47.06-Honest to God

In the last episode, the contestants were divided into three groups. Sandra, Melvin, Matty and Venus had to memorise hieroglyphs at the bottom of a pool and recreate them. They drew 43/100 unique hieroglyphs. However, they could not identify Reynard, Henrietta, Monique or Derek's getups. Fortunately Jasmine had a good sense of time and stopped the clock at 64 minutes, so the pot is at 257/520 points. However, was it out of pity as the Mole, or was the Mole in one of the other groups?

Venus: "I never expected you to have the guts to wear something like that. Even if it was bad taste I know you were trying to imitate someone and I'm impressed."

Monique: "It was just for a mission. There's no need to make a big fuss over it."

Venus: "If you were a guy I would totally fall in love with you."

Sandra: "I hope I didn't stumble on a weird conversation."

Venus: "You're not. I was just talking about how much respect I have for Monique after the mission. It would be fun to date a girl but I think I like my men more. Especially the bad boys."

Sandra: "I like bad boys too."

Venus: "Really? You? You sleep at 11pm on the dot every day!"

Sandra: "I guess opposites attract. I fell in love with a boy who turned out to be a part of a group of illegal street racers. It didn't work out in the end because my dad was a cop and he fled."

Venus: "Your dad cock-blocked you."

Sandra: "He was just looking out for me. As a policeman he saw many bad things in the world."

Venus: "So you just let your dad get in the way? You let your lover run away?"

Sandra: "Excuse me?"

Venus: "If it was me, I wouldn't let family or anyone stop me from pursuing my love."

Monique: "Didn't you break up with Renne because neither of you were willing to commit?"

Venus: "Yeah but that's because he wasn't the one I was looking for. If I found the one I was going to marry I would stop at nothing to make him mine, even if I had to give up everything and follow him to the ends of the world."

Sandra: "How do you know if you found the right one?"

Venus: "You just do. When you get the urge to elope and marry him, that's when you know he's the one."

Monique: "That's so silly. Just because you fancy someone doesn't make him the perfect man. True love is just a commercialised product by companies to advertise Valentine's Day."

Sandra: "That's such a depressing view."

Monique: "It's true. Do you really think there is such thing as your other half? If that was the case, Venus would have a gazillion halves and marry a hundred men."

Venus: "Like I said, they weren't the right one."

Monique: "But you still loved them, didn't you?"

Venus: "I guess? I don't just date anyone."

Monique: "There we go. You may love someone but that doesn't mean much because we're not rational creatures."

Venus: "She probably just swiped the wrong guy on Tinder."

Monique: "I speak from experience. Someone thought he loved me because he spent so much time with me."

Venus: "Ignore her. If you really feel like you shouldn't let the boy slip by, then don't."

Sandra: "Sometimes I do think about him. What if we had gotten together? What if I decided to screw my family and just run away with him? I know that will never happen but he was my first love."

Monique: "Be glad you didn't. You would've regretted it."

Sandra: "Yeah, you're probably right."

Henrietta: "The mission made the impersonators look bad but your group only got 43 unique hieroglyphs."

Melvin: "I'm surprised too. We worked very hard and I was pretty sure there were more than 43 drawings."

Henrietta: "Isn't it obvious? Someone wasted their effort. They drew hieroglyphs that had already been drawn, or they drew a random picture."

Melvin: "It was so hard to observe the rest because you had to focus on memorising too. The pool was huge."

Henrietta: "Someone surely must have stuck out to you."

Melvin: "Hmm...Matty. He did both the things you said. But I don't know if it's him. He didn't really act very suspicious in the previous two missions."

Henrietta: "We will keep an eye on him. Nobody was suspicious by virtue of the fact that all points were earned in that mission."

***

Henrietta: "The two groups suspect each other, leaving Jasmine alone. She only brought in 43 points for succeeding so I think it's very easy to forget about her."

***

Derek: "That mission was horrible. I wanted to show that I am intelligent, not show off my muscles. I feel typecast."

***

Matty: "All of you were just embarrassing yourselves out there. I'm so glad I didn't have to participate in that."

Reynard: "It was so obvious! Warren Buffet wears glasses. I didn't!"

Matty: "Really? I don't remember. Anyway it could have just been an oversight. Get it?"

Matty: "No? You guys are dumb."

Jasmine: "We get it. We just don't find it funny."

Matty: "You just don't have a sense of humour. Anyway, there was no way we could guess you were Obama from your outfit alone. Obama's black and you are white."

Reynard: "What do you want me to do about that? I can't suddenly change my race."

Jasmine: "Without me you guys are hopeless. That much is clear. I have to agree with Matty here that the four of you didn't know what you were doing. You need proper advice on how to dress the part."

Matty: "You would have been perfect for the mission, Jasmine. I wonder who you had to dress up as."

Reynard: "Cleopatra."

Reynard: "There was a folder in front of us with our faces and a close up of all our characters. I figured out a few of them, like yours is Cleopatra and Sandra would have been Dora the Explorer. I think Melvin was Dr. Watson? Or maybe he was The Penguin. I couldn't figure out the rest."

Jasmine: "Hmph. I would have loved to dress as Cleopatra."

Venus: "Dawn doesn't deserve you. She doesn't even remember you half the time! You need someone who will care for you and at the very least remember your name."

Derek: "Dawn is special to me. She recognises me for who I am inside and doesn't just see me as some muscly jock. She makes me feel like protecting her."

Venus: "You two are just friends with benefits. That's what she said."

Derek: "She did?"

Venus: "On the Smole too. Go watch Season 37 if you haven't. She said the two of you broke up and now you are friends with benefits."

Derek: "I..wow. I didn't think she saw it that way. I thought we had a connection. I thought she forgot about the breakup...I never knew."

Derek: "You're not lying to me?"

Venus: "Honest to God. You can always go watch the season or ask her directly when this is over."

Reynard: "The Mole must be in the other group. I think we dressed quite obviously. Was it not obvious that Derek was Hulk? And even if you couldn't see Monique as Nicki Minaj, she definitely doesn't look like Barbie. Therefore the Mole was one of them."

***

"Contestants, the numbers are dropping fast. It has come to the time again to execute one of you. Who will survive another round of execution and who won't?"

"Derek Zora."

"Reynard Connors."

"Sandra Rius."

"Venus Ixora."

"Monique Plaita."

"Melvin Willis."

"Henrietta Hitchcock."

"Jasmine Risotto, Matty Crewe, one of you will be executed tonight."

"Matty Crewe."

"Matty Crewe, you are unfortunately the next to be executed. Please pack your bags and leave."

Reynard: "I knew it!"

Matty: "I kept seeing more and more suspects. After every mission, I had more suspects on my mind. Maybe that cost me my game and I spread too much? It sucks balls. I'm out way too early."

"Thank you for joining Matty. We hope to see you soon."

"Contestants, I hope you've gotten used to the executions because there are many more to come. Only one of you can sit tight and say with confidence that you will never be going home. Only one of you is the Mole."
