41.15-Not part of the equation


In the previous episode, the final five had to dress up and blend among the crowd in a comic convention. Hans was the Social Bunny, Claves was the Queen of Harlem, Kelly was Hot Dog, Pamela was Zelda and Zane was Bunny Boy. As such, Zane was the only one who was not correctly identified so he was the sole winner of the exemption. 90/250 points were earned making the pot 396/1050 points. Zane can nominate three contestants but who will he pick? Among the three, who will be executed?

DAY 15


Kelly: "I'm so pissed. I smeared myself with disgusting makeup to hide my face and yet someone managed to identify me. I want to know which cunt stole my exemption from me."


Claves: "How many of us actually cared about the points rather than the exemption? It seems that everyone was either concerned with trying to hide or trying to prevent others from getting exemptions, conveniently earning points in the process."

Claves: "You're going to save Pam, aren't you?"
Zane: "She is my partner."


Claves: "What if I offer you two corrections? I'll give you one now as deposit."


Zane: "Pam told me you tried to convince her to betray me a few days ago. It won't work out."


Claves: "Pamela plays with her heart but I can tell you play with your head. She didn't tell you how she tried to negotiate with me for better terms, did she?"


Zane: "...No, she didn't."
Pamela: "She's not as innocent as she seems, huh? I could clearly tell she was tempted. However, she was more scared of losing you because she's man-crazed."


Claves: "I also have a clue that might interest you. It gives you better odds as to who the Mole is."


Claves: "It's better to cut her off now than at the finale, where you're both trying to fight each other. Anyway, strategically it's a wise choice to nominate her while you're safe. If she goes home you know something went wrong somewhere."


Zane: "It seems to be you're scared of leaving."
Claves: "I have corrections that I can use. I also know Chase more than any of you so I will have the bonus questions down easily. It's better odds for everyone if I'm not part of the equation."



Claves: "You don't have to answer now but I'll be using those corrections tonight. You better come find me before I do if you accept the deal."

Pamela: "Has my letter arrived?"


Pamela: "Nothing. Someone just forgot to put the flag down."



Pamela: "I have to be patient but I don't have a good feeling about this."


Hans: "Come in."
Kelly: "Hans, I think we should work together."


Hans: "A coalition now is a bit late, won't you say?"
Kelly: "I'm not proposing a coalition. I'm thinking more of sharing information."


Kelly: "Pamela and Zane are going to continue to save each other. That means there's no need for us to try and plead our case because we'll be put up no matter what."


Hans: "What about Claves?"
Kelly: "She can handle herself. She's not who you think she is."


Hans: "Even if I'm out next, I'm cool with it. At least I tried my best."


Kelly: "But I want to win. At first I would have just donated the money to charity if I won but now that I'm pursuing a higher education I need to money. I heard tuition fees are crazy nowadays."


Hans: "I'm really sorry Kelly but I can't help you there. I can only wish you all the best."


Kelly: "You nitwit. If you go out next I'm going to laugh in your face."
Hans: "I hope I made the right choice. I know Samantha would have wanted me to help her but this is a selfish game."


Hans: 'I keep priding myself on the fact that I've changed but maybe I haven't changed at all."

Claves: "I feel I should warn you about Zane."


Claves: "I tested him and it seems as though he's not as loyal to this coalition as you are."
Pamela: "You're just trying to drive a wedge between us."


Claves: "He accepted my correction. I just think you should watch your back. You should be careful of who you trust. This is sincere advice."


Pamela: "I'll ask him what this is about."

Pamela: "I knew I'd find you here. Zane, I know you spoke to Claves earlier today."


Zane: "Shit."


Pamela: "Please tell me you didn't accept her corrections."


Pamela: "Why are you keeping silent? Answer me. Did you or did you not take Claves's correction?"


Zane: "I did."


Pamela: "Zane! I can't believe you!"


Zane: "I can explain!"
Pamela: "Then please! Explain what this is all about."

Zane: "Claves gave me one correction first. She told me that if I accepted her deal to not nominate her I should go find her and she'll provide me another correction and a clue."


Zane: "I didn't go find her."
Pamela: "Are you intending to?"


Zane: "...No."
Pamela: "Why is she so hell-bent on tearing us apart?"


Zane: "Maybe she's insecure?"


Pamela: "From the way she spoke to me just now...I think she thinks you're the Mole."
Zane: "That's good because I'm not the Mole. Let her continue thinking that way."




Zane: "She thinks she can play with us. We'll take the narrative into our own hands."

It is time for the quiz.


Q1: Is the Mole male or female?
Q2: Does the Mole sleep on a single bed or double bed?
Q3: Would the Mole donate their earnings to charity?
Q4: How many exemptions has the Mole earned to date?
Q5: In Mission 7, what did the Mole dress up as?
Q6: Who did the Mole correctly identify in Mission 7?
Q7: In Mission 7, which characters did the Mole think the other four were dressed up as?
Q8: In Mission 7, how many contestants did the Mole correctly identify?
Q9: In Mission 7, how many times was the Mole identified?
Q10: Who is the Mole?
Q11: How old is Chase Bennington?
Q12: Which band was Chase Bennington a part of?
Q13: How many Simoleons did Chase Bennington get at the park in Mission 6?
Q14: How many points did Chase Bennington get at the park in Mission 6?
Q15: Who did Chase Bennington put as the Mole in his last quiz?


Zane: Since I have the correction, I might as well use it. Claves's behaviour makes me think it isn't her. She's usually so careful, so it's as though she deliberately wanted others to notice her pink hair sticking out yesterday.


Claves: There are only four other possibilities. If it's not Hans or Zane, it's Pamela or Kelly. They were the two to hide in the mission. I feel quite confident so I'll save my corrections for the next quiz.

Hans: Zane has been on my radar since early on. Pamela is someone who is slowly creeping up. I think Pamela is more suspicious so I'll answer the quiz accordingly.


Kelly: I suspect everyone else. I've seen clues pointing to Pamela and Hans's actions are dodgy. Claves has shown to me that she is a brilliant actress. Even Zane who I thought wasn't it went out of his way to hard to conceal his identity even though everyone else was found out anyway.


Pamela: We got 9 answers right. That means on average, each of us got 1.8 answers right. Zane got 2 correct and according to Claves she got 3. I got 1. I am inclined to think Kelly got more answers right than Hans.

"Another night, another farewell. Each time gets tougher but it's a necessary evil."


"Zane, will you be giving your exemption to someone else?"
Zane: "Yes. Pamela will have my exemption."


Claves: "I was shocked when Zane gave his exemption to Pamela. I underestimated their loyalty to each other. I always assumed that trust was a fragile thing, and that loyalty only lie in the self. Wherever the self had most to gain, the self will ally toward."


"Pamela, as the new exemption holder, which three will you nominate?"


Pamela: "I choose to nominate Kelly."
Kelly: "I wish I could say I was surprised."


Pamela: "I also nominate Hans and Claves."
Hans: "Hmm. Okay."


"Kelly Hoggart."





































































































































































































































































































































































































































Kelly: "Oh I made it!"


"Hans Dixon."















































































































































































































































































































































































































"Unfortunately, Hans Dixon, you have been executed. Please pack your bags and leave."


Hans: "It's fine."


Zane: "Hans was very hardworking. You could never see him without his journal. I am honestly quite surprised he's leaving."
Pamela: "Same! He was such a nice chap."


Pamela: "It's such a pity that it was you, Hans. We will miss you."
Zane: "Now I'm the only guy left in the house."
Kelly: "And I'm the only one over the 30 range. I want to say I told you so, Hans, but I can't. I am really saddened by your execution."
Claves: "Hans, you played a good and honest game. You should be proud of yourself."


Hans: "Thanks for all the good words guys. I really want to stay longer with all of you but someone has to leave. I don't regret coming here or any thing I did. I really enjoyed myself. Goodbye and good luck."


Hans: "I said I would be fine if I left and I am. I just can't help this feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's always disappointing to see the red screen, especially when it's for you."
"Thank you for joining."


"Don't doubt it--the four of you seated here are officially part of the final four! One more execution stands in the way of the finale. But that's a topic for another day. Get some early rest tonight."


Only one more contestant stands in the way of the finale. Who will be the last executed contestant and who will be the finalists?
