Addendum to Ep. 5 Private Confessional, which I sent the next morning (aka how I slept on things and caught on to who The Mole was)

Okay, I sort of slept on this, and I feel like there's something I said in the private confessional I sent you last night that I need to retract. I stated that if Elise is The Mole, the whole deal with the bio was unethical in, like, the grand scheme of the game or whatever. But there's something that I failed to consider as a possibility. Elise refused to provide her bio... then you posted that message saying people had nothing to gain by withholding their information... and Elise then CAME to me and said "okay, I guess I'll share now." If she had NOT come to me and said that, then it'd be unethical, but she did do it, and it makes me think that there's a possibility, far-fetched as it seems, that the whole thing was staged: her refusal to provide her information, your post about it, and her coming back and offering to take me up on exchanging (the last of these two events occurred on the SAME date, by the way). The most important thing I wish to get across with this, though, is that if Elise is The Mole, I'm really sorry that I said what I said because I obviously didn't consider this scenario (which, if it indeed was staged as I described, that is a BRILLIANT thing to have done).

The annoying thing was, she did the same thing to me and I fell for it.

Great job, Jill!

It really was an incredibly smart thing of Elise to do. But like I've said to other people, I HAVE to admit that I didn't realize it immediately. In fact, she did it to me in round 3 and I didn't realize it till round 5, which was the round you got executed. It was kind of this thing that I, like, slept on it, and all of a sudden realized that Travis' message board post saying "You have nothing to gain by withholding bio information" seemed too conveniently timed, coupled with her suddenly saying "oh well, now that the host said that, I guess I'm willing to share now."
