Reality TV Warriors

Bring three or four uggos with you, because we are back for our sixth season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2016's offering in the Dominican Republic! Over these nine weeks, three guys who obviously have no choice but to stan - Logan, Michael & Bindles - will be recapping and looking back at all that happened on a season with quite a reputation in the Mole fan communities, beginning with the first episode and elimination of no-one.

In this episode - we gloat a bit since we recorded before this season was revealed, our plans for next episode are teased, there is a forgotten element to the season, Logan meets an icon, Bindles falls down some rabbit holes, we uncover the Dutch Banksy, there's some deep diving into the archives, a new segment is launched (and will genuinely return!), the Mole regrets calling Hugo, everyone says Hola, Tim Hofman kills the voice, Michael's love of Mole Money comes back, there are some Survivor: Guatemala flashbacks, another one of Logan's favourite movies is revealed, someone dodges a bullet and the first suspicions of the season are locked in.

Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 2!

Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 14 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-12) is fair game though.

Notice the bear walking round, because we're back for De Mol België Season 12 - and its visit to the place Logan's ancestors fled under the cloak of darkness - Sicily! Over these nine weeks, two guys who are lovely, massively inept human beings - Michael & Logan - have - alongside Bindles - been recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who has been given an offer that they couldn't refuse - to become the Mole - concluding with the reunion episode!

In this episode - we're still not over the finale, Gilles answers our question, we've got a new stock question for any interviews, something was missing from the reunion, we touch upon the impending return of NetMol, Michael has a TV recommendation, there are some Amazing Race updates, the WIDM Reunion bingo board is marked, Logan contemplates a pilgrimage, Gillian is refreshingly honest, the reunion is frustrating, covertly filming your mother feels mean, Logan talks about an obscure Canadian commercial, authenticity is essential, there's time for one final Bad Romance, Sicily gets ranked, there's one final bingo card to score and Fuzzy worries she may have spotted a clue.

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made.

Additional note: Shortly we'll return for Historians, and I hope you were surprised by the reveal of what it'll be!

Cut it at a very noisy point, because we're back for De Mol België Season 12 - and its visit to the place Logan's ancestors fled under the cloak of darkness - Sicily! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are still shattered from their respective weekends - Michael, Logan & Bindles - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who has been given an offer that they couldn't refuse - to become the Mole - continuing with the finale and reveal of Senne as the Mole LIVE from Kinepolis (well, Michael & Logan were)!

Pretend there's no rush, because we're back for a very special De Mol België Season 12 episode, live from Kinepolis (or at least the parking lot)! After five long years, Logan has returned to be in the press room, as we find out who the Mole is - as well as talk to both the winner and Mole, as well as our now-annual chat with Gilles!

In this episode - we react to the reveal, there's a quick preview of First Suspicions, Senne explains how awkward the bath was, Gilles tries not to laugh, the nicknames come up, Gilles gives us his spaghetti bolognaise recipe, the doubler on the beach leads to another promise, fearlessness is a common trait, Papa Bear is finally accepted, there's a question from a surprising source, Bernard reveals something about Philippe, Logan gets kettled, Antwerp Antwerps and we say thank you to those who let us come to the finale.

Thank you so much to Gilles, Isabelle & everyone at Play4 for inviting us again - we'll be back on Thursday to recap the finale proper!

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made.

Over these six weeks (regardless of Channel 4's broadcast schedule), three people who are all running off in different directions after this episode, in the hope that none of them get caught - Michael, Anthony & Michelle - returned to recap the hunt for twelve new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - concluding with the final episode, capture of Cameron and escape of Jaxon, Nicola & Sade.

Additional note: Obviously, if this is the end of Civilian Hunted we'll be disappointed, but thank you to everyone who's listened to our Hunted podcasts over the last eight(!) years. Thanks to everyone who's been involved in the show - whether Hunter, Fugitive or Gold Command (love you Kevin!) - and anyone who's interacted with us, whether for one episode or forty-six - we hope this won't be the end!
