Hindsight is 2010

Let the Chain Gang exemption go, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan! Over these nine weeks, two guys who are trying to work out who's moling here and who just sucks - Logan & Michael - are recapping and looking back at all that happened in the Land of Samurai, Shogun and the Rising Sun, continuing with the fifth episode and execution of Hind.
In this episode - we (belatedly) celebrate Logan's birthday, Michael has some more Chain Gang news, Barbara gets an early eulogy, we wonder whether there was more than we saw to the Frits heel turn, Karel's real statement is revealed, Michael tries to avoid a pun-off, no-one actually takes pity on Frits, there's another delightful Pieter Jan Hagens dick moment, we reveal where the advantages were hidden, the lack of maximum for the karaoke challenge annoys us, there's an obvious joke and we both take it, Kim gets passive-aggressive, we wonder if Pieter Jan will roast us, the ending of the episode is rushed and we discuss what the Mole actually did.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! We will see you next week for Episode 6!
Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with some of our previous Historical seasons, there is a small spoiler section at the end of the episode - starting at 39:31. Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though. There is also a discussion about Latvian and Polish Moles, because of course there is.
Additional note: Can anyone blame Pieter Jan for having favourites? Not us - we're far too scared of him!

Amman Inside Me

Get to the garden, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan!

In this episode - Frits takes a heel turn, we sound like casual fans, Logan gets distracted (twice!), Erik learns what a mobile phone is, Pieter Jan goes Good Will Hunting, Chain Gang holds a record (we think), we wonder where Pieter Jan was hiding for the stretcher challenge, there's a quick tour through Chain Gang history, Logan learns about a Patreon tier, Frits loses his leverage, we talk about underedited players and we discuss what the Mole actually did this week.

Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; Belgie 4-10) is fair game though. In addition, due to Chain Gang's return we also discuss its results in US5, Germany 6 (which you should definitely watch if you like US Mole!), France and Australia 6.
Additional note: Does anyone feel sorry for Barbara? Twice she got a red screen, and she still didn't change her suspicion! What a numpty...

Bitter! At the AVRO

Know what's fish and what's candy, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan! Over these nine weeks, two guys who are just sitting back with a drink and bitching about people to their faces - Logan & Michael - are recapping and looking back at all that happened in the Land of Samurai, Shogun and the Rising Sun, continuing with the third episode, disappearance of Manuel and choice of the group to save Barbara.
In this episode - Logan veers ever closer to spoiling things, someone does a heel turn, we try and rehabilitate the reputation of the driving school challenge, we wonder whether Sanne was being deliberately antagonistic, Pieter Jan continues his wonderful streak, Michael heads off a complaint, Peggy makes another cameo, we reveal why Karel left WIDM, Logan learns something about Patagonia, an old friend pops by, we request a new tradition, Michael gives a lesson on topitos, Manuel gets eulogised (unlike in the show), we wonder whether the non-elimination twist rules out a suspect and we discuss what the Mole actually did this episode.

Sanne, Get Your Gun

Form the first, last and only line of defence against bad seasons, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan! Over these nine weeks, two guys who have no impact or influence over anything anyone else experiences - Logan & Michael - are recapping and looking back at all that happened in the Land of Samurai, Shogun and the Rising Sun, continuing with the second episode and elimination of global sweetheart Tim.
In this episode - we wonder why Tim was hyped up last week, the differences between old and new WIDM become starker, Japan might be a tipping point, Michael reveals how jokers have evolved, we worry we've already said too much about who the Mole is, we wonder whether the first team were right to target students, the tram challenge dates the episode, we compare Japan notes, Logan talks about the night he spent at Holland Village, the weather intervenes to make Frits lose, Hind gets an advantage, the Joker negotiation is forgettable, Tim is the new Jessica, we campaign for a Renaissance inclusion, we look ahead to the rather infamous next episode and we discuss what the Mole actually did.

Additional note: Every season we do on Historians has an iconic episode. Next week is that iconic episode. Two amazing challenges, two amazing surprises and one infamous phrase all await!

The Unwritten Law of Montages

Choose the period clip, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan! Over the next nine weeks, our global bondje of gobshites - Logan & Michael - will be recapping and looking back at all that happened in the Land of Samurai, Shogun and the Rising Sun, beginning with the premiere episode and elimination of Loretta.
In this episode - we explain why we picked this season, Logan hands out an award, Michael's unironic favourite is revealed, there is a forgotten WIDM cameo, we adapt a Belgian feature just for Pieter Jan, there is a very recognisable piece of music to fans of British TV, Logan compares WIDM to prison, nobody understands the second challenge, we wonder why everyone laughed at Loretta going home, a small bit of forgiveness is offered and we discuss what the Mole actually did, as well as acknowledging the original subtitler of this season and wondering if the Mole had too many people already on their trail.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! 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.

Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though. Due to the nature of this episode, there is also a discussion about the ending of WIDM Season 3.
Additional note: Strap in for another very fun season, but also don't forget to tweet Logan first with #HappyBirthdayLogan on Saturday! It's also Michelle's birthday tomorrow but we're far too scared to do anything like this to her!

An Announcement!

By now, you have probably heard the news about Logan's fiancée Jee-An's death on Sunday, 12th June 2022 and understandably we took a step back from our plans to release Wie is de Mol: Japan episodes beginning June 29th as a result of this.
 
In this special announcement episode, Michael returns to explain the plans for our Historians seasons going forward and also present a clip from an episode in our Japan season recapping what actually happened.
 
See you soon!
