The Players

In order to make remembering the contestants easier, I’ve divided them into groups. I'll give you the basic stats, a quote from their bios, and a quick note or odd fact.

The Young Guns:

Alex- 31 year old musician from PA. "He doesn't want to compromise his aspirations of being a musician, thus he works odd jobs and lives at home with his parents while waiting for his big break." Speaks Spanish and considers himslef an expert marksman.

Bobby- 25 year old restaurant manager from PA. "He knows the game well and has a solid strategy to form coalitions with less intelligent players that he can lead astray. Bobby considers himself loveable and generous but also stubborn and vengeful. Bobby used to work as a restaurant manager until recently when his restaurant closed down. Bobby feels that his knowledge of the game guarantees him a spot in the final three players. " Arrogant much? Hopefully he's just drawn that way.

Paul- 29 year old utility worker/on-air talent from NY. "He feels he has an advantage in the Mole because growing up, his father worked for a spy gadget company and would use the gadgets to spy on his kids. Paul considers confidence, his best trait and his worst trait. He admits and his wife will readily agree that he just doesn't know when to shut up. " Think Rob Mariano.

The Blondes:

Ali- 24 year old mactor from St. Louis. You might know her as a UFC Octagon Girl. "She celebrated her 21st birthday with Motley Crüe in Las Vegas. But now, she treats her body as a temple. She has strong religious beliefs and has settled down with her boyfriend, a UFC fighter." She claims to have a 75% accuracy rate with shotguns and is experienced in fishing.

Kristen- 35 year old neuroscientist/model/equestrian from Santa Monica. "She says, competing her entire life as an equestrian and scientist has made her hone skills that will serve her well in the game. She believes her athleticism, and her naturally strategic mind will also be assets. " My pre-show pick as the mole. Although I hope I'm wrong because she annoys me.

Marcie- 31 year old stay-at-home mom from CA. " Marcie got pregnant in high school and married her high school sweetheart. But Marcie believes that being a stay-at-home mom is the most important job that anyone can have. Stay-at-home moms are not people that can't do anything else, they just choose to raise their families rather than pursue a career." Spanish is her first language and she speaks it fluently.

The Minorities:

Clay- 32 year old lawyer from PA. "Clay thinks he can outsmart the other players in the game because he is usually smarter than most people. Clay admits he suffers a bit from OCD. He has been known to touch a light switch ten times before he can leave a room. " He likens his household to the Cosby family.

Nicole- 32 year old OBGYN from Chicago. "She says she can be street or professional when she needs to be. She has a strong personality and isn't shy letting her opinions known. She's very proud of being a doctor and has no problem with being considered a diva. " My Pre-show pick for Winner.

Victoria- 26 year old retail manager from TX. "Victoria is a spunky, former pageant girl and cheerleader from a small town in Texas. She once told pageant judges her favorite reality show was "The Mole" because one gets to be deceptive in the game. This did not go over so well on the wholesome pageant judges. " She admits one of her flaws is that she cusses like a sailor.

The Others:

Craig- 30 year old graphic designer from San Diego. "Craig has been overweight his entire life so he developed a sense of humor to make friends. He is a lovable prankster with a big heart, and his magnetic personality has gotten him through life. Craig plans on using his endearing nature and non-threatening appearance to win the players' trust and then manipulate them. Craig knows his physical limitations, but says this can be an asset in the game because everyone will underestimate him. " Looks like Craig stole my spot!!! Bastard!

Liz- 60 year old retiree from Montana. "When her husband passed away, she decided to adopt two children and raise them on her own. She has an 18-year-old daughter, a senior in high school, and a 20-year-old son in the army, who recently gave her a grandchild." My pre-show pick for first out.

Mark- 42 year old high school teacher/soccer coach from Wisconsin. "He plays to win and has no tolerance for whiners. He says his IQ is 143. His strategy is to figure out an "end game", where he foresees the end of the most advantageous route for himself and does everything in his power to manipulate things towards that result. " Think Martin Sheen on steroids.
