So, Kesi faces some scrutiny, but not as much as I thought. I still think she could be the Mole and had to take a risk of more suspicion to lose money.
So, Casey is eliminated, which...I gotta stop suspecting people more right before they're eliminated. Which is why Kesi/Jacob are still my top two suspects, and always have been. Them being in the game takes them one step closer to being the Mole, or winner, or both. I do like that they've been my consistent guesses for being the Mole since episode 1 and it hasn't changed.
I love we're getting the mental missions this go around. The painting mission was fun, AND I love that my top two suspects chose differently. Plus, this mission still makes it a bit challenging. The Mole can either go for the exemption to take it from others, or they're still fine to take the quiz anyway so they can trick others to vote with them.
The storytelling vs interrogation aspect was fun. The Mole being a Storyteller could be good because they'd already have the story set up for them, if they ARE the one lying. If they're the ones with the truth, they'd just need to start lying.
If the Mole is the interrogator, their job is easier. They'd know who is the liar and their only job would be to convince the other interrogators that someone else is the liar.
It was fun to try to guess along with the other interrogators. Jacob's story was nuts, but it was something I could believe because it was that absurd. Joi's story was very simple, not a lot to it beyond a python being set on her shoulders. Avori's was so different from Jacob and Joi's that it could be fake, but I feel like I could have seen it. Plus, a story where you could easily get caught in a lie? No, hers is somewhat believeable.
My initial gut feeling is that it's Joi because Jacob/Avori both had something they had to do but Joi simply had to stand around. But yeah, I was wrong and I'm glad I got tricked. And I like that one of my suspects had to lie and the other voted another way.
Joi calling out Jacob is....an interesting tactic. Especially after Joi's cost them missions so often. I guess she IS chaotic. Curious to see how Jacob responds, genuinely.
