as the episode closes, the contestants know each other better and it seems as if there is suddenly a continental divide between them all. the older contestants don’t seem to work well with the younger and rash ones. this proves evident through the "alliances" that have been formed already. while the original alliance still stands between john and larry, others have formed alongside. whether or not the other alliances will last is a question of survival.

"Larry and I have pulled a Steven and Jim... we formed an alliance on the second day Only thing is, can I trust him? He seems trustworthy enough, but is that what he wants me to think? Who knows... I just know I'm not going to win without taking a chance like this. So, chance taken... Not a lot of cybermole activity early on, I'm thinking that the mole's going to lay low in the early going, just to make things harder for the rest of us. I don't know... I'm actually pretty worried that I'm going to be the first to go. I mean, at this point, my best hope is that someone else will make a big mistake and take themselves out of the game. And if I'm the first to go? Well... that's life." –john (confessional)

"It's kind of hard to form opinions on anyone yet as far as personalities go. But I've already got some suspicians about who the mole is. I'm pretty confident that it is one of three people. Which I think is pretty good since we’re in the first episode. I'm trying to lay pretty low right now and I'm just watching and taking in everything that happens. That's pretty much my strategy at this point." –jason (confessional)

"I'm keeping a log of all information I can find on each person. Where they're from, age, location, what they like, their jobs, if they drink coffee... anything and everything is getting written down. I'm looking for suspicious behavior but it's hard to spot any at this point. Everyone seems to be working for the team... I keep looking for clues. I look, re-look and re-re-look but I just don't see anything yet. Here's hoping I'm not blind." –annette (confessional)

"I'm so glad that our group won the first challenge. If we lose ‘the ghost’ at least we will have won 6 out of 12 bucks and that ain't bad. It seems like there are alliances forming and that's not a good thing. I feel lucky that I've been getting to know Jason better. If I get executed at least I'll know that I may get to know someone out of this thing. I can tell that some people are working together to oust others. i'm so nervous that I don't know what to think anymore...sigh." –michelle (confessional)

"I feel like I was one of maybe four people that were really trying to win the challenge. I want us to get into the grove of winning early on in the game. I tried to get the group to work hard so that the Cybermole would show his/her hand early by not working very much or trying to sabotage the challenges. I think that I noticed a few Cybermole tricks." –larry (interview)

"even though gina has offended some people, it seems that gina is in ‘ginaworld’ and that at least she doesn't try to get in anyone's face, it just happens. she just calls things as they are and i admire that she can be so truthful and blunt." –michelle (interview)

"I am not very pleased with my playing in the first episode. I wanted to keep a low profile, but yet be active. Instead I find myself trying too hard to "make new friends" - trying to be "liked" by everyone by being too active in discussions. And I haven't succeeded, to my satisfaction anyway, in any of the goals I had. Larry’s message to me "in private" was what I thought an invitation to team up. I sent him a positive reply, but have yet to hear back from him. I wonder if he simply used me to get information. My first instinct was that he was a nice guy. Maybe I am wrong. In the meantime, I am REALLY going to keep a low profile." –tine (confessional)

"Right now there isn't any conflict were so polite to each other it's annoying. I think as the group dwindles down conflicts could start. I doubt any will involve me I don't really talk to anyone on a personal level." –daniel (interview)
