The Mole-Premiere

It's been a few years since the Mole has been on. Last time they had D-lister celebrities, like Kathy Griffen and Steven Baldwin, which made for good mindless entertainment. This time around it's your ordinary reality show groupie and do I really want to watch them? It's like who cares! In this premiere episode, they jump, literally off a waterfall in Los Angeles, Chile. Who knew, there's a Los Angeles in Chile? The stunt was kinda like a combination river rafting and bungee jumping and definitely not for the faint of heart. The whole premise to this reality show is the last one standing wins the money, or whoever outs the mole, or if the mole outwits everyone, then they win. The money is accumulated by stunts completed and performed which can or cannot be subverted by the mole. Every episode ends with a quiz and the one that answers the most questions wrong are executed. I'm wondering, since we are never given the answers, how do we really know which contestant answered the most questions wrong? At this point it is pretty hypothetical since all the questions are about who they think the mole is. Since it is so early in the season it is just a guessing game at this point, but immediately the group is targeting Marcie as the mole. Already there are some primadonnas emerging, especially one in particular, Dr. Nicole, who refused to sleep outside in a sleeping bag and stayed awake in the cabin all night. Gee, let's see, be totally tired from not sleeping all night, or sleep outside in a sleeping bag, which would you do? The raft over the falls netted the group 6 bags of money. The contestants range from young to 60. I'm thinking Liz (the 60 year old) meant to audition for the Price is Right, but ended up on ABC 's casting call. The next challenge was to find items strew over the beach for items that Cruseo would have had on a stranded island in 1704. Basically, a pretty lame challenge, with the scavengers, appraisers and the timekeepers roles assigned to the group. This challenge netted the group $5,000 to total $35,000. At the end it is Marcie that is executed and if this show doesn't become more intrigueing I might have to execute it myself-sorry no Mole pictures!-Single D
