Episode 4: MINDGAMES AND BETRAYAL

Who was executed: Henry

Mission 1: Sniper
    When a player is taken hostage, the others must make their way through a deserted Spanish village to find them. The players must avoid two snipers that are hunting them down with laser guns. If they succeed, they will earn $30,000. What they don't know is that the kidnapped player has been offered an exemption to sacrifice the rescuers.
Money to be Won: $30,000
Mission Completed? No

Mission 2: Trap University
    At the University of Seville, the players are divided into two groups who must answer a series of $15,000 brain teasers within 30 minutes. After answering as many questions as they can, group one is sequestered. As group two attempts to answer the same questions, group one sends a member to stop them. Each question the second team answers right is deducted from group one's winnings.
Money to be Won: $75,000
Mission Completed? Yes, but only $60,000 they could not stop the other group before they solved one puzzle.

Group Fund Total: $310,000

ABC Observations of Who is the Mole:
Jim was slow in finding the second group at Trap University -- perhaps he was taking his time -- costing his group money.
Charlie is always quick to charge other players with sabotage. He blamed Jim at Trap University and Jennifer during the Sniper Test.
During the interviews, Kathryn was the only player who peeked at the production handbook.
Jennifer ran the wrong way at the end of the Sniper Test and got shot. Afterward, she blamed Kate but Kate told her to run in the right direction.
Steven stayed too far back during the Sniper Test and lost contact with Jennifer. He caused the group to fail because they left the church without him.
Kate had the opportunity to gain yet another exemption. Her attempt to get it -- although too late -- would have cost the team $30,000.

My comments:
Day 14
   The episode starts out in Sancti Petri Spain, where Anderson asks for a volunteer to take it easy for this mission. Once the group chooses Kate they start feeling bad about their choice. After Kate leaves Anderson comes back and tells the group that their mission is to try to save Kate from a church, the hard part is that there is snipers that will be shooting at them but they are defenseless. Once everyone is in the church all the alive cast members must make their way back to a rendezvous point and ring the bell that is inside of the building. Once the mission is explained to the group Anderson says that if Kate will betray her team she will get another exemption. All she has to do is shot her own team members with her gun and ring the bell. Once the mission starts everyone inches along the buildings and Henry is shot and he is out of the game.

   One by one everyone is killed except Jennifer and Steven, Jennifer makes it in the church and after a wait Jennifer and Kate decide that Steven is dead and try to make it to the finish point. But during the rush back Jennifer ends up getting shot just outside the building, then Kate gets hit and the mission was over. When they get into the building Jennifer gets upset because she says that Kate did not tell her that it was right then. After all the team members walk in they realize that Steven is still alive and she tries to shoot him. This makes everyone upset and Charlie gets really upset but Anderson said that the mission was over back at the church, because they left the church before Steven got there. That night at dinner Henry tells the group that he had a dream of how will be executed, so he writes it down and the group will read it after the last execution.

Day 15
   The next night the group is taken to the University of Seville for their next mission. At the University they are told that the mission is worth up to 125,000 dollars but there is a trap in the mission. So the group splits into two group with Jim, Henry, Jennifer, and Kate start going first into the mission. When they get in they are told that they will be taking a test and for every right answer they will earn 15,000 dollars. This group earns 75,000 dollars then they are taken on a tour of the University. When the tour stops they are told that the other team is starting the same problems but for every right answer that the other team answers takes money away from their total. So Jim decides that he will be the one to stop the other group, he ends up getting there after the other team answers two questions and thus taking away 30, 000 dollars from their total. After a lot of talking Jim convinces the second group to stop and then Anderson comes in and tells the groups that they ended up only losing 15,000 dollars because of Jim's late start. So they earned 60,000 dollars. That night everyone got a phone call home and everyone tells their family members that they are having fun except Charlie who says that he hates his experience.

Day 16
   This whole day is set aside for interviews. During each interview the crew is called away and they leave behind a production notebook in the room with the cameras left on, the only cast member that looks in Kathryn. During lunch that day Anderson asks Kathryn if anything happened during her interview and she denies it, but eventually gives in and tells the group what she did. That night at the execution Henry is executed and when the group read the prediction after he left they found out that he thought that Charlie was to executed.
