Episode 1
- pretty crazy they flew them all to Australia for this.
- Osei holding the leaf over his head for the longest time was super funny.
- Greg and William are gonna be annoying
- How did they not notice the mole sneaking the cargo at night.
- That house is freaking sweet.
- Will: “gets money”. Joy “he’s definitely the mole”.
- man the elimination is so intense. I’d hate to be on it.
- I hope it’s not my boy Osei that’d be tragic.
- Episode 1 cliffhanger come on. That’s garbage I hate it.

Remainder of thoughts
|
I really like the show so far. I never watched the original show so this is my first mole exposure. I was surprised at how seemingly big of budget it has. Traveling to all areas around Australia. I thought that jungle place was gonna be the permanent hole but then they kept jumping around.
The challenges are good. I like how they split up. Makes it harder for the mole. I like how open they are with the strategy of the game. Avori talks about it the most. It is a complicated game in that it benefits to do mole like behavior. It is tough for me to fully wrap my head in it because it becomes kind of like do the ends justify the mean. If doing sabotage as the non-mole helps you win but over the season costs you 50 grand, is it worth it? Also maybe it’ll be revealed at the end but what is the guideline for the mole. Do they benefit being covert? How does that balance between hurting the pot but remaining a secret work. I’m trying not to Google too much in case I watch the OG show.
This cast is really fun. Osei going first was such a bummer. He was so good. Dom was great too though it was super interesting how they just stonewalled him from coming back. William has kind of grown on me too and the dynamic of Prinav and Avori has been really interesting.
I made the post about Joi sucking before she has another decision for money or exemption. I didn’t start episode 6 because I want this post to be authentic but I swear if she costs everyone 40 grand total. Other than that I think everyone is cool.
Kesi makes a lot of sense for the mole as Curt said and I hope I’m wrong but I think it’s Jacob. Jacob has made some pretty questionable decisions in the season. This last episode makes me a little worried because I do think Netflix is gonna play it safe and make it not hyper edit the mole which almost makes me think it’s Kasey.
Mole Pick: Jacob (Kasey runner up)
Winner Pick: Avori (Greg runner up. Good call Curt). |

Finale
|
Fun season fun watch. I didn’t like Will at the start but he kind of grew on me a little bit. It was interesting because out of the final 4 he seemed to be the only one that was not on purposely messing up the draw suspicion. Even in the final challenge he wasn’t able to. No idea why Joi thought he was the mole, he would have been a terrible mole. During his “suspicious montage” all of the clips of task failures were usually not his fault at all. I feel like the only semi legitimate one was him being so adamant about doing the climbing.
I was really happy that Joi didn’t win. Her strategy was uhh, interesting and I gusss it was successful but just the things she did were so brain dead. The 25k wager was absolutely ridiculous and all her confessionals were just grating. Still can’t get over the fact she thought Will was the mole. Come on Joi!
I thought Kesi was good as the mole. The mountain challenge was the one that made me declare that she’s the mole because opting to sit out right away with the money was a dead giveaway. But looking back previously there was a lot of things overlooked (the bank vault challenge, the train mishap). The contestants overlooked her a lot which I think shows she was doing good. I do agree looking back her confessionals weren’t the best but for the average fan I’d be curious if they saw it coming.
Overall it was a good watch. I thought the cast was good for the most part. I think Kasey and Samara were the only real duds. I do agree the finale left a lot to be desired, any sort of reunion would have been nice especially after reading what Curtis said. Especially find out what happened to Greg. Was he so misted by Joi that he gave up on Kesi all together?
Hope for more. The prize money wasn’t outrageous but I’m sure the coordination and travel wasn’t cheap. They have been absolutely cranking out the Circle like nobodies business so hopefully they do the same with the Mole. |
