24.13-Bigshot in town

Previously on the Smole, the final 8 contestants had to sit in a circle, swapping seats with other contestants to try and earn a correction or an exemption. Being a bonus mission, all 150 points were earned, bumping the pot up to 615/950 points. Oliver earned an exemption, whereas Rebecca and Olivia found a correction. Joanna and them used the corrections and Herman was executed. Who will be next? Is the Mole really a woman? Can the girls last till the end?

***

Olivia: "Cooking seems fun."

Olivia: "Yucks. We need to clean this oven."

Bernard: "Must wash my hands. Even the perfumes of Arabia would not be able to rid my hands of this foul, bloody smell...ack, I'm experiencing the Macbeth effect!"

Olivia: "The other day I was looking at the train with Herman. I found a note stuck onto the train. It was from the Mole! It said to remove the 12 o'clock chair to earn 2 corrections. I can hardly contain my enthusiasm."

Bernard: "I saw Olivia reading a note. It's probably from the Mole. This season's Mole isn't as hardworking as Season 21's Mole, Lisa Brown, who did the same thing. That means that neither Joanna nor I can be the Mole since the notes are so few...or everyone has been really good at concealing them. I'm not sure about Rebecca though. I still can't really read her. Assuming no reverse psychology, the Mole is either Sean or Oliver. But there are so many ifs to this deduction..."

Olivia: "It's burnt, but I'm hungry, so I really couldn't care less."

Bernard: "I really hope I win the money."

Sean: "You need to learn how to cook. Like, buy a cookbook or something, man."

Oliver: "Why does it smell like burnt waffles in here?"

In the next mission, contestants will return to the therapy room. They will play musical chairs. Each chair is assigned some points, and the player that doesn't get to sit in that round can pick one chair to remove. The points from the chair that remains in the end will then go into the pot. This is worth 200 points. An exemption goes to the sole survivor.

Contestants get ready.

The music starts playing.

Olivia: "This is fun!"

Joanna: "Why are they playing Barney's theme song? We're not children."

Yvonne: "You have to admit that this is pretty childish."

The music stops.

Joanna: "Nobody better fight with me for my chair."

They rush to sit.

Olivia: "I want this chair."

Bernard: "I saw it first."

Sean: "Sorry, dude and dudette. My butt is here first."

Olivia: "Oh gee."

Bernard: "There's another chair there."

Olivia: "Race you there!"

Beranrd: "Sorry Olivia. But I want to win."

These 6 progress on.

Olivia: "Which chair should I pick? Ah, how about the chair Bernard is sitting on? Since I was supposed to sit there."

The chair was worth 150 points. 

Next round begins.

Music stops.

Joanna: "I've got my eye on that chair."

Yvonne: "Oh, the music stopped. I wonder why. Hey, that's my seat!"

Rebecca: "Better hurry and sit down."

Joanna: "Dreamers lose. Too bad."

These 5 move on.

Yvonne: "I pick the chair Joanna is sitting on."

That chair is worth 10 points. 

Round 3.

.

.

.

Music stops.

Rebecca: "So close."

These 4 make it.

Rebecca: "I pick the chair Sean is at."

That chair was worth 50 points. So far so good. They still have a chance to win all 200 points.

4th round.

.

Music stops.

Oliver: "Everybody move! Bigshot in town!"

Sean: "Hey, dude."

Bernard: "Why am I standing here?"

Sean: "I'm closer."

Sean: "You stood no chance."

These are the final 3. Who will win?

Bernard: "I pick Joanna's chair. Make them run to the chairs."

That chair was worth 100 points.

Next round.

.

.

.

Music stops.

Who will get to sit?

Oliver: "Dammit, lady."

These are the final 2. Who will earn the exemption?

Oliver: "I pick the chair that Joanna is sitting on."

Joanna: "Why always my chair?"

One chair is worth 200 points, while the other is worth nothing at all. Hopefully Oliver made the right choice.

Last round.

.

.

.

Music stops.

Sean: "So..."

Joanna: "Why am I looking like a fool just standing around?"

Who will sit first?

Sean: "Sorry, Joanna. I got here first."

Joanna: "I was so close."

"And Sean wins the exemption! Sean, please look under your chair to see how many points you have earned."

Sean: "What? 0 points?"

Oliver took the chair with 200 points away. Unfortunately, 0/200 points were earned, so the pot is at 615/1150 now.

Oliver: "Don't look at me like that. How was I supposed to know? I just have bad luck, man. Surely the others should be blamed for not taking away the chair with 0 points first!"
