Yuku free message boards

...until Van #2 sings, and they tried (but failed) to produce a proper encore last night.

Ditto for what you guys have said. I knew people would be disappearing left and right once the show went off the air but I didn't anticipate it to happen so quickly. Looking at the ABC Mole board, the first page contains messages that haven't been replied to in almost a week. You'd think fans would take a more active role in trying to save a show they've spent over two months watching.

The next few months should be interesting. I see ABC taking two routes with the show now: they will either send a notice informing the press and fans that the show is being renewed, or they will keep quiet and let the show die a quiet death (in order to avoid the backlash from fans). I say the next few months should be interesting because of what will happen with all of the Save The Mole campaigns. If interest for the campaigns continue strong for months after the show has aired, then I see ABC going with the former option. Otherwise, if interest suddenly dies down and people go about their normal lives, ABC will see it as a defeat and have no reason to bring it back for another season.

The key here in the coming months is to maintain interest. Don't let the boards dry up. Doing so will not only prove to ABC that The Mole isn't worth saving, but also cause the Mole message board on Sucks to be converted to another show for good. This is our last chance to see a US Mole season. If the show isn't renewed for a 6th season, I strongly doubt we'll be seeing it produced for US television again.

Here Here, G.S.!!! I agree with you, and even though i didnt find a comfortable fit over at the ABC message boards like i have found here, i'll still go over there, log in and comment just to be an active person in the fight to save our show!

A couple of things that i wanted to tell you G.S., Thanks for your insite on the show as well. I know i gave u some props in my posts before, but just on a more personal tip, I really appreciated your contributions as well, and i really have enjoyed reading and learning from you too. Also, U got me in trouble at work (lol) because i have not been able to stop watching the clips from the "mole from around the world"! I was so surprised to see that other countries have the mole and i enjoyed watching them sooo much that my boss was behind me while i was completely transfixed on the AUS Molers trying to clear a parking lot filled with cars out of the lot, i still have to watch the rest of those so i can see who the mole was, i just cant do it here at the office any more (lol)
oh and i also had to laugh cause u share my love for the paul free in van #2 song....

please tell me what u meant by they tried to do an encore of the van #2 song last night? what did i miss by going to the gym?!

save the mole everybodyyyyyyyyyyy

CoCo!

Thanks CoCo, I appreciate it. Although I was set in my prediction of Mark as The Mole from episode 5 onwards and he turned out to be the winner, I still believe he would have made the better Mole given the editing. Too many things were too coincidental for him not to be a Mole pick for me: from giving a proper "I'm not The Mole" motive right off the hop in episode 1 ("need $ so my wife won't have to work"), to not selecting himself for the goal-oriented team (Mark is a big fan of the show after all, so he understands how the mission titles play into the mission itself), to the whole "I'm now doing this for me and only me / I can't trust anyone" setup after his journal was burnt coupled with the fact that the following mission (All for One) would play off his new attitude perfectly and thus give him the perfect opportunity to sabotage (or reinforce that he is not The Mole to the other unsuspecting players). Sure, he put a lot of money into the pot when he didn't have to, but he also lost the most amount of money. Anyway, I'm getting off track.

Ya, those foreign seasons are great. It will prove to be a great way to bide your time as you wait for the next season (or for an announcement from ABC/Stone & Co.). The trick is to spread them out. Don't watch them all in a span of a week or two. Watch 3 or 4 episodes a week and you'll keep yourself entertained for a good part of fall and winter. That's what I'm trying to do with watching Australian Mole 5.

Regarding the encore of the van #2 song on Monday night, 6 of the players (Paul, Alex, Liz, Clay, Nicole, Bobby) were interviewed over the phone at the same time for 2 hours and fans could call in or type in chat questions for the players. People in chat started asking the hosts of the interview to ask the players to sing the Paul Free song and they did...sort of. You can stream the full interview or download it. Paul arrives at around the 8:20 mark in the interview, Bobby at 11:25, Nicole/Alex/Clay at 19:45, Liz at 44:20. You can also find individual interviews with Marcie and Paul/Alex on that site.

WATCH OUT, YOUR BOSS IS COMING!!
