24.09-Don't go philosophical on me, Miss Smartypants

Previously, the 10 contestants had to try out keys to open chests which contained valuable items (or not). 170/200 points were earned, bringing the pot to 465/850 points. Bernard and Joanna found an exemption, while Rebecca, Herman and Olivia found a correction, to which Herman and Olivia used. In the end, it was Randolph that was the next to be executed, and he left with a vengeance. Who will be next?

Yvonne: "All of them are trash..."

Rebecca: "Interesting. I have a lot of records about what Yvonne says while she sleeps."

***

Oliver: "You're so small and petite. It's like the wind can just blow you down. You need to exercise. Come and join me."

Rebecca: "Exercise is not my thing."

Oliver: "But it's key to good health."

Rebecca: "Who wants to live forever anyway?"

Oliver: "Don't go philosophical on me, Miss Smartypants."

***

Herman: "I thought cooking was fun. Turns out it's not that easy."

Yvonne: "Look, a penny."

Rebecca: "Yvonne...sometimes I want to strangle her."

***

Sean: "Hey Rebecca. Can I just call you Beck? It's okay if you mind."

Rebecca: "It's fine. What is it?"

Sean: "You read a lot right? I mean, you're a librarian, of course you do. You're surrounded by books. So I was wondering. I heard 'The Tales of Odyssey III' came out recently. Do you have a review on it?"

Rebecca: "It's nice to see you interested in books. Personally, I think it's a gripping book, surpassing its predecessors. But I can't say much without spoiling it. All I can say is that I highly encourage you read it."

Sean: "Thanks man...woman...Beck."

Rebecca: "It's nice to be able to communicate on an intellectual level with Sean. At least we share a common interest. I must admit. The first time I saw him, I didn't think too highly of him, but now I see that he's quite charming, how he defies stereotypes and everything. I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover."

In this next mission, the 9 contestants have to stand on the 9 platforms. There will be a secret number that will trigger a steam bomb. They must avoid the bomb number. If 21 numbers have been called out and all of them still survive, 100 points will be earned, all or nothing.

Oliver: "I received a note from the Mole. It's really interesting. Anyway, he wants me to 'call out 73 before 21 turns' to earn a correction. It didn't make sense before but now it does, seeing the mission. I'm thinking that this is the magic number that will set off the bomb. Should I get a correction and sacrifice 100 points? I probably should. After all, it's a selfish game. But I can't be too obvious. I'll call it when it's my turn for the 3rd time. I've got a plan to win, baby!"

***

"Pick a number from 1-100."

Bernard: "Halving it is pointless, and I bet the number could be 50 if the Mole was cruel, so...52."

1-52.

Joanna: "Hmm...if we want to win we must drag this out, so it was a stupid move, but I have to live with it, so 51."

1-51

Oliver: "Thanks a lot, man. There goes my correction. Better record this down first. Sigh..okay, what's half of that? Oh, 26."

1-26

Olivia: "This is so suspenseful. How about...3? I don't want to get drenched."

3-26.

Herman: "You only live once, so take a gamble for once! I say 9!"

9-26.

Yvonne: "It's clearly a double digit. How about 10?"

10-26.

Sean: "Like 25. Whatever."

10-25.

Rebecca: "The Mole wouldn't pick a round number unless he's smart. But to last 21 turns means that I have to call small numbers. So, 24."

10-24

Patrick: "22."

10-22.

Bernard: "I should have put more thought before I called out a number. I don't think we can go very far. Sorry. I guess I'll pick 21 then."

"21."

Bernard: "What?"

Bernard: "Unlucky me."

Bernard: "I'm wet now."

Bernard: "Sorry guys."

"The mission is over. 0/100 points have been earned, so the pot is still at 465/950 points. Bernard gets a hidden exemption for being bombed though."

Sean: "How many exemptions has he gotten already? And two of them were hidden exemptions. He has some dumb luck, man. Or he knows something we don't. If you know what I mean."

***

Bernard: "I better not go deaf. My hearing is already quite bad."

Rebecca: "Do you like...romance novels?"

Sean: "Um..."

Oliver: "Yo what are you two lovebirds talking about?"

Rebecca: *blushes*

Patrick: "That was a complete disaster. And it's all Bernard's fault. And Oliver too, for halving our chances."

Bernard: "Honestly it'll take forever for me to dry and I don't want to get sick."

Bernard: "Just march on in there and take a nice, hot shower."

24.08-Hippo snot

In the last episode, contestants had to test out keys on chests. 170/200 points were earned. Bernard and Joanna earned an exemption, while Herman, Rebecca and Olivia found a correction.

First time a deer visits our house and grazes at our front lawn.

Yvonne: "I could have sworn I saw Dimitri watching us through the windows somewhere. I will kick him where it hurts the most if I see him again."

Yvonne: "Better head back inside now. Ooh, a deer."

Olivia: "GOOD MORNING BERNARD!"

Bernard: "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Olivia; "Even Herman is older, and he can handle it."

Olivia: "You must be judging me right now."

Bernard: "Psychoanalysing."

Olivia: "I bet you think I'm a llama."

Bernard: "Not really."

***

Yvonne: "Hahaha! Bernard was scared!"

Randolph: "Good morning Yvonne."

Yvonne: "Good morning. Oh yes."

Yvonne: "Why did you not earn any points or get anything in the last mission? Are you trying to sabotage?"

Randolph: "Time was tight. I tell you it was all a conspiracy--"

Yvonne: "I've heard enough about you and your conspiracies. You're annoying."

Randolph: "No need to be so fierce. I'm not the only one."

Yvonne: "I'll confront all of them, not to worry."

Randolph: "Hmph. Don't believe me then. It's your funeral."

Rebecca: "Reading can take you to amazing places."

Herman: "Really? That sounds fun."

Rebecca: "And you don't have to move an inch."

Herman: "You've got me. Reading sounds like something that will suit my physical ability. Maybe I'll try it."

Rebecca: "Excellent choice."

***

Yvonne: "Oliver, why did you not earn any points for the team?"

Oliver: "I tried, but there was so little time. And the keys were really deep down. I wasted a lot of time trying to get it out and try every single lock."

Olivia: "Don't beat him up, Yvonne. I believe we all tried our best. I hope so, at least."

Herman: "Well, maybe I should start reading my journal. Reading my own work will be interesting. Boy, joining this show makes me feel like a little boy studying for a test again."

Patrick: "So many of them found corrections and exemptions. Things are really not looking good for me."

Randolph: "Patrick. Come over here."

Patrick: "Look, if it's another one of your conspiracy theories..."

Randolph: "Why does nobody believe me?"

Patrick: "It's hard to when you called me a fraud and some alien or something."

Randolph: "Well, we need to work together to escape this house. Your skills will be useful."

Patrick: "Why do we need to escape?"

Randolph: "Because I have a hunch this is all a trap. It's like Hansel and Gretel. They make us all comfy and cosy before roasting us."

***

Yvonne: "YOU! DO AS I SAY! OR ELSE!"

Oliver: "What are you doing?"

Yvonne: "Practising to boss others around. Nobody will take me seriously unless I start being fierce with them."

Herman: "How I wish I could go out and play. But we're not allowed to leave this house."

Oliver: "Yvonne, you're just distancing yourself from others. Nobody likes a fierce woman."

***

Olivia: "Don't you think it's exciting to venture into the unknown?"

Randolph: "No, it's scary. Space is a scary thing. It'll suck you up. The government is just glorifying and sugarcoating the true nature of space so as not to sound alarmist."

Patrick: "Stop feeding the troll, Olivia."

Herman: "Achoo!"

Oliver: "That better not be hippo snot on me."

Herman: "You're funny."

Oliver: "What do you think of Yvonne?"

Herman: "You're fierce. Take it from me. No man wants to marry a fierce tigress."

Yvonne: "Says the man who's in his 40s and still unmarried and unemployed."

Herman: "A job will just tie me down. I want to have fun! Explore the world, see the sights, live my life to the fullest."

***

Rebecca: "so, let us decide as one who to pick as the Mole for the upcoming quiz. Personally, I believe Randolph is quite suspicious."

Yvonne: "I second that."

Olivia: "Hmm...he does go off tangent and act crazy. You think it's just a ploy?"

Joanna: "It definitely is. So that settles it then."

Olivia: "Are we going to place all our bets on him? Don't we want to see if anyone else is a suspect first?"

Joanna: "I...I need to use the toilet. Meeting dismissed."

Olivia: "Spoken like a true businesswoman."

***

Herman: "What you're telling me is that the police are in it too? You've got to be crazy."

Randolph: "It's true."

Rebecca: "Guys, lower your volume. I'm trying to watch TV."

Patrick: "The most sensible thing I've heard all day."

***

Sean: "Peace and quiet. It can be as soothing as the sound of waves crashing against the beach."

Patrick: "Why does nobody make their bed around here?"

***

Rebecca: "You're quite the mysterious man, Patrick. I hope you're not hiding anything."

Patrick: "You're quite the mysterious woman too."

Rebecca: "That's flattering."

Rebecca: "Is Patrick the Mole? We can never be sure."

"And it is time for another execution ceremony. Tonight, one of you will be leaving us."

"Sean Blushore, please type your name into the computer."

"Unfortunately, Sean Blushore..."

"...you are staying on!"

"Yvonne Aja."

"Yvonne Aja..."

"You are safe."

"Rebecca Liberosa."

"Rebecca..."

"...you are the next..."

"...to be safe."

Rebecca: "Phew."

"Oliver Dean."

Oliver: "My palms are all sweaty now. I've never felt so nervous; not even during a big game."

"You are safe."

Oliver: "Booyeah!"

"Olivia Spring."

Olivia: "Wish me luck guys!"

"You are safe."

"It is down to the three of you. One of you will be leaving tonight."

"Herman Sheen, let us hope that your correction saved you."

"Herman Sheen..."

"...you are going on to the final 9!"

Olivia: "Yay Herman! He's my good friend. I'd be so sad if he left."

"Randolph Evan, Patrick Shwatz, one of your lights will turn green while the other will turn red."

"Randolph Evan, please proceed to the computer."

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

Randolph: "You have got to be kidding me."

Randolph: "This must be a conspiracy."

Randolph: "And you all are in it. Plotting against me. I've seen your true colours."

Rebecca: "Can't say I'm not happy."

Olivia: "Same here, honestly. It was getting unbelievable and annoying."

"Thank you for joining, Randolph."

***

Yvonne: "I should clean this sink. It's so dirty...ooh, bubbles..."

Randolph has left! Could it really be a conspiracy? Did the Mole plot all of this?
