I haven't watched the ending yet...my kids are kind of interested or i wouldn't have watched. I can't believe that anyone thought they were supposed to be 'acting'. I thought it was made clear it was a reality show and not meant to be taken seriously.

Anyhoo, we weren't sure what to think until we saw the tiger in the kitchen (lion?) Then we laughed our behinds off.

We think it would be most fun to be killed off, then you get to participate in the 'murder' scene and be a corpse on the slab.

And here is what I don't get...does the person who is actually the murder know along that he/she is the murderer? Or are they just as surprised as everyone else when the end is revealed?

I guess I'lll find out!

I like this show. It's inventive. I am thrilled with the ending.

I was really happy it was Cam who won. I really liked him all along. I had thought Chris was the killer early on. I also wondered if the "murderer" knew all along it was them, or if they found out at the end. Still, Chris did re-create all the murders in flashbacks, so I wonder if they filmed those before or after she was revealed as the killer.

I've heard many stories so not sure if she was hired to be the killer or picked or something else. Anyway I'm glad Lindsay didn't win because she annoyed me. I believe the first "victim" Sheri was hired to be the first one killed.

I'd love it if these guys would come forward with their stories of filming and characters, etc. I'd love to know some "behind the scenes" info... I know Cam got a quarter million (he's a lawyer for Homeland Security--I would think he had lots of money), but what did the others get paid? And who decided who was leaving each week. Did they know ahead of time when they'd be written out? So many questions....

I was under the understanding that the kille knew who they were all along, since they had to play the role and keep the clues shielded as much as possible. Also, I think the killer was "paid" to be an actor, not an actual player in the game, sort of like that "Mole" show that used to come on, if anyone has ever watched that years back. "The Mole" had a secret identity, but was a distraction from all of the hints from being revealed.

In any case, Chris was never "SCARED" on this entire episode, to me a dead giveaway that she was the killer, and she was also very close to Kam (on his team) so I figured he was the killer or the killer was in close proximity with him since he had so many clues down in great detail.

To answer one of the other questions: I believe the player(s) murdered each episode weighed on how well they solved the crime. The player that came up with the least amount of clues and had the murder plot story twisted up the worst was the one "killed" each episode. At the end of each show, each player would tell their version of how the person was murdered, so the killer was basing the next murder upon their stories......I believe.

My question I'm still pondering is did the killer have the opportunity to "favor" certain players by sharing or allowing more details to certain players (like Kam)?

Exactly and partly because of this I felt the finale was rather anti-climatic. Plus them showing the fog all around Lindsay and Kam and hearing them call out for Melina, but not showing (or hearing) Cris let you know right up front that Melina was dead and Cris was indeed the killer.

The rest of the show was a simple race to finish first, not necessarily to have the most correct information this time like all the previous episodes. So as soon as Kam finished first you knew he was the winner. Cemented by the fact that Lindsay's message was different than the one Kam and Cris received, therefore making her not the winner.

At the end of the show one of the graphics on the screen said that each 'victim' was chosen based on a written exam they took after they had done their investigation. So the videos they showed with them making their accusations were merely for the sake of the audience.

I really liked The Mole and this one just doesn't compare to it for me anyways. I stayed with it just to see who the killer really was. That's kind of a sad statement when I think about it. lol

I thought the show could have been better. The "acting" on the show was just awful. Melina was so irritating that I thought she was trying to act for the cameras. (Wouldn't be surprised if some of these reality TV participants were trying to become actors.) No way someone could REALLY be that over-the-top about fake murders.

I thought that they would have been smarter about it and that they would have made the murderer scared at least once. It's not like it's that hard to do. Oh well.

Rob Has A Podcast interviewed the finalists. I think Lindsay was on laughing gas during this interview....it's an hour and ten minutes long, but interesting...all the game secrets!
