                    • Episode #560 – Wie is de Mol 2009 Episode 5 Recap

                      Slide down a hill in an incredibly bad taste way, because we are back for our seventh season of looking back at Wie is de Mol history and twenty-fifth Mole season, and we’re going all the way back to 2009 with Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine episodes, three guys who don’t take up a lot of space – Logan, Bindles & I – are going back through the archives to discuss a season people have been asking us to do for years – continuing with the fifth episode and execution of Froukje.

                      In this week’s recap:

                      • Are we excited to finally talk about this episode?
                      • Where did the “Paula was competent” narrative come from?
                      • Did they throw money at them this week?
                      • Did Cowboys ever make it to Northern Ireland?
                      • Who is the Natalia of this final seven?
                      • Bindles gives us some weird logic.
                      • Have we been to Jordan?
                      • Rick falls (and not for the last time)!
                      • How would this laser game have looked with a different cast?
                      • We try not to fact check Pieter Jan Hagens, of all people.
                      • Is the laser game in a lot smaller an area than normal?
                      • Did Logan & I go to the same bit of the Dead Sea?
                      • Why does Phil Keoghan care about Kingdoms?
                      • Which of the five crusader-themed locations would we pick?
                      • How unbearable will Amazing Race Canada be this year?
                      • Why did they spend so long on B-roll?
                      • How do you get from Belfast to Dublin?
                      • Is the market trip a nice idea?
                      • How bad is shisha for you?
                      • Is the shisha challenge a secretly nasty one?
                      • Should we all Be More Bindles?
                      • Will there have been side effects from the shisha challenge?
                      • Is the shisha challenge actually a good one?
                      • We set another maximum.
                      • Bindles educates us on a Spanish gameshow.
                      • Did Pieter Jan know the money wouldn’t turn up?
                      • We look for a very niche new AI voice.
                      • And Logan locks in his fifth set of suspects.
