After video clips of last week's episode, we're off and running again.
Heather: "I feel dirty, I've had the same clothes on."Katie: "I came across as being like 'Well, it's just a stuffed animal', well, my stuffed animal is...you know, when my friends watch this, there going to say, oh my God, that's Meadowmuffin."
Heather:If they're going to take our clothes away from us, they should at least give us some new clothes to wear. This is ridiculous."
Bribs: "Cruel game. Cruel, cruel game."
Katie: "For Meadowmuffin, man. It's all for Meadowmuffin now."
Anderson is nice enough to insult the players' smelliness as he meets them in Scuol, Switzerland. He promises them new clothes, but first, a game.
He tells them to select three players: the two women with the best fashion sense, and a man who needs some fashion advice.
Bill volunteers to be the "needs fashion advice". The group decides on Elavia and Dorothy for "best fashion sense".
Those three are told to go with Anderson to another part of the town, where we see ten absolutely humiliating outfits, each with a tag on them that says "$2000". Among them are a bikini bottom, a pink teddy, a bunny rabbit suit, and a corset.
Anderson explains that the three of them are to pick one outfit for each of the other ten players. Those ten players have to wear the outfits, find the train station, catch the 4:35 train to St. Moritz, and find their hotel there. For each player that successfully wears the outfit all the way to the hotel, $2,000 will be added to the pot. If any one player misses the train, no money will be added.
With 2 and a half hours until the train, Elavia, Dorothy, and Bill go about choosing outfits for their ten comrades. Once done, the ten are called in, two at a time, to put on their frocks, and go off to find the train station.
The first twosome, Myra and Patrick come in. Patrick gets the bikini bottom and Myra bares her midriff.
Anderson: "The Swiss are not ready for this at all." "Ali and Bribs, come on down, you're the next contestants on public humiliation!"
Ali is dressed inexplicably. Bribs gets the pink teddy.
Ali: "I knew that he would wear the pink teddy. He's all about the pink teddy."
Team three is Heather and Darwin. Heather wears a skimpy yellow dress accentuated by a "fondue" apron. Darwin gets the bunny suit, and they're off.
The next duo is Lisa and Rob. Lisa is dressed in a not-too-odd-looking green dress with a red boa.
Rob is far different.
Rob: "It was a woman's cow suit used during foreplay, it looked like. For a guy, who, like, had a cow fetish."
Complete with bells and cowprint skirt, Rob is off.
Meanwhile, Darwin and Heather resort to just saying "Choo! Choo!" to the locals to try and find the train station.
The last twosome is Al and Katie. Al gets the corset.
Al: "I'm thinking to myself, 'What are my girls going to think if put this thing on? "My wife and kids, they know me well enough to know that I'm a goof. And they'll know that this is a goof. What I didn't think about was the guys in the warehouse that work for me, and as I'm running down the street I'm thinking 'Oh my God, there's like 80 guys at the job that are going to give me a hard time here!'." "I had the presence of mind to pull my top up! I guess 'cuz I grew up with sisters, and I've seen the movies, and I've seen women do this, so I'm thinking 'Should I be pulling this up? Is something showing?'."
With 1 hour and 45 minutes till the train departure, all five teams have moderate difficulty finding the station.
Back at the first location, Dorothy, Elavia, and Bill get a special offer. They can double whatever money is won in this game if they wear a special outfit themselves.
It's basically a diaper with a bib, a pacifier, and a cute little hat.
They confer. Bill says he needs a drink. Elavia tries the bib on.
Dorothy: "The bib resembled a rectangular piece of cloth with a string around it."
Bill: "So I looked at that diaper and said 'That is sheer, and you can see through it.'"
Together they decide: "No way in hell!".
Bill: "I do have lines in the sand that I won't cross. I'm a retired admiral, and that's not a big deal, but it still means I represent the Navy and my family."
The three inform Anderson that they have declined the baby suit.
Elavia: "I just didn't feel that it was right for me to tell Bill, you know, a retired admiral, to wear a diaper in public."
With 1 hour and 13 minutes left, all thirteen players must now find the station.
Myra: "I like Patrick. He's open and honest, and he marches to his own drumbeat."
Patrick: "We both had the same idea. Establishing a coalition early on. I feel I can trust Myra more than anybody else, but she would be a fool, and I would be a fool to trust each other totally."
Heather and Darwin are shown walking around, and Anderson, munching on a sandwich, is there to say, "Hey bunny."
Man, that guy is everywhere!
Eight of the ten ridiculously dressed find each other in the streets.
Heather says she doesn't want to see Patrick. He hugs her anyway.
Conspicuous by their absences are Bribs and Ali.
With 35 minutes left, they are still missing.
Bribs and Ali are then shown enjoying a few cold ones in a local pub.
Heather: "So everybody's freezing cold in their skimpy little outfits, and we wait around and wait and wait and wait for about 45 minutes, and Bribs and Ali are nowhere to be found."
Patrick: "We send Bill and Lisa out to try to find them, with explicit instructions to be back within 15 minutes of the deadline."
Bill: "Lisa and I are going down the street, and we see Bribs and Ali." "They came out and said 'We just came out of a bar, we were having a ball'."
After just a moment of going down the street, Bribs and Ali are found. They give Bill a hard time about he being dressed normally and them decidedly not.
They tell Lisa and Bill what they've done, and actually take them back to the bar with them.
Darwin is seriously pissed off. He says this is the easiest game yet, and one of those four better be the Mole or this was just mean.
With about fifteen minutes left until the train departure, they return, with Bribs and Ali. Ali tells them that she and Bribs were offered exemptions to sabotage the test, and they are not getting on the train.
Katie, breathless(poor thing must have had to run ten feet) goes into the station and tells everyone there Ali's story.
Katie: "Some people were really mad. I mean, Darwin took off his bunny ears."
Elavia tells him to keep the ears on. For a few minutes, the group is fuming, until Bribs and Ali come in and literally yell "Psych!"
Bribs says that they are all taking the game too seriously.
Rob: "When I found out that they were lying, I was relieved of course, but their whole joke just backfired on them. It wasn't funny."
Al is offended by this. He tells Bribs he should have come to the station and check in, and then go out if he wanted to.
Al: "I said to him, 'You've never been to this train station by foot. You don't speak the language. You didn't even try to get there before you backtracked. Man, that burned my apple'."
Bribs tries to stay cool.
Bribs: "It was just pure genuine feelings. It was like, let's go out and have fun in Switzerland. Just enjoy it, you know."
They are really bitching at each other, all the more hilarious in that Al and Bribs are both wearing women's underwear.
Bribs: "Bars are going to have restrooms, obviously, so we went into the bar with the first intention of just going to the bathroom. As simple as it sounds, that was the only thing on our minds."
The argument continues on the train.
Bribs: "Looking back on it, I probably would have done the same thing, as far as waiting in the bar. Don't think anything was wrong with that."
Ali: "We were just kind of in a good mood. We just thought it would be funny. In retrospect, we should have thought about it, and thought about the repercussions."
Katie: "When the search party went to go find them, they concocted this plan together, but it's interesting that nobody remembers who concocted the plan."
Ali: "As far as the trick that we played, I just want to say that it was not solely me."
Heather: "Nobody will admit to coming up with the exemption idea. Everybody says they forget. Although the initial thing that Bribs told me was that Lisa decided to do that."
Katie: "I didn't think it was funny. In the least bit."
In the lobby of the hotel, Anderson greets the players and tells them that they successfully made it, earning $20,000 for the pot.
Except that Darwin took his bunny ears off, so he lost $2,000. They earn $18,000.
TEST PASSED- + $18,000 TOTAL - $78,000
He also informs the group that they could have earned more. Bill explains about the baby suit, and their declining it.
Rob: "I can understand maybe the girls not wanting to do that, but it was for the game, it was for money, and we all should have looked ridiculous together."
Darwin: "Their excuse didn't hold water, as far as I'm concerned."Al: "I think perhaps there was some influence by the Mole, to keep them from doubling our earnings."Anderson says they've asked for new clothes, so here they are. Their bags, which were not burned.
I thought so.
Anderson almost sounds disappointed to give them their stuff back.
Katie: "When I saw the bags come out in the lobby, it was just relief, because I really thought that the bags were burned."
Anderson says he did burn Katie's cow however. Just kidding!
Heather is elated to find her Bible.
Heather: "This is my Bible that my dad gave me, so I was really going to be upset if this had burned."
As is Al with his picture of his family.
Al: "I miss the wife. I miss the kids. I miss the hell out of them. Damn right I do."
He actually gets a little misty-eyed looking at the photo.
A few scenes of rooms are shown.
Bill: "I'm glad I'm rooming with Bribs right now, because Bribs understands. It should be fun, you should take all the advantage of it you can."
At a casino across the street from the hotel, Anderson, dressed to the nines, explains that they will have the chance to live the high life a little bit. He has, in his suit pocket, $20,000, taken from the pot. Tonight they can either double it, or lose it all.
He tells them to select four players: a gambler, someone with a cool head, someone good with numbers, and one selfish brat.
Darwin is the gambler, Lisa has the cool head, Rob is good with numbers, and Katie is the selfish brat.
The four of them go off to get dressed up. They come back in looking very nice.
The game is blackjack. $1,000 minimum bet. Each player has $5,000 in chips, for a total of $20,000. They have one hour to double their money to $40,000, or lose it all.
Katie: "The minimum bet is $1,000. I mean, that's more money than I've ever held in my hand. And to be playing with chips, and having $5,000, $6,000 in my hand, I mean, as a teacher, that's a lot of money!"
All four players win the first hand. Rob wins a lot of money in the next few hands. The total raises to $34,500. At that point, Katie splits threes. She busts them both.
Bill: "Katie told me she'd been in casinos all of her life." "Katie split threes at a point we were up $34,500, and if she hadn't split, we'd have been up to about $38,000."
Her bad luck spreads to the rest of the table, and slowly, all the money is lost.
TEST FAILED - -$20,000 TOTAL - $58,000
Rob: "So it's ups and downs. That's what gambling is. You cant really say 'I'll bet small and win every time, or I'll bet big and lose every time. Just that it's gambling, that's what it is."
Bribs: "Rob, I thought at first there was no way in hell he'd be the Mole, but the more and more I think about it, the more it's such a great possibility."
Ali: "At the very end when Rob had the most chips, he bet them all at one time instead of spreading it around, 'cuz we had a good half an hour to win back some money. It didn't bug me - it just made me suspicious."
At dinner, everyone has a few glasses of wine and has a really good time.
Dorothy: "My favorite player is Katie. She cracks me up with all her silly jokes."
In the kitchen, the cook is preparing desert, but it is no ordinary cake. It is the hook for the next game.
Patrick and Myra have a coalition. As do Darwin and Lisa.
Darwin: "Yeah, I have a coalition with Lisa. We attempt to influence people, and try and make them think the player we don't think is the Mole is the Mole."
Lisa: "At the beginning of the game, my strategy was to get to know as much about everybody as possible and to form coalitions, either formal or informal, with everybody."
And Katie and Heather.
Al: "Personally speaking, I don't have a coalition yet. I'm reluctant to do so, because I still trust myself more than I trust other people."One piece of cake is missing a blueberry. That piece is extra, and is the last one taken. Dorothy jumps at the chance to eat the last piece of cake, without the blueberry. She also eats it very quickly.
The players return to the hotel, under explicit orders not to leave their rooms.
Anderson goes to Dorothy and Lisa's room. Since Dorothy ate the piece of cake that did not have a blueberry, she and her roommate are offered exemptions from the next test.
In his lowest whisper, Anderson explains that if they can lure two players into their room, they will both earn exemptions.
They decide to go for it, and after some conferring to decide to try to get Darwin and Katie to come down.
Lisa calls Darwin's room. Patrick answers, and Lisa pretends to be the front desk until Darwin gets on the phone. She tells him she has something really important to tell him if he comes over to her room.
After a few minutes, Darwin still is not there. Lisa calls his room again, and Patrick says he went to the front desk.
Dorothy gets on and calls Katie's room. She asks if Katie has her backpack on her, and to bring over. Katie complies. Once in the room, Anderson shushes her.
The players had to know if they saw ol' Mr. Cooper, something was up.
Darwin calls their room from the front desk. Lisa tells him to come up to their room. A few minutes later he comes, and the tawdry plot is revealed.
Katie shouts "That's crap! That's crap!" and storms out of the room. Darwin is also peeved, but is a little cooler. He gets some real screwed up ideas about the last piece of cake.
Katie yells at Dorothy. Why me! Why not Elavia or Ali?
Dorothy and Lisa have earned exemptions and the group is fined for Darwin and Katie's departures.
FINE - -$2,000 TOTAL - $56,000
Darwin: "I mean, why would she be so excited about the last piece of cake and why would she eat it so fast, unless someone told her that this a set-up, or we're going to get you an exemption."
In retrospect, Lisa regrets luring Darwin in. And Dorothy regrets luring Katie in.
Dorothy: "I feel really bad that she's upset with me. I'm hoping that our connection will help her get over this."
Katie: "And it's hard, because, for me, I'm such a trustworthy person. She knew that I wouldn't hold it against her, but she also didn't know one of my biggest things about myself is that I hold a grudge for a very long time."
Lisa: "I wish that I would not have lured Darwin and asked him to come into our room last night, because I don't want Dorothy to know that I have a coalition with Darwin."
Darwin: "Presumably, Lisa and I are still a coalition. She's been rooming with Dorothy, so I'm assuming she's either pretending to form a coalition with Dorothy, or she is actually forming one, then trying to play me."
In their respective rooms, Darwin and Katie explain the plots to their respective roommates Patrick, Ali, and Elavia.
Darwin expounds upon some of his theories. Ali is annoyed and worried that two people got exemptions. Elavia doesn't believe a word of the story.
In the lobby, the next morning, Anderson asks the four people involved to explain. They refuse. Someone does.
Rob: "Be literal. Everybody be literal. You can't leave your room. You can't go into anyone else's room. What is so hard about that?"
Anderson says that the next quiz is to be that night.
Ali: "I'm so annoyed that two people got an exemption. Because to me, it means, oh my gosh, my chances just decreased, totally."
Rob: "I was thinking about, would I have taken the exemption? And honestly, I don't think I would have."
Elavia: "I'm very nervous about tonight's quiz. Basically, I'm just going to go in there and try and take it as fast as I possibly can."
Heather: "I am definitely feeling the stress. I never in a million years thought it would be this stressful. But it really is hard to differentiate between your real life and what's really important, and this game."
Rob: "I'm pretty confident at this stage. I think I'll be sticking around...hopefully. Now that I said that I probably won't."
It is time for the quiz.
1. During the clothesline game, the Mole wore which outfit?
Elavia: "At first, actually, I just really discounted Heather. Because I was her roommate. I felt she was just really sweet, and that’s the perfect cover for a Mole, someone who’s really sweet. She has a Bible in her bag."
2. What is the Mole’s occupation?
3.{Regarding the blueberry game} Which of the following did the Mole do last night?
4. During the first execution, where did the Mole sit?
Katie: "Darwin could definitely be the Mole. Because of his role in last night’s trickery with getting called out of a room as well as the blackjack."
5. What is the name of the Mole’s pet or pets?
6. At the start of dinner after the clothesline game, the Mole sat how many seats from Anderson?
Ali: "I thought that it looked fishy that Dorothy jumped at the chance at the last piece of cake, when she’s normally a pretty quiet girl."
7. What role did the Mole play in the high roller game?
Bribs: "Rob, you know, he put a $4,000 bet down twice." 
Darwin: "Bribs and Ali decided on their own that they wouldn’t go directly to the train station. They didn’t know, apparently it didn’t even cross their minds that we wouldn’t be doing the same thing, which is either a flat-out lie or the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard."
9. What is the number on the Mole’s journal?
10. Who is the Mole?
Now it is time for the execution. Click on the pictures below. If a green thumbprint appears, that player is still in the game. If a red thumbprint appears, that player has been executed and must leave immediately.
Dorothy and Lisa are not at risk.
Who is definitely NOT the Mole: Patrick, Myra, and Lisa.
Who may very well be the Mole: Dorothy, Katie, and Bribs.
