The Golden Rule of Lying

Don't watch too far ahead, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over the next nine weeks, two guys who are at least better liars than Roos - Logan & Michael - will be looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, beginning with the premiere episode and elimination of Vincent.
In this episode, we have a few parish notices to begin the season, Michael finally tells his Vancouver story, there's a brilliant way for the candidates to be revealed, we try not to complain about Jeroen too much, we question whether you really associate Oregon with the Wild West, Michael sings Imanuelle's praises already, something seems to be missing from the opening challenge, we wonder where the Mole would want to be in the helicopter or on the ground divide, Logan makes the case for the group of six making a mistake targeting Vincent, we wonder whether Thomas has ever seen the show before, Vincent's lack of honesty lets him down, Diederik has no idea what a Prisoner's Dilemma is, we spot a difference between the various versions of the Mole and Logan makes his first set of predictions.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! We will see you next week!
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.
Additional note: Everything has been leading up to this - on Friday, we unleash Episode 400. See you then!

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5. These episodes do skirt the lines of spoilers a little more than normal, due to the slightly more...infamous aspects of the season.
Additional note: Logan would consider the Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera modern technology. His phone camera didn't top two megapixels until the late 2010s.
