SHAUN!!!!!!!!!!! (Spoilers)
I have a soft spot for Shaun. Maybe it's because he's the underdog and all the other, more attractive players have been conspiring against him from the beginning. I'm really sad to see him go. Even though I absolutely abhorred his behavior when he was introduced in the very first challenge, he earned my respect and became the player I wanted to win the game most. The problem is that he was eliminated from most players' minds as being the mole very early on. It was clear he was playing the game and trying his hardest to win. Unfortunately, this means that the four contestants that remain are Sam, Hillal, Aisha and Erin, and I don't care about any of them. Like episode #6.15, I find myself drawn away from the show once more.
The mole is definitely Erin. There's no doubt in my mind anymore. I was watching her closely this entire episode, and she's a terrible actor who acts phony throughout (just watch her feign excitement when she's not "eliminated"). Also, Shaun made it VERY clear that his number one suspect was Aisha, and now he's out of the game. My worst fear now is that Sam is going to clinch the game. He knows it's one of the girls, and by process of simple elimination, he's going to figure it out. Erin has done deliberate sabotage these last few games, beginning with the challenge where they had to spell "LIAR" in the sand (she clearly screwed that up on purpose). This latest, convoluted game with the winch was laughably manipulated by Erin. She claimed she couldn't hear Aisha shouting at her to tell Shaun to shut up, but she heard Aisha fine later on during the challenge. Also, Erin KNEW Shaun was breaking the rules, and she didn't do anything to stop him. In retrospect, it's so completely obvious. I'm disappointed it's Erin, it seems like a very unoriginal choice. I was hoping it would be Shaun or Hillal (the least likely choices), but now it's crystal clear that it's Erin. You were right, diejws. (Die Jews?)
By the way, Hillal's color commentary during Shaun's bowling was hilarious. Out of the players that remain, I hope it's either Hillal or Aisha who get the gold. I never forgave Sam for losing that $70,000 for the ultimate exemption, so I don't think it's fair if he wins the game because of it (then again, it would be appropriate, since he just ended up losing money for himself). Unfortunately, as of right now, it looks as though it's going to be Erin as the mole, and Sam as the winner. Only two more episodes remain and I'm losing interest fast.
