Soiltary 3.0 had a super fan this season and his name was RobRob. If you were a fan of Solitary you probably felt right there with him as he represented everyone who loves reality tv and finally got the chance of their dreams. We got the chance to ask RobRob a few questions about his life as Solitary 3.0’s Pod 4. He let’s us know how Val’s experience compared to his home built Pod and how his life has changed since the show.
Congrats on making the final two RobRob and congrats on getting on the show! It seems hard lately for fans of any reality show to get cast. What are your suggestions for those who want to apply for future seasons of Solitary or their favorite reality shows?
Thank you. It was like a dream come true. When anyone asks me about getting on the show, I like to direct them to the testimonial I wrote for the website which I got cast from www.realitywanted.com. The direct link is http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/1616-a-note-from-realitywanted-member-rob-hekal-of-solitary-30.
Can you let us in on how you practiced for the show? You said many times that you practiced things like counting the minutes and writing backwards. Were these things you knew Val would throw at you are just things you did for fun?
To practice for the show, I built my own pod in my living room. I decided to make it half the size of a real pod so the real one wouldn’t feel so confining. I practiced most of the tests and treatments from the first two seasons. But my main focus was on the 8 things that were similar between the first two seasons like beds of nails, eating, spinning, brain washing, time estimation, sleep deprivation etc… As you could see, my time estimation was horrible even after all of my practice. It was shocking. At first I tried to make excuses for it like Val counting or the eulogy, but we were all under the same conditions, so I just sucked and deserved to be hung from the ropes. As for writing backwards, I have been doing that since I was a child. I even taught myself to write left handed, and write backwards with both hands. No one knows what Val is going to throw at them while in Solitary. Most of the angst is caused because of this fact of never knowing what she is going to do to us next.

Last time on The Escape Chuck was gone while the first exemption challenge began. The challenge was to gain three similar colored skulls while trading and stealing from other cast members. As the players sped through choosing their skulls it seemed little strategy was used. Nobody played the trade/steal skulls like they were supposed too until the very end, allowing Joleen to win and comeback. She gained exemption for round which can be used sometime during her stay in the game and she could give it away as well. During her confessional Amanda let us know that they will be voting off Chuck due to him being gone from the game. It’s a bit unfair to Chuck but the fans voted for a random person to disappear and he just got the bad luck this time around. As everyone discussed voting out Chuck they made a realization that being he has a big following on BlogTV that Chuck will have a chance, hopefully, to come back into the game due to viewers.
Later that day the cast entered the room to see Chuck back. They were then quickly thrown into voting someone to gain a food reward. Rob went in first and voted for Joey, Joey voted for Chuck, Chuck and Joleen voted for Amanda, while Chuck voted for Amanda. In the end the votes were tallied and Chuck got to eat a caesar salad but he only had a few minutes to eat as the players were getting ready to vote someone out. Viewers chose the players to cast ther votes using “Video Vote” which would keep them anonymous but on camera. While Shane and Rob tried to swing the votes for a girl, Jordan still pushed for Chuck to leave. Amanda and Jordan then talked and thought Joleen should go if she was going to give away her immunity. Chuck was in on their voting him though as everyone was being overly nice.
Steven then called the players together and the votes began. Joey was first in and voted for Chuck while Chuck voted for Jordan since he didn’t think anyone would vote for him. Shane was in the voting booth third and didn’t know who to vote while Amanda voted for Joleen, changing things up. Joleen entered next and went with the crowd by voting for Chuck as did Rob. We didn’t get to see a few of the votes but it was obvious that Chuck was going home. To symbolize his elimination Chuck’s picture was burned and he revealed that he was voted out due to the twist. Nobody was told that Chuck was taken out randomly due to the viewer vote and believed that he was living things up while actually stuck alone in a room. But with Chuck gone we were down to six and Joleen gained her clue due to winning the immunity. Shane and Rob also gained a clue thanks to their reward win. Shane believed his clue led him to look behind the blinds, finding a key which enabled him to remove one of the locks from the door to escape.

Posted by REALITY REHASH on August 11, 2008 under ABC, The Mole
This may be the last season of the Mole but at least it was entertaining and brought a few shocks along the way. After a few short clips from past player, well mostly useless Bobby, the winner of the $420,000 was crowned. Mark become the fifth winner of the Mole and he deserves every bit of it. He played the best game, in my eyes, as he took countless notes and didn’t get caught up in too much drama.
When Mark was revealed as the winner it was then time to reveal who was the Mole. With it being between Craig and Nicole I was still somewhat stumped but hoped it was my pick who I mentioned last week: Craig. In fact the Mole WAS Craig and I was glad to finally have been right! Several players knew it was Craig towards the end, Paul and Nicole actually tied in the second to last execution. Since both knew Craig was the Mole, Paul’s slower time of taking the quiz sent him packing and put Nicole into the finals.
Some other interesting things from the finale were how many times Mark almost went home. He didn’t start using Craig as the Mole until the final quiz where he got 17/20 questions right over Nicole’s 13/20. Mark actually would have gone home if Victoria didn’t miss click so it shows just how important the quizzes and timing are in the game of the Mole. Some other interesting things were about Craig and how he pulled off some sabotages. In most of the challenge he threw some type of wrench into the mix. For instance he purposely talked after the lugeing mission and purposely dropped the bag in the first. Although he did have to sabotage a lot, Craig’s trip to the hospital for hypothermia was real. That probably scared the producers a bit, wonder what would have happened had their Mole had to drop out of the game?
Overall the Mole, which may never air a new season, was a great summer show that brought back the original format. It didn’t go over in the ratings as well as the first two did but I loved it and I think the die hard fans did as well. It was nice to see a return, if he comes back again I’ll surely watch and hope its as good as this season was!
