62.03-I can't believe they have an infinity pool

 

In the first episode of the Smole, 12 contestants had to play 2 truths and 1 lie, guessing lies correctly to earn points. They succeeded in earning 23/66 points and no bonus points. They then had to assign traits to each of them one at a time and take a surprise quiz. Little did they know that the Mole had not yet been chosen, and they helped choose the Mole collectively. With a Mole officially in play, how will the dynamics change? Who is the Mole?

●◆●◆●◆●

Sullivan: "I did not expect that twist. I was sweating buckets at first when I realised that we had to announce if we were the Mole or not...truthfully! But then it turned out everyone wasn't the Mole? But now, after last night, there is? I have to keep my eyes peeled. As the last one I could see everyone's reactions and some were stoic but some smiled. It's hard to say who it could be, but I think I can position myself to be a valuable asset in this group if I mention this."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "I have a few theories as to how the Mole was chosen. I think the traits we picked had something to do with it, and if we weren't chosen in the quiz then we would be the Mole. But I don't know how to tie it to what we had to answer about the traits before the season started. We needed to pick 3 traits that described ourselves, 4 that a Mole would have, and 1 a contestant would have."

●◆●◆●◆●

Beverly: "I can't believe they have an infinity pool. This is awesome."

Sullivan: "I heard that the family who lives here generously let us have it for filming while they are on holiday."

Norman: "Where are the rest? It's late."

Marshall: "Some of us here do not have good sleeping habits."

●◆●◆●◆●

Norman: "Mandy, Cecelia and Hugh weren't at breakfast. We thought they were asleep or elsewhere in the house but when Caitlin and Carolina went to search for them it turned out they were not in the house at all."

●◆●◆●◆●

"Good morning contestants. You must have noticed by now that you are three short of a full house. Hugh, Cecelia and Mandy are currently trying to get their advantage. In the meantime, form a group of three. Brazil has a vibrant art scene and you creative souls will get to work independently yet collaboratively on a picture. Choose wisely, because this next execution ceremony is going to be a double execution ceremony."

Beverly: "Dibs on Seraphine."

Caitlin: "I want to work with her too."

Beverly: "Let's do it then. We have our first trio."

Marshall: "Carolina is with me."

Carolina: "Ba, no. I don't need your protection. I want to find out who the Mole is."

Marshall: "Brazil is not safe. I cannot leave a young woman alone."

Carolina: "Then I'll find someone else to keep me safe. Someone like..."

Carolina: "...I J."

Alan: "Me? I'm not sure I want to work with you today."

Carolina: "Are you good at art?"

Alan: "No."

Carolina: "Then it may be in your best interest to work with me." 

Avery: "Any of you wanna pair up with me? I ain't an artist."

Marshall: "We need to form a group of three. I'm going to be by your side no matter what."

Carolina: "Ugh fine."

Sullivan: "Then the last group is me, Avery and Norman."

In each group are two sketchers and one guesser, who are back at Mussel Square awaiting their team's final drawings. The sketchers have 20 minutes to draw an object that has been privately assigned to them based on which digital sketchpad they took. If the guessers can then identify each object, 10 points will be earned, making this mission worth 60 points.

However, Hugh, Mandy and Cecelia have chosen one group to infiltrate. They will also be secretly adding on to the drawing, and if the guessers identify their object instead, that secret sketcher gets an exemption. The guessers are aware that there is a secret sketcher. The final artwork needs to be coherent (so it is forbidden to simply draw the objects and call it a day) and no words are allowed.

●◆●◆●◆●

Sullivan: "I'll start with a banana tree."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "I'm drawing a tambourine. I just need to make lots of circles."

●◆●◆●◆●

Norman: "How am I supposed to draw a toucan? This is hard."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I shall wait and observe before making my mark."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "This looks terrible. Let me redo it."

●◆●◆●◆●

Hugh: "I'll add some big bright peacock feathers to the background."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "These circles look round enough. I can't believe I spent so much time on it."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "Mine is easy to add in. I just need to draw a sun."

●◆●◆●◆●

Carolina: "Why did he erase it? Let me move my chocolate into the basket."

●◆●◆●◆●

Hugh: "Let's add some colour."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "This is actually quite fun."

●◆●◆●◆●

Carolina: "Oh it's a hot summer day. I'll make the chocolate bars melt."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "I can't tell what that is. Nevermind, I shall draw my guitar."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Oh, Seraphine is drawing a guitar...I expected better quality from her."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "Musical instruments. That is Caitlin's object."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "I need to make my sun more prominent. Let me add some branding to the wrapper."

●◆●◆●◆●

Carolina: "What else can I add that is chocoolatey? How about brownies?"

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Who keeps leaving all these marks behind? Draw within the lines."

●◆●◆●◆●

Norman: "Oh, I'll draw another tree to house the bird. That's clever."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "Oh no. I think Seraphine has finally started drawing."

●◆●◆●◆●

Mandy: "I thought I'll infiltrate Seraphine's drawing because she's an artist, so it would be easy to hide my objects in the details of her drawing. But I didn't consider to think how different our art styles would be."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "I need to confuse the guesser. Let me make it more coherent by turning this into a picnic."

●◆●◆●◆●

Norman: "These branches should be brown instead."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "This is adding too much. The message is too confused."

●◆●◆●◆●

Cecelia: "I need to make my sun more obvious. I'll draw another one."

●◆●◆●◆●

Hugh: "Oh he's drawing a toucan. Perfect. Let me add some feathers on the ground."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "I can change the colour of the background! This looks much better now."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Seraphine took over the drawing and erased my tambourine and replaced it with hers. That's rude."

●◆●◆●◆●

Seraphine: "I am the only artist in this group and I am drawing things my way. None of that kiddish fridge art. I knew what Caitlin was going for anyway, so I improved it."

●◆●◆●◆●

Caitlin: "Fine, be that way."

●◆●◆●◆●

Sullivan: "Oh it'll be so cute if I add a banana in its mouth."

●◆●◆●◆●

Marshall: "Who is drawing on my second basket? Stop it!"

●◆●◆●◆●

Hugh: "God I suck at drawing feathers."

"Your teammates have completed their drawings. Now, each of you will have to identify the assigned objects they had to draw, avoiding the secret sketcher's assigned object. Let's start with Beverly."

Beverly: "Wow. This is really professional. I see two men playing instruments. The instruments must be the focal point, but for some reason the man on the right is wearing flip-flops with long pants. He has absolutely no fashion sense. It must be a clue."

Beverly: "I think the assigned objects are the flip-flops, and...ooh this is a tough one. Should I go with the tambourine or guitar? I'll take a guess: flip-flops and tambourine."

"We shall see if you are right. You said tambourine..."

"...and tambourine is correct. Caitlin had to draw tambourines. You also said flip-flops..."

"...and that is also correct. The first 20 points have been earned."

"Alan, it is your turn."

Alan: "Bring it on. It doesn't seem that hard."

Alan: "That's a lot of objects. The sun is really obvious. As is the picnic. There's a weird animal, is that a bunny? A chocolate bunny? Is it Easter? Oh, chocolate chips, chocolate bars, chocolate chip muffins. I am sure chocolate is one of the objects."

Alan: "The sun is crossed out in front. Is that a hint that the sun is the wrong object to guess? Is it heat then? Or maybe it's the wicker baskets. My final answer is chocolate and basket."

"You also said basket, and that is Marshall's object. A perfect score so far."

"Avery, it's your turn."

Avery: "That's a lotta pressure."

Avery: "Aww, it's cute. I see a beach, lots of banana trees, a toucan eating a worm and a lotta leaves."

Avery: "Uh, I think they had to draw the banana and the toucan. It's really specific."

"Is one of the objects a toucan?"

"Indeed it is. Sullivan drew that."

"Congratulations, contestants, you have earned the full 60/60 points, making the pot 83/126 points. You have also successfully stopped Mandy, Cecelia and Hugh from getting exemptions. Keep this up, and you might be able to beat the new Mole."

●◆●◆●◆●

The group managed to pull through and get the full winnings this time. Is the Mole too unprepared to fend them off? Who is the Mole?
