One Loser, One Winner, And One Mole

In the last episode, Frederique knew that Erik and Kathy might be on to her, so she decided not to sabotage the game. Since Kathy and Erik were both trying to convince each other that they were The Mole, she didn't need to do anything. Ahmad voice-overs that Frederique did as much as she could to put some doubt in their minds before they took the final quiz. He adds that Frederique prevented $80,000 from going into the pot. In an interview, Frederique says that she's always loved playing games, but to actually be the game was exciting.

Ahmad tells Frederique that she was a really good Mole and fooled everyone. He asks if she tried to set anyone else up to look like The Mole at any point. Frederique says Corbin was so over-the-top that she just played into it. Ahmad brings up her sabotage of the boat. Frederique says that Corbin was going like a maniac, so she felt confident that no one would notice her. Stephen says he was too nice in the whole process, and three times during the game he asked Frederique if she was The Mole and she just didn't answer. Kim thinks Frederique threw them off with her beauty. Michael says that you get an idea in your head, and it's ego-driven, and you think you've figured someone out, so you won't give it up. Yep, that's me. Like I said previously, I started suspecting Frederique after Corbin was executed, but my ego wouldn't let me admit it because I wanted to stick with my original pick so that at the end, I could say, "Ha! I knew it all along." I imagine that factors into the game as well.

Ahmad announces that there were hidden clues for the home viewers. First, in the credits, only Frederique's face is visible in the helicopter as Ahmad voice-overs that someone is being paid to sabotage the others. In the first episode, Ahmad described the game as "the wild, wild west, Mole-style," and Frederique was in the movie Wild, Wild West. Wow, I'm sorry for her. In the second episode, the plane's registration number visible while Corbin gave his predictions was VS-CMH03, which stood for Victoria's Secret - Celebrity Mole Hawaii 2003. Frederique modeled for Victoria's Secret. In the third episode, when Frederique walks out of the water, there is a red, white, and blue inflatable dolphin on the beach. Red, white, and blue are the colors on the Netherlands flag, Frederique's birthplace. That one was dumb. In the fifth episode, the storage bins in the cold storage room where Kathy found the watermelon were labeled Fruits, Vegetables, Dairy, Water, Meat. If you take the first letters of each word, it stood for Frederique Van Der Wal Mole. Hey, someone on the forums actually pointed that out! I actually thought those were all decent clues. Except the flag one. That was dumb. But they weren't so completely obscure as to be ridiculous (first season) or so obvious that you knew who The Mole was by the third episode (second season). Well done, production team!
