Kiki's Mollotenbrabbels week 1: ‘And the Ron Boszhard award goes to...’

Sooooo. *digs sleepily up from the ground.* The hibernation is over, my friends. Holy mol(y). So you thought you were done with me? HAHAHA. That the TV chatter was all over?

Well, I thought I was. I thought I could quietly enjoy my retirement in Spain. With a pan con aïoli on the left, a sangria on the right, you know how it goes. But yeah, you know how it is with retirement, right? Just ask Edwin Evers. And Acda and De Munnik. Rest is simply not granted to the creatives of the earth. We try, but it’s just not accepted. And then I was approached by my former employer. If they could (for a ridiculous Sex and the City-like 1-million-euro-per-episode amount) persuade me to move my ass from the beach to a square screen to watch Who is the Mole? No god, I wish. But hey, it sounded fun.

In the coming weeks, I will spam you every Sunday afternoon with all the suspicious actions from the latest episode, suspicions, and more Inspector Gadget nonsense. And to keep it cozy and interactive: my Insta @kikiduren  is officially reopened for all the craziness you encounter, so if you think on Saturday night: HUH, what is he/she doing???? DM me, and I’ll bundle your findings too; the more chances we have to unmask the Mole this year in time.

So buckle up, TV fans, from now on Amayzine is officially renamed Amolzine. Time for an overview of everything I thought while watching and of course the first notable actions in a row.

1. Ooooooo. A shiver through the body. Goosebumps. The two legendary words whispered at the end of the intro. As if they were whispered not by Horace Cohen but by fucking Smeagol. ‘Trust nobaaadieeee...’

2. Okay, first things first: I had NIGHTMARES last night from the opening scene. Disney film Coco meets Jigsaw Dias de las Muertas types. Totally freaking scary. Can you please not do this again, makers???

3. Let’s not beat around the bush: the fortune teller looks like she has a 50 Shades of Grey torture chamber. ‘Welcome Tooske. Today you will receive some secrets. Take off your clothes. Here and now. I have a secret weapon for you…’

4. Anna Gimbrère. A name so chic. I don’t know who this is, but if I had that name, I would whisper it softly in the ear of every bed partner in my life.

5. YESSSS, Kees van der Spekkie is just part of the party, right. Mister Cheese from the Bacon. I think he’s such an incredible guy. Although he is moling, right? With his reading glasses that he didn’t have, and then putting them on anyway. Tssss.

6. Again. Terrified. Of. The. Fortune teller.

Especially. The. Pauses.

Someone. Outside. Is. Wearing. This. Symbol.

Find it. And ask. FOR. A. TOPITO.

AND KILL THE PERSON.

Okay sorry, djeez, didn’t know you were getting mad.

7. Wait a minute, but the Mole was also at the party and was searching at the same time as the participants? Fucking brilliant of course and not traceable and no, we’re not all going to point at Justin the drag queen, that’s too easy.

8. I’m throwing in a serious suspicion. Did you see that ‘Happy Birthday’ balloon at the Mexican party? The broadcast was yesterday on January 6. DO YOU KNOW WHO’S BIRTHDAY IT IS? Anna Je-Komt-Klaar-Van-Haar-Naam-Gimbrère!!!

9. I don’t know what this says about my brain again, but suddenly I hear a goat ‘Gimbrèèèère’ bleating and I can’t imagine that you don’t hear it now.

10. Meanwhile in the category dry:

‘Bread? I love bread!’

Then you are Rosario, see yourself on TV and this is your only complete sentence in episode 1.

11. Am I the only one who is just überexcited to see Rik in his quasi-nonchalant almond-colored suit?

12. ‘I have a memory like a sieve and the handwriting of a dentist.’ Shall we just start a Kees fan club right away? Email me if you want to join. We’ll meet on Sunday morning.

13. ‘Frida Kahlo always worked lying in bed.’ Oh well, girlfriend, I do that too! Can totally relate. I always felt like a kind of Frida Kahlo myself. Although I do know how to find my tweezers… GOD SORRY, but I always have to get used to the eyebrows of the best girl.

14. And the Ron Boszhard award goes to... Nooooo! Not the woman with the schizophrenic Cruella hair color? She’s not going to Afvallerseiland now, is she? Please tell me we can still enjoy Babs and her fashion choices for a while. I love her already.

15. Just some stuff to think about. Where was the key position for the Mole? In the painting game absolutely at the spot of Babs and Rian? Shouldn’t they have bought a painting instead? And… Kees also managed to worm his way into an important position with that glasses nonsense, right?

Anyway, you notice: I could ramble on about this for a book, but it’s also your Sunday morning. Those I’m going to keep an extra eye on? Jeroen Spitzenberger. Yeah. Just. Because he’s being kept a bit out of the shot by the makers and this guy can lie Oscar-worthy for the greater good. Furthermore: Tooske. Just a feeling. And come on: Anna (now hears a goat again, nice then).

Well, will I see you little moles here again next Sunday? Cozy. Oh and: seen something suspicious yourself? Send me a DM on @kikiduren.

Mole spy Duren is going back to her post.

Everything under control here.

Over.
