Congratulations to Wie is De Mol? FINALLY winning The Netherland’s Gouden Televizier-ring last week after being nominated forever, their highest television accolade as voted for by the public. And in fact it was a good night all round for people and shows with “de Mol” in them, the amazing Linda de Mol won best female and nephew Johnny de Mol winning best male (Art Rooijakkers was nominated for this one as well). After thirteen years, last series got the show’s highest audiences ever – which makes how the Aussies stuffed up their recent version rather look more baffling, especially as their version won Logie awards and plaudits when it was on first time round.
Anyway, new footage of the next series of WIDM ’14 has been released. Squared Eyes has a run down of the celebrity contestants on his blog – my gut feeling money’s on Daphne Bunskoek right now, based entirely on a photograph and short film. And ThatDarkSpark has put up a subtitled version of the first show’s opening that’s been released as a preview (you may need to look at the video on YouTube to get the subs, which you will need to select using the CC/captions button). They’re off to Hong Kong.
There’s also another WIDM Junior next year, so TWO chances to play “recognise where they’ve borrowed the soundtrack”. WIDM ’14 should begin in January.
What show is “Waar is de mol?”? I thought it was The Mole, but The Mole seems to be “Wie is de mol?” now, so I don’t get it…
Waar is de Mol? – is a show featuring Johnny de Mol and a celebrity per episode, going together on a journey to the favorite spot/country/destination for that celebrity, a significant destination. During the trip, Johnny interviews the celebrity and gets to know him/her better while they are on the road.
Wie is de Mol? aka The Mole – is the adventure reality show of Woestijnvis, where contestants play to win money in challenges, but one of them is sabotaging the game, to win as little money as possible.
Its getting quite confusing with all de Mol’s in NL 🙂
Yes, when I read you blog I was totally confused today 😀
And this year is even an extra extra treat next to the junior series. On the first day of 2014, a special will be aired looking back on all the seasons of The Mole and its special moments, while also looking forward to the next series.
The 2014 season will premiere the day after, on 2nd of January.
Amazing – looking forward to it. The Suspect List will return for 2014, of course.
the theme of today’s AUA! Sunday special is “collectors” and it begins with an alternate version of Ricordati Che Devi Morire!
Ha ha, i’m watching that now. Not sure the best way to describe it.
In fairness, the Logies currently have less credibility than the British version of Survivor did, so.
