After a recap of last week, this week's episode of The Mole got right down to business. The first mission was called "Race to the Summit." Kristen and Mark were chosen to be on the Uphill Battle Team, and the others were on the Goal Oriented Team. The Uphill Battle Team had to ride a tandem bike up these twisty hills to the summit of a statue. The Goal Oriented Team had to make their way to the gondolas (similar to ski lifts) and ride to the summit. If the bike team made it first, they'd each get exemptions; if the goal team made it first, $35,000 went into the pot.

Sounds easy, huh? Hang on there. The Goal Oriented Team had to earn their gondola tickets first. They were told that they'd have to score a goal against the Chilean National Team and were totally intimidated. If they couldn't score during a 20-minute game, then they'd be allowed to shoot penalty kicks. Jon must have meant the Chilean National U14 team because a bunch of kids ran onto the field. Oh ho, now we get all cocky. That was just a sad exhibition of futbol. The kids beat them 14-0, and Bobby continued with his show of awesome physical prowess ... I kid.

The bike team was also having problems. Supposedly the chain kept slipping off the bike and they ended up running most of the time. Finally, the Goal team won their gondola tickets when Ali was able to score on a penalty kick, but then they had to find their way to the gondola entrance. Liz is another contestant who is in no physical condition to be in this game, and she was the last to make it. They finally made it to the summit, only to learn that Kristen and Mark made it there first. Bye-bye $35,000.

The second mission was called "When Pigs Fly." They split into three teams of three, and the two odd folks made up another team. Their mission was to find 50 piggy banks hidden in town, bring them back to the station, and then use a sling shot to send them flying over a fence. The two odds were inside the fence and their job was to catch the pigs in a blanket (Get it? Heh). Jon did tell them that there was one more exemption hidden in one of the pigs, but that they'd have to break it to find it. Each pig safely returned, shot, caught and placed on a table was worth $1000, so finding the exemption would cost money.

The teams of three were set loose on the town with a wheelbarrow to cart their finds. The team with Alex did very well, because he spoke Spanish and was helped by the natives. The team with Bobby, on the other hand, was just pitiful. He supposedly was hurt and Kristen ended up pushing HIM in the wheelbarrow. Needless to say, they found no pigs. Alex's team found 26 pigs and the third team found 18. Back at the station, they were only successful in shooting and catching 28 pigs, and added $28,000 to the pot. Jon told them that it would have been $29,000, but Paul (who was an odd) broke the pig that Jon gave them and found the last exemption.

Then it was time for the quiz and execution. Liz did the worst and was executed. Nicole then had the best, but scariest, line of the night. While arguing with Paul ... again ... she told him that she could kill him in his sleep and not leave any forensic evidence, and I believe her.

Next week on The Mole, the contestants lose their clothes and Jon offers them money to leave. Do you know who The Mole is yet? What clues did you pick up in this episode? Comment below.
