Reality TV Warriors

Inclognito

Remember your route through the Memory Maze, because a new decade of Reality TV Warriors begins with Wie is de Mol 2024: Les 9 Atouts du Rik van der Westelaken - and WIDM continues following België's lead and heads back to Mexico! Over these ten weeks, three guys who do not understand the words that are coming out of your mouth - Michael, Logan & Bindles - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens on the show's return to Mexico in our twentieth Mole season, continuing with the sixth episode and elimination of Tooske!
In this episode - we look ahead to whether Integrity will be Rewarded next week, Bindles has been learning things about us, Logan reveals a secret, someone gets a surprise, Michael talks about his Instagram feed, a new favourite changes jobs, Kees leaves us a review, Production have been looking to Belgium, we wonder whether Fons actually sabotaged the table, the relevance of thirteen is questioned, Bindles spots an error with the spit bondje, three nerdy white guys try to define "swag", Logan digs himself an oubliette, the Test twist is the return of a British gameshow, Michael's reaction to the execution is revealed, we lock in our sixth set of suspicions and try to predict who's going home correctly for the first time all season.

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made.
Additional note: Anna is now Michael's only hope - can we stop Michelle's romp to victory?

The Chris Underwood Situation

Wish Daniel Peake a Happy Groundhog Day (no, for real - @danielpeake), because a new decade of Reality TV Warriors begins with Wie is de Mol 2024: Les 9 Atouts du Rik van der Westelaken - and WIDM continues following België's lead and heads back to Mexico!

In this episode - we have a Gamble to contend with, this week's banner may be slightly obvious, we stay spoiler-free, there is the update that everyone's been waiting for, Logan vies for the First Suspicions crown, Michael wonders if Jip & Justin were actually in their boxes, we may start looking at Rosario, a perennial rant returns, we sift through the logic of the first challenge, Michael has a reputation, it all goes a bit Amazing Race podcasts, yet another unaired answer is revealed, a final four is almost confirmed, there is a brief sojourn into The Challenge, we wonder if the Mole needed to take a minus amount, the envelope distribution is puzzled out, Rian's reason for not going home is revealed, we again wish Daniel Peake a Happy Groundhog Day, Bindles notices something about the executions, there are the latest updates to the Pool and First Suspicions, we try and guess who's going home next and lock in our fifth set of suspicions and we again wish Daniel Peake a Happy Groundhog Day.

Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-11) may be made. Additionally, the actual episode does include an extensive cameo by the Mole from Season 8, but we do not discuss specifics of this in our recap to keep it spoiler-free. There are also references to Mole Australia 4 and WIDM 2, 5 & 7 and Germany 5's twists in this episode, as well as Germany 5's Mole being discussed.
Additional note: Can you believe we still have seven candidates left with only three executions? There are no good options to resolve it!

This...is Episode 500!

On this very day ten years ago, a legend was born. Some have described it as "the most important podcast ever to exist". Others aren't related to us (thanks Mum!). Nevertheless, as we officially enter the second decade of Reality TV Warriors, we are looking back in our own special way.
Join Michael and three unsuspecting victims willing participants as we close out 2023 and Year 10 with a very special look back - much to Logan, Michelle & Anthony's utter surprise and terror.
Please note: Thank you so much to everyone who's listened in our first decade. Thanks go to Logan, Michelle, Anthony, Bindles, Eamon, Ben, Heather, Spencer & Ashlyn for all their hard work but most importantly to Michael who's been a part of far too many of these episodes. It has been a genuine delight (well, mostly) and we can't wait to return in 2024 with more utter nonsense!
Additional note: This is a rare time when we'd suggest watching the episode too - our YouTube has the completely unedited version where you can see the board too, and also more importantly the frustrated faces that get made when another punny clue is revealed.

The Schiphol Mol

Find out just how much those ping pong balls are worth, because we are back for our fifth season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going back to 2011's offering in El Salvador & Nicaragua! Over these ten weeks, three guys who know all about deeply unsexy pillow fighting - Logan, Michael & Bindles - have been recapping and looking back at all that happened on the trip through two countries that we still can't quite believe they visited, concluding with the final two episodes, elimination of Karin and reveal of Patrick as the Mole.
In this episode - we're forced to date the podcast, Logan tries to rescue some pride, we wonder if Soundos & Karin could have stopped Art, Michael notices one final thing in the intro, Bindles explains the episode title, there's an Aaf flashback, we explain why Karin didn't return, Michael worries about something in the future past, the virtues of Pieter Jan's backhanded insults are extolled, Soundos' comments about her future children ages really well, we spoil a season of Expeditie Robinson, the award for most inept test taker in WIDM history is given out, there's a bit of unintentional foreshadowing, the hidden clues get praised, we eulogise Pieter Jan's WIDM seasons, someone doesn't go down well on a rewatch, the Mole gets ranked, an old Mole gets a shoutout, the final set of suspicions are revealed, the season gets eulogised and we wonder if El Salvador & Nicaragua would have been visited if HD wasn't a thing.
Thank you for listening - we will see you on December 11th - our tenth anniversary - for Episode #500!
Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 14 & 17, there would ordinarily be no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before, but this is the last episode of the season, so it's a free for all now! In addition, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; Belgie 4-11) is fair game.
Additional note: You may have noticed this is Episode #499. I wonder what could be coming next...
