10 things we all thought during Who is the Mole?
Well, damn, more viewers than the eight o'clock news. Honestly, as TV makers, you're doing something right. On Twitter, we were of course humorously, sharply, and annoyingly written off, from which it appears: the collective search seems to have really begun now.
Who are we running after as the Pied Piper of Hamelin? Which person flew specially to the Czech Republic with a double mission? Who has played the biggest role of their life? Who has had to lie more than might be good for a human brain? That one question…
Who… Is…. the Mole? Do you know yet? I have no fucking clue, but I do enjoy analyzing the episodes. Let’s go.
1. Actually, you do know somewhere as a candidate at the moment when you have to write down/remember/process a thousand things during a task that something is always happening behind your back? It’s never really about the details of some vague tour. And yet we would probably do it en masse. Something with a donkey…
2. I do realize that Joshua was the first to shout to get that port spot/key position, only to create such a big oops moment that I can no longer see this man as the Mole. Honestly: have the makers ever portrayed such a mole trick so obviously in episode 2? Hmm. Stuff to think about…
3. Hooooooooly shit. In your worst nightmare, such a creepy blacklight ballerina crawls up your stairs at night. Dying- and dead scary. Fak.
4. The ether discipline was so hard to find this week that I honestly think that
Ellie Lust cried on Saturday night. And that Joshua will receive a powder letter from her in revenge in the coming days. That poor girl can't handle this at all.
5. I must say that I found Joshua's flying shoe action brilliant. Including the bromance action with Splinter, in which the latter was so deep in the Joshua tunnel that Joshua himself had to talk him out of it.
6. I still feel a girl crush thing with Lakshmi.
7. You didn't know you wanted it, but a green-black striped crocodile suit slash zebra jumpsuit suddenly belongs to the possibilities of life. THE FREEDOM!
8. In the category of best tweet of the week: ‘WIDM is a bit like my life. It all goes way too fast, money disappears without you knowing why and I don't understand a damn thing anymore.’
9. ‘One thing is for sure: we are going to say goodbye to someone today. But it’s not me.’
A minute later:
*Marije Knevel gets 60 percent of the suspicions in the WIDM app.
*Joshua follows with 40.
10. So who is the Mole? Aaah. Erik de Zwart certainly not. But rather that one person you don't expect. And that person the makers are also keeping nicely behind the scenes. What a ridiculous game actually. I love it.
P.S.: You're really – pardon my French – fucking fat if you name your child Splinter? But really.
P.P.S.: Becoming online friends and sharing mole theories together? Follow me on @kikiduren and let me know which sneaky bastard you suspect and why.
P.P.S.: Why does next week's episode look ten times more fun again? Caving. Batman!
