Charley Says ”Don’t Get Caught!”

Start your own family tradition at the end of a holiday, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over these nine weeks, two guys who have spent the past three years unravelling Mole seasons - Logan & Michael - are looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, concluding with the final two episodes, elimination of Diederik and reveal of Thomas as Mole!

Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. Unlike our previous trips back to Mole History, this season does not feature a spoiler section at the end of the podcast, as Logan hasn't seen it! Any season we have already covered (18-21; Renaissance) are fair game though - and as someone from this season did appear on Renaissance, there may be some references to their placement in that season. This episode also contains a reference to the Second American Mole's actions and a discussion about the winner of the sixth Dutch season.
Additional note: Sanne is a very worthy winner! We'll see you soon!
