“And we have another execution ceremony. There is a 1 in 3 chance of you going home, ½ if one of you is the Mole. Without further ado, let us see the fate of our remaining three ladies.”


“Taylor Bleu! You are….













































































































































safe!”
Taylor: “Really? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! I mean…duh.”
“Bernice Thatch, Mimi Springer, one of you will be leaving the Smole house. Who will it be…”


































































































“Bernice Thatch!”
Bernice: “No.”
“Relax. Your results aren’t out yet. You are…



























































































































































































safe!”
Bernice: “That’s more like it. Don’t we have a high chance of winning?”

“That means Mimi Springer, you have been executed. Sorry, but please pack your bags and leave.”
Mimi: “Bummer.”


 
Viola: “If you had been executed earlier Jacintha would not have been fooled by you.”


Mimi: “Shocked? Definitely. I had expected to at least make it to the final four after all that I tried…it didn’t work out. At least I know I brought some others down with me! Sorry Kiki, I couldn’t beat those smart people in there, but I’m proud to have survived! I will root for Taylor to win if she’s not the Mole. Cute guys, I’m coming!”

***


Viola: “Do you read your journal?”
Bernie: “Of course. I must know it inside out. What are you insinuating?”
Viola: “Nothing…I should go.”
Bernie: “I’m wondering if Bernie and my quizzes are still added together.”
“No, that would be unfair. Your quizzes have been separate ever since Tay left.”
Bernie: “If I had pinhole cameras and bugs in my office, I would completely crush the perpetrator until he can’t stand up! Wait for my lawsuit. I’ll have you up for invasion of privacy!”
“I just helped to answer your question…”


Bernice: “Who are you talking to?”
Bernie: “Nobody.”
Bernice: “How do you light this thing? Uh, where is the remote…ah! That was scary. Now Bernie…wait! Where are you going?”
Bernie: “To shower.”













Bernice: “I’m used to him blowing hot and cold because he can wake up on the wrong side of bed pretty often, but this is ludicrous! I am sure he has a mistress, and that mistress is Taylor. I don’t know if I can trust him now…he’s been overzealous in achieving exemptions lately. What if it’s reverse psychology and he’s the Mole?”

***



Taylor: “Mrs. Thatch, I know your secret. You are in a coalition with Viola Striker.”
Bernice: “I was the one who told you that. Are you planning on joining us or threatening us?”
Taylor: “The latter. Now what if I told your husband about it? He may just end up suspecting you.”
Bernice: “Go ahead. I’m afraid of nothing.”
Taylor: “Very well.”















Taylor: “Mimi had approached me to discuss the Mole suspect, and in her haste she blurted her answer. She had chosen Bernice when she was exempted. I don’t see why she would change even though she’s easily swayed, so I suspect Bernice isn’t the Mole. There’s a very slim chance of Bernie being the Mole, so that leaves Viola. And that’s why I will never join the Mole’s coalition. I find it strange that Bernice doesn’t care if I sow discord between them though. Is it because she knows who the Mole is, or is it because they’re so close, or they’ve been pulled too far apart?”

Cute Mimi says bye-bye! We are approaching the finale! Have you figured out who the elusive Mole is?

17.17-How did my vomit fly upwards?

17.17, on the 17th, at 17:17h. :)


Welcome back to the Smole! Our final 6 had to play a simple game of not being the one to take the last rugby. Bernice took it and to her surprise, she earned a hidden exemption which she shared with Mimi. 30/60 points were earned making the pot 855/1320 points. Jacintha was executed, much to her surprise. The final 5 are up. Who will be the next to go? Who is the Mole?

***



Taylor: “You need to socialise more often. You’re so awkward.”
Mimi: “Excuse me?”


 
Mimi: “Well I’m sorry that I don’t feel a great need to socialise with others. The only reason why I’m taking any intiative now is so that I can win the Smole! Do you know humiliating and hurtful your comment was?”
Taylor: “Well it’s the truth.”


Taylor: “You need to host a party or something…that way you can mingle more.”
Mimi: “Oh you don’t know how many parties I’ve hosted and attended, sister. I loooove parties. I’m just introverted.”






Viola: “I decided to continue life as per normal. I’ve depended too much on others. I should depend on myself more. This is a sign from above. To have me spared. I will win this for all my comrades. I will not lose.”

***


Bernie: “Oh Bernice..”
Bernice: “Okay, that’s enough. We’re on TV. And I’m still tired. I can’t believe they don’t even have an espresso machine here!”


Bernie: “Well we’re going to win. I added a little something to the food. They won’t be able to perform as well and we can deflect suspicion onto each other. One of them is bound to lose!”
Bernice: “How deceptively clever! I love your little unscrupulous acts.”
Bernie: “I love how I’ve hardly woken up on the wrong side of bed ever since I joined.”


We have a little mascot hiding here.

***


Taylor: “This tastes bad! These vegetables definitely aren’t fresh from the farm.”
Mimi: “Be glad that you have something to eat. Do you know how much those cute babies and strays starve?”
Taylor: “I know better than to waste food, Mimi.”


Taylor: “Oh I don’t feel too well. I need a breath of fresh air.”
Mimi: “Hope you didn’t do any hanky panky with Tay.”

***



Dee: “Jesus!”


Dee: “Be careful that you don’t fall and die.”
Taylor: “If I die for Tay, it’ll be worth it. Oh now I miss him…”



Bernie: “Alright…Bernice is not the Mole and my original suspicion was wrong. Good thing I had Plan B.”

***


Mimi: “How did my vomit fly upwards?”

Contestants are off to do the next mission. They are to go to the junkyard and find a locket in the bales of hay. There are altogether 50 bales, so for every bale of hay scattered, 5 points are added. The one to find that locket wins the exemption! It will no longer be shared.




Viola: “I’ll take the largest stacks because I can handle them.”


Bernie: “Grr! Why have I been reduced to such a state? My suit will get dirty! How do I do this? Do I just jab this fork in? How do you…why is this thing so heavy?”


Bernie: “It wasn’t completely a bad experience, though I hated it. You grow wiser with experience. I know can find a way to connect with farmers and get them to do my bidding. I can use my knowledge to my advantage when handling related projects. Money will grow like this. Muahahaha! Why are you still on? Stupid thing. Go away now.”


Bernie: “OI! How dare you land on my designer shoes Are you going to pay for them, hay?”
Taylor: “I’m so used to doing this back at home, this is easy!”


Mimi: “How will I know where to start? If only Kiki were here. She’d always start me off.”


Bernie: “This chair is an eyesore…but I must bear the grit if I want to ensure my survival.”


Bernice: “It itches! After this hay bale, I’m stopping!”


Taylor: “That’s a lot. Let me help you.”
Viola: “No. I can do it myself.”
Taylor: “You will take until sunset!”
Viola: “Fine. Just don’t come near my side.”


 
Bernice: “Alright, I’m done.”


Bernie: “This is actually quite sturdy. Give it a new coat of paint and I can sell it for billions! Right now it’s disgusting though.”


Viola: “Taylor, why not you go handle that hay bale?”





Taylor: “Viola seems so defensive about her territory ever since Jacintha was executed. I think I know why, and I’m probably the only one that knows about the secret coalition. Still, I wish she wouldn’t get os worked up if I encroached her space. I want to win too and I can do better than she.”


Mimi: “For the cute horsies! I should change into something first. Good thing I always carry some other clothes!”


Mimi: “There! I wish I brought my gardening hat along. Then it would be complete and I would look like a farmer! Here horsey horsey!”


Bernie: “I need to use the washroom. Hopefully it’s not in a disastrous state as this junkyard is.”

***


Mimi: “Whew! This is tiring. I think that’s enough for the horses today. Don’t want getting too fat!”


 
Viola: “This is like finding a needle in a haystack and we’re running around like headless chickens. We must do this systematically…maybe it’s not even in here!”


Taylor: “Oh gosh, another hay bale. They better not be wasting this good food.”

***




Bernice: “Is this thing on? I’m more used to using a microphone than a megaphone. I hope it isn’t faulty like everything else here. It looks quite brand new in fact.”


Bernice: “Now everyone listen to me! I’m your boss!”

***


Viola: “Time to search through the dumpsters. Perhaps I’ll find something of use.”


Shark: “Hey there pretty lady. My name’s Shark.”
Taylor: “I’m Taylor. What a cute name.”
Shark: “I’m not cute.”
Taylor: “…Okay? The name rocks?”


 
Mimi: “I wonder if the locket is in here? I see shiny things.”

***



Bernice: “Thank you everyone for listening about why men are not to be trusted and why you should listen to me. I should invest in a megaphone when I get back.”


 
Viola: “Okay, so there is nothing worthy inside there. At least I tried.”


Mimi: “Um…hey there cutie. I was wondering…have you seen a locket?”
Alistair: “Nope.”


Mimi: “I’ve found some lovely flowers in the trash though. Do accept it.”
Alistair: “Oh, thanks. You’re quite an interesting girl.”


Mimi: “And you’re so cute! Let me kiss you! Muacks!”


Alistair: “Okay now you’re just creepy. Go away!”
Mimi: “Fine…how…how could you?” *cries*














Mimi: “How does Kiki do this? How does she manage to charm any man she meets?”


Viola: “You! Camera! I had enough of this. I quit.”


Shark: “And I’m strong too. Want to see my abs?”
Taylor: “No thanks…I should really get going. Bye!”


…I suppose the mission is over then.

***


“Everyone gather round! How do you think you fared in the mission?”
Taylor: “I could have done better if I didn’t bump into a creep.”
Bernice: “The place was horrid! And there was so much! By the time we finish it would be night time! In fact I still itch! Horrendous! My husband and I will sue you!”
“I’m not so sure about that. You had scattered 17 bales of hay, so you earn 85/250 points. Terrible job. The pot now has 940/1570 points. The Mole is doing well…but can the Mole pull the gap wide enough? Also someone succeeded in finding the locket, and that is…”



























































































































“Bernie!”
Bernice: “No wonder you said he wouldn’t sue.”
Bernie: “I still would if I end up in that small percentage where I lose this game.”


 
Bernie: “I found the locket so I saw no more reason for me to continue. Before that I also found a dossier. It was labelled as the Mole’s dossier. In it I found several valuable information, such as clues. I have a 90% chance of winning this now. But these clues seem to point in another direction. Should I listen to my eyes, my head or my heart?”



“We also had a poll for the public to vote for who should earn an exemption, and we have the results. The winner of this exemption is…”
































































































“Viola!”
Viola: “Me? Wow. The whole world wants to see me continue. With this support, I shall work even harder!”
Bernice: “Hmph!”
Taylor: “Why her?”
Mimi: “Why not me? Am I not demure and cute enough? I need the exemption!”
“For those interested, this is what our ex-contestants voted:

Ironically, nobody voted for Viola. Maybe our ex-contestants know something the viewers don’t? Here are the total votes.




















You are all dismissed.”



Taylor: “Well, the viewers are confident of me winning, that is why they choose not to give me the exemption. They probably pity Viola.”
Bernie: “Let me calculate the probability of you winning…67.5%.”
Taylor: “I don’t know how you get all these numbers. Your brain must be a computer. But as all technology, you will be outsmarted. I know something that you don’t.”
Bernie: “Oh? I’m not sure what a young, stubborn girl like you would have that would interest me.”
Taylor: “You’re great at holding grudges, aren’t you? Well…let me propose a deal. If the next mission allows it, you let me earn that final exemption.”
Bernie: “A deal? You’ve got to be more convincing then, you bumpkin. I fail to see what you have that is worthy of that exemption. I have something that all of you don’t too. The deal is off.”
