Line 35:
* [[My Greatest Second Chance]]: Stephen Baldwin and Corbin Bernsen in ''Celebrity Mole: Yucatan'' after having competed in ''Celebrity Mole: Hawaii''. Neither star did much better.
** In fact, they both did ''worse:'' each of them went out one round sooner than they had the last time.
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: One of the contestants from the first season was named [[The Doors|Jim Morrison]].
* [[Never Gets Drunk]]: '''Hilariously''' subverted when a challenge involved mashing grapes for wine. Anderson Cooper got ''plastered'' with the players.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Contestants screwing up on purpose, to make other contestants think they're the Mole and thus do worse on the elimination quizzes. Yes, it decreased the winner's take, but it increased their chance of ''being'' the winner.
* [[Novelization]]: Bill, {{spoiler|The Mole}} from the second season, wrote a book about his experiences on the show, appropriately titled {{spoiler|''Reflections Of The Mole''}}. It can be found [http://www.themolebook.com/ here].
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: A tactic sometimes used by contestants, sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally. Dennis Rodman stands out as an example-- seemed like nobody could figure out if he was stupid, The Mole, or actually really brilliant. Turned out to be brilliant-- he won the game! When they did the journal swap thing, it was discovered that he'd taken no notes, which led some to believe he was The Mole. He actually just had an amazing memory for details.
Line 63:
* [[Unexpectedly Obscure Answer]]: ''Celebrity Mole: Hawaii'' had a very obscure clue involving food storage labels. The labels (if anyone even paid attention to them) said, "Fruits," "Vegetables," "Dairy," "Water," and "Meat." Somehow, you were supposed to know to turn the first letters of each one into an acronym, F.V.D.W.M., which stood for "Frederique Van Der Wal, Mole." Anyone who caught that clue is a genius.
* [[Unreadably Fast Text]]: A few clues were quickly flashed during the opening sequences.
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The third season would have been a standard, "civilian" season (casting for it was even announced) but was later replaced by ''Celebrity Mole: Hawaii''.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Corbin Bernsen and Stephen Baldwin in ''Yucatan'' were constantly looking for clues that weren't there.
