- The four remaining contestants compete in some sports against some champions of those sports, while trying to avoid going against the champion of their particular sport, are challenged to identify a celebrity that one of them had photographed in Melbourne with their permission, and have to perform some tasks, some relatively straightforward, others more unpleasant, with the spin of a roulette wheel deciding which task or tasks they must perform, before their latest knowledge about the Mole is tested by another computer quiz from which the person with the lowest score is eliminated.—Allister Coots
- The four remaining contestants met host Grant Bowler, who asked them to choose one person who was comfortable in the glamour world of photography. The group chose Abby, and were then told that she would be flown to Melbourne, where she would take a photo of a recognisable celebrity, with that person's permission. She would return to Hobart later that day, and if the rest of the group could identify the celebrity she had photographed, A$10,000 would be added to the kitty.
After Abby was driven to the airport, the rest of the group were set another challenge, to participate in one of three sports, go-kart racing, archery or lawn bowls, against a person who was a champion of one of the three sports. The group would receive photographs of the three opponents, but would not have a clue as to which person was a champion in which sport. Each contestant would choose one of the three sports and the person they would compete against, with the aim of avoiding a contest against the champion of their chosen sport. If they could win at least one of the contests, the group would earn A$5,000 for the kitty.
Alan was first up, and he chose go-kart racing, but was soundly defeated in his contest, though the fact that his opponent was the go-kart champion provided him with some solace. Jan chose archery, and although she was more competitive than Alan, she still lost easily to her opponent, even though that person was actually the lawn bowls champion. That left it up to Linda and her lawn bowls match. Close to the end of the contest, the archery champion had two balls close to the jack, but Linda's final shot knocked them both away from the jack while putting one of her balls the closest - by what seemed a miracle, she had won the money for the group kitty.
Meanwhile, Abby had landed in Melbourne, and her first thought for the celebrity to photograph was a tennis player, as an event that was part of the "grand slam" of tennis, the Australian Open, was in progress at Melbourne Park. She was able to get a security guard to grant her access to the centre court, which had just recently been renamed the Rod Laver Arena, and while she was there, she was able to photograph Jelena Dokic, but after Abby left the complex, she realised that she had forgotten to ask Jelena for her permission to photograph her. She hunted in several cafés and hotels in the search for another celebrity without success, but eventually, she found a Seven Network sports presenter and an Australian Football League player from the Essendon Bombers, asked for their permissions and photographed them.
Back in Hobart, Abby had to choose one of the two photographs that she had taken as the one to show the rest of the group to identify, and she selected the footballer. Although Alan seemed not to have a clue as to who he was, Linda again saved the day for the group when she correctly identified him as James Hird, ensuring success at the challenge.
Next day, the contestants were taken to the Wrest Point Casino in Hobart, where each of them was presented with an envelope. The envelopes would present the contestants with pairs of tasks, consisting of one task that was relatively straightforward and another that was a little more unpleasant. Three of the envelopes had two tasks each on them, while the fourth envelope contained all of the pairs of tasks from the other three envelopes. The spin of a roulette wheel would decide which of the tasks the contestant had to perform - if the ball landed on a black number, the person had to do the straightforward task, but if it landed on a red number, the person had to do the more unpleasant task. If at least three of the contestants completed their tasks, they would win A$10,000 for the kitty.
Jan was the first to have the wheel spun for her tasks, with her envelope indicating that if her spin was black, she had to dye her hair, but if it was red, she had to have her hair shaved. Her spin came up black, so she dyed her hair with a strong red tint. Next was Abby - the tasks in her envelope stated that if her spin landed on black, she had to have an acupuncture session, but if her spin landed on red, she had to have her eyebrow pierced. Her spin was black, and although she was initially nervous about the acupuncture session, she went through with it. Linda was next to face the wheel, and her envelope's tasks were to paint a nude if her spin came up on black, or to be painted in the nude if it came up red. Her spin landed on red, so she posed nude for an artist in a shop window in a crowded Hobart market square. Alan received the envelope that contained all three task pairs, and all three of his spins hit black, so he dyed his hair blonde, drew a crude nude portrait and had an acupuncture session. As a result, all four contestants had completed their envelope tasks and the money was won.
Back at their hotel, the final four contestants faced their next quiz about the actions and identity of the Mole. The remaining players had struck back against the Mole, winning the money from all three challenges, taking the prize kitty to A$95,000 out of a possible A$170,000. After the contestants had all answered the quiz questions, they faced Grant for the elimination. Jan and Alan saw green screens after Grant typed their names into the computer, but the screen went red after Linda's name was entered - although she had single-handedly won two of the group's three challenges and played a part in the other, she was eliminated because she had scored the lowest in the quiz.
