No Strings Attached

Change a couple of letters and make it Dutch, 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 love to message contestants to tell them that they're wrong - 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 third episode and elimination of Remy.
In this episode - we wonder how relaxing a harp alarm clock would be, Logan gives us a cameo timestamp, "social experiment" is a meaningless buzzword, Michael breaks some news about one of our friends, we explain the Circle of Life for being on TV, Logan's Google history is revealed, Anthony makes a cameo in text form, we find some more hints to do with Eminem that have aged horribly, the first challenge has a confusing maximum, we wonder if the "Follow the Money" clue was actually good, Michael gets pernickety about drones, we wonder why Tim was the sacrificial lamb, Taeke gets himself a new nickname, WIDM goes into blooper mode, the episode gets a bit dated thanks to Cecile, Logan ranks his favourite horses, the stars align for us in terms of recording, the "Power over the Test" twist is a bit of a letdown, we explain why WIDM has never cast a trombone player, Michael's First Suspicion is revealed, Logan locks in his third set of suspicions and Bindles looks at what Remy is now up to.
Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 4!
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.

Staring Contest Does Not Earn You a Topito

Get nowhere for 45 minutes, 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 Big Dude Energy - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a season (and episode!) with quite a reputation in the Mole fan communities, continuing with the second episode and elimination of Airen.
In this episode - there's a small spoiler for next week, we tie up some loose ends already, Michael has some information for El Salvador/Nicaragua, the real creator of "etherdiscipline" is revealed, the salt mine challenge is utterly impossible, we explain the legacy of Ellie Lust, Logan misses the wooing lady, Michael puts his foot down, there's a new way to age someone, Art finally embraces the contempt, we try not to spoil anything in the most infamous challenge in WIDM history, Ellie is oblivious, Bindles gets some homework, there's an awkward goodbye, Logan locks in his suspicions, our new hit feature already hits a landmine and Airen gets eulogised.
Thank you for listening - 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 this episode features a rather infamous challenge at the end of it, if you want to stay completely unspoiled for the season, feel free to skip 35:15-36:05 as we discuss exactly what was the biggest clue of the episode.

A Reverse Jeroen

Bring three or four uggos with you, 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 obviously have no choice but to stan - Logan, Michael & Bindles - will be recapping and looking back at all that happened on a season with quite a reputation in the Mole fan communities, beginning with the first episode and elimination of no-one.
In this episode - we gloat a bit since we recorded before this season was revealed, our plans for next episode are teased, there is a forgotten element to the season, Logan meets an icon, Bindles falls down some rabbit holes, we uncover the Dutch Banksy, there's some deep diving into the archives, a new segment is launched (and will genuinely return!), the Mole regrets calling Hugo, everyone says Hola, Tim Hofman kills the voice, Michael's love of Mole Money comes back, there are some Survivor: Guatemala flashbacks, another one of Logan's favourite movies is revealed, someone dodges a bullet and the first suspicions of the season are locked in.
Thank you for listening - 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, 17-24 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made.
