Fun & Famous

These are the participants of ‘Who is the Mole?’ 2017

Hold on tight. Sit down comfortably. Run to the supermarket for a good bowl of popcorn, cheese platter, Tony’s Chocolonely in new gingerbread flavor, whatever: the candidates of ‘Who is the Mole? 2017’ are known. And yes, my television heart is doing a little jump.

Good lord, I am so freaking excited for this show again. You should know: I am a huge mole fan; besides Expedition Robinson, WIDM is my favorite hour of lounging on the couch. For months I can speculate about who will participate next season. As a true Twitter nerd, I watch who suddenly goes suspiciously quiet on social media. On various fan sites, I search for clues. Only to ultimately wait for the announcement, because all that speculation just makes me nervous. WHO WHO WHO is participating?!

AVROTROS had a really nerve-wracking countdown clock on the website, then there was a painfully slow announcement via Facebook Live that I could barely handle, but now the moment is here. Rapapapa… These are the participants:

1. Actress Sanne Wallis de Vries

2. Radio DJ and voice-over Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte

3. Actress Imanuelle Grives

4. Actor/musical star Thomas Cammaert

5. Actress Sigrid ten Napel

6. Presenter Jochem van Gelder

7. Writer and journalist Roos Schlikker

8. Choreographer Vincent Vianen

9. Presenter/vlogger Yvonne Coldeweijer

10. Science journalist Diederik Jekel

And, what do we think? Another whole lot of #WhoAreAllThesePeople? or is it a cool group this year? Let us know via Facebook. We like that. And even better: the season is filmed in AMERICA this year. Did you hear that, Elke? I think that’s really the shit. AVROTROS, we are ready for it again. Saturday, January 7 it is!
