Wie is de Mol

Can Cormorants Bleat?

Be cruelly denied the opportunity to make a dick joke, because we are back for Wie is de Mol 2025! Over these ten weeks, the world's least necessary commentators - Michael, Logan & Bindles - will be recapping and breaking down everything that happens on the show's visit to Cambodia in our twenty third Mole season, beginning with the first episode and surprise selection of the Mole!
In this episode - Bindles forgets he requested an intro, we help Fuzzy get an inevitable bingo square, Logan refuses to finish an anecdote, Michael has been being followed by the podcast, Bindles holds an iconic trophy, Logan gets a new segment, AI has its use, a choice is offered, Michael reveals a lie, we make probably our most important announcement ever, Logan discovers the new intro, we try and make a new Best Friend (there's room for two, Gilles!), the fan reactions do a full 180, Bindles loves maps, there's a genuinely interesting fact about apple crates, we reveal how Jeroen got on Renaissance, there's finally a bit of dissent, Michael reveals the logic behind the Suspect List question, Logan gives us some Cambodian knowledge, one of our favourites finally reappears, there's a perfectly understated reaction to Briefing of the Mole appearing in WIDM, we hesitantly lock-in our First Suspicions, Logan gets a personal challenge, we try and predict who's going home first and there's some praise for the lack of a convoluted non-elimination episode (so far).
You can join in with our First Suspicions game by filling in the form here and play along with this week's Bother's Bar Suspect List here. We will see you next week for Episode 2!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-24 and Renaissance; België 4-12) may be made.

Pumping Airen

Abandon the fruit at checkout, 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 have all memorised one square of a sudoku - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a season with quite a reputation in the Mole fan communities, continuing with the fifth episode and elimination of Marjolein.
In this episode - we've had a little midseason break, Venice has a lot of scams, a restraining order is nearly used, Papa Bear has been to a theme park, Logan reveals his logic, Michael explains one of his podcast-themed goals, there are the first whispers of NetMol II: It's Your Own Damn Fault At This Point, an old segment returns, there is an update on our favourite hot dog eater, Bindles has been waiting six weeks to do a joke, someone gets forgotten, we look for sponsors, Logan earns himself a time out, bright ideas come from the unlikeliest of places, someone gets an invitation to a new show, Marjolein is reluctantly eulogised and the fifth set of suspicions is locked in.
Thank you for listening - 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 our coverage of Seasons 11, 14 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-12) is fair game though.

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made. This episode may also contain references to WIDM Season 3.
Additional note: Anna is the Mole, right? I mean, we could try and build up some intrigue but we're all on for a clean sweep here.
