ABC bringing back 'The Mole'- premeires Mon. June 2nd 10/9c

Man, I loved this show when it first started airing like in 2001. Anderson Cooper was a great host. They took it off the air after a few years, then brought back with Ahmad Rashad as the host. The show was never the same. Then they just canceled it all together.

I think The Mole is the best reality show ever made. I'm def. going to be watching.

 

I loved it too. Though I was NOT a fan of celebrity Mole. I will be watching it as well.

 

I really liked the show too. Celebrity Mole kind of sucked but the first 2 seasons were really cool. I'm glad it's coming back. I'll be watching.

I'd love to actually be on the show and be the mole.

 

Just make sure not to read those internet spoilers about who is actually the Mole.

 

The mole is definitely the best reality game show. It is already a great show, but I think they could even make it better with the challenges, there is so much potential for this show.

 

the concept of this show is great, the execution leaves much to be desired.

i don't have a better idea how i would do it, but the elimination process is ridiculous. basically, either you get 100% of the corrections correct, or you may as well draw out of a hat to decide who goes home of the remaining contestants who didn't correctly identify the mole.

coincidentally, my pick to be the mole is Victoria, the chick pictured by the previous poster. i'd pick the girl that they stranded on the beach, but she seems way too over the top and would be way over-acting if it's her.

anybody else care to make an early prediction?

 

A smart person would spread out their answers and not isolate them to any one person in the early going. That seems to be the best way to ensure you get at least a few questions right. At this point, you're really not trying to be the best on the test, just not the worst.

One of the questions was if the mole slept inside or outside on the first night. I'd put inside because 8 stayed in and 4 stayed out (or were supposed to) and if I had no clue then I'd just have to go with the percentages.

I do like that Nicole b****ed about sleeping outside on the first night and ended up having to sleep outside on the 2nd night anyway.

It's way too early to make predictions. Right off the bat, the chick who got eliminated said that a good strategy is to make people think you're the mole, even if you're not. She's exactly right. So right now you've got half of the contestants dragging their feet trying to make themselves look suspicious. They're willing to sacrifice money in the pot if it helps them win the game.

The most notable "feet draggers" are the first guy who went on the waterfall challenge, Nicole, and from the beach challenge the guy in the Yankees gear and the guy wheezing like an 80 year old asthmatic.

From what I remember, the mole doesn't try to sabotage every challenge. That would be too obvious. If other players want to sabotage it themselves to make people thing that they're the mole, the real mole is more than happy to let them. I would not be surprised if the mole didn't do anything to take money out of the pot in this first episode.

 

"spreading out your answers" isn't going to give you a much higher chance of getting any right in this case. too tired to go into much detail explaining. obviously though, in instances like you said, you can play the %'s where you can, but i'm guessing they are all smart enough to figure stuff like that out, which negates those questions.

i'm guessing the mole did nothing to sabotage today, and i bet they wait till week 3 to do so. it's still fun to make a prediction based on their actions and personalities and see if anybody nails it on week 1.

 

I accidentally read a spoiler someone pointed out about one of those clues as to who the mole is. Hopefully it's a red herring so that I can figure it out throughout the season. Love the show.

 

I don' t think the utility worker is The Mole. He is too loud/obnoxious and usually they always have reserved people as The Mole in previous seasons. I would think The Mole would be one of the more professional people on the show.

 

My wife has been going ON AND ON about this show. She TiVo'ed it last night and wants to watch it tonight. I was thinking about going in the other room, but seeing that there are people here who dig it, I may have to check it out.

AGREE WITH THE PART ABOUT SPOILERS!!! Please use them!!

 

i'm still liking my prediction of Victoria as the mole. something about her mannerisms and reactions, particularly at the executions, don't sit right with me. and her first act of sabotage could have been the ordeal at the luge/fruit challenge.

i'm kind of hoping though, that paul is the mole. it would be awesome if he's able to sustain this ******* image throughout the show just as an act.


anybody else have any thoughts on the show thus far?

 

I think it could be the fat guy.

 

same here...that's my early prediction as well.

 

man, Paul..what a toxic personality.

 

Down to the last three...

I really think it's Craig now.
