Still in Uspallata, the players, now down to seven, face additional physical challenges as they compete in their next mission.
In the abandoned and roofless train station, once used as a holding station for prisoners in transit, the players are individually chained to cell bars and one by one, they vote who can advance to another cell where the key, and an exemption card, will release them from their bonds. It is an issue of trust, and much discussion, because if one player takes the exemption card, the others will remain in place throughout the bitterly cold night. The last player has to decide whether it is worth taking both.
At dinner, in addition to adding money to the final pot, the players get new journals, which don't seem to matter too much to them.
The next day, they drive down the Andes toward Mendoza, relaxing on the beautiful drive therough the Uspallata valley with views of the snow-topped Andes and Lake Potrerillos. Relaxing that is, until the male players in one van start squabbling and most leave to join the players in the other van.
Their next stop is 5.5 miles away from the Cerro de la Gloria, a famous monument to heroes of the Argentine independence from Spain. Earning an automatic exemption because he used the word at breakfast, one player is named the Transportation Captain, and instructed to form teams of two and asssign them the means of transportation for their travel to the monument. He has at his disposal bikes, unicycles, a donkey with a conquistador costume, scuba suits, and a llama costume. The team assigned the llama suit is immediately affronted and opt out of the mission. So do the others, with the exeption of the player already garbed in armor.
Taking the vans, they speed toward the point where Jon Kelley and the transportation captain await them. At dinner that night, Jon discusses the Mole Revolution and announces there will be no money won that round. Following the meal with Argentine red wine, the players take the quiz at the old Mendoza train station. A popular player is executed and leaves the game.
Now down to six, the remaining players wonder what will happen next. And where? {Bungee jumping is the teaser for the next episode.}
Who is The Mole? Any guesses?
