A Series of Unfortunate Tunnelling

Notice the bear walking round, because we're back for De Mol België Season 12 - and its visit to the place Logan's ancestors fled under the cloak of darkness - Sicily! Over these nine weeks, two guys who are lovely, massively inept human beings - Michael & Logan - have - alongside Bindles - been recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who has been given an offer that they couldn't refuse - to become the Mole - concluding with the reunion episode!
In this episode - we're still not over the finale, Gilles answers our question, we've got a new stock question for any interviews, something was missing from the reunion, we touch upon the impending return of NetMol, Michael has a TV recommendation, there are some Amazing Race updates, the WIDM Reunion bingo board is marked, Logan contemplates a pilgrimage, Gillian is refreshingly honest, the reunion is frustrating, covertly filming your mother feels mean, Logan talks about an obscure Canadian commercial, authenticity is essential, there's time for one final Bad Romance, Sicily gets ranked, there's one final bingo card to score and Fuzzy worries she may have spotted a clue.
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made.
Additional note: Shortly we'll return for Historians, and I hope you were surprised by the reveal of what it'll be!

The Horse Always Wins

Cut it at a very noisy point, because we're back for De Mol België Season 12 - and its visit to the place Logan's ancestors fled under the cloak of darkness - Sicily! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are still shattered from their respective weekends - Michael, Logan & Bindles - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who has been given an offer that they couldn't refuse - to become the Mole - continuing with the finale and reveal of Senne as the Mole LIVE from Kinepolis (well, Michael & Logan were)!
In this episode - Logan threatens a late checkout fee, someone is thrown out of a casino, we fill in the gaps from the Diary episode bingo board, the topic of souvenirs is skirted, Michael asks about the Eminem "clue", Logan's been to see some Pole dancing, there's a three-way chat with a parent, Bindles comes up a bit short, Michael's notes get exposed, the Mole is on our wavelength, we spot a pun, Animal Crossing is educational, one of us is a bully, Daniel Peake gets his mandatory shoutout, we're glad UK Mole never did the statue challenge, a major clue is spotted after the fact, we reveal the results to the Pool and First Suspicions, Logan has Five Guys in Antwerp, a new Suspect List champion is crowned and this week is one of the longest ever.
We will see you next week for the reunion!

Additional note: Kinepolis was a lot of fun, wasn't it? Can't believe Michael's streak continued!

Pretend there's no rush, because we're back for a very special De Mol België Season 12 episode, live from Kinepolis (or at least the parking lot)!

In this episode - we react to the reveal, there's a quick preview of First Suspicions, Senne explains how awkward the bath was, Gilles tries not to laugh, the nicknames come up, Gilles gives us his spaghetti bolognaise recipe, the doubler on the beach leads to another promise, fearlessness is a common trait, Papa Bear is finally accepted, there's a question from a surprising source, Bernard reveals something about Philippe, Logan gets kettled, Antwerp Antwerps and we say thank you to those who let us come to the finale.
Thank you so much to Gilles, Isabelle & everyone at Play4 for inviting us again - we'll be back on Thursday to recap the finale proper!

Exit, Pursued by a Hunter

Say your (potential) goodbyes, as we are back for Hunted UK's lucky seventh series! Over these six weeks (regardless of Channel 4's broadcast schedule), three people who are all running off in different directions after this episode, in the hope that none of them get caught - Michael, Anthony & Michelle - returned to recap the hunt for twelve new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - concluding with the final episode, capture of Cameron and escape of Jaxon, Nicola & Sade.
In this episode - Michael breaks a promise and ties up a loose end, we discuss Race Across the World, there's another message from Alex Ayling, Doug gets one final undermining, Ray runs out of cliches, we wonder why Kirsty couldn't just catch some fugitives herself, some local knowledge refutes what the Hunters claimed, two of us issue an apology, we wonder where the crying scene was, Michelle googles "Stipples Town", Production have some contingency plans, we go back to the final ascent, there was a major clue that it wasn't a Clean Sweep, Mothers' Week begins, we say our (potential) goodbyes, the podcasts' impact is explained and we worry about some backlash for the banner.
Thank you for listening to this episode - Michael, Logan & Bindles are continuing covering De Mol België every Thursday before we'll be back for more Historians later in the year!
 
Additional note: Obviously, if this is the end of Civilian Hunted we'll be disappointed, but thank you to everyone who's listened to our Hunted podcasts over the last eight(!) years. Thanks to everyone who's been involved in the show - whether Hunter, Fugitive or Gold Command (love you Kevin!) - and anyone who's interacted with us, whether for one episode or forty-six - we hope this won't be the end!
