Wie is de Mol

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.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! We will see you next week for Episode 3!
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 53:19. Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though.
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.

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 43:51. 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!
