Kiki’s Mollotenbrabbels week 2: ‘Mexico… Meee-heeee-xiiiiicooohoooooo!’

Naaaaa, Who is the Mole?-crazy! Are you here again? How nice! We have a lot to discuss again, right? You and I. Our favorite sewing-each-other-where-you-stand program was on the air again last night. And honestly: it’s a bright spot to travel to beautiful Mexico in the January darkness.

So I pulled my Mole notebook out of the closet for the occasion, there was popcorn, there was hysteria, there was a game in between that was TOTALLY incomprehensible (even for the viewer!!) and everything ended in a Complete Mollian Chaos. Delicious.

Buckle up, TV fans, Amayzine has officially been renamed Amolzine again. And these are the points we need to talk about.

1. First of all, let’s talk about that first assignment. Meeeine gute liebe, it’s just as well that this bunch of misery didn’t travel to Tokyo, because the Molympic Games would be everything we would be ashamed of on Deep National Level.

2. But to be fair: seeing Kees van der Spekkie panting like a little schoolboy with a sweatband running through the Molympic Stadium is everything you want in your life.

3. ‘I’m not saying what we’re going to do, but bring your swimwear.’ The only thing I want right now is to go to Rick’s cool high school party with the Rich Parents.

4. Trick question: how many clean underwear does Fons still need to get through an average episode, do you think?

5. Fortunately, after this mountain climbing assignment, we don’t have an annoying song stuck in our heads For The Rest Of The F*cking Day. Mexico… Meee-heeee-xiiiiicooohoooooo. Ooooooh, land of all my dreams!

6. I can’t help but chuckle at Justin who is barking around the whole episode with a monotone drone. ‘Totally fun, such a crappy song about Mexico, but where is my information?’ ‘Hello?’ Why is no one communicating normally??? ‘ANNA, CALM DOWN!!! &%*#@’

7. Tooske is meanwhile the horror of the average fortune teller looking for a piece of confirmation.

‘Do you play an instrument?’
‘No.’
‘You love sugar, right?’
‘No, not really.’
‘You get angry quickly…’
‘Uh, no.’
HAHAHA.

8. The contrast of the teams couldn’t be greater this episode. The daredevils who almost smash themselves against a rock (I would shit forty colors, but luckily Fons has enough underwear) and the lazy ones by the pool who have no idea WTF they are actually doing with their loosely massaged shoulders.

9. ‘Out of poverty, we just started playing those games,’ says Kees. Or as Jeroen perfectly summarizes the exciting pool afternoon: ‘We were just like a runaway camping team. It was just a day activity.’

10. Speaking of this bromance: Spitz & Spek is already our favorite alliance/meditation team???

11. And something else, but as a Mole, you make sure 100 percent that you end up with the lazy group so you can constantly get up and walk around?

12. Jeroen Spitzenberger was actually lying there very relaxed. Glasses on, everything. And Mr. was heavily irritated afterwards. Not the behavior a typical Mole would have…

13. And one more thing: as treasurer, you would be a SICK bold Mole if Justin immediately starts bluffing by stealing that 250 euros from that pot. As far as I’m concerned, Justin is falling a bit short after this episode.

14. Besides, Jus, you’re letting money disappear while you have Cheese from the Bacon in your group? Then you’re not quite right. There’s scamming going on here abroad!!!

15. Naaaaa: are we ending up with the dominatrix who does a sort of Oprah YOU GET A TOPITO AND YOU GET A TOPITO again, while we still haven’t received any info about Babs? Come on makers, what is this, we want to know what happens to those who are eliminated and if they come back. More context here, please!

16. Tweet of the week: ‘One more topito and then we have a complete token to bring Ron Boszhardt back.’ HAHA.

17. Oh and, Jip was mainly focused on Justin. In episode 1, she also bet on him. Can we conclude from this that Justin is absolutely NOT the Mole? I think so.

Well, are we any wiser in this search? Nope. Who the Mole is? Pfff, no idea. It’s still a bit of guesswork after that second broadcast, but: I think Rian is just the type that it could suddenly be. And I also don’t trust Fons and Tooske at all.

PS: I’m very curious about your findings and thoughts: will you let me know via Instagram at @kikiduren if you see suspicious practices? We’ll chat more there. See ya next week, molliebollies.

PPS: I also have a blind spot, I’m realizing, and that’s called Rosario.
