Silence is a Tacit Endorsement

Get really enthusiastic about pronouns, as we are back for our second season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race Australia 2! Over these twelve weeks, three people who sit there and say "awkward!" from the sidelines - Logan, Michael & Michelle - are recapping a season that has an insane reputation amongst fans (which is completely justified), continuing with the fifth leg and second non-elimination leg.
In this episode - Michelle gets a very Michelle intro, Paul doesn't understand collusion, James & Sarah's fight continues, Paul gets credit for staying calm, we wonder if anyone comes out of the marina argument looking good, Michael introduces everyone to Taskmaster, we explain why Sticky & Sam have exes, the meaning of cowardice is explained after the U-Turn, Michelle & Jo prove to be very successful, Logan learns something new, Michelle's daughters are allowed out of the oubliette to roll their eyes, the Istanbul Incident is told from a very interesting perspective, we go through the history of the Hagia Sophia, Logan makes a dumb joke, Michelle reaches her limit, Lucy & Emilia nearly break their streak, we wonder if it was the right call to take the penalty and next week's not-so-great episode is foreshadowed.
Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Leg 6!
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 3; 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5.
Additional note: Alright, everybody strap in - it's going to be a bumpy ride for the next few episodes! Lots of confrontation coming...

The Eleventh Word

Put on your Slush Puppie socks, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, three guys who have been known to intentionally throw the coin toss - Michael, Logan & Bindles - have been recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, concluding with the reunion.
In this episode - we wonder whether our cameo was successful, Bindles shows up, we blame the "Bloody DeLorean", there's a bit of gloaty housekeeping, Comfort's attitude as Mole is refreshing, we touch upon Finale Fashion, Gilles' secret is revealed, the cameo is critiqued, another Mole franchise spoils its third Mole, the season's legacy is analysed, the opportunity to dump on NetMol is taken, our next Mole Historians is spelt out, Bindles has been sneaky (fifteen times!) and credit is given to those we deem worthy.
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made.
Additional note: In this episode, you'll find out what's next - and we've been hiding something...

Those We Deem Worthy

Find someone to share the awkwardness and terror of "oh shit, we're wrong!" with, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, two guys who always give you a hard time for messing up one verb conjugation - Michael & Logan - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, continuing with the eighth episode and reveal of Comfort as Mole!
In this episode - we discuss how busy our respective weeks were, Logan had a reaction, someone earns praise, we recalibrate what we expect from a Mole in future, Michael has a particularly awkward record, we swap airline opinions, there are more stories that weren't in the Diary, our opinions on the DeLorean twist slightly change, we've had our first Listener Correction of the Week in years (kind of) which could lead to some repercussions, Michael runs through the bonus bingo card, we wonder what happened to Larry, Toos is a team player, we rank pieces of information, the reason for the cactus fall is revealed, the way to be okay with the DeLorean is explained, Season 12 is happening, There are the official results of the Pool, First Impressions and Suspicions (where someone does a Michael Harmstone Classic), our Suspicions and the Suspect List, the pot is compared and we begin to rank the season.
We will see you next week for the reunion!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made. This episode also - for potentially obvious reasons! - refers to something that happened in Mole Australia 4 a few times, as well as the actions of someone in El Salvador & Nicaragua.
Additional note: We're still in shock, as was the rest of the press room - can we make sense of it next week?

Diary of a Mol (Finale) II

Go about your day with a little bit of trolling but mostly love, because we're back for a very special De Mol België Season 11 episode, as your inherently imperfect host Michael attends the finale at Kinepolis in Antwerp, guides you through the experience of a press screening and interviews Gilles and the newest Mole!
In this episode - Michael rights a wrong, there's a realisation about the downside of doing so many Historians seasons, Gilles compliments the set-up, we answer the Russia question, Gilles reveals the secrets of producing such a great version, we've been talked about, the future of the show is confirmed, the Mole reveals all and Michael walks around hiding a secret.
Thank you so much to Gilles, Lies & everyone at Play4 for inviting us again - we'll be back on Thursday to recap the finale proper!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made.
Additional Note: Don't know if that glass is going to survive in Michael's rucksack, but tune in on Thursday to find out if he's smashed it or not!
