Five Celebrities

Previously on Celebrity Mole: Michael refused to jump off a cliff, which raised suspicions that he might be The Mole. Kathy and Erik formed a coalition, and Erik made a really stupid mistake. Or was it a mistake? Corbin refused to go with the group and allow Erik to have an exemption, which made Stephen angry. And then Stephen was executed.

Now that two people have been executed, the opening credits annoy me even more. Just cut out the people who have been executed! Although since some of the footage for this show was destroyed in a fire, maybe they need to keep the credits as long as possible to make up for any missing footage.

As always, we open with a series of interviews. Erik is shocked that Baldwin was executed. Michael doesn't know why he's still there. Kathy says she's starting from the beginning and has no idea who The Mole is. Frederique says it's heavy. Corbin says it's a stressful situation filled with emotion.

Big Island. Hawaii. The contestants arrive at Pohoa Bay, a lovely beach. Ahmad welcomes them. He looks hot and sweaty. There is $42,000 in the pot. Ahmad tells them to split up into two groups: one group of two people and one group of three. They just go with the way they were standing, so it ends up being Corbin and Erik in one group and Michael, Frederique, and Kathy in the other. Ahmad says that the group of two needs to designate one person as "a natural born leader" and the other as "someone who looks good on the beach." Corbin scratches his chin, really pondering which category is more appropriate for him. In an interview, Kathy says that Corbin shouldn't have hesitated; he should have just admitted that young Erik looks good on the beach. Corbin does finally admit it. Ahmad gives Corbin a captain's hat, and he gives Erik a lei, adding that he won't kiss Erik after putting it on him, as is Hawaiian tradition. Shut up, Ahmad. If you hadn't mentioned it, no one would have cared, but now you kind of look like a homophobic asshole. Plus, Erik's practically a girl anyway. Just kiss him, already! Ahmad points out the "offshore Mole account," which is an inner tube stacked with $30,000 in fake money and a flag. They have to retrieve the flag to get the money. They can't swim out; they need to construct a raft out of some junk on the beach, and it has to be big enough (and seaworthy enough) to hold their entire team. Erik's only job is to make smoothies for the rest of the team. That would be awesome! I would just make smoothies for myself, though. In an interview, Erik says he was disappointed to find out that he didn't get to help with the raft.

Ahmad says that they have thirty minutes, and then starts the clock. I have to take a second to point out Kathy's outfit. She's wearing a black sports bra, a long flowered skirt, and I think white high top sneakers. In case a basketball game breaks out on the beach. Oh, Kathy. Don't make me call Trinny and Susannah on you. In an interview, Kathy can wear whatever she freaking wants as she says, "I know Corbin's just in hog heaven, because he used to be a carpenter and you'd think he was Jesus with the 'I used to be a carpenter.'" Hee! Corbin orders his team to grab everything that could be a pole and set it to one side. He continues to yell out orders. In an interview, Kathy says, "Corbin turned back into Super Veiny Hockey Dad, but this week's episode was Super Veiny Hockey Dad Goes to the Beach." Corbin tells Kathy (who is holding a giant inflatable ball, for some reason) to get all of the rope she can from one pile. Kathy says she has to stretch first, which I assume is a reference to the giant ball she's holding or something. I don't know. At this point, I just laugh at everything she says. I'm easy. Meanwhile, Erik is scooping bananas into a blender. Corbin practically turns into the Incredible Hulk because he can't get a knot untied. Corbin Smash! Michael tells everyone that he found another term for "mole" on the internet: "Bartender of the animal kingdom." He made that up. Why would that be a term for "mole"?

Erik continues to serve as bartender to the celebrities. Ahmad uses a metal detector on the beach, and then walks up to Erik and offers him an exemption. Ahmad explains that Erik has to take a nearby kayak and retrieve the flag before the rest of his team to get an exemption. Erik asks if the money will still go into the pot. Ahmad says that it won't, and that the team will get nothing. Ahmad says that it's not that easy, because it costs $15 to rent the kayak. Erik says he doesn't have the money. Ahmad says that Erik needs to use the metal detector to find quarters in the sand, and that there are enough quarters to rent the kayak. Wow. That's sixty quarters. Ahmad calls for the cabana boy, and none other than Stephen Baldwin pops out. I really hope the producers made him do this, and that he didn't beg to come back on the show in any capacity. Because that would just be too pathetic for me to think about. In an interview, Erik says he thinks Stephen still wants to be part of the game. Baldwin mugs for the camera. In an interview, Erik says that he told himself that morning that he would take an exemption if one were offered, but that losing $30,000 is "pretty significant." I don't know why Erik bothers coming up with strategies, because he just discards them. Remember when his strategy was not to try very hard? And then remember the sheep-herding game? Exactly. Erik scratches his head and then decides to go for it. Ahmad says he has twenty-four minutes, but that he has to deliver the smoothies first.

Erik pours and delivers the smoothies, and then grabs the metal detector. Corbin and Michael carry the frame of their raft down to the shoreline. I immediately see a couple of problems with the raft, and they all have to do with the fact that they tried to make it look cool. Just build a flat raft and pile everyone on. Haven't they ever seen every other reality show where they go to boot camp and have to build a raft and it's all about teamwork and then one person discovers that working together really is the best way? Corbin asks Erik what he's doing. Erik quickly lies that he's looking for materials for the raft. Ahmad busts him and explains what Erik is really doing. I have to say that the members of the raft-building group do not look like they are in any hurry. Ahmad points out Stephen "Cabana Boy" Baldwin across the beach. Everyone looks disgusted and Corbin tells them to focus on the task at hand. Erik gives Stephen some quarters and orders him to count them. Hee! Stephen does. In an interview, Michael says that there were probably a lot of ways to configure the raft, but that none of them would work in a panic state. Corbin is in a panic state. Erik has $11.50. Baldwin tools around. Key word being "tools." The raft-building team decides to take the raft to the water and see if it will float. They all try to pile on, but it's already off-balance and sinking. Erik has found the $15, and he pushes the kayak out into the water. When they show Erik kayaking from a different angle, you can see the raft team hasn't even gotten in the water yet. Erik pulls up to the tube with the money and grabs the flag, earning an exemption. The rest of the players give up on their raft, which looks like it gave up on them about five minutes earlier. Frederique asks if Corbin was really a carpenter. In an interview, Frederique says that Corbin was misleading, because he should have been able to make something that would float.

We get a shot of the raft, and it looks like the problem is that the floatation barrels on the left side aren't attached firmly, or at all, or something. Corbin wants to conduct a post-mortem on what went wrong, but no one really cares. Michael points out that they never could have beat Erik, so the only way they could have won was if he refused the exemption. Erik paddles over to Ahmad, who I think is wearing Zubaz. Remember those? They were like genie pants for men, and usually came in an animal pattern, like zebra stripes? And then if you were really lucky, you could get them in your team colors? Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ahmad has a pair of those on. I hate him. Ahmad tells Erik that he's got a choice. Ahmad will put $60,000 in the pot if Erik will give back the exemption. Erik sighs and tries to look like he's "thinking." That's something he heard about in the movies.

Erik asks what Ahmad would do. What a dumb question. Ahmad says he's not in the game. Erik says he'll take the money. Ahmad clarifies that Erik won't get the exemption, which would guarantee him into the round. Hee! I wonder if Ahmad would have made that clarification with any other player. Erik says it's a lot of money, and that he's confident that he knows who The Mole is. Interesting. Does that mean that Kathy knows who The Mole is, too, since they have a coalition? Ahmad announces that the pot now stands at $102,000.

Back on the shore, Kathy struts into the water and tells everyone to look at her ass, which is...well, it looks like a normal person's ass, not a celebrity ass. She also wears her sneakers and socks (they're not high tops, as I had thought earlier) into the water. In an interview, Kathy says she was determined not to be seen on television in a bathing suit, but that she couldn't care less because it's too hot. She adds that her "cellulite was flying all over" and "here's the kicker: Corbin won't stop making the boat." Everyone else cools off in the water as Corbin flips the raft over to show them how they should have done it. Corbin marches out of the water and says that he's going to make it work because it's pissing him off. In an interview, Corbin says it had to cast some suspicions on him as the builder, since he couldn't get it done. Good! Let them be suspicious of you, if you're not The Mole. Let them throw some votes your way, and get themselves executed for it. Does he understand how the game works? Corbin gets the raft together, then sits on it and says this is what he was aiming for. And then the raft flips over backwards. Hee! That was awesome.

In an interview, Erik says that when he came back in to tell the others what happened, he wanted to test the waters and see how they would react if he took the exemption and lost the money. Erik explains the first offer Ahmad made. Kathy says she would have never taken an exemption, which is a bald-faced lie. Erik explains the second offer and admits that he didn't take the exemption. Kathy says that's definitely what she would have done. Frederique thinks it's cool. Corbin thanks Erik for "making it perfectly clear who The Mole is." I guess. I mean if Corbin were suspecting Erik and one other player, he might have just eliminated Erik from suspicion, because The Mole definitely would have taken the exemption to prevent the money from going in the pot. It's a way to sabotage without having it look like sabotage, since most players would want the exemption. Everyone thanks Erik, and he looks really disappointed that the other players aren't more appreciative of his sacrifice. In an interview, Erik says he thought the players would be more overjoyed and less suspicious. In an interview, Kathy says she was shocked that Erik took the money, because any other player would have taken the exemption. In an interview, Michael says that turning down the exemption made Erik look both less like The Mole and more like The Mole. I understand where Michael is coming from, because it does seem like you could spin any action in this game either way, but I really think it makes Erik look less like The Mole. In an interview, Frederique says it was honorable, but it adds something to her "Erik list." That he's a dumb-ass? Frederique walks out of the water, looking like the supermodel she is. Kathy notices and says, "Look at this one. Like I need that shit." Then she prances out of the water, imitating Frederique's gait.

Corbin tries to explain to Kathy what Erik's actions mean, but I don't even understand what he's talking about. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik is frustrated because he thinks they should all be happy, and she allows that they would have been furious if he had taken the exemption, and yet they weren't happy that he didn't. Corbin says to the group that Erik that gave up the exemption, but he can't be executed anyway if he's The Mole, so it's too "on-the-nose Mole-ish." Yeah, except for the part where $60,000 went into the pot. I think Erik should be happy that people think he's The Mole, if he isn't, but I think these people are overthinking it.

Corbin says he wants to have a conference with Erik, and they sit down on the sand. In an interview, Corbin says he's put out the offer of a coalition, but hasn't gotten anyone to agree. Corbin asks Erik who he thinks The Mole is right now. Don't tell him! Erik says he thinks it's Boatman. Corbin asks why. Erik doesn't answer. Corbin makes Erik draw a dollar sign in the sand, and he does so, using two vertical bars to cross the letter S. Corbin tells Erik to remember the moneybag from the waterfall game, and to draw the dollar sign that was on the bag. Erik does so, using only one vertical bar this time. I'm shocked that he remembers that. Corbin points out that Michael is on Arli$$ right now (so this was shot before the show was mercifully canceled), and that the last two letters are done using one vertical bar, like the moneybag. I am impressed that Corbin noticed that and made the connection, but I don't think it means anything. A computer keyboard uses one vertical bar. I think both versions are commonly accepted. I would attribute it more to a lazy PA making the bag than any conspiracy.

The players eat breakfast. Everyone else eats while Corbin writes in his journal. Ahmad voice-overs that the players try to relax, but their thoughts are on that night's execution. Michael says he's really worried about it, and jokes that if he could turn white as a sheet, he would. Kathy says she's not stressed out at all, and adds, "I'm sitting in my own diarrhea now." Erik dies laughing. Kathy notices and says, "It's been killing me that the kid doesn't laugh at my jokes. Am I not a funny, funny lady? I'm a funny lady. And I tell a diarrhea joke and he finally laughs for the first time." I think normally he just doesn't get her jokes, but everyone knows that poop is funny. In an interview, Frederique says that it was the first time that Erik laughed at one of Kathy's jokes, so maybe Kathy's not suspecting him anymore. Corbin asks everyone if they think The Mole still enjoys the games. Michael says he was wondering that about Corbin during the sheep-herding game, because he was "flinging [himself] all over." Michael decided that Corbin was either The Mole, or "a real hard-rocking intense guy and that's the way he plays." Kathy sarcastically asks if Michael really thinks Corbin might be intense. Corbin asks if he comes off as intense, and Frederique cracks up.

Ahmad appears and says he hopes they left some room, because it's time for their game. A woman walks out with a tray full of hot chili peppers. In an interview, Kathy says that her mind went to the "absolute worst-case scenario," like they might be "stuck in a barrel of hot peppers and have to eat [their] way out." I think the players should all be happy right now that Kathy is not one of the producers of the show. In an interview, Michael says that he loves hot food, but he knows he can only take so much, because his eyes water and he sweats and gets a jittery stomach.

The players walk into a room. On a table is a plastic maze containing five mice. In an interview, Corbin says that he thought that they would have to stick the mice in their mouths, or maybe they would have a choice to eat a pepper or a mouse. In an interview, Kathy says that they all got nauseated thinking about what the game might be. Ahmad explains that they each get to pick a mouse. The mouse will be released, and whichever door the mouse runs through will determine which pepper the player has to eat. Each pepper is worth $10,000. Ahmad will ask each player a pop-culture question. A correct answer means the player can either eat the pepper or pass it on to another player. An incorrect answer means the player has to eat the pepper for the money. Ahmad points out that each pepper is numbered from one to six. One means hot, and six means really, really, really hot. The name of the game is "Looky Looky Hot Pepper." That sounds like a Japanese videogame. Ahmad explains the name. The player must bite the pepper in the middle and chew, and when ready, the other players say "Looky looky!" and look at the chewed-up pepper before the player can swallow. I know the point is to make the player keep the pepper in his or her mouth longer, as well as disallow the player from swallowing the pepper whole, but the whole thing is kind of twee. I mean, "Looky looky"? Kathy asks if the game could be called "Trust Me, Trust Me, Hot Pepper," but Ahmad shoots her down. Ahmad announces that the best way to cool down a mouthful of hot pepper is with a glass of milk, and he will sell them each a glass, if they want one, for $1000 per glass. Ahmad jokes that it retails for $2000. Shut up, Ahmad. Why is he the host? If they do have another season, they really can't let him host again. My vote for the new host is Darwin from the last season. He has everything Ahmad has, and he's not a tool. And he's funny. And easy on the eyes. I'm just saying.

Corbin volunteers to go first. His question is: "What future Playboy model was born Vickie Lynn Hogan, then worked at Jim's Crispy Fried Chicken as she waited for her big break?" Duh! Anna Nicole Smith! It's right in the credits to her show. And mentioned in every article about her stupid show. To add insult to injury, they make the question multiple choice, and Corbin chooses "Pamela Anderson." Kathy totally knew the answer. Corbin chooses the mouse named Stripe, who runs right for the hottest pepper. Corbin picks out a hot pepper, tosses it in his mouth and chews it up. Everyone looks at the chewed-up pepper, and then Corbin swallows it and acts all macho.

Erik is up . His question: "What magazine did Brad Pitt sue for publishing nude photos of him in 1997?" Erik looks at Kathy, who can't help him. He immediately yells, "Vogue." Oh, dear. Yes, Vogue often publishes unauthorized nude pictures of celebrities. I mean, if he had at least guessed a tabloid, I would have had some respect for him. The answer is Playgirl. I don't think it's fair that Erik didn't get multiple choice like Corbin. Erik chooses the mouse named Grey Ghost. They try to call the mouse into the #1 pepper slot, but it goes for #4. In an interview, Erik says he doesn't even like non-spicy peppers, like bell peppers. Erik smells the pepper. In an interview, Kathy says that Erik told her he's "not a good spicy person." Erik takes a big bite of his pepper, chews, lets everyone look, and swallows. It takes him a while to swallow, but he manages.

Ahmad asks Corbin if he's doing okay. Corbin, because he's a big man, grabs another #6 pepper and pops it in his mouth. Corbin realizes that the second pepper was a little hotter than the first. Hee! What an asshole. Ahmad moves on to ask Michael his question: "Felicity was the first name of Heather Graham's character in the second Austin Powers movie. What was her last name?" How can you work in the entertainment industry and not know this? Kathy is dying that Michael doesn't know the answer. In an interview, Kathy says that she hasn't even seen the movie, but that she knows the answer. Me too! How could you have read even one magazine when that movie came out and not know it? Michael thinks it's something like "Schtupalot," but doesn't know. Ahmad asks if anyone else knows the answer, and Kathy yells, "Shagwell!" Ahmad says she's right, but Michael didn't know it, so he has to eat a pepper. Michael picks the mouse named Daphne, who runs to pepper #5. Ahmad reminds them that this is the second hottest pepper. Michael hesitates before taking a bite, and we go to commercial, wondering if he's going to complete the task.

In an interview, Michael says he decided that he was just going to eat the pepper as quickly as possible and ignore the pain. Michael takes a bite, chews, shows off his chewed pepper, and swallows. Kathy cheers him on. Frederique is up . Her question: "Which actor was cast, and then passed, on the Han Solo role in Star Wars before Harrison Ford?" She gets some choices: Tom Cruise, Burt Reynolds, or Tom Selleck. Okay, Tom Cruise is way too young, so he's out. Frederique thinks it's Burt Reynolds, and she's correct. She picks the mouse named Zero, who runs to the #3 pepper. Since she got the question right, Frederique has the option of eating the pepper herself or passing it on. In an interview, Frederique says she doesn't like spicy foods, and that she'd rather eat something weird than something spicy. Frederique says she's passing it on to Corbin, since he's the only one who didn't practically die. Corbin says he has learned that darker peppers aren't as mature, so they're not as hot. But couldn't it be possible that with some peppers, darker ones are more mature? Whatever, Corbin with your made-up maturity theory. Corbin picks out a pepper. Michael says he needs an emergency room; Ahmad offers him a thousand-dollar glass of milk, but Michael passes. I wonder if they can share milk. Like could they buy one glass, and each person gets a sip as needed? Because that's what I would do. Corbin bites his pepper, chews, and everyone looks. Corbin once again has to prove his manhood by taking three more bites of the pepper. What a douchebag. He swallows, and they are now adding $40,000 to the pot.

Kathy finally gets her turn. Her question: "Who was the first actress to be paid $1 Million for a movie?" Her choices are Mary Pickford, Elizabeth Taylor, or Meryl Streep. Kathy immediately says it's Elizabeth Taylor, and she's right. Kathy picks the mouse named Spooky, who goes to the #2 pepper. Ahmad says that she can eat it, or pass it on, and Kathy immediately says that she's not doing it. In an interview, Kathy says that she's not a spicy food eater at all, because she's "Irish, and bland, bland, bland." Kathy asks Corbin if he's up for it. Corbin asks if he can buy one glass of milk. Everyone says yes, except Erik, who points out that Corbin eats five bites when you only need to eat one, so if his mouth is hot, it's his own fault. Good point, Erik. But you need Corbin to do this, so let it go. Everyone overrules Erik. Corbin picks up his pepper and says it won't be a pleasant tomorrow. In an interview, Corbin says that he's a little worried for tomorrow because "today it's [his] forte, and tomorrow it's [his] fart-ay." Okay, I laughed at that. He's still a douche, though. Corbin bites his pepper, chews, they all look, and he swallows. Meanwhile, Michael is playing with the mice. Hee! Corbin asks for his glass of milk. Ahmad pours it, but Corbin only wants, like, an inch of milk. Oh, take the whole glass! It costs the same! I hate him. No one is impressed by your manhood, as proved by only needing one inch of milk. Ahmad announces that the total for this game is now $49,000, and the pot is up to $151,000. Everyone cheers.

Ahmad has a bonus. He'll add another $10,000 to the pot if each person eats one of the peppers he just pulled out from under the table. Corbin says he's in. Frederique says she won't do it. Ahmad ups the total to $20,000, but there are still holdouts. Ahmad ups the total to $25,000, and Kathy breaks rank and says she'll do it. Frederique is shocked. Ahmad reviews that four of them are willing to do it, but Frederique won't. Corbin tells Frederique that it's not that bad, and points out that he ate four peppers and he's fine. Corbin adds, "You don't eat, you're The Mole." Again, why would that be an incentive to eat? Don't you want other players to think you're The Mole? Unless she is The Mole. Hmm. Corbin tells Frederique to kiss him to see how hot it is and they jokingly pretend to kiss. Everyone says yes, except Frederique, who wants to know how hot the peppers are. Corbin tells her that the red ones aren't hot at all, because he's had them before. Frederique asks if they're setting her up. Corbin says it's called a tomato pepper, and he pronounces it "to-may-to." Corbin says that she's The Mole. In an interview, Michael says he's had a couple of reservations about Frederique, and her refusal to eat was suspect. Ahmad picks up one of the red peppers and bites into it, and suddenly Corbin is calling it "a to-mah-to pepper," like he realized he wasn't pronouncing it the pretentious way and changed in the last two minutes. What a tool. Ahmad says that it's sweet. Corbin hands one to Frederique and eats one himself. Frederique says he wasn't very convincing, and he really wasn't. He just kind of offhandedly mentioned it. Frederique takes a small bite. In an interview, Erik says that Frederique surprised him by not taking a bite for the money. Kathy takes a bite and pretends it's really hot. In an interview, Frederique says she didn't care about the money, because everyone else has lost money for the group, and she hasn't. Erik says he's disappointed, but Frederique doesn't care.

The players arrive at dinner, and Ahmad voice-overs that tension over the imminent execution is rising. Corbin decides that they all need to take a seat and then switch around so that The Mole can't take a specific seat. They all go along with his stupid idea, probably because they're scared that he'll burst a blood vessel if they don't. Kathy makes a face like, "He's losing it and I'm scared." Ahmad arrives and asks them all to pick a number. Corbin chooses seventeen, and Michael is all excited because he was going to say the same number, like, calm down there, Sparky. They settle on seventeen. Ahmad tells them to take out their journals, turn to page seventeen, and rip it out. Ahmad collects the pages and announces that he's going to read them aloud, and if the author of that page admits it, he'll give the page back. If the author doesn't admit it, Ahmad will keep it. The first page says "Moonster" and has a drawing. Frederique says that it actually says "Moonstone," and it's hers. Ahmad gives it back. Are they sure Ahmad knows how to read? Frederique says that the back was much more interesting. Ahmad moves onto the second page: "Jumping off of a thirty-five foot cliff?! I didn't do it but Erik wanted me to lie to the team about doing it. Why? What would be benefit..." Michael interrupts to admit that it's his, but Ahmad keeps reading, "...from deceiving the others? Nothing, other than getting me on his side. Is he The Mole, or does he just want me to think he is?" Kathy makes a face at Erik like, "What the hell was up with that?" She thinks Michael's writings sound like a Harlequin romance. Michael tells Ahmad to stop reading and give it back to him. Seriously. He didn't read that much of Frederique's page. Michael says it was thoroughly humiliating.

Ahmad moves on to the third page. He reads, "I hate everybody." Everyone laughs and seems to know that it's Kathy's. Ahmad continues, "The game is driving me crazy. I can't stand Frederique. Every day she comes out and looks so pretty, and I just can't stand it. Michael thinks he's just the tops. Corbin? A bully." Everyone laughs and Kathy thinks it's Erik's. Ahmad admits that it's Kathy's page and it's blank, so he just made some shit up. Kathy shows off the blank page. Corbin says that if she's The Mole, she's doing a very good job. Kathy agrees. Corbin wonders if the producers would want Kathy to be The Mole, because the audience would get tired of her after five nights. Bite your tongue! I'm already tired of you, and it's only been three. Kathy says, "Oooookay. Dear Journal. I hate everybody. Corbin's a bully." Everyone laughs.

Ahmad reads the fourth page. "One point five equals twenty percent. Twenty...five into a hundred? Twenty. Kathy, two thousand. Corbin, four thousand." Everyone looks confused. Erik admits that it's his. Michael says that it's the Mole-iest thing he's ever heard. Corbin asks Erik what his deal is. In an interview, Erik says that Ahmad picked a page where he had written some probability records. Michael calls Erik the "math Mole," and Erik offers up that it could be a decoy. Corbin says he wants to get to know Erik better.

Ahmad reads the final page, which is obviously Corbin's, so I don't know why they're bothering. It says, "Day three. Sunday. Frederique: blue top, brown belt, khaki shorts. Mike: green pants. Erik: red shirt. No Stephen in makeup." Corbin immediately says that it's not his. Michael points out that there's nobody else left. Corbin insists that it's not his. In an interview, Frederique says that Corbin could still be The Mole, even though he hasn't made a mistake yet, "but he's so into looking at everything that he's whacked." They never really resolve whether it's Corbin's page. My theory is that it was, but that Corbin wants to take every opportunity to play the mind game, so he pretended it wasn't. Ahmad announces that they won a lot of money that day, and that the pot is at $151,000. They all offer up a toast to whoever is executed.

Time for the quiz, which is accompanied by a series of interviews. Frederique says that Corbin was misleading in the raft game, because he was a carpenter and should have been able to come up with something floating in thirty minutes. Kathy says that Erik's exemption denial is weird, because any other player would have taken the exemption. Erik says that Frederique astounded him, because after turning down the bonus money in the pepper game, she took a bite of the pepper. Okay, "bite" might be a bit generous. She, like, barely sank her teeth into it to see if it was hot or not. Corbin says that Boatman was slow and strange in behavior while making the raft. This must be part of the footage that got burned in the fire, because usually they show a lot more interview footage during the quiz.

The players arrive for the execution. Ahmad gives them the red/green screen rundown. First up is Erik. Kathy takes his hand. Aw. He gets a green screen and cheers. Michael looks like he's going to puke. Kathy is , and thankgodfully gets a green screen. Michael goes and also gets a green screen. He cries with relief and says that this is brutal. Corbin looks really nervous. Frederique is , and she also gets the green screen. Everyone realizes this means Corbin is out. Ahmad goes through the formality of typing it in. Maybe this is like the journal thing, and he's going to deny that he's executed, even though he obviously is.

Corbin walks out and Erik says he misses Corbin already. Kathy says she can't believe that Corbin got executed, because he played the game every minute and had detailed notes. She says she would love to get her hands on his journal, no offense to the other players. Michael says he's freaked out, and with every execution he feels closer to an emotional breakdown. Corbin announces to the camera that he hates the game. Erik says he didn't think he'd miss him, but he does. Corbin says it's kind of a relief, and that he thinks the ratings will go down now. Girl, please. Like anyone is tuning in to see your tired L.A. Law ass. Kathy says she misses Corbin, because he was fun and always said weird stuff. Frederique says that, in the beginning, she thought he was losing his mind, and that he was overacting. Michael says that Corbin's falling down while chasing sheep was classic. Yes. Yes, it was. Even better was when he then insisted that he needed a tetanus shot and emergency care and a giant bandage for the tiny scratch on his arm. Kathy says that Corbin lost forty pounds that week, and that he will die if they don't tell him who The Mole is. Michael says they'll miss Corbin because he was their captain and leader, and offers up a salute. Corbin gets in the limo and pulls out.

week: They celebrities have to do hula dancing and surfing. Then there's a race and some weird guy grabs Frederique. What the hell was that?
