Ryan Is Gone

Ryan, now, that was unexepected. Honestly, this is the first time I am shocked at an execution, more so that you were gone and not me...Anyways, I have been delaying this post for as long as I could, because, I guess we never really saw eye to eye lol.

Ever since you had a go at me, I think way back in episode 3, I never well, really got along with you and choose to spoke to you on very few occasions. I purposely didnt give you the virus just so hopefully you could have it much later in the game (in theorey :P) and so should I make it there to, I'd have a much better shot...I think I have to apologise for holding a grudge, but mole games make things more personal then other games I guess.

It seems that a few other people suspect what I did, I wasnt there at the funhouse but from I gather and obviously they did to, you did things unnecessarily, alls well and good if you are pretending to be the mole, but why pretend to be the mole secretly? Its just a conincidence that we found out I guess.

Saying all that though. You were a brilliant player, no matter what I or anyone else say, you did play this game well, and I was glad that I got to play with you, albeit the nonexistant chats we had :P So, goodluck in other games and see you soon :D

Round #6 Confessional

This round was interesting, yes you could look at it from a money pot scenario, yes we did lose money and thats certainly not good, however...it was interesting in the intergroup...(how do I put it)...politics. You could clearly see that people couldnt care less about coalitions they had before, how quickly they were to stab the person next to them, and although that should be saddening, it clearly shouts out for everyone to hear...game on.

So the idol challenge, certainly inventive. I am not quite sure what happened there, it seems that people did things out of order and files types couldnt match (which I dont know why, there are loads of programmes that could sort that out) anyways, a comedy of errors you could put it as. Even the final decision to just send it in as it were lost us money, you can blame everyone (yes including me, means everyone). Even the post explaining what happened was confusing, but at least we didnt lose money....(but we didnt really earn much either)

So the funhouse challenge...I would have loved to of been there, if for no other reason then to tell everyone not to open those damn boxes! That happened last time to me and I failed lol. You cant however say to someone dont be greedy. Weve already established game on...but...meh it doesnt matter people will still go for things anyways, Im wasting my time :P

Mike Is Gone

Mike. Some say this was shocking, some claim that it was inevitable, I say neither and both lmao. I didnt know Mike in the beginning, so we really started talking towards the end...and, I am sorry for that, I liked Mike, I liked his mentality of the game and how he acts in the challenges. Mike I found you civil and smart and very approachable, I do wish you could have stayed around a lot longer, good luck in future games. :D

Official Confessionals #5

Soo...an exemtpion was offered, plus a mystery reward. Guess what? Fred won! Am I annoyed?No. Am I disheartened? No. If I couldnt have it, Im perfectly ok with Fred having it.

Please excuse my jibberish...:P...lets get on with this round shall we? :D

The dice game, no money could be won....so, it was a win win situation, we could all go for an exemption without having to worry about the pot suffereing. I am glad we got it finished in the end. However, this challenge was worth so much more then an exemption....it showed everyone...just who is in a coalition...and who is playing their alliance like a fiddle :P More on that later.

So the photographing game....I know Padraig really wanted to give us the most time possible, so I dont blame him for not letting us post what we could and couldnt do, because most of those items anyone could have...I am annoyed I couldnt really do more for the group, but, a baseball glove was not likely :P. I however think, for the time we were given, the planning that happened....I am thankful for Padraigs work, he did get us a lot of money this round because of it.

The chip game. To me, one of two things were going to happen, we would all puncture the hearts of each other with knives to the back...or we were going to win $3. The first happened. Now, Im not saying I wanted money out the pot, but that last challenge, along with the first one with the dice, it gave a lot of information away to those that were paying attention...especially a little transaction that appeared later on, so it was quite interesting to watch. I admit to putting Fred in the position he was given, I could have taken him out, but its something I will learn from.

People that read this who have no idea what Im talking about in terms of transactions....someone made a transaction in this game with someone else....a third person knew of this deal before it was announced.

Aaron Is Gone

Ok, Aaron, should you ever read this, I want you to know, you were an asset to the team :) Some may be posting that they knew it would be you and similar, but they have forgotten you have helped the team out and so, at least I will say thanks. Saying that though, we didnt really speak, I didnt and still dont, know you. That is sad, but I guess, in a Mole game, getting to know someone is dangerous, wayyy too dangerous.

I do wish we could have talked more, but at least we got a few conversations in. I must admit towards the end, I did start to have suspicions of you, so you were doing something right :)
I also however, wish you could have put more in, in terms of team unity and activeness, I did get the impression you were more for yourself then the team, which is right, but at least to put on a team-spirit face...I dunno..to boast morale or something.

Anyways, good luck...:)

Public Confessional 4

So...here we are again, time for another confessional. Honestly, I feel like its good to do these, it helps clarify things in my mind a bit more.

Challenge 4.1 - The Tycoon Game
Well...it didnt seem like much real trading could happen, because there was little we could trade with, I know its too late to say now, but Mike you had the best position because you could bargain away the virus next round. Anyways, this game seemed like it was all going good, but, Fred...why did you cash in all you tickets? You only needed to do that for 2 if you wanted the exemption anyways. Me and Padraig had a plan to try and force as many people as we could into just getting loads of tickets, but that fell through I guess.

Challenge 4.2 - The Switcheroo
The more I think about it, the more I think, well done Andy, you just made yourself out to be the biggest idiot so far. Fred does have a point though, the worst we could have done is tied it up anyways, it was very unlikely the switcher players would turn on each other. I am not at all mad or upset at what Evin and Padraig did, because, I would have done the same thing should the positions be swapped, but the only way we could have won that challenge is if the two switchers gave themselves up.
