It’s that time of year again, the time where 10 Dutch celebrities go on a trip and on that trip they will compete in challenges to win money for a group pot. Unfortunately one of them is being paid to surreptitiously disrupt the challenges to keep the pot small. To stay on the journey and ultimately win the pot the contestants must work out who is the mole?
This year’s journey begins in the Dominican Republic and the show will go out on Dutch channel Avro on Saturdays after a record breaking year last year. You can watch on various Dutch TV catch-up services online (here is the official site) but for discussion here we wait a few days for an English subtitled translation to pop up on Youtube thanks to out Dutch friends. We ask that you don’t discuss an episode here until the English subs have gone up, then feel free to discuss away. I will put links here to where the individual episode discussion starts in due course. You can find previous series discussed on the Specials Board.

Look out also for Daniel Peake’s The Suspect List game after each episode.
Here is a list of this year’s contestants from Squared Eyes (from left to right, that’s host Art Rooijakkers in the middle):
Klaas – host on TV, mainly for the recent years in younger aimed shows. Comparable to Pepijn from a couple of years back (2011)
Airen – upcoming, young host from SBS6. Not fairly well-known nor liked much, mainly hosting an entertainment filled news show late night.
Rop – an actor, also a character in Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden, but more in theatre and musicals.
Tim – a young, upcoming host from the public broadcaster, does a lot of shows, very well known with the ‘millenials’.
Ellie – the spokesperson of the police in Amsterdam and on the TV show “wanted” for many years.
Cecile – the former editor-in-chief from a Dutch fashion magazine like Vogue, fashion expert in magazines and in talkshows.
Annemieke – radio host of the younger aimed station 3FM, fairly well-known, a ‘one of the guys’ kinda girl.
Marjolein – perhaps the biggest name of the bunch, a very well known actress, especially from the soap opera Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden.
Remy – musician, more specific a harp player. I would say completely unknown with the main audience.
Taeke – a former hockey player, has won all the big championships with the national team including the Olympics as a captain.
An eleventh contestant, Rood, was publicly eliminated in an event before the series began proper at a public press conference in Amsterdam.
So excited!!!!!!!!!! Best Christmas present ever will be the next season of De Mol 😀

After watching WIDM 15 last year I caught up on all the series on Youtibe. However, most of WIDM 14 is now blocked due to copyright. Anyone know where I can get hold of it?
Hey Marika!
http://youtu.be/tCoaCupDyYw
Merry Christmas Marika!
Very excited for wie is de mol to start very soon
I work in Travel and tourism so last year I watched your videos from Tenerife and Majorca, this year I’m living in Mexico for a year, but I am born and bred from the United Kingdom, so you do have fans watching from the far stretches of the world
Havnt been able to look at the new line up this year but looking forward to a new season 🙂
Happy New Years everyone
Hi Marika! You’re awesome! Thank you so much for doing all this subtitling. I’ve been in awe at how quickly you do it anyway – so please don’t worry if you have to take any extra time to do this. As you say, you have a life! We are so grateful to get the episodes whenever they appear.
Merry Christmas and a very happy Moling 2016 to you!
For 2016… THE SUSPECT LIST IS BACK! WITH A TWIST!
As ever, I’ll be running a play-for-fun competition in which you’ll be putting your Mole intuition to the test. After every week, I’ll put up a questionnaire in which you have to place the remaining candidates from Most Moley to Least Mole. The higher up the list you place the eventual Mole, the more points you will score, up to 10 points per week and a maximum total of 100 (if things proceed as normal).
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
This year, I will be adding a bonus question. This question will be taken from one of the questions we see the candidates taking on screen. So you’ll have to pay attention to what your Mole has done in the episode. These bonus questions will be worth 3 points each, for a total of 30 throughout the game (if things proceed as normal).
I wish you all the very best of luck, and let’s hope we can all defeat Brig Bother again this year!
Preview special for new series starting tomorrow. Contains previous series spoilers:
http://youtu.be/mDMaLTWUOJA
Cant wait love Wie Is De Mol & TY Marika
If a WIDM newbie only had time to watch one previous series ahead of the new one, which would be the one to choose?
A great question and I don’t know if you’ll get any sort of consensus- I personally recommend S10, especially for people who have a bit of a memory of the UK or US Moles so vaguely know what to expect. I think it’s an intricate, beautiful journey – it can be a bit convoluted (especially ep 1!), but it features my favourite host, cast, and IMO the best use of music, but most importantly it has excellent challenges (in particular eps 2, 4, 6 and 7).
Series 11 is also strong, and a bit more actiony-where 10 is more psychological, although for me, 11 suffers from too many of the best players leaving too early. 11 also has the best first challenge twist of any series.
FYI 10 through 13 and most of 14 were subbed by TDS prior to their disappearance, so you can find them at http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatDarkSpark/playlists
I watched that entire episode trying to work out what the hint to this year’s Mole was. I got nothin’.
And episode 1 is on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_1imW_T9OA
Ta!
First season I am going to be watching. thanks to people providing subs…I am surprised it is on youtube – I guess the dutch producers isn’t too bothered about the copyright.
“Marjolein is untouchable.”
Surely not. SURELY NOT.
The opening is comedy.
Taeke: “I’m going to find people who aren’t The Mole and eliminate them.”
I have no doubt that he could.
Good first ep, liked the giant topito task – the impression I get is that the tasks are going to be a bit more old-skool game-y in the main this year, which I like.
I do like the “twist” of the year, with the team literally seeing The Mole if they get enough money.
WOOOOOOOO! I just bloody well love The Mole. But who is it this year? I haven’t got a scooby doo, but maybe you do. If so, PROVE IT by playing THE SUSPECT LIST!
Each week I’ll link to a survey where you have to put the remaining suspects in order from Most Moley to Least Moley. The higher up the list you put the Mole, the more points you score. There’s also a bonus question based on the action/identity of The Mole.
Please do feel free to take part, the more the merrier!
WEEK 1’s SUSPECT LIST: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eEQ7EGFJ_60_TD8FIGWkO1_v8OZc1bzlJsBBqo2jx7I/viewform
I think I’m gonna like this season 🙂
Love that if they earn enough money they can see the moles face on the back of the notes like a mosaic, will give some incentive to the candidates to go out and earn rather then mole
Also loved the opening to the episode, did anyone else notice Art was looking up to the mole at one point meaning the mole is taller then Art?
Tim is my mole at the moment, mainly because he overly tried to help everyone in task one in the knowledge that the first person would say they wouldn’t succeed.. Also he played hard to be treasurer which the mole would do knowing the mosaic twist, and the pulling task I don’t think he was giving 100%
My second mole is Remy, I think he would be a good mole and also klaas was asked to find one musician, Remy is the famous harp player, a clue? Maybe?
I’m pretty sure there will be a chance for the mole/group to spend the money they have earns so I think the mole will try and help the group these first few episodes
If I was taken this test I would have spread between Tim, Remy, Taeke and Marjolein
Well, I’m totally clueless after episode 1 but that’s hardly a surprise. Taeke, Remy, and Cecile comprise the top 3 I submitted for the suspect list, but I don’t really have super strong justifications for any of them aside from gut feelings. I do feel reasonably confident that Ellie is NOT the Mole, mostly due to similarities to last year’s Mole, and I think the Mole would definitely not want the police detective to be the treasurer considering this year’s gimmick, so that’s one thing that factored into my suspects at least.
The cast seems pretty strong and likable overall though, so I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season.
Hi guys
I managed to binge watch Season 15 just in time for the start of this. I haven’t watched the Mole since the UK version so I’m super excited at the prospect of this. I’ve started a blog (mainly as a way of logging my thoughts) but I’d be honoured if you took a look: http://www.rockcentral.co.uk
I’d love to do a podcast on this sow if anyone is up for it?
Cheers
Anthony
Noticed that the questions of the test are not subbed in the YT episode, question 6 was about who did give their money to the treasurer (answer no), and question 18 was about the favorite city of The Mole, which is quite ambiguous as there is no way to know from the episode itself.
Additionally, to put in perspective how they participate, on the close-ups of the ‘mole notebooks’, they literally write everything down: what kind of clothes, where do they sit on the bus, every single detail. Quite surprised by this actually.
Ratingswise – a new day, more competition, but still a decent 2mln viewers (33% share), but probably increases with consolidated over the week.
There was some good stuff in the special about how they record everything in their molebook. It was an interesting show
A lot of people were watching Darts with two Dutch participants. Now that´s over, the ratings will most likely be more coming episode.
It’s wise they noted where they sat on the bus, as that too was one of the questions! I thought it would be a bit mean to include in this week’s Suspect List. Future weeks though…
(Note, I’ll always make sure the bonus question is answerable from the episode)
My suspect got eliminated. I guess I’m on Klaas now, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they went and chose another woman this time around.
Anthony, on the hint on Ellie. The first episode title was “Wijsmaken”. “Wij smaken” However, means “We taste”. Ellie’s surname is “Lust” Which means something alike. As in she wants to eat something.
Diary of the Mole – Episode 3
We put the Mole in it’s place! Well.. May I warn you about the
following things? One; a mole rarely shows itself above ground.
Because why would one show itself when it can barely see? And two; I was busy creating my own territory. Follow the money. But literally.
Time for fresh wind. Another detection method.
And now I could finally strike. We earned 4150 Euro. An offer of 3245 Euro. Ten Euro more or less doesn’t really matter. Result? 1810 Euro in the pocket! Mission accomplished.
The power about the tests is worth more than the money. Not to me, really.
“For me it is about my true face; my portret on the back of the money. I know the answers. And I am greedy… But the contenstants even more.”
It went exactly as a Mole hoped it would.
What awaitated was the departure of Remy. Ahh.. So true! “Every time you begin to understand more about the Mole, you end up right back at the beginning.” You paid dearly for that. One comfort; it’s the same for the other contenstants. And they have to continue with the game. You will never come back.
If people are interested though, I’ve quickly translated the Diary of the Mole, which is weekly being published on the Mole website.
Diary Mole – Episode 1
I am the mole! I went into battle. But because I always want to be prepared, after my application for the mole job, a secret meeting with Art quickly followed.
Somewhere in the Netherlands. Halfweg, it was. Or am I saying too much?
In Santo Domingo we immediately went underground. All of those people. They weren’t important for money. We won thousand Euro. Ten green hundreds. Ten parts of my portrait.
Ah, you know. Although this year, I have an extra reason to keep the money low, but it’s satisfying for the group’s spirit. I know how to get it out. And otherwise the
contestants will do it themselves, later on.
“The game doesn’t change before your eyes, the game changes behind your back.”
We neatly choose a treasurer of the money. To get some grip on the money. Haha! Don’t me make laugh! But okay. It seems it’ll be the ten of us once more, en then we’ll have to say farewell to one person. Because it’s still a game. My game!
Very much interested, thanks!
The Suspect List – Week 1 is now closed! Thank you very much to everyone who’s taken part, record breaking 23 players so far, and there’s still plenty of time to take part. It’s good to see a mixture of old and new names too.
This year, I’ll be revealing the results of the Bonus Question and your top Mole suspect each week. (Full results available at the end of the series).
So, this week’s stats!
Top Mole suspect: Taeke
Is the Mole male or female? 70% of you said male, 30% said female. EXCITING!
I’m rather quick- but here’s the diary of the mole of episode 2.
Diary Mole – Episode 2
Long live the diary! Because who would’ve thought? Five members from the society
of old moles are pointing the contenstants in the right direction.
“For me, there was only one thing I had to do: Getting over set-backs.
Just doing my thing without being disturbed. Trust in yourself. I am the one with the
last word!”
Even about the money. Next week is the power about the test, guys! Then, chances will
be very high that someone will have a lot of money for it. I can’t wait for it.
The 700 Euro we earned with 7 correct stairs, and 7 wrong stairs. And 0 Euro at the
salt mines… what a shabby impression. I think it should’ve been higher.
Oh and molloten (the fans), don’t worry. You may of course keep the mole money yourself.
No problem!
Thanks Kim, I’m just going to ask in future that this doesn’t come out until after the English subtitles do – I value your work but we don’t want anything that looks as though it could be a spoiler (although this doesn’t seem very spoileriffic as it turns out).
Thats ok!
Not as fantastic an episode as last week, but that final game was just spectacular. Surprised to see the first eliminee, although I never had them as a suspect.
Looks like next week will have a twist for the test, and I suspect it might cause some trouble!
I really enjoyed this week and it looks like there were some good hints, some of which were only possible to spot in Dutch so I will post some info on my website soon.
I was surprised who the first person to go was but also had them low down on the list
Ugh, it’s such a bummer when my favorite contestant is the first to be eliminated. Happened with The Genius S4 and now again with WIDM. :/
The last game was pretty amazing. No idea how to interpret anything that was said in terms of direct clues to the Mole, but it was really cool nonetheless. And maybe it’s just me, but I wasn’t able to make out any of sort of distinguishing features in the face projections at all lol. I was able to recognize Margriet and Susan from their voices, and (I’m assuming) Anne-Marie from the lipstick, but without any of that I doubt I could have named any of them. Maybe it was easier in person.
I don’t think my suspicions changed very much in this episode. I’m still leaning towards Taeke, but if it’s him then it’s weird that it seems like he got the least screentime by FAR this episode. Also still feel like if there’s one person who can be ruled out entirely, it’s Ellie. On the subject of Ellie, I liked that someone was finally so tired of all the radio chaos that they legitimately tried to solve it, but of course nobody else seemed to take it seriously. Which seems a bit odd considering challenges with radios fail practically every time.
Dennis and Kees were definitely the two men (not sure why they went back eight years for Dennis when they could have gotten Jon or Patrick though), and I think the women were Anne-Marie, Susan, and Margriet. But I agree with you that it was tough – I actually didn’t get Margriet until you mentioned her, and thought they just had Anne-Marie do one with lipstick on and one without. They have very similar faces and voices, those two.
Roll up! Roll up!
Week 2 of The Suspect List is now available! Put the remaining candidates in order of who you think The Mole is and you could win many many points!
Best of luck.

The results of Week 2 of The Suspect Lists are as follows:

Good challenges (I love a good lasergun challenge), and quite liked the rule about the “second highest unique bid” there, because the Mole can bid all of the pot knowing that a) it won’t be them who loses the money because b) somebody else will bid loads anyway.
And who was it who bid all the money? The champion of the lasergun task and clear Mole Taeke!
The whole last segment seems pretty fishy to me. If Taeke is a contestant, it’s difficult to rationalize why he would bid the entire pot. His justification sounded like he assumed the contestants would be told who had the 2nd highest bid which seems too conveniently naive. On the other hand, if he’s the Mole, it’s difficult to rationalize why the editors would actually show him bidding the entire pot instead of keeping that hidden until the Mole reveal episode, especially after talking up the point about how the Mole is cool with winning money as long as they can dump it later. It feels like they’re intentionally drawing suspicion towards him. I really don’t know what to think about it.
The amusing thing is that the prize isn’t even that good, if you’ve got no idea who the Mole is then you probably don’t have any idea which five questions to knock out to give you an advantage.
Oh well my number 1 suspect has left that game. A couple of the female players went up in my mole estimations this week. But was shocked to see the person eliminated.
Guess i will have to have a rethink. My Mole from week 1 is still in but not so confident on that anymore.
I think there is a couple of people that can clearly be ruled out after this weeks show.
I think a fair few of us lost our main suspect this week!
I also lost my prime suspect this week which is disappointing because I had serious tunnel vision about that one.
Each week I’ve been trawling the web (actually it’s more like trawling #WIDM) and I’ve found some clues which could be useful or not. If you have theories, I’d love to hear them over at http://www.rockcentral.co.uk/widm-hints
I’ve also been recapping each episode after mulling over it for a while and watching a couple of times, so maybe you’ve spotted something and I’ve missed it?
Is anyone up for a live stream discussion of the show so far? I’m thinking of scheduling a blab.im at some point soon.
Groetjes!
Anthony

Thanks Kim!
Here’s The Suspect List: Week 3!
Good luck everyone, I think we’re going to need it this year.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mjCcXD_20OX79X0W8lNrzFqs7plwEC9l1PI_Df-e32w/viewform
I’m very happy that I dodged the bullet last week. I was tunneling on our eliminated contestant, but luckily, I found out other possibility that the title “the last word,literally” mean.
Clue: Why the producer add the extra ‘,literally’ at the title? Why it’s not enough to just say “the last word”
And given the this title’s name “the writer lives on”, I think I maybe on the right track because it checks out with other clues,
I shouldn’t be watching this.
None of the various iterations of the show actually provide any motivation for the mole to do anything. His limitations and advantages seem unfixed; the fiction of being a chosen contestant with initiative clashes badly with clearly production-driven stunts.
The utility function clash between prize and improving your survival odds, with all the drama that flows from it, goes out the window when you cast celebrities: More exposure is always worth more to them than the low stakes they’re playing for, so it’s all moling and minimal effort all the time. This drowns the play-at-home aspect in a sea of nonsense, and makes me not care about the contestants at all.
And then there’s the constantly visible thumb on the scale, which makes all gameshow pretense melt away. Sure show, I’m sure you’ll leave the number of episodes in a season in flux depending on how well they drag stuff, and I’m certainly not noticing how challenge rewards become impossible or trivial to get depending on how their pot diverges from historical averages.
I do watch the show.
Some of it is because every once in a while they bother with a truly original game. Some of it is because they know how to eke tension from nothing.
But mostly it’s because the format incidentally contains travel porn, and it’s shot spectacularly, astoundingly well. It both manages to evoke the spirit of the place better than shows where the locale is more obviously a highlight *cough TAR cough*, and manages a certain constant foreboding, alienating atmosphere.
Whilst very showy, the inspired angles of the museum elimination make me enormously respect the skill of the people who can set these up and shoot them on a TV timeframe, as well as their location scouts. I still remember the cavernous underground Japanese cistern, or the terrifying American volcano with its slopes of ash.
So I am kind of astounded that *all* the discussion goes towards mole deduction. What do people think of the technical aspects of the show? Is there anything recent that really caught your eye?
The only thing that’s bothering me is that the ‘pace’ of the show is slowing down–but I find it understandable.
In 2014, they introduced black exemption. The result of it was huge action at the beginning of the show. Joker, exemptions and black exemptions are thrown everywhere.
The downside is that the ‘pace’ of the show is slowing down and (for me) boring as we approach the final. The only real ‘conflict’ is when deciding super exemption or 2000 Euro.
In 2016, we see these mosaic. The ‘mole meeting’ in monastery is thrown back to the scene (which was dropped in 2014 in favor for the black exemption.)
With the candidates are getting on the money clue, I believe that the early season maybe boring—but the late season will be exciting.
I believe that the mole is doing a fantastic job moling the game this season. In episode 2, we see the team only win 1600 euro out of possible 7000 euro.
The tean only win less then 20% of the possible pot. A good performance by the mole,all time low.
So I disagree with the theory of mole giving minimal effort. In fact, we may have the best mole here.
So I am kind of astounded that *all* the discussion goes towards mole deduction.
Why so? It’s a social game on the outside as well as on television, and clearly I am better than it than others. I am constantly astounded when I hear “they were one of my biggest suspects” and wonder if we were watching the same programme (every week, so far).
I do actually miss big Mole sabotages you used to get, there’s much more emphasis on the meta-game these days, but even so nobody wants to be known as “the rubbish Mole who didn’t do anything”.
I don’t really need to point out the technical aspects because we expect it as standard, it’s more interesting to point out when it DOESN’T work.
But if we all saw who the Mole was from week one, it would be a very boring show, right? I hope I get it wrong every week as for me the highlight of the show is looking at all the clues I missed and all the misdirection I fell for. It’s like watching a magician at work. I want to think I know how it’s done, but if I did I would be disappointed.
Groetjes!
Indeed, I don’t see that as a flaw I see that as part of the entertainment.
This strikes me but won’t keep getting wrong makes you rage quit? I mean you sir literally won 2014 Suspect List, so your mood is in ‘what doesn’t kill you make you stronger’, but us who literally get it wrong and wrong may rage quit and reduces the fun?
Never going to happen.
I myself, tend to pick 1 person from the start and stick with them until they lose. So far though, I have had the following outcomes:
2014: Freek – Made it to the final and lost.
2015: Rik – Made it to the final and won.
Dan can also confirm I did this in the American version of The Mole. I picked the eventual winner (again from week 1). In that instance though, I was pissed off with who the actual mole was. This is the only time it has made me “rage quit”.
I was hoping this year that I might’ve picked the mole from week 1 (to complete all 3 scenarios), but going by a previous post, I am not sure of this so I am expecting to have yet picked one of the finalists yet again 😀
The Suspect List Week 3 results are in!
Firstly – thank you to all 22 of you who took part in it this week, I’m loving that the numbers are holding steady around that level, more than last year.
All change after last week’s Top Suspect was eliminated!
Week 3 Top Suspect: Ellie
Was the Mole shot in the Laser challenge? Yes 27%, No 73%
So, the vast majority reckon the Mole was playing the long game, then…
I’m sorry. Why Ellie is the mole?
Think about this, why Ellie would go first in the test challenge? The mole will benefit by going later. I assume that the mole will receive secret info like Anna-Maria did in the negotiation challenge.
Well for me it’s tough to believe it’s Ellie because of her occupation. And I don’t want to say that cops couldn’t betray anyone, but she’s responsible for the police’s PR, it’s difficult for her employers to allow her being the mole. I still suspect her quite a lot every now and then, but I’d never put her as my top mole somehow, unless there’s something hugely suspicious in an episode. But nothing’s really suspicious for anyone yet, I think.
Episode 4 is up 🙂

Star of the show has gone. Ellie Lust, we will miss you.
Nothing special in the first challenge. Classical fourth episode joker/exemption/other stuff game. Good twist with vocabulary. A bit sad, because no one took black exemption, in S15 it was a lot of fun with it.
Riddle challenge – if Marjolein’s keys would be fatal… that would be a superb task.
Test: even having tips Ellie lost? How weird is that.
Two things I’ve noticed:
1. -500 of Annemieke. No, that’s not moling, that’s just egoistic.
2. Ellie said Annemieke is down her suspect list. Bam. Ellie is gone. Coinsidence?
If I was Mole, I’d notice that someone had taken the -500 and use that as an excuse to pick up the +500, especially when in the same sentence they said they ran past the +1000. Looks good, in fact it’s at best neutral. Marjolein the Mole strikes again! And then she messes up the keys!
Good challenges this week, one and three quite old school, which I suspected was the direction this year was pushing towards.
Last week out of nowhere annemieke shot right up my list, this week my suspicions are still very high, she is on my radar for sure but i still have a couple above her.
Wow. Even though I ruled Ellie out from the first episode, I’m still very surprised to see her gone. I’d thought she’d last a while!
I’m confused about the first riddle they got. Do jokers say De Mol on both sides? If it wasn’t a trick question, 25% should have been correct, right?
Taeke continues to be suspicious as all hell, getting flipped in the kayak challenge and giving Art the wrong answer to Klaas’s riddle despite Marjolein and others saying the answer was 20. But I still can’t help but feel he’s too obvious, especially after bidding the whole pot last week. If there’s one person who went down on my list this week, it’s Tim. Would a Mole really “accidentally” give a crew member a black eye? >_>
The Suspect List – Week 4 can be found here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-3RPlRo5awKL85SA-WNwbatpyXxEyXyarGRMqjAXQjs/viewform
Thank you once again to everyone who has taken part so far, you’re all awesome for playing along! More than 20 have played each week, I’m hoping that continues throughout!
I wish you the very best of luck!
Dan
So the forum (widm.nl) agrees that Tim will go out next episode, based on the clue.
My first mole is Cecile. She is consistent with clues that the show had given + the fact that Cecile actually donates almost the least amount of money. (Tim was the least)
Plus, the fact that Cecile smiled when Marjoleine screwed up they key. If I was the mole, I won’t be able to prevent my self smiling. It’s just instinct.
My second mole is Marjoleine. I just can’t connect today’s moling with her performance in the past.
Based on what clue? I can’t find it.
Diary of the Mole – Episode 4
We left Santo Domingo and went north-east. To the peninsula, Samaná!
Natural beauty, beautiful beaches and a lot of green. What more do you want as Mole?
Treasurer? Am I going for the money? A mole can make good use of it. And I’m on it, on the money… But 6 assignments follow in this dazzling area…Wanted to have the money before. Hands in the air. Cécile it is. Not exactly a sensitive decision.
“On the water, we all go for money. We speak in code language. And a code red is negative.”
Kayaks are falling down, contenstants are coming back. Everyone with their own story: One increased the money, the other doesn’t. But does nobody not take anyone for granted?
When it comes to choosing and sharing absolutely not. Everyone goes for themselves. What if the contenstants went for the money? Always. And everywhere. What would the game be like then? Or still only behind your back? Maybe less than you think.
I’m sticking with Klaas is the mole it just stuck with me how art described him in the first episode.

Off you go.
I find the episode to be boring. Anyone agrees with me?
But it seems Cecile solves the money mosaic puzzle. Next episode should be the climax?
I liked the challenges this week, although it did feel a bit lower octane than normal. I wouldn’t worry too much about the money, if someone cracks it their best strategy is not to give it away, I’m sure Cecile will put her own spin on it.
The results of The Suspect List, Week 4, are:
Top Mole suspect: Annemieke
How many canisters did the Mole bring back in the Kayak challenge:
1: 43%
2: 14%

Week 5 of The Suspect List is now live! We’ve got 21 regular players this year, so there’s plenty of competition. Good luck all!

This year I’ve got severe tunnel vision which i can’t seem to shake
The mole is Tim
I’ve been having my suspicions about Tim for quite some time now.. Mostly because pretty much everyone else seems to be sure its Klaas.
I reckon Tim looks by far the shiftiest, ergo it’s probably not him.
Well he’s sure a special one. It’s either him or Klaas for me.
The results for Week 5 of The Suspect List are as follows:
Top Mole Suspect: Annemieke
How many Taino characters did The Mole’s boat find:
0 – 35%
3 – 45%
5 – 20%
Isn’t Annemieke part of the 0 boat? Why the top boat is the 3 boat?
Perhaps the players were spreading their answers!
I never really remember the things you need to for the bonus question. So I just try to choose an answers that I like while trying to spread the answer. Or in short: It’s a random guess every single time.
