow Yun-Fat dies. Man, this episode is like one big spoiler if you haven't seen these movies. Or care. ["At least the producers had the consideration only to pick movies that have been out on video for over a year, so that most people who would be watching this and cared not to have the movies spoiled for them would have probably had a good chance to see the movies by now." -- Wing Chun] They dig up the grave and Erik drags the coffin out again.

Ahmad voice-overs that the teams have less than two minutes to figure out the final title and dig up the coffin. Michael has to act it out, and it's a movie title with two words. Stephen figures out that the second word is "beauty," but can't get American Beauty. He even gets to "Ame-- Beauty." The best part is when Michael tries to get them to figure out the third syllable in "American," and points to his dick. Hee! Anyway, time runs out before they finish. In an interview, Stephen says that if the goal of The Mole is to keep money out of the pot, Michael is in big trouble. In an interview, Corbin says that Michael could be The Mole, but he's not. Corbin finds it odd that Stephen, who is knowledgeable about films and was in The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey, couldn't get American Beauty. I do find that odd. I mean, they got the second word, and the first letter of the first word! How tough is it after that?

The contestants and Ahmad all assemble in the graveyard to open the coffins and find out whether any of them contains the money. Ahmad reminds us via voice-over that the players found four out of the five coffins. Corbin says that he thinks Kathy and Erik would have gotten American Beauty in about two seconds, and Kathy does get it. She did have the advantage of having seen the headstones for Annette Bening and Kevin Spacey, though. Ahmad opens the first and second coffins -- the ones belonging to Chow Yun-Fat and Kenny. Both contain only bones. Before opening the third, Ahmad tells them that they can take $5,000 right now or take their chances. In an interview, Frederique says that she wanted to take her chances. They decide to go for it. Ahmad opens the coffin belonging to Harrison Ford; it contains only bones and no money.

Ahmad pauses again before opening the last coffin. He says he'll give them $10,000 right now, or they can take their chances and hope that the $25,000 is in the final coffin -- Josh Hartnett's. Ahmad says that the gravediggers get the final say, but that they can all confer. Corbin thinks that Pearl Harbor is in Hawaii and so are they, so the money is probably in there. I think he's giving the producers a little too much credit. Erik says that he pulled Hartnett's coffin first, and it felt the heaviest. Kathy is looking at Erik like, "Hello! Remember?" Kathy says that it could also just be a box of bones. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik knew from when he inadvertently opened the coffin that it only contained bones, so she was psychically trying to tell him to take the $10,000. Stephen asks Kathy what she wants to do, and she says she wants to take the $10,000. Erik says he thinks there is $25,000 in there. What I can't figure out is if he forgot that he opened it, or if he thinks there might be bones and money in there, or if he's trying to pretend he's The Mole, or if he is The Mole, or if he's just that dumb. There are a lot of options.

Kathy says she wants to go on record as saying that they should have taken the guaranteed money. They decide to go for it, despite Kathy's objections. Frederique is kind of with Kathy, though. Ahmad asks for a final decision, and Erik says he wants to go for it. Corbin is still hung up on the Hawaii connection. Erik tells Ahmad to open the coffin, and Kathy is staring at Erik like she wants to kill him. Ahmad opens the coffin; there are only bones inside, of course. Erik even walks over to look and make sure. Kathy screams at Erik, "What is the matter with you?" and he runs away. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik saw there were only bones in there, and she wanted to kill him. Kathy yells at the other contestants, "The expression 'money in the bank' means money in the bank!" In an interview, Frederique says that the gravediggers were suspicious. Ahmad says that the money is in Kevin Spacey's coffin, and shows them. Ahmad announces that the pot remains at $67,000. In an interview, Erik says that he's been working with Kathy, and that it's a hidden coalition. In an interview, Kathy says that she took a second and thought that she must be in a coalition with The Mole. Kathy looks at the camera and says, "You all saw it." Erik looks at the camera and shrugs. Hmm. That whole thing was interesting. I don't think Erik is smart enough to pretend to be The Mole, but it's possible that Kathy told him to pretend in order to throw the other players off track. Or he could be The Mole.

The contestants arrive for dinner. Ahmad reviews what happened in the last game, and says he's sad that they didn't get any money, so he's going to give him a chance to win it now. He reminds them that there hasn't been an exemption offered yet. Ahmad says that he's going to give them an exemption to give out, but that they have to arrive at it by unanimous vote. If they can decide, they will also get $25,000 for the pot. But, if they don't decide, Ahmad will take $25,000 out of the pot. Ahmad gives them thirty minutes to decide. Corbin asks if they're allowed to discuss it. No, you just have to psychically connect and make a decision. Shut up, Corbin.

In an interview, Kathy says, "The dinner from hell began, and it was sooooo awesome." Stephen asks Kathy whom she wants to see get the exemption. Kathy says she wants it for herself. Erik says that he wants Kathy. Yeah, she's controlling him. I'm going with my theory that she instructed him on how to act like The Mole. Frederique votes for herself, as does Michael. Corbin says he wants Erik. In an interview, Kathy says now she's upset, because she had two votes, but now it's looking like it might go Erik's way. Stephen reviews the votes but doesn't reveal whom he wants to get the exemption. Michael asks Corbin why he chose Erik. Corbin says he wants someone who is difficult to figure out to get eliminated. In other words, Erik is simple. Stephen says, "Very calculating. Very sinister. Sick. I like it. I vote for Erik." Okay, he cracked me up with that one. Michael is with them, and so is Kathy. Frederique asks why they are voting for Erik, and sticks with voting for herself.

Suddenly, Corbin says that he's not doing it, and that he wants to take the money out of the pot so that he has a chance. Stephen confirms that Corbin is refusing to vote. He asks Frederique if she would change her vote to Erik in order to keep the money from coming out of the pot. She says she would. Stephen says that now everyone is willing to vote for Erik except Corbin. Corbin says the only person he'll vote for is himself. Stephen verifies that Corbin won't vote for Erik even though everyone else will. Corbin agrees. Ahmad says that they have seventeen minutes left to make a decision. Stephen sarcastically says that they shouldn't rush, and that they should eat their foie gras and hope that "Corbin has another psychotic episode and votes for Ahmad." Michael says that one of two things has to happen: they all vote for Corbin, or Corbin changes his mind. In an interview, Michael says that Corbin slowed the whole process down, which was a Mole-like thing to do. Corbin tells everyone that they might want him around, because he picks up on things and is willing to share them. Well, that's kind of condescending. In an interview, Frederique says that the group was pathetic.

Stephen says that he's the youngest of six and that he was picked on his whole life, so now that Corbin is trying to draw the exemption in a selfish way, he refuses to vote for Erik, too. In an interview, Kathy says, "I'm thinking, 'Oh, for God's sake, get over it." Baldwin's thirty-six. I really don't want to hear about getting beaten up by Alec Baldwin -- which doesn't sound like it'd be that bad, frankly." Stephen says he won't change his mind, and he'll bet anyone else another $25,000 out of his own pocket that he won't change his mind. Kathy was right; this is awesome. I mean, if I were there, I would be really annoyed, but I can't believe how idiotic these people can be. Kathy says, "Okay, you're on!" and then makes a face like, "I dont even know what the hell is happening here." Stephen theatrically says, "Dinner...is served." Corbin yells, "Bring it on!" Ahmad announces that they have two and a half minutes left. Kathy says, "This is the Griffin family Christmas. I'm going to make a lot of jokes, and then act like a lot of stuff didn't happen that did!" She pretends to laugh nervously.

As the players begin eating their dinner, Ahmad voice-overs that they have less than a minute to make a decision. Corbin says that he'll give them one last chance to vote for him. Michael asks if there is a reverse exemption to guarantee that Corbin will be kicked off tonight. Kathy quickly says that she'll vote for Michael, because she just wants to vote for somebody. Time runs out. Ahmad says that since they couldn't reach a decision, he's taking $25,000 out of the pot, which is now at $42,000. Corbin jokes that they now owe money and will have to go home and write a check. Ahmad offers up a toast and announces that they are all eligible to be executed this evening. That's not much of a toast. Stephen reminds him that The Mole is not eligible, and Ahmad agrees.

Quiz time. In a series of interviews, Corbin says that it all came together in the graveyard because Erik knew there were only bones in the coffin. Frederique says that Kathy could be The Mole because she's funny and pretends things. I don't know. She's foreign. Erik says that Stephen should have gotten American Beauty. Stephen says that Corbin is really good at the mind game, and that if Corbin is not The Mole, he's played the game very well.

The players file in and sit down to find out who has been executed. Ahmad gives them the green screen/red screen rundown. The first name is Kathy. Please, no. Please, no. Please, no. Whew! Green screen. I can relax now. Michael is , and he also gets the green screen. Corbin's name is typed in, and he gets the green screen. Stephen is up . As the music continues, I tell J-Dawg, "Oh, he's not getting executed because the music didn't change." And as I said the last word of the sentence, the screen went red. You'd think after two seasons of this show, I would have figured out that you can't predict it like that. Stephen is shocked. Actually, everyone is shocked. Stephen stands and puts on his sunglasses, then follows Ahmad out. In an interview, Stephen says that it's been awesome, and that it's the most fun he's ever had.

Michael says he'll miss Stephen's antics and spirit. Frederique says she'll miss when it's 2:00 AM and he would spout off some weird remark. Like that only happened at 2:00 AM. Erik says he'll miss Stephen's spontaneity, and that he was shocking. Corbin says it's been fun. Kathy looks at the camera and says, "He was a dick!" Everyone bursts out laughing. She continues, "Oh, my God. What an asshole! However, he's really, really funny and made me laugh really, really hard, and I have a big weakness for that. But what an asshole." In an interview, Stephen says he'll see Kathy on Howard Stern when this is all over. I think those two should take it on the road or something. Maybe he can guest-star on the new sitcom Kathy just got for NBC. God knows Baldwin needs the work.

My pick this week is still Michael Boatman. I know the cliff thing was a little over-the-top, but The Mole has to do something some time.

week: Corbin helps them build a raft and then tips it over and falls in the water. Erik has to make a tough decision, and Corbin thanks Erik for making it clear that he's The Mole. Ahmad reads pages from the player's journals, and Stephen makes a surprise appearance. I have a theory that the producers didn't want Baldwin back, but he just showed up and distracted everyone so they had to put him on camera.
