Mennifer

Starve yourself twice for our amusement, because we are back for our fourth season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2014's offering in Hong Kong & the Philippines! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are always in the attack zone when they make eye contact - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on the trip through two countries Michael & Logan know very well between them, continuing with the fourth episode and elimination of Daphne.
In this episode - Bindles is surprised by his intro, Michael revisits Hong Kong, Logan forgets a landmark, Mennifer is compared to Michael Scott, we wonder if the Mole forced a green screen for a surprising reason, Survivor South Africa is somehow relevant, we throw our hats into the ring to advise on a Mole season, Logan reminisces about DVDs, Aaf takes a page out of the Robb Zbacnik playbook, Daphne gets duped again, Freek is a bit premature, Bindles hits a wall, Michael issues a partial correction, a discussion is interrupted, we attempt to eulogise Daphne and Logan reveals his latest set of suspicions.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael, Logan & Bindles directly! We will see you next week for Episode 5!
Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our Oregon coverage, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though.
Additional note: No-one predicted the Rise of Mennifer, surely. She's the main character we didn't know that we deserved!

Mutually Assured Distrustion

Over these nine weeks, two guys who are Freekishly tall (and also Bindles) are recapping and looking back at all that happened on the trip through two countries Michael & Logan know very well between them, continuing with the third episode and elimination of absolutely no-one.
In this episode - Aaf's age reaches breaking point, Logan tries the episode title, someone is hyper-paranoid, the twist is needlessly complicated, Jan-Willem takes a heel turn, we find value in making Tygo carry things, there's a rush for a pun, Tygo causes a name change, Hunted Australia brings us something useful, we run head-first into a Tobias Funke moment, Bindles invokes a throwback, Michael seeks attention, we wonder if Daphne regrets her choice, the non-elimination challenge is odd, Logan reveals his suspect list and Deep Blue Something get some much needed royalties.

Additional note: Have you watched the final two episodes yet? You should - they're amazing! See you next week!

The Suitcase Giveth, and The Suitcase Taketh Away

Think about what you did three rounds ago, because we are back for our third season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2010's offering in Japan!

Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with some of our previous Historical seasons, there is a small spoiler section at the end of the episode - starting at 49:08. Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though.
Additional note: Should you feel sorry for Arjen after this episode? Probably not - he's now worth ALL OF THE MONEY.

Teabaggin’ with Frits

Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with some of our previous Historical seasons, there is a small spoiler section at the end of the episode - starting at 37:45. Any season we have already covered (WIDM 17-22 and Renaissance; België 4-10) is fair game though. We do however spoil the next elimination (for reasons that will become apparent!) from 6:09-6:46, and one of the eliminations from the El Salvador & Nicaragua season (which I'm pretty sure we've talked about before!).
Additional note: A very interesting choice from Sanne this week. Will it pay off?
