The Mole (TV series): Difference between revisions

{{quote box|[[File:Mole_Thumbprint_4688.jpg|frame]]}} A spy-themed [[Reality Show]] that first aired in Belgium (on VRT) in 1999, hosted by Michiel Devlieger, and premiered on ABC in 2001. Nicknamed "the smartest reality show ever," it's considered to its fans as unique for its emphasis on brain rather than brawn, beauty, or sociability, as well as its audience interaction through hidden clues to The Mole's identity. The premise was simple: the contestants worked together to complete various tasks to earn a cash prize--usually up to $1,000,000--that only one of them would win. One of the contestants, however, was [[The Mole]], a double agent hired by the ''producers themselves'' to sabotage the group's missions and keep money from the pot. (That's where the spy drama part got [[Fridge Logic|fridgy]]. It's like the CIA hired a spy to take out ''its own agents''. Let that sink in for a moment...okay.) The winner was the player who survived all elimination rounds and figured out who The Mole was.
