The Mole

Adam Rippin, I don't know who that is, but this is Olympic figure skater Dom Gabriel.

He's from The Mole and The Perfect Match on Netflix.

Chloe Veg, she's from The Circle and Perfect Match.

Christine Quinn is going to be on there.

So Eureka Productions produced the show, and then they offered up for sale.

They've produced The Mole.

Oh, okay.

And they also produce The Floor.

So great to have you all here.

There is a reality show on TV called The Mole.

You might have seen it.

It's a strategy game, and it starts with 12 contestants all playing for prize money.

But they start with $0 in the prize pot, and the contestants have to work together in order to grow this prize pot, which in the end, just one of the contestants will take home at the end.

One of the contestants, though, right from the beginning, has been employed as the mole.

And the viewers don't know who the mole is.

The contestants don't know who the mole is.

...

The Mole, where we're getting, "Here's a clue to the identity of the traitors." And I think that's a something that people have said, "Okay, well what if you did some sort of a game mechanic of if you ended up, if you caught a traitor or there should be something in the mission maybe that you can get a- closer to the identity of the traitor." So this is the first time we've seen The Traitors give us anything like that, and I thought it was an interesting wrinkle.

Um, I, I don't have super strong feelings for or against it, but I definitely didn't hate it.

Yeah, I think I felt like this was fine.

It's obviously the most game show that we cover because, like...

We cover other reality television, and we've covered, like, The Mole, and we've covered, what is it? Bake

Off's a game show.

No.

You know what I mean.

Like, stuff like The Mole.

Not a cooking

competition?

[rock music] Welcome to the third episode of Mole Australia Season 1 recap from Reality TV Warriors.

My name is Michael Armstrong, and joining me as always is the Canadian who spends every night tossing and turning thinking of the Mole, Logan Saunders.

Good afternoon.

And the guy who over the years has learned nothing at all, so just goes hell for leather, David Bindley.

Human-style computer game.

[laughs]

I forgot that was, like, the original description of the traditional first-season Mole maze challenge.

Yeah.

It has to be.

Even when I'm not on a TV show, but watching me on the mole, I'm like, oh.

Okay, that's enlightening.

Maybe I should do that or maybe I need to fix that.

I, I love Traitors.

Uh, I think we've said this, like, my favorite reality competition show of all time was The Mole, and the Traitors-

Mm

... is the closest I can get because they refuse to bring back The Mole, so-

[laughs]
