Kiki’s Mollotenbrabbels week 5: OMG, yeheees! Babs is BACK!
Hello molloten. Did we enjoy again? Meeeeine gute, what assignments they were again, huh. From horse-drawn carriages and counting flags to being stingy about trumps and a half pot going to waste. This group, my god. It just keeps going while everyone runs overheated, sweaty, and confused through Mexico and everything fails.
Time to babble about the episode then? That's what I thought.
1. OMG, YEEHEEES, BABS IS BACK! And immediately a theory: since so much went out of the pot this episode, could she still be the Mole? What does it matter that you've been gone for two episodes to throw everyone off track? That would be bizarrely brilliant, right?
2. Hmm, what's exciting about this theory is that the building of the block tower in the sand had to be won by Babs. And how do you fake that? Would the production have given Justin and Jip much more crooked blocks or did Babs practice building blocks for ten years? As creators, you take a mega risk in this case...
3. Seriously, how chill is your life when you're carting around Mexico in a horse-drawn carriage with a bunch of adults during work hours and playing games?
4. ‘We’re going crazy. The simplest things don’t work with these temperatures. It’s like we’re coming out of an institution.’ HAHAHA oh, I LOVE Jeroen so much.
5. Tweet of the week?
‘Glad I’m not participating in this task, I’ve proven before that I’m bad at counting colored flags. Especially when they are red.’
6. Wow. Thirty-eight thousand six hundred forty euros possibly in the pot. You already know, huh: that’s never going to happen. But how delightful it seems to smash those mole piñatas like a madman.
7. Except for the Mole… He never has to go home. Ah gus… THAT’S why Dennis Weening!!! The best man has been stuck in Mexico since 2008. Naaaa.
8. Wait a minute: Babs is back, Dennis Weening is back, could Ron be...??
9. HAHA, did you see that man on the bench when Jeroen screamed ‘ROSARIOOOOOOOO’ so beastly? Priceless.
10. And speaking of Sor: here’s a very serious theory we can’t ignore. Another word for scarecrow is ‘molik’. MOL-IK. Who got the word ‘scarecrow’? And who also casually took his ‘favorite color’ purple, which just happened to have -3000 in it? I’m going down a tunnel here, you know!
He’s the dad you want to have, right?
11. Kees isn’t doing a damn thing this whole season and we just love it. Come on, he’s the dad you want to have, right? The one who beats up the bad guys and stuff? Who’s joining the Kees fan club? On Mondays we gather to binge all his seasons.
12. And yes, Jeroen just casually pulls the Johan Cruijff of this season.
‘What you look at is what you see. And what you don’t look at, you don’t see.’
I uh, refrain from comment.
13. NO. Don’t say it’s true. HOW DARE THEY PULL SPITZ & SPEK APART!!!
What a ridiculously abrupt end to this bromance. That kiss from Kees too, naaaa. Completely tearing, this.
14. By the way, I miss the alliances this season! Where are they? And why don’t we see where the candidates sleep? I always find that so cozy. This season is mostly veeeery complicated game and little school trip. Come on creators, where’s all the fun?
15. The final score? A hefty blow has been dealt by the Mole. Half of the pot is gone. Soon there will be so much mingled in that the candidates will have to pay to ever get out of Mexico.
16. Furthermore, I must mention with shame that my mole compass is seriously broken this season. Who is messing things up? Rosario? Kees? Fons? Rian? Even Bábs! Man man, I’m not ruling anything out anymore…
Which Mole are you on? Do you have a brilliant theory that I’m overlooking? Slide into my Insta inbox to @kikiduren chat about our favorite show.
See you next week, mole buddies! Joeeee.
