Kiki's Mollotenbrabbels

week 3

Hey fellow players! Nice to see you back in the game. Look, that Monday is heavy. For you, for me, so let's make the best of it. And I think we have a good episode this time. A bit of racing in a village full of sheep, a bit of paragliding, a bit of lying about stuff that is or isn't in boxes... All in all, a pretty fun episode with 2.53 million viewers tuning in.

Are you guys starting to remember the names of the candidates all of them? Pretty nice. I thought it would never happen. And I must honestly say: this group is a strange one. It's all about deception and trickery in the candidates' camp. Some weird friendships are being formed (Olcay and Stine BFFs? Like, okay) and picking the Mole is going to be a tough task, I think. Luckily, we still have a few weeks. Shall we talk about the points that caught my attention? Yes, it's time to ramble.

1. It's still painfully awkward when you suggest becoming the treasurer and you can almost hear the straw bales passing by. Poor Stine. *CueTheCowboyMusic

2. Moving on to Emilio. Or should I say: Emolio? That guy manages to grab my attention every single week. Forgot to set the timer in the car task, really?

3. And damn, that Ruben Hein. Slips through everywhere like a slippery eel. Was in the car that was suddenly done (even if it was just 50 euros), chose the ‘ground position’ instead of paragliding and wrote ‘red wine’ as an answer while Loes clearly said ‘white wine’. Ruben, you jerk, you're flying into the top 3.

4. Haha, that Olcay zooms through that village as if she is the mayor herself. Can I please join her for driving lessons? Whether I make it to thirty is not entirely certain, but the fact that I will never be late for work again is a bonus.

5. As a Mole, you either choose the doubler in the first game or the car with the highest amount, right? In that case, Olcay seems to have made the biggest mistakes. And there was also quite a bit of messing around in Loes' car.

6. HOW MUCH SUGAR DOES OLCAY PUT IN HER COFFEE? THREE TABLESPOONS? Didn't she do something with Weight Watchers? Goodness, what a cup. The glaze is almost peeling off my teeth.

7. Time for the ultimate we-trust-each-other-for-no-reason test at an insane location + mountains + Game of Thrones vibe. Makers, I don't know how you manage to do this every year, but back in the day, I wouldn't want to be found dead in Georgia and now I have to go there.

8. Emilio is vague and advises so poorly that he has come back on my Mole radar. While the game revolves around mutual trust, he doesn't want to share anything about the content, only that Bella and Loes MUST choose box 1 and 3. Those turn out to be +250 euros and -500 euros. Very strange.

9. This is a joke, right, Olcay? Giving that black exemption to Stine? Earth to Olcay? Molcay? Dude? Was that sugar in that coffee? WHAT THE HELL?!

10. And Stine says in her confession that she trusts the entrepreneur ‘blindly’. Blind? As in: completely blind? Hmmm. That girls' night/hair curling session has created an unlikely match between the two.

11. Extra strange, because not even ten minutes ago she said: ‘Stine has a ‘yes but’ for everything I say.’ You seem to find her annoying, but you give away one of the most powerful weapons? Or did you agree off-camera that Stine would inform you when she uses it? In that case, it doesn't matter who has the heavy exemption.

12. Imagine getting a fine if you win WIDM instead of a pot. HAHA. Could you then withdraw money from Art?

13. HAHAHA. ‘Olcay has to stay on the ground from production, because she can't pee in the air.’ Thanks to Don Roelofsen on Twitter.

14. Yep. In terms of air discipline, it's going really well this year.
Loes in the parachute: ‘WHITE WINE!!’
Ruben on paper: red wine.
Simone in the group: ‘It's water!!’

It was fucking iced tea, okay? Chill out.

15. Finally earned 1800 euros during a task. And finally out of the negative, much to Olcay's delight, who immediately throws in a jab. ‘I was proud and suddenly loved everyone. It didn't last long, though.’ HAHA.

16. Wow. So you participate in one of the Dutch programs that has the highest budget ever, and you get ready-made microwave food from a plastic container.

17. OH NO BELLA! Rule number 1 in Who is the Mole? Always play a joker if you have one. Intense crap this. The dolphin outfits and yellow raincoat will be missed. RIP.

Current standings?

  1. Singer Ruben Hein (has been portrayed as ‘vague’ for three episodes now. No big moves, but also hardly any money earned. Slippery eel is hereby flying to the main suspect.)
  2. Comedian Emilio Guzman (not sharing info with others, lying, forgetting to set the timer hmmm. EMOLio remains a mystery.)
  3. Actress Loes Haverkort (has proven again this episode that she can lie like a pro. Trust nobody...)
  4. Writer/philosopher Stine Jensen (suddenly I have the feeling that I would find her too obvious as the Mole...)
  5. Journalist Simone Weimans (caused a lot of confusion with that radio. What else is new?)
  6. Fashion designer Olcay Gulsen (come on, this can't be true? No man, no Mole. I just don't believe the theories. She's way too enthusiastic.)
  7. Presenter Jan Versteegh (if he is the Mole, I will eat my shoe. Seriously. Did you see his face when he got through? That can't be faked, man.)

P.S.: It would be a bizarre theory if Jean-Marc turned out to be the Mole, but couldn't handle it due to stress. It also immediately explains the title ‘switch trick’ and the fact that Art didn't say the line ‘except for the Mole, who never has to go home’ in the first episode.

P.P.S.: Alright, will I see you Mole buddies here again next Monday? Party party. Heart at the bottom if you also think that WIDM 2018 would be, um, seriously boring without Olcay Gulsen.
